Py Now Playing
This project started as me wanting to create a Discord RPC that would take the currently playing audio from a specified application, and put that onto my Discord activity. I found some windows apis that allow me to do this, however they weren't intuitive to use. So, I started this.
How to use
# Initalize the Class
np = NowPlaying()
#initalize the mediamanager
np.initalize_mediamanager()
To get the active media apps, use get_active_app_user_model_ids().
Then you can use a filter or a loop to find the application you're looking for.
list(filter(lambda app: app['Name'] == 'App Name', now_playing))
Then use something like now_playing[0]['AppID'] to get the appid from the filter, and pass that into get_now_playing(app_user_model_id) to get the currently playing media for that application.
Other Notes
I've noticed that even when using Firefox and watching YouTube videos, that the playback_type is still MediaPlaybackType.MUSIC. I'll have to figure out why and if that changes at all.
Note that if you're testing the Amazon Music RPC I made in /tests, because Amazon has a skill issue Amazon Music doesn't always report the current song to Windows properly, so it may not appear correct.
