There is also a generic support you can turn on in the settings that will try to add support for unknown websites.

TIFFANY CHUANG 2024-12-16: When using the web version of Apple Music, the song titles are displayed correctly. However, the controls, such as play, pause, previous, and next, do not work. Additionally, the song titles sometimes stop displaying unexpectedly.

Kevin Chan 2023-06-26: Good plugin. But the description better to put the related dependency. This plugin does not work on its own. if anyone is looking for the dependency, it's here. https://github.com/keifufu/WebNowPlaying-Redux Secondly, would you mind including more than 1 example for comparason? It is hard to learn how to modify with only 1 example. At least, I am using the rain-meter adapter, but I don't see there is enough documentation for me to change the example layout to something like the demo on your youtube video. Though, it's a good job. Please gambatte.

Ian Pollard 2022-08-28: Constantly breaks with Spicetify and doesn't fetch album or song information. Works fine consistently with Youtube but that's not what I need it for.

Yevhenii Kudelia 2020-09-17: I think it's clashes with newly enforced Chrome "Control your music videos and more" feature. Nevermind. It is working again.

Levi Richardson 2020-09-16: Supports Google Play Music but with Google Play Music sunsetting and moving all users to YouTube Music, I have found that this does NOT support YouTube Music.
