Need a label to display the track now playing

Which music player do we inspect? Currently I use Groove, but have access to Spotify as well

I will do some research on this issue 😄 What can we do with their Api etc.

After little reseach:

• Groove is closed? they moved everything to Spotify -> more info
• official C# package SpotifyAPI-NET current not support .NET Core :( but there are plans to extend it ;) pulls issues
• there are also alternatives with support .Net Core like FluentSpotifyAPI but it looks like one man army repos, so in my opinion we should wait with that feature until they port official Api package to .Net Core or
• if you know some others music providers, used by streamer we can start with they and later add Spotify support (youtube? or something other i don't really know what people use)

I am waiting for your opinions, Regards

After doing a little research myself it appears that Spotify does not support retrieving information about music playing from your local source only from their online catalog through their Web API. Since the StreamTools is published (eventually) to Azure this will not work. Instead we can either role our own app to run locally on the streaming machine or use an already built tool such as https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/spotify-stream-widget.664.
