Better integration with macOS media control

eirk

Brief Summary
integrate with the system api for media controls better.

Images:
safari: seek +/-15s buttons, media image, timestamps

orion: seek +/-15s buttons, media image, timestamps

chrome: previous/next buttons, media image, timestamps

firefox: forward/backward buttons

Ask
at the very least, orion should add the media image.
i'm unsure whether its better to show the seek +/-15s or the previous/next buttons.
if possible, show both types of buttons?

eirk

example (looks bad, i know)
i'm not sure if the macos api allows this. even spotify and apple music only show a total of 3 buttons there, rather than 5

First - thank you for creating this issue from me i was busy for few day

Second- the example looks perfect and if example is not possible i recommand the chrome one as well can always fast/back using the slider so next/back seems the obvious choice IF ONLY THE EXAMPLE ONE DOES NOT WORK

Brief Summary

A Button from which we can control playing audio/video from any tab so u dont have to come back to one tab just to get to next song

Image/Video
:

Something like this and more like fast/back 10-15 secs too

BTW, this is also built-in to macOS, you can see it either in the menu bar or in the control center.

See here is the thing i did see this but built in one WITH ORION does not have any features in it

IN ORION-

IN CHROME -

Orion has Plus/Minus 15 Seconds
Chrome has Next/Back

Why not have something which can have both, If possible of course

Hope this hasn’t been forgotten. It seems like a relatively major feature that is basically essential for many web app use cases (YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Netflix, other media streaming services etc).

If you play any type of media in Orion, the now-playing in control center won't show the media's icon/image. It'll instead show an Orion icon, as seen in the attached image.

Media playing through Orion should show their icon/image when in the now-playing section in control center, like in Safari and other browsers. Safari example in the attached image.
