I tried to develop / extend a Rainmeter skin (RoundSound) so that it can show Now Playing (Title, Artist, Artwork etc).
I found it very, very troublesome. I searched the api doc and found "/Sessions" is the rightful endpoint. But the JSON result it returns is a monster... I added "activeWithinSeconds=20" trying to "shorten" the output, but it still is not something I am looking for.
Am I looking at the wrong endpoint? Or shall we really implement a simpler "/NowPlaying" endpoint so that the result is much shorter, simpler, and Rainmeter (and possibly other skins/gadgets) can really use the JSON?
