This version comes with a redesigned logo and tray icon and otherwise quite a few improvements and bug and stability fixes.
It is also the first version that will be installed automatically if automatic updates are enabled and you are using version 2.2.0.
Changelog
- Redesigned the Music Presence tray icon and logo.
The tray icon is now more defined and has better contrast. Sharing music in your status is now symbolized by a triangle in the bottom right corner of the tray icon, with the app logo remaining to be recognizable and easily identifiable.- The icon color automatically adapts to the system theme (changes to either black or white)
- You can read more about this here
- Added the option to hide the player logo for media players that are not streaming services. You can hide it for e.g. foobar2000 or MusicBee, but not players like TIDAL, Spotify or Apple Music at the moment
- Improvements and bug fixes for cover images from media players ("use cover images from media players")
- The cover image from the media player is now also used when Music Presence reconnects to the proxy server after a disconnect or when it takes longer to connect than the initial timeout. This should help with unstable or slow internet connections
- Fixed Discord account switching or Discord restarts not causing the app to disconnect from the proxy server and instead entering an idle disconnect/reconnect loop and wrongfully reusing proxy links that aren't valid anymore
- When the proxy client disconnects the status is updated to use a different cover image (if available) so that it does not show nothing
- When there is no correct cover image URL from an API or the proxy, the status falls back to a guessed cover image (if available), so that there is at least something to show
- Increased the idle timeout to 60 seconds (from 30 seconds) to accomodate for bad internet connections and give enough time to reconnect to the proxy server, if needed
- Increased the interval at which the app attempts to reconnect to the proxy server, in case the client disconnects or fails to connect
- When starting Music Presence for the first time the application now shows a small popup instead of a notification to inform you that it sits in the tray menu. First-time users should now have an easier time finding the app.
- Left-clicking on the tray icon now opens the tray menu as well. Previously the tray menu could only be opened by right-clicking it (Windows)
- Fixed system theme changes not being reflected properly in the app (not detected reliably in version 2.1.3 and prior, temporarily disabled in version 2.2.0). Now all colours and icons in the tray menu are properly updated, when you change your system theme
- When installing this update from within the app, either via automatic updates or by manually clicking install, the start menu shortcut on Windows should be updated automatically to reflect the app icon change
