Detect currently playing iTunes, Spotify, and Youtube(Safari)

Setup/Preset Sharing
1

I was messing around trying to come up with a few things and thought id share this. It only works with Safari, and I don't plan on making updates for it. Although if anyone knows how to make it work for Netflix I'd appreciate the help. Enjoy!

if application "iTunes" is running then
	tell application "iTunes"
		if player state is playing then
			return "iTunes open and Playing || doesnt matter if anything else is open"
		else if application "Spotify" is running then
			tell application "Spotify"
				if player state is playing then
					return "iTunes open not playing || Spotify open and playing || doesnt matter if anything else is open"
				else if application "Safari" is running then
					tell application "Safari"
						try
							repeat with t in tabs of windows
								tell t
									try
										if URL contains "https://www.youtube.com/watch" then
											tell application "Safari" to tell front window to tell ¬
												(first tab whose URL contains "youtube.com/watch?v=") to ¬
												set playPause to do JavaScript [¬
													"document", ¬
													".querySelectorAll('div[class*=\"-mode\"]')[0]", ¬
													".className", ¬
													".match(/(playing|paused|ended)-mode/)[1]"] ¬
													as text
											if playPause contains "play" then
												return "iTunes open not playing || Spotify open not playing || YouTube open and playing"
											else if playPause contains "pause" then
												return "iTunes open not playing || Spotify open not playing || YouTube open and paused"
											else
												return "iTunes open not playing || Spotify open not playing || Youtube not playing"
											end if
										else
											return "iTunes open not playing || Spotify open not playing || Safari open to different page"
										end if
									end try
								end tell

This looks pretty neat! Is there any way you can paste it in AppleScript format? For some reason it won't automatically correct the format how it is pasted here.

@Lucas_McDonald use three ` at the beginning and at the end of the script to wrap code

e.g.
` ``AppleScript
tell application "test"
end tell
```

(without the space I inserted at the beginning)

Sorry about that. I have updated the post in AppleScript format.

I'm no coder, but I'm wondering why the youtube one won't work for other browsers, like chrome?

7

This script is calling for the application safari. It does not support chrome

Yea, but I tried changing the code (i understand very little javascript), to support chrome. I can get it to click stuff on youtube, but can't seem to get the duration and stuff
