[Bug] Now playing shows the last media after its closed.

[amiralimi]

What happened? What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

When I close the media source, it still shows the song name and cover of the last playing song.

I use youtube music, and its still there even after I completely close chrome.

if this is an actuall bug, i don't mind fixing it.

What did you expect to happen?

Don't show the cover and song name similar to mac's now playing.

Please check if the "Now Playing" area of the Control Center is also still showing the last media when this happens.

Well that’s the thing, it doesn't because I have both music open and some other media tab like YouTube, so now playing shows YouTube instead of the music app. However in boringnotch I set it to YouTube music only and I use the pear api. I think it's because it's confused on what the song is, maybe add a check to make sure the now playing is matching up with the claimed song name?
