Troubleshooting

Common errors

The visualizer bars are cut off on the top.

Lower the sensitivity in the settings window and if that doesn't work lower the volume of Rainmeter in Windows.

The visualizer is showing all sounds from the computer, i only want it from my media player.

Due to limitations of Rainmeter and the plugin used for the visualization the complete audio output of your system will be shown on the visualizer. This is something I can’t fix.

However there is a option to hide the skin while no media player is running, so it will not show up until it's running.

Media players

foobar2000 is not working.

Download and install the foo_cad plugin found here: http://poiru.github.io/foo-cad/

Spotify is not working.

Uninstall and reinstall Spotify, launch as administrator. Reinstall the skin and check if the newest SpotifyPlugin is installed on your system.

If you are using AVG, please disable Link scanner as shown in the gif below:

If the problems still persist, open an issue.

Google Play Music Desktop Player is not working (properly).

Open the player, click on the menu in the top-left corner and open the Desktop Settings. Then enable the Playback API and restart the player. You may be asked to add an exception to your firewall. After that a pop-up should show up in Rainmeter and the player. It should display a 4-digit code which you should input in Rainmeter and if it's correct the error popup should close itself.

MusicBee is not working.

Open the MusicBee settings (Edit -> Preferences), click on Plugins in the menu and enable the CD Art Display plugin.
