I have this sorta working. Yes, following media keys make intuitive sense. If they are off, then it would default to the local player if enabled the browser player otherwise. I decided to add the player name to the hint/hover popup, and now I'm wondering if it might make even more sense to just show the player in the taskbar button rather than the track title. Still thinking about that. Yes, when you close the main window (when Allow Run in Background is enabled), the taskbar icon no longer exists. But minimizing to the taskbar still keeps the taskbar alive. This is also the case when you open the minibrowser (since it closes the main window). So progress metering does not work for the minibrowser (at least not yet). Right now, I don't have a good way to detect when the player is changed when using Material Skin, so I have to poll and I would rather avoid that. With the default skin, I get an event that fires from the browser when a cookie changes, but Material Skin does not use cookies and now event fires that tells me the player selection has changed. I'll keep thinking/working on it.
