1 year ago Unfortunately, it looks like PotPlayer does not expose its media playback controls for external programs to access like Windows Media Player or AIMP does, so that is difficult if not impossible to do unless the developers of PotPlayer changes this themselves. A user in the official Rainmeter forums had requested the same media player support in this thread here and appears to have reached the same conclusion.
If you are not completely committed to using PotPlayer, I can at the very least suggest AIMP as a feasible alternative as this is my music player of choice and it can work on a folder management system, which is how I personally organize my music as well. If not sold on the idea, most players supported natively by Rainmeter listed at the bottom of their NowPlaying documentation page as far as I understand are non-streaming based players and should fulfill your folder-organization needs perfectly if you are willing to switch.
Otherwise, I apologize since the MusicPlayer skin cannot interface with PotPlayer because it does not give control access to any external programs whatsoever, Rainmeter included. You can, however, still rewire the MusicApp to open PotPlayer on mouse click by rewiring the skin and changing its "Execution" parameter appropriately. If you use this idea, the MusicPlayer skin will become fully obsolete, and the AudioVisualizer skin will be unable to display the song title and album during playback (it will still show audio levels perfectly as it measures the system sound). However, if these consequences are negligible to you, then this is the best alternative I can recommend.

Thank you for this excellent project. I set this theme with Kisaki which in wallpaper engine, looks perfect.
I use potplayer as my music player, it allow me play music with folders not playlist like other music player. So is there any chance add it as a player, thanks again.
