Hey, i'm new to forums in general and somewhat new to Rainmeter. i don't know much about editing codes to make stuff work.
Having that said i've used Rainmeter for a year now with diffrent visualizers and i'm extremely pleased with this piece of software, however i'm having a issue that i've had since day one.
My NowPlaying.dll file is either not working or i haven't 'activated it' somehow, what i'm trying to say is that i use Spotify as my daily driver for music, and i have never gotten the song title, album cover or artist name to work on Any spotify visualizers. it always says 'N/A'.
Now i've spent so many hours trying to understand what's wrong by Google and try & error, but so far the only thing i've found out is that the play/pause and Next/prev track buttons ALWAYS work, but the text and cover doesn't.
I checked the C:Program Files (x86)RainmeterPlugins and found both the Nowplaying.dll and the spotifyplugin.dll there so their not missing atleast.
Just to have it said, yes i have tried to change the player to spotify or Spotify in every visualizer :/
From what i read earlier, The new rainmeter version was doing something with the Nowplaying, but i didn't understand what they ment by it, but i updated to v4.0 Beta to see if that helped, but nope.
thank you in advance for any help you might give
PS: I added a screenshot of all my Visualizers to show the probem (track information)

Rainmeter plugin for Spotify Web API. This plugin uses the Spotify Web API to retrieve information about the current playback status of your Spotify account. Tested with: Windows 10 Home x64,.NET 4.6.1, Rainmeter 4.2. Create a Spotify App; Download the current Console package and extract it. Notice how the new variant replaces the old variant on the desktop. Variants share the same location and settings, and only one of a skin's variants may be loaded at one time. Rainmeter keeps track of a number of basic skin settings. These settings are created automatically for each skin.

Supported file types
Note: Some of your files may be protected in restricted formats. Install QuickTime on your computer to allow most of these tracks to be played on Spotify.
- .mp3

https://cleveryouth938.weebly.com/spotify-premium-apk-44-2.html. The iTunes lossless format (M4A) isn't supported.
If your file isn’t supported, we do our best to match it with songs from the Spotify catalog. The version we match with might differ from the original.
