Changelog
- Better support for podcasts with Spotify and other players!
- Spotify and Deezer will now show "Listening to a Podcast" instead of "Music" when listening to a podcast
- For Spotify specifically you have the option to only show podcasts in your status. That means you can use Music Presence together with the official Spotify status in order to share both your music and the podcasts you listen to!
- Pocket Casts now always shows "Listening to a Podcast" instead of "Music"
- Added individual settings per player. This includes both the possibility to override certain global settings for one specific player, as well as player-specific options that aren't available for other players
- This menu is called "Player" and should be pretty intuitive to use. You need to first play media in order to configure the player that is playing the media. You can still configure that player when it's paused until another player starts playing media. You will also get a visual clue in the "Appearance" menu, if any settings are overridden for the currently active player. To revert back to using the global setting either hold SHIFT while clicking the overridden setting or click "Reset all overridden settings"

- Paused media is now also shown for streaming services! There won't be any paused icon, but you can show a timer for how long media is paused. This might be further improved in the future
- Improved cropping of local cover images to remove unnecessary transparency. This has the added benefit that Spotify's album cover images do not appear in your status with the Spotify logo/brand at the bottom, which is redundant because the Spotify logo is already shown as a small icon.
