elapsedTime does not update until media is paused and unpaused. #6

The terminal output below is the result of running nowplaying-cli get elapsedTime every 5-10 of seconds. The elapsedTime seems to get stuck where the media playback state last changed. The media was paused and unpaused between the third and fourth command below, which is where the elapsed time updates and then remains stuck at the new value.

Interesting, I'm getting updates when played/paused as you are, and also sometimes randomly (rarely) in 1.5 sec / 3 sec increments. My best guess is this is a value updated by Spotify (or whatever media app is playing).
