[Feature Request] Support for WebNowPlaying

[SammCheese]

SUMMARY

Add Support for WebNowPlaying as an Alternative to Spotify Premium (like AppleScript).

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Request

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Feature would be the Windows equivalent of the Applescript controls.
Using a Websocket to create a Server that Redirects commands onto your Local Spotify Installation of Spicetify with WebNowPlaying > https://github.com/khanhas/spicetify-cli

I believe that it could very well be possible as it has been done before here

I tried myself a little on it, unfortunately, it doesnt seem to be possible to play songs via WNP. Though ive managed to get the controls working

ill try to get the Links working by using URIs

Wow, Thank you for the updates and looking into this. I've looked into Spicetify and found it may not be a clean solution to include into the current bundle but what you mentioned in the last post is exactly what will work. Let me know how that proceeds. We can build an in-memory queue of songs based on the playlist and play each one via the URIs as you mentioned. I was looking to test that later today as well. Great find, thank you!

[SammCheese]

That Spicetify may not be a clean solution is Understandable. Using URIs however could very well work

import * as vscode from 'vscode';

vscode.env.openExternal(vscode.Uri.parse(param));

Might be viable as a quick and dirty hack to get that working
