Would love it for windows aswell if you could do it. The other options for windows are buggy, not updated, not working and dont have cover art.

Sure, I've been thinning of making a separate branch for Windows. As it is currently implemented that's not easy to do, since plugin is compiled as a C plugin for mpv, which is only supported on Linux.

The best way to do this is to abstract mpv event observing and requests (OSD for example) and implement them separately for Linux as a C plugin and Windows as a subprocess of Lua script, which would be a middle man in communicating.

If anyone else needs Windows support, react or comment. The more people want this feature, the sooner I will work on it.
