Fix --now-playing & Browser flag clarification
Discussed in https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/discussions/1325
--now-playing is not working
When a Web-Wallpaper tries to use the --now-playing flag the application throws out an error that this startup flag is not supported. Since I couldn't get past this first step, I can't confirm if the rest of this feature works.
Flag clarifications
Clarification on the Wiki how to chain startup flags together would also be appreciated. E.g. when the --system-information flag is set, the --system-audio flag is automatically set too. Would this mean, --system-information should also contain --now-playing? Any time I tried chaining --system-audio and --system-information together using a space or comma, it threw out a error. Would be nice to have some information in the wiki on how to use multiple flags together or which flags contain other flags behind the scenes.

Can you show your LivelyInfo file and screenshot of this error?
--now-playing is not implemented yet as stated in the wiki.
when the --system-information flag is set, the --system-audio flag is automatically set too.
I believe its because your wallpaper LivelyInfo Type is set to web-audio (this is still retained for compatibility reasons) even though the now recommended way to do it is using --system-audio flag.

Sure! Here's the Error displayed when using --now-playing:
And here's the error for using multiple flags:
Btw, I've glanced through the Wiki quickly again and I didn't find any information about LivelyInfo Types. Did I miss it somewhere? I think I myself just looked at various other Wallpapers and copied them, which is why I ended up with Type: 2. Is there a definition for this in the Wiki? Always good to read up on stuff and a Wiki is more accessible than going through Issues or Code.

Type is used internally by Lively and users don't have to know about it.

Since Wallpaper creators might have to use it, I still find it interesting. When I leave out the Type field, my Audio visualizer stops. If multiple flags would work for me, I see no problem in not having types documented. But without multi-tags it's problematic.
In fact, I just tried using only the --system-audio tag alone and I got an error:

In fact, I just tried using only the --system-audio tag alone and I got an error:
Lively don't know what type of wallpaper it is without 'Type' Make it just web (0): https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/blob/bed8f4df3601f7d241305241f5d818af5b3f6a28/src/Lively/Lively.Common/Enums.cs#L8-L39
Isn't web Type 1? Type 0 Should just be Application.
Anyway, I tested it again with Type 0 and --system-audio and I can't even select the correct Background (Elito's Cozy Place).
With Type 1, it throws the same error again.
Thanks roxxel, hope it works once released, will complain here if it doesn't haha!
