Taskplay is a small utility which adds media playback controls to the Windows System Tray, originally created by evilpro

Info

Taskplay is written in C#

It is currently targeting .NET Framework 2.0 so it should be compatible with most Windows versions.

Notes

The program currently always starts with the Play/Pause icon on the "Click to Play" state. If your media is already playing when you run the program, it may not function as you expect.

>>> I will not fix this. <<<

I don't know how to hook into the Windows playing state information.
Even if I did, if you have two media sources open at once, one paused and one not, and you hit the Play/Pause icon, it will toggle between the two (as will all media control things, to my knowledge)
If you have 1 media source open and it's mismatched, pause it from the source and then use Taskplay to control it once it matches.

Nice-to-haves

  • Scroll over buttons to change volume (currently on Middle-Click actions)
  • Media play state detection
  • Theme-supported Settings
  • Options for showing/hiding icons
