Describe the bug

Media widget works with other programs (Spotify) and my browser and will show the song/media information and where it's playing from. However, it doesn't do so fully for "Youtube Music for Desktop" (https://github.com/Venipa/ytmdesktop2). It will display song length, and show where you are in the track, and will pause it (though sometimes pausing through the widget has crashed YASB) but nothing else.
