Why can't you come up with simple feature requests???? 😠
All your proposals are either way out of our scope or hard to implement with our current skills.
Why?
Why not propose simple things such as "uGH 😩, sLiDEr biG mEk iT sMol", "oOou 🤪, bUtTon wRonG mOvE iT"? Do you even understand that we are only a team of 2 spending our spare time keeping this project up?
This feature would literally take days to test and implement!
Ok let's be serious. Without enough user request I can't invest my time on this one. I do think your proposal is valid and would love to implement it.
I don't know if we can use live tiles from a packaged desktop app.
I must praise you for your proposals (and understanding our pain points). We currently have relatively important bugs and features to fix/implement. Let's wait for others' opinion. If most of the people want this feature, I'll sure do my best 😄.
Thanks!

Live tiles is one of the things I love about Windows.
Most of the UWP media players (such as Groove music, Spotify & etc) use the live tiles feature for showing their media playback status (provided that the user turned on live tiles feature for them).
However, some apps (such as browsers e.g. new MS Edge or Chrome) couldn't show live tiles because they're unpackaged.
So, my suggestion is we can use ModernFlyouts' tile as a central place for showing status of all the media playback sessions.
We can show a tile card for each session. The card will contain the source app's icon (optional) and name, the media's title, artist and thumbnail (optional) and a label to denote the playback status (playing, paused or stopped).
And there'll be a main card which will show a list of all the available media playback sources (i.e. their app icon).
The tile will cycle through each of the cards. It'll look modern and innovative. Some tablet mode users like me would find it beneficial (I currently have to pin the tiles of the media players I use mostly to check their playback status without opening them. But if ModernFlyouts had this feature, it would save a lot more space).
I do find ModernFlyouts very helpful. But most of the time I find pressing the media or volume keys just to show ModernFlyouts as annoying.
Pressing the keys either change the volume or the state of media sessions. Implementing my suggestion would be a really good idea.
I understand that this will be hard as hell. You can keep it as a vey very low priority.
But please you should manage to do this somehow 🙏🙏🙏.
