Add basic controls taskbar icon

Open ffes opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Other music players (like Spotify) add basic Previous - Play/pause - Next controls to the taskbar icon. Would be great to have that as well.

I'm really really sorry for the late replay. It's been forever. It is now done. I really appreciate your input.

I reopened this issue because, as you may have noticed, I updated MPDCtrl from WPF to WinUI3. As a result, the taskbar media control is gone for now. It is because WinUI3 still lacks the feature (TaskbarItemInfo).

So, when Microsoft implements TaskbarItemInfo in WinUI3, I'll definitely add this feature to MPDCtrl. Until then, this issue remains open.

@Notam implemented this in my app, if anyone is curious on how to work around WinUI 3 not supporting this. They originally implemented the icons itself in XAML, I moved it to Win2D but if you don't want the dependency, their commit should show how to do so.
