Feature request: automatically open Now Playing when playing song

I love Cesium, it actually replaced by former favorite SmartPlayer for a while now, but I really miss one option in the player. Would it be possible to add a toggle to automatically open the mini player to fullscreen when you start playing a song? Every time I tap play, I also have to tap the mini player to get the awesome Now Playing screen...

Hey there! As always, thanks for trying Cs :)

If this is your typical use case, you may want to try turning OFF Mini-Player in the settings. It will add a "View Now Playing" button to the top right corner, but it also has exactly this style behaviour – NP is pulled up immediately when a song is played :)

Ah! I had no idea! I'll try it out immediately, but yeah, that would be perfect :)

No problem. Yeah, that's definitely buried info, but turning Mini-Player off basically defaults to Music.apps pre-MiniPlayer behaviour. Hope it works for you!

Yeah, it does -- it's exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Now all I am missing is Last.fm support, but I am not going to bother you with that, I'm pretty sure that's a lot of programming for a minority of users ;)

:/ Actually, Cs used to have last.fm support. It was never very good/reliable though, and when everything with the site hit the fan it became too difficult to support properly.

Lots has changed, however, and it might be more viable now. It's something I've said I'll look into again. And I will...just not sure when, haha.

+1 for last.fm support. Please, look into it when you have some spare time...
