Bug ID: 58104
           Summary: MPRIS support for programs with background media
                    playback
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wmp&wmvcore
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: aaronliu0130@gmail.com
      Distribution: ---
Windows has a feature where at least background media playback (through what
seems to be the
[Windows.Media.Playback.BackgroundMediaPlayer](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.media.playback.backgroundm...)
and
[Windows.Media.Playback.MediaPlayer](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.media.playback.mediaplayer)
APIs) sends information about the currently playing audio to the system, where
one may control the playback (through buttons or media keys. Play/Pause at
minimum) and often view the current track's Title, Artist, Album Art, and the
current progress, with "previous" and "next" keys also available.
The Linux equivalent for this is
[MPRIS](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/) (Media
Player Remote Interfacing Specification), and it would be nice if Wine would
gather the data send via these Windows APIs and send MPRIS information.
