Description
A while back I made a notification to show the current song playing in Music Assistant and allow basic controls. I am pleased it attracted a little bit of attention but was far from perfect. I have now tried to fix some problems and recreate it as a blueprint - it is still incredibly basic given my complete lack of coding ability but hopefully others will find it to be of use!
Once a song starts playing, it should generate a silent notification with the current song artist/title, with previous, play/pause, next buttons. The notification will also disappear if the current player is turned off.
Future ideas?
I did try to allow easier selection of a mobile device via a drop down box, and include album art, but could not make either of these ideas successfully function.
I also do not have an Apple device to test on, so have no idea if it would work at all!
I also suspect the yaml could also be constructed in a much better fashion…
If anybody is interested enough to be able to suggest fixes or other features, I am all ears
