AutoHush 0.8.0

Added

• Safari web apps can be your music player. Any website you add to the
  Dock from Safari (File → Add to Dock), such as YouTube Music, Amazon Music
  or Spotify's web player, is offered under Safari Web Apps in the menu,
  Settings and the welcome window. They're marked Experimental: every
  website works differently, so a web app may not pause or resume as
  expected, as the heading and the windows that add and learn one say.
  • AutoHush presses the site's own Play/Pause button, so the site stays in
    step. It learns which button that is: when you choose a web app, a
    window asks you to play something in it, then pause it, and closes once
    it has seen both. A tip under each step says how: log in first if the
    site asks, let the music itself play for 5 to 10 seconds (ads don't
    count), then wait for the tick. The same steps show in the menu and in
    Settings until then. It presses nothing before it has learned.
  • Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and Deezer have been tested: their
    web apps are offered first, under the site's name. Any other web app
    comes after them, marked Untested, its page title without the
    slogan after " | " or a dash.
  • It works with the window visible, minimized or on another Space, and
    with more than one window: it follows the one that plays. It needs the
    Accessibility permission, and pauses without fading.
  • When a site won't pause, AutoHush mutes the web app instead: during an
    ad whose button is disabled, or still reads "Play" as on YouTube Music,
    or when a press doesn't take. As soon as the site can be paused (the ad
    is over and the music plays), AutoHush pauses it and unmutes it, so the
    music goes on from there afterwards. A web app that pauses is never
    muted, and none is muted in AntiDot mode.
  • If a site changes so that its button can't be found for a minute,
    AutoHush asks to learn it again, and keeps both layouts.
  • Settings → Diagnostics shows whether the button has been learned and
    whether windows on other Spaces can be reached.
• Add a Web App… makes a website your music player from its address:
  in the menu's players, Settings (the player pop-up's last item) and the
  welcome window. Paste the address; AutoHush checks that the site
  answers, adds it to the Dock with Safari's own Add to Dock, chooses it,
  opens it and learns its controls, all in one window. Cancel stops it
  before anything is added; once added, the Safari tab it opened is closed.
  • The tested sites are offered with a download symbol until you add them:
    choosing one opens the window with its address filled in.
• Fades can be turned off with a switch in Settings → Advanced, without
  moving their sliders to 0: the music then pauses and resumes at once. The
  sliders show only while it's on, and Diagnostics says "Off".

Fixed

• A paused app no longer counts as playing just because its sound is
  still open, while your music isn't playing. AutoHush only measures how
  loud apps are while it matters, and otherwise counted any open sound as
  playing: VLC, for one, keeps its sound open about a minute after you pause
  it. Now an app that tells macOS when it plays (VLC does) counts as paused
  once it stops telling, as in AntiDot mode.
• Each Safari web app is told apart. Their sound was all put down to
  one "Web App", so Settings → Apps showed a single entry for them; each
  now shows under its own name.
• Music AutoHush paused stays paused after the Mac sleeps, as music
  players keep it after a sleep. Other apps' sound stops as the Mac falls
  asleep, and AutoHush took that for them ending: it tried to resume the
  music while the Mac slept, which a web app's page couldn't follow, and
  the music didn't come back. Now nothing is paused or resumed while the
  Mac sleeps.
• A resume that doesn't take is tried again, twice, a second apart,
  as when the player doesn't answer.
• A permission taken away while AutoHush runs is noticed. If you
  turned off its Automation or Accessibility access in System Settings,
  AutoHush stopped pausing your music without a word, its menu still
  saying "Not playing". Now it checks again when another app starts
  playing or you open the menu, asks for the permission as it does at
  launch, and carries on by itself once you allow it again.
• After you allow audio recording, the menu offers Reopen AutoHush.
  macOS applies that permission only once AutoHush is opened again; until
  then the menu kept asking for it, as if you hadn't allowed it.
• Command-line players pause the music too. Sound from a program run
  in Terminal, such as afplay, mpv or ffplay, was never counted, since it
  has no app of its own. It now counts as the app that started it, e.g.
  Terminal, and can be ignored like any app.
