Playback Monitoring Service Module

Provides the central entry point for the Spotify playback monitoring subsystem, exposing a clean, simplified API for starting and controlling Spotify playback tracking throughout the application.

Features:

  • Consolidated interface for all playback monitoring functionality
  • Abstraction of complex internal monitoring implementation details
  • Clean separation of public API from internal implementation
  • Simple monitoring lifecycle management (start/stop/check status)
  • Standardized access to playback control operations
  • Protection from module interdependency issues

This module serves as the facade for the playback monitoring system, hiding the complexity of the specialized internal modules while exposing only the necessary functions for external consumption.

The monitoring system tracks Spotify playback in real-time, detecting:

  • Track changes and skips
  • Listening patterns and behaviors
  • Playback state transitions
  • Device changes and volume adjustments
// Starting the monitoring service
import { startPlaybackMonitoring } from './services/playback';

startPlaybackMonitoring(mainWindow, clientId, clientSecret);
// Checking monitoring status
import { isMonitoringActive } from './services/playback';

if (isMonitoringActive()) {
console.log('Monitoring is currently running');
}
// Stopping the monitoring service
import { stopPlaybackMonitoring } from './services/playback';

stopPlaybackMonitoring();
export {
isMonitoringActive,
startPlaybackMonitoring,
stopPlaybackMonitoring,
} from "./monitor";

// No need to export state management, track change handlers, or history tracking
// as they're intended to be used internally by the monitor module
