I am creating a MacOS media player in Python (version 3.10) and want to connect it to the MacOS "Now Playing" status.

I have worked with PyObjC a bit in order to listen for media key events, but have not been able to connect to the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter interface. According to the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter documentation I need access to a shared instance via the default() method, however the method MediaPlayer.MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default() does not exist.

Does anyone have a starting point for Now Playing functionality via PyObjC?

CodePudding user response：

The factory method for getting the default center is named “defaultCenter” in Objective-C, and that’s the name you can use in Python as well.
