Coming from using Tuna- this is simple, really easy to use, and works great. Will work regardless of OBS version (I think?) with how it is, which is convenient for me. Thank you!

Hey, OBSCurrentSong does not interact with OBS in anyway other then when updating the file that stores the current song playing.

this works great for me as I have a lot of local files that I listen to through spotify and they will not work with many other similar tools. simple and easy to set up. currently the only options for display are song title and artist name. I understand that cover art is out since that would involve using spotify api, however I'd love to see additional text options such as album name if possible. regardless this is what I was looking for and I'm pleased

This works really well for the most part! I've noticed that, on a few occasions, the program won't update when changing songs. But that's easy to fix by just restarting the song.

I only have one tiny complaint which is more of a problem with my specific setup than the plugin. I run most of my stream content off of a separate hard drive. When running the program on any drive that isn't C:, the program doesn't update. Not something I expect to be fixed or really a flaw with the program, but I felt like I should mention it just in case that's something you ever wanted to look into.

Otherwise the plugin is great! Thanks for replacing snip.

When it works, it works fantastic. However, I have a problem where it sometimes won't show up on my stream. Other than that issue, it is exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi there, been using this instead of snip, cause it stopped working. only issue im running into is when i have scrolling text for the overlay. there is no space between the song name and when thee artist scrolls back, for example "Shinedown - Song" as its scrolling all is good, until its scrolling from the song name back to the artist, there is no gap, i.e. "SongShinedown - " if that makes sense?

was just wondering if theres a way to fix it! Thanks!

Thank you its amazing! i was using Snip, but somereason Snip dont display local files in spotify. This one does! Only thing i would like you to add is that we could minimize it to system tray. "subprefix": command was nice bonus, i use "subprefix": "♪♫♪'" (u can do that with Alt commands, Alt 13 is ♪ and Alt 14 is ♫) Far as i know u cant use alt commands in there, but u can use copy paste :)

Thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately because the application is built in a console application this isn't possible without a recode. Currently don't have the time, but at some point I might be able to get it done.
