IMPORTANT! please read:
"Untamed Now Playing" is no longer maintained, unfortunately due to a change of circumstances I'm no longer able to maintain UNP. Wykks has taken over development in my absence (I can't thank him enough) and you can find the new topic here: https://obsproject.com/forum/thread...dora-youtube-grooveshark-lastfm-29more.12633/
-----------------------------------------
"Untamed Now Playing" is a Chrome extension which parses the song title and artist from popular online radio/music sites, and writes it to a file on your hard drive. Programs such as OBS can then read the file and display it on an overlay, allowing viewers to easily see what song is currently being played. At the moment, this extension is Windows only.
Latest version: 0.6.1

Install
There are a couple of ways to install the extension;
Install the packed extension (Stable, recommended!)
Configuration
Once you have installed the extension, you can find the options page by either right clicking the music note icon next to the address bar and selecting Options, or by finding "Untamed Now Playing" on the Extensions page and clicking Options.
The main option to configure is the "Save Directory". This is where the file containing the now playing data will be saved. The directory will also be used for caching if you enable the "Check stream is live" option. More information explaining each option can be found by clicking the info button on the right of each option.
Please Note: If you use the "Scroll" option on OBS, you'll need to add a space (or a few) to the end of the "now playing format" option to prevent the first and last words merging.

Limitations
At the moment, now playing data is only saved when the song intially plays and is only updated when the next song starts playing. Thus if you stop playing music, the output file will still contain the last song played.
Chrome limits what directories can be saved to, if you run into problems, try saving to a subdirectory of your profile (C:\Users\USERNAME* or C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME*).

If you have any problems/suggestions/feedback etc, please either reply here or create an issue on Github. Once installed you can also find my email/skype on the 'contact' area of the options page.
