macOS Sequoia 15.4 beta
BTT cannot detect the media currently playing on the system.
I think this is is still true:
This happened to my Mac several days ago (after I updated my Mac to the latest Develop Beta version, maybe). The Now Playing widget (Touch Bar) and conditional group just suddenly don't work. It seems that my BTT cant detect media playing in any situation.
ah, maybe due to 15.4 beta ? Possibly apple has changed or blocked this, I‘ll need to check once I upgrade to 15.4
Very likely. I’m also using another third-party media control software, and it recently stopped being able to recognize the media playing on the system. Apple may have made it more difficult to access certain system information.
I have just implemented some workarounds in BTT 5.279 alpha (uploading). Would be great if you could check whether this works for you. It is much more complicated than before and currently doesn't support all apps but I'll add support for more in the next days.
Hey Andreas, will this work for browsers?
I added basic support for browsers, have only tested on safari so far
I guess that these workarounds should not affect if macOS < 15.4, right?
correct
