Monster Cat Visualizer Showing Wrong Album Art After Updating to Redux #4

Closed BicycleRiderEri closed 1 year ago

BicycleRiderEri commented 1 year ago

Monstercat Visualizer(MCV) is able to pull all of my song info and display it correctly but is stuck on the album cover it was displaying when I updated to redux. Unsure if this is an issue with redux or some kind of settings. The images below show the incorrect album art with correct song title/artist under it from Mond Player. I have attached the second picture that shows monstercat's song info in the other part of my monitor that shows MCV can pull the song info. I can even click on the play/pause/skip buttons on the album art and it functions correctly. Unsure what I could be doing wrong here but help would be appreciated. bkUo7sX hRvifw1

I have discovered that the monstercat visualizer skin when set to web mode attempts to pull the album art and stores it in C:\Users\user\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\monstercat-visualizer\@Resources\images\coverWeb.png

The upgraded version of WNP Redux saves the album cover art under C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\WebNowPlaying\cover-8974.png

I'm not sure why but for some reason the monster cat visualizer is unable to pull the album cover with the current way it's set up. Is there any way to create a toggle that would allow it to be put there or any easy fix for this?

Okay I have fixed it. I was able to go to C:\Users\user\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\monstercat-visualizer\@Resources\include\MeasureMediaWeb.inc and edit the following:

[MeasureCover] Measure=Plugin Plugin=WebNowPlaying PlayerType=Cover DefaultPath=#@#images\nocover.png CoverPath=#@#images\coverWeb.png Substitute="":"#@#images\nocover.png" UpdateDivider=100

to:

[MeasureCover] Measure=Plugin Plugin=WebNowPlaying PlayerType=Cover DefaultPath=#@#images\nocover.png CoverPath=C:\Users\Crossled\AppData\Local\WebNowPlaying\cover-8974.jpg Substitute="":"#@#images\nocover.png" UpdateDivider=100

After making this change it now correctly directs to the right image. This issue is asked about almost every day on the monstercat visualizer github page so if there is a way for you to make an easy fix for this that might help. Unfortunately I think the reason it fails to update is due to the devs not really supporting the skin anymore.

I'll go ahead and close this as I have resolved the issue.
