Position multiplying after skin reload

[KrazyManJ]

So i am currently working on widget to take control over web music player (mainly spotify) with your plugin and after each reload it multiply position parameter e.g. I reload it 5 times and instead of adding one second in position, it adds 5 seconds, 10 times reload adds 10 seconds each seconds and so on.

You can check out code of widget here.

Also i am using the newest version of Rainmeter (4.5.17.3700) (64-bit) and the newest version of this plugin (I've downloaded it yesterday).

That sounds like it might only be possible if you use the spotify desktop player. Are you sure you're using the web version of spotify and don't have the desktop player open or anything? You can check which player it's grabbing info from with PlayerType=Player, where Spotify is the website and "Windows Media Session" is Spotify Desktop

No, i am sure that i am using spotify version installed by executable and not by windows store, also i've done configuration of spotify to work with this extension via this tutorial by author of monstercat visualizer.

You had mentioned "web music player (mainly spotify)", so I thought you'd be using the website.
It doesn't matter if you have the executable or microsoft store version installed.
Please uninstall spicetify as It's no longer needed with WebNowPlaying 2.0.0 and newer and it could be the cause of the issue.

So now i can use default spotify app without spicetify and all my functionality in widget posted above should be fully compatible to gather all info by your plugin? I am asking just to be sure because that spicetify configuration took me long time to do.

As long as you're on windows 10 or 11, yes.

After proper uninstallation of spotify + spicetify and installing it back without spicetify it still does the same problem, still after skin reload it multiplies progress based on count of reload.

Do you have any other skins loaded? Do you reload all skins or just the music skin?

[KrazyManJ]

I am just reloading Music.ini skin and it is only skin i have currently on my screen. I am refreshing it via button with label "Refresh" that i can press only when i select specific skin so i assume it refreshes only that selected skin.

Please give this version of the plugin a go, replace WebNowPlaying.dll in %AppData%\Rainmeter\Plugins with the .dll in the zip: WebNowPlaying.zip

Problem solved! I guess you've modified locally your plugin and send me copy to test it. After few tries (even hard-click spamming just to test it) it does not multiply progress anymore 😁 Thank you for your quick response and solving this issue, love this plugin cuz it turns dream of making apple-like widgets come true! ❤️ Keep it up!

Glad it worked!
I actually made this to fix another users problem on the rainmeter forums. It was already committed in 35c1e22 but I have yet to make a release for it.

Just published v2.0.4 if you want the version bump
