Description of issue / Feature request

In the current latest version (3.2.1) of Aerial, only Spotify and Apple Music are supported for the playing status in the screensaver, but I use VLC media player because it supports FLAC files. Also, FYI, VLC media player also has a HTTP interface you can use to interact with it, so you can get song information with that, if it can be useful. Thanks.

hey @Vinchethescript

I'm looking for a universal way to do this but haven't found it yet. Right now I have to hard code if for everything and it will quickly become unmanageable if I add many. I'll keep you posted but I'd rather have a "full" solution for this than add support for every player.

Vinchethescript commented 1 year ago

Fair, a universal way is always better than a hard-coded way. I can only wait, since I don't really know Swift yet.

@Vinchethescript took a while but this is finally available in latest beta : https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial/releases/tag/v3.2.7beta2

It will show any app that playbacks audio in macOS now, including VLC !

Since the feature has been added, I'm closing this issue. Thank you!
