Integration of Apple‘ NowPlaying API

Answered
julian.bamberg
It would be very convenient to Control the music Player if the „nowPlaying“ API on Apple devices will be integrated as it instantly enables the following Features: * Volume controlled by the Volume Up/Down-Buttons on the Device (e.g. iPhone). * the Little Widget on the Lockscreen with current Track and Instant pausing * Music control in the Control-Center in the Upper Right * „now playing“ Screen on the Apple Watch can control the music (and gets instantly activated if enabled). * on iPhone 14 Pro: use of the „Dynamic Island“ with current Track. I am beware of the fact, That the App doesn‘t generate Sound on the iPhone itself, but I think there are so many handy Features That the API should be integreated. UX for most Apple Users would possibly be increased much.. Please consider it, thanks! Regards, Julian

    Hi Julian

    Please see https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360013227054 for using Apple AirPlay with your BluOS Player and how those features are already enabled.

    Hi Tony,

    thanks for the fast reply!

    Unfortunately you just replied with a Workaround, but not a solution.
    Because you need a Player App then, but cannot use the Blusound connection to Streaming Services. For explanation: there is a difference whether I play music in the Tidal App and stream it via AirPlay to the BluOS Player or I play Music through the BluOS App directly on the Player. The former needs a specific Player-App, the latter not.
    The second reason That it is no actual Solution is That AirPlay cuts the quality.

    I Hope, you understand These differences and therefore consider implementation.

    Regards, Julian

    Hi Julian

    Thanks for the feedback - however, this is not a workaround but Apple's desired API for BluOS.

    If you are interested in TIDAL being controlled by your iPhone consider TIDAL Connect; https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360056154514
