**TrackView** is a clean and polished Cactus addon for the Minecraft client. It adds a native-feeling **Now Playing** HUD element that displays media information from your operating system, including Spotify, browser media sessions, and other supported media providers.<\/p>\n
Unlike simple overlay mods, TrackView is built directly as a Cactus HUD element. This means it can be positioned, resized, and configured inside the Cactus HUD editor like your other HUD components.<\/p>\n
TrackView focuses on doing one thing well: showing what is currently playing without getting in the way of the game.<\/p>\n

## \ud83d\udce5 Installation Guide<\/p>\n
TrackView requires **Fabric Loader** and **Cactus**.<\/p>\n
Once you have installed Fabric Loader, install Cactus and place the TrackView `.jar` file into your `mods` folder like any other Fabric mod.<\/p>\n
After launching Minecraft, open the Cactus HUD editor and add the **Track View** element to your HUD.<\/p>\n
If the mod is installed correctly, Track View will appear as an available HUD element in Cactus.<\/p>\n

## \u2728 Features<\/p>\n
TrackView adds a configurable media HUD with support for:<\/p>\n
– Current track title
\n– Artist name
\n– Source application
\n– Playback state indicator
\n– Album art or media thumbnail
\n– Optional progress bar
\n– Resizable HUD layout
\n– Adjustable image size
\n– Compact mode
\n– Fallback display when no media session is active <\/p>\n
Album art and thumbnails are decoded asynchronously and cached, helping the HUD stay smooth while media information changes.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \u2699\ufe0f Configuration<\/p>\n
TrackView can be configured directly through the Cactus HUD editor.<\/p>\n
Available options include:<\/p>\n
– **Show Thumbnail**
\n Shows or hides album art and media thumbnails.<\/p>\n
– **Image Size**
\n Changes the size of the thumbnail.<\/p>\n
– **Show Source App**
\n Shows the application providing the media session.<\/p>\n
– **Show Progress Bar**

– **Hide Without Media**

## \u2705 Compatibility<\/p>\n
TrackView is a client-side Cactus addon.<\/p>\n
It does not change gameplay, does not affect multiplayer behavior, and does not provide any competitive advantage. It only displays media-session information that is already available locally on your system.<\/p>\n
TrackView is intended for use with:<\/p>\n
– Minecraft
\n– Fabric Loader
\n– Java
\n– Cactus <\/p>\n
Exact supported versions are listed on the version page.<\/p>\n
Media information depends on your operating system and the media player you are using. Some players, browser tabs, or websites may not expose full metadata, artwork, duration, or playback progress.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd12 Privacy<\/p>\n
TrackView reads locally available media-session information from your operating system.<\/p>\n
TrackView does not upload track data, media metadata, artwork, or usage information to any external server.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udc1b How to Report Issues<\/p>\n
Please use the issue tracker linked at the top of the page to report bugs, crashes, or incorrect behavior.<\/p>\n
When reporting an issue, include:<\/p>\n
– Minecraft version
\n– Fabric Loader version
\n– Cactus version
\n– TrackView version
\n– Operating system
\n– Media player or browser being used
\n– Relevant crash reports or log files <\/p>\n
This makes it easier to reproduce and fix the problem.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
## \u2753 Notes<\/p>\n
TrackView depends on media-session integration provided by your operating system.<\/p>\n
This means that behavior may vary between Windows, Linux, macOS, desktop environments, browsers, and media players. Some applications may expose complete metadata, while others may only expose partial information or none at all.<\/p>\n
If artwork or progress is missing, the media player most likely does not provide that information through the system media session.<\/p>\n
