Scrobbling and Rich Presence not working/updating when minimizing app
Version Info v1.4.9. Region: FR
Describe the bug
I use RBTray to force a "Minimize to Tray" behavior on Apple Music because I just can't stand it not having this option despite ITunes having it at the time. But, when doing this, both Rich Presence and LastFM scrobbling don't update. They keep sticking to the last "registered" song, as if I was listening to it in a loop.
I'm not sure how AM differs from iTunes on Windows, but if iTunes was able to pick up which song was currently playing when minimized (one could check this by right-clicking the tray icon), maybe this is still possible?
Thanks!
I think this project is no longer being updated, but it also does not work when the AM app is open in a different virtual desktop, and Rich Presence won't resume until you focus the AM app again after switching desktops.

When you force the Apple Music app into the tray, the window is no longer visible to AMWin-RP. So the application can't get updates on the currently played song.
RBTray looks like it does something hacky to the window that stops it being recognised by other APIs. You probably can't work around this without modifying the Apple Music application to allow it to communicate directly.
