Hello @pathania07, I'm not a developer for RiPlay, but to my knowledge, pulling Spotify Canvas datas is not provided through the API nor is it available for public developer use (I might be wrong, so please feel free to correct me).

Since a Canvas is a 3-8 seconds video loop, one possible implementation could involve looping through a segment of a YouTube video, even though this wouldn't be an exact match for the feature you requested.

However, the feasibility of such feature would need to be evaluated by a developer on the team.

Simpmusic implemented the feature but we don't know how easy or difficult it is to get the Api but also that would also need to add a feature to hide the player by just tapping similar to Spotify

(Pulling a video from a yt mv also sounds unique)

Yes that is true, SimpMusic does indeed support that feature! Although that feature has been unstable, with multiple users reporting of it not working.

If I'm not mistaking, on the SimpMusic side it was fixed with v0.2.17 PR #1004

I agree with you, pulling a segment of a yt video would be a unique approch but considering the backend of riplay may be easier / faster to implement.
Although as stated previously, I'm not a developer of RiPlay; hence I should restrain myself from making any claims on the difficulty of implementing any feature, not having read extensively the actualcode base of the app itself.
