Been using this for ages and now it no longer seems to be working when the window is hidden using the Win+alt+o: Show Spotify shortcut.
I assume this is due to some Spotify change, but does anyone else have it still working or know what is necessary to resolve it? I've not been able to figure it out so far.

I have already been disappointed many times in the player itself and in the code, because initially everything worked, but then it stopped.
I experimented as much as I could and realized that the code still works, but on one condition: if you delete the player settings every time and log in again every time you start it. Only then does everything work. When you run it again without deleting the settings, nothing works again
This works great!!! Been finding a solution to this. Thanks!
