Media Player FAQs

General

Why does player progress update slowly / does not return progress?

  • The issue is caused by the media player (Spotify / browser) itself, and is not a problem with the module.

  • This mostly happens with modern method as Windows often doesn't request the current position

  • You can fix this by using Auto method for your modules instead (See below)

Setting up media players

Default settings

There is no setup needed by default. Everything should work out of the box

Auto method

Users can choose to use Auto method to fully support certain media players.

  • Spotify: Requires Spicetify

  • Web browsers (Youtube / Soundcloud etc.): Requires WebNowPlaying companion

  • MusicBee: Turn on this option in MusicBee settings

  • Foobar: Install the foo_cad plugin for foobar

Spotify with Modern method

Make sure this option is turned on in Spotify's settings. (Default is on)
