This update fixes compatibility issues for the now playing feature on macOS 15.4. macOS 15.4 has restricted some APIs that MediaMate relied on for the now playing feature, resulting in the feature not working anymore. This new update uses another API to restore the functionality for Apple Music and Spotify. Support for other apps can be added later, but is not guaranteed, as not all apps support being controlled by another app. I'm also looking into restoring the old functionality.

New Features

• Added an option to map the keyboard media keys exclusively to Apple Music and / or Spotify, instead of the last played app. For example, if you're listening to music and start watching a Youtube video, the keyboard controls will always control the music instead of switching over to controlling the Youtube video. Not all keyboards may be supported.

Bugfixes

• Fixed now playing feature on macOS 15.4

Removed Features

• The "Allowed apps" section has been removed, as it's not relevant for the new API.

• Fixed an issue where the settings could crash when opening the styles tab on recent macOS versions

Bugfixes

• Fixed a regression where the system HUDs would be shown on all screens.
