If it is using some resources, you might want to pack the config and upload the package. For further help, for first please post the code of your skin here. So, no, it's not so easy to rewrite the code. Secondly, even the above issue is not a problem here, some of the NowPlaying measures most probably are used to return information which are not supported by the MediaPlayer plugin. For first the NowPlaying measures (doesn't matter if they have been written as Plugin or directly as NowPlaying measures), should have a parent - child structure (at least this is the most usual procedure with these measures), which if I'm correct, is not supported by the MediaPlayer plugin. However even if this is right, it's not quite so easy as rewriting the Plugin options with MediaPlayer, not mentioning the case in which those measures are written not as Plugin, but as NowPlaying measures (however I doubt this is the case). I assume you skin is an older one, having the NowPlaying measures written as Plugin measures.

If you don't really know how to do this, please let us know, for further help.īalala wrote: ↑ February 17th, 2023, 3:09 pm If you are interested, you can give a try to this plugin. If it can, you can use the mentioned plugin to get the skin working, at least partially (unfortunately the plugin can't return every information which can be accessed by the NowPlaying measures, but it can at least access the most important information, like title and artist). It can get the track info and can control any media player that shows up in the volume notification in Windows 10. A while ago a Media Player Plugin has been released by i2002. Personally can't really help you with this, because I'm still on Windows 10 and WMP 12, which is perfectly compatible with the NowPlaying measures (I assume your skin which doesn't work with the new WMP, uses NowPlaying measures), but can make a recommendation. The skin makes you select which media player you use. I just want to know how to make the skin use the new WMP. So of course now my media player skin doesn't work with the new WMP and instead only functions with Windows Media Player Legacy(the old WMP). ![]() I'm currently using Windows 11 and it has a new Windows Media Player.

Skin technology is very different from other kinds of programming essentially you will be mixing programming and art in equal parts. Not just where the knobs are and what they look like, but what they do, given the limits of the underlying Windows Media Player core technology. Using skins, you can change not only the way Windows Media Player looks, but how it functions. Skins are sets of scripts, art, media, and text files that can be combined to create a new appearance for Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player provides a programming platform to create custom skins.
