Feature request: Add option to display Song information on playback state change

Open vvyushmanov opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

Hi!

I have a suggestion, coming from the good old days of me using foobar.

Could you please add an option to enable "Display song information on playback state change"? Meaning, display it briefly when:

  1. The song changes
  2. The playback is stopped
  3. The playback is resumed

Also, would probably be useful to have a slider to set the timeout of the pop-up.

Thanks!

Just adding my support for this feature request and a small UX detail.

Maybe redundant, sorry for that. Right now track info can either always be visible or completely hidden. It would be amazing to have a third mode:

  • When the track changes (and optionally when playback is resumed), the song info pops in
  • It stays visible for a configurable amount of time (for example 3–5 seconds)
  • Then it fades out and stays hidden until the next change

This keeps the overlay clean most of the time, while still giving viewers a quick "Now playing" hint on each new song.

UI wise, something like this would be perfect:

  • Show track info:
    • Always
    • Never
    • Only on song change (auto-hide)

Plus a small slider for the display duration.

Thanks a lot for considering it, and thanks again for Lofi, it is super useful!
