I would like to receive information about the current game track in the Microsoft Groove application in my own application. I'm talking about Groove APP, not REST Api.
My first approach was to try to get Windows.Media.Playback.BackgroundMediaPlayer(now obsolete) information from my own process (application). Learn more about Windows.Media.Playback.BackgroundMediaPlayerin the Documentation Dev Center
The idea was to get information from BackgroundMediaPlayer.Current, but it only works in the same process. And again, this is deprecated anyway, now MS recommends using the class Windows.Media.Playback.MediaPlayer, but it is also only available in the same process that uses MediaPlayer.
The second approach is to get information from System Transport Transport Controls .
For those who are not familiar with SMTC, here's what I'm talking about (a small pop-up window when you skip / play / pause from the keyboard):
The article on SMTC above shows how to use these controls in your application, what I want to do is basically the exact opposite.
Does anyone have another approach that you think might work?

So, I found out that this is possible using my own interface ISystemMediaTransportControlsInterop:

more precisely the method ISystemMediaTransportControlsInterop::GetForWindow:
