Add preview on taskbar icon hover

Example:

This would be useful to creators and help them out alot.

Hmm, interesting. @staniel359 @gamersi what do you think?

My 2 cents, this’ll not be that good. We can’t implement the play button or next or previous. Because, you are not supposed to play different tracks from different tabs simultaneously.

It’ll be just the preview of the tab if this is implemented, the preview will only show what you’d see once you open the tab.

Hey @staniel359 @gamersi you forgot about this.

[gamersi]

Yeah with the tabs it will get pretty messy

[staniel359]

@sstvskids Hello. Thanks, added to planned.

@xyloflake @gamersi That's techically feasible: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/windows-taskbar#thumbnail-toolbars

Also keyboard player controls work now, you can check yourselves.

@staniel359 it's not about doable or not. It's about should you do it? IMHO it would make things messier.

[staniel359]

@xyloflake Why? It'll look like a Windows media player.

@xyloflake Why? It'll look like a Windows media player.

what if someone has multiple songs playing in different tabs?

[xyloflake]

@staniel359 sorry, I misunderstood this as implementing tab preview for muffon tabs, not windows tabs.

@gamersi

what if someone has multiple songs playing in different tabs?

Then active tab's audio will be controlled.

@staniel359 I and @gamersi have tried really hard but the method from the electron docs doesn't work. At all.

[staniel359]

@xyloflake Have you tested with a packaged app?

[xyloflake]

@staniel359 I think we didn't iirc. @gamersi can you try a packaged app?

[gamersi]

I tried

[xyloflake]

@staniel359 nope it 100% doesn't work.
