Not working on Apple Music

[chanboosted]

Titles work great when music is being played from the library or playlists, but anything played through Apple Music's Listen Now and Browse do not show up. This includes music being searched up through Apple Music. Only live Radios show up, custom radios do not show up.

Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for your feedback. Out of curiosity are you running macOS Big Sur? Because I've noticed this to be the case once I updated. From poking around, it looks like a limitation on Apple's end. It doesn't seem to provide information about the tracks playing as part of Listen Now and Browse playlists or songs being searched for in general. I'll keep trying to find a fix/workaround, but it may take some time.

I am running Big Sur. Ive only used PlayStatus after upgrading to Big Sur so I can't give any feedback for Catalina sorry.

If I can also provide a separate suggestion, could you keep showing the track title, artist, and album artwork even if the track is paused, instead of the black "No Music Playing"?

Thanks for the update, looking forward to the progress!

Thanks @chanboosted! So yes, turns out it is a Big Sur issue. The app works just fine on Catalina and below. Ahh okay I see, let me play around with that idea a little bit, maybe even offer the user an option.

Keep you posted!

Hey @chanboosted! I have incorporated your request and have it working but I'm holding off from releasing it just yet in case apple does release a Big Sur update soon that fixes the issue or makes it worse. If no update is pushed out from their end in the next month, I'll go-ahead and release this version

@chanboosted I've just pushed v2.0.3 that adds your feature. Let me know what you think of it. Unfortunately Apple has not fixed the other bug in its newest 11.1 Big Sur release.

Thanks for implementing the feature! No worries with the other bug, looking forward to seeing the progress. Ill keep you update if I run into any more issues!
