Good plugin. But the description better to put the related dependency. This plugin does not work on its own. if anyone is looking for the dependency, it's here. https://github.com/keifufu/WebNowPlaying-Redux Secondly, would you mind including more than 1 example for comparason? It is hard to learn how to modify with only 1 example. At least, I am using the rain-meter adapter, but I don't see there is enough documentation for me to change the example layout to something like the demo on your youtube video. Though, it's a good job. Please gambatte.
