<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title></title></head><body><div>A big challenge here would be application buy-in as it would probably require updates to the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/audio#events">JavaScript Audio API</a> as most mainstream media players are web or electron based (looks to me like yandex-music is Electron). Of course there are native Linux players so assuming we only care about those users it's probably doable. Windows <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.media.systemmediatransportcontrolsbutton?view=winrt-26100">doesn't</a> support like/dislike in media controls, but macOS <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mediaplayer/mpremotecommandcenter#Rating-a-media-item">does</a>. Their API has some control over presentation as well, letting you pick between being able to dislike, like, or both. A Linux implementation would probably just expose capabilities and leave it up to the app. Support for this would probably look like adding `CanLike`, `CanDislike`, `Liked`, and `Disliked` properties as well as `Like` and `Dislike` methods.<br></div><div><br></div><div>On Fri, Aug 22, 2025, at 4:02 AM, Linux Admin wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div>Hi.
