Gnometer, a skin for Rainmeter, has been out for around 3 years now and it has a few outdated settings. So far, I have noticed that the Windows Media Player settings for the Media Player gnometer does not work at all. A quick search through the links on the skin and google will lead you to this new plugin called NowPlaying.

The changes to make it work are simple but they are not easy to find as they are scattered through a few posts on the rainmeter forums.

Below, the fully working settings.ini file.
