General Discussion • Re: How to run Windows Media Player from the Neonspace/AudioPlayer skin?

Currently, I don't know how to add an MP3 playlist to this interface for it to work. Or how I can edit this interface to play the music playlist on my computer using Windows Media Player?
Although I did use Windows Media Player for videos in the past, I am currently a long time user of Winamp for audios and PotPlayer for videos, so I'm not familiar with the playlist format used by WMP. That being said, if I understood what you meant properly, to open / play an MP3 playlist of any kind, you could use the Windows' file association system and just "run" the playlist file on some mouse action or something (after that, you could probably control which of the previous, current or next tracks to play from your skins, based on the shuffle and repeat settings in the player).

For example, left clicking on the meter from the below sample skin opens and starts playing my Winamp playlist:

Code:

[Rainmeter]Update=1000AccurateText=1DynamicWindowSize=1[SomeMeter]Meter=StringSolidColor=0,255,0,255AntiAlias=1Text=Open Winamp PlaylistLeftMouseUpAction=["F:\Audios\Music\- Single -\Music.m3u8"]DynamicVariables=1
The key is what's in the LeftMouseUpAction option from the meter, which is basically the path to the playlist enclosed between quotes. Obviously, whatever playlist extension you "run" there should be associated with your WMP, but I believe this is by default since it's a MS program.
