Quality of life

  • Keys on the widget: Space plays or pauses, the left and right arrows go to the previous and next song.
  • Searching the settings also matches a section's name, so "fullscreen" lists that whole section.
  • Ctrl+F in the settings window jumps to the search box.

Performance

  • Covers for songs playing outside Spotify no longer wait two seconds while Spotify is open.

Fixes

  • A cover or romanization that could not be fetched (offline, for example) is looked up again, instead of staying missing until a restart.
  • Lookups for lyrics and covers give up after a few seconds instead of hanging when a service does not answer.
  • Lyrics with a line timed for several moments (a repeated chorus) show it each time, without a stray timestamp in the text.
  • The sound bars go back to their idle animation when the audio device goes away, instead of freezing.
  • Signing in to Spotify a second time within five minutes is no longer cancelled by the first attempt's timeout.
  • Only Spotify itself can send songs, lyrics and tokens to Playback; a website open in a browser cannot.
  • The widget keeps running if its link to Windows' media controls fails to start, and tries again.
