You need to have "Show what I'm listening to" enabled, as well as the script correctly set up. As mentioned, in the script options, click the "PSM" tab and make sure that's checked off. Check under the "Display Picture" tab, that's where you can set it up to use the cover art as your Dispaly picture. I do believe though that it uses the "folder.jpg" from the folder the song is in to find the cover art, otherwise it searches... amazon?... for the cover.
Now if you're using WLM2009, then that could be where the problem is. A lot has changed in WLM2009, and one of the things that has changed has broken the scripts ability to update the PSM, so you're left seeing " - ". The script author has said he was working on a fix, but there's still no sign of another version from him. Another script has offered a work around, but it comes with it's flaws too.
For those wanting a quick fix for WLM9, change line 237 of main.js to:
Code: Select all
setNowPlaying(true, "Music", "{0} - {1}", player.CurrentTrack().Title, player.CurrentTrack().Artist);
Note that this doesn't allow for custom formatting and just displays the default following:
Title - Artist
You can switch "player.CurrentTrack().Title" & "player.CurrentTrack().Artist" around to get the "Artist - Title" display (which I prefer). However like mentioned, this is a set format, so you won't have "Now Playing: " or the Album or anything else in your PSM. Another downfall is the Playing/Paused/Stopped state doesn't work anymore and thus the PSM will display the song you have "playing" in MediaMonkey, even if you pause it for hours or even if you choose to stop it. *Shrugs*
