Plugin version #9

First of all, thanks for doing this integration! This is the only attempt i find for bridging WMP and Discord, what is odd because WMP already have an historic of integrating with messengers (MSN/WLM was similar in concept).

BTW, althrough the idea is very much needed, i feel that making this a proper plugin instead of a separate application that needs to be opened manually by the user and somewhat "hooks" into WMP to get the info to relay to Discord isnt much "ergonomic" (to lack a better word to put) UI-wise, so maybe why not make this as a plugin instead?

There is still some documentation in Microsoft website about how to code a plugin, and i think plugins auto-start with WMP when it opens, so it would easy things for the user. Plus the console thing will show up that can make us accidentally killing the whole integration.

Well the console should show up only when you enable the checkbox in settings, it shouldn't normally show

And I will try looking into it
