Describe the Bug

The playback info on macOS doesn't match the info of the actual playback on Cider. The timestamps are off, and sometimes detected as live media. (This also shows up in the control center, and is not an Alcove bug)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play any song
2. Wait (or scroll, but don't skip) until the song finishes and skips to the next one.
