Feature Request: Have all instances of the browser's global media control sessions show up separately in the flyout

Open Amit-Shan opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Have all instances of global media control sessions running in the browser show up separately in the flyout instead of just dedicating one session to the entire browser. For instance, if two tabs are running a YouTube video and a Spotify song, show both of them in the flyout. Right now, the flyout gets confused and alternates between them if both is playing audio.

It currently shows the active tab. This is a good idea.

That's out of our hands to be honest.

This is up to the browser, they don't provide us this ability. They only show the active tab's media info.

We can't do anything. It's the browser's fault not us.

However, I'm planning on creating a browser extension to do this 😉 (iff possible)

@Cyberdroid1,

Whoa, that's a L A T E reply!

I told you about my v0.10 plans in which I mentioned about making a Chromium extension as a workaround for this bug on Telegram.

Remember? That's why I tagged you!

The solutions to this would be to either:

  • Addition of this feature to chromium https://crbug.com/1153108
  • make a chromium extension
  • Add support for an existing Extension #711, such as WebNowPlaying Companion
