Rainmeter-MediaMonkey

A rainmeter plugin for MediaMonkey. The plugin was designed with compatibility with the official NowPlaying plugin in mind, so most configurations for NowPlaying should be usable with minimal configuration changes.

Usage

Copy MediaMonkey.dll to your \Rainmeter\Plugins directory and create a measure with settings Plugin=MediaMonkey.

Parameters

Settings

• PlayerName - Reference to the parent of a child measure. Not required for parent measures.
• PlayerPath - Path to MediaMonkey.exe. If not provided, the plugin will attempt to auto-locate MediaMonkey.
• PlayerType - Type of the measure that should be returned. See below for valid measures.
• DisableLeadingZero - Removes the leading zero for the measures Duration and Position (i.e. MM:SS becomes M:SS). The default value is 0.
• StartupDelay - Delay in millisecond to wait until sending queries to MediaMonkey after it was started. Increase if MediaMonkey crashes right after starting while Rainmeter is running. The default value is 900.
