Now Playing - Can I Add Spacing?
« on: March 29, 2015, 08:50:50 PM »
So I have a little dilemma with DB's YouTube Now Playing.
Since there doesn't seem to be a direct way to edit output of the text file OBS reads, how can I add spacing?

Right now it looks like this on OBS when in scroll mode (can't use without scroll mode, wouldn't fit my overlay otherwise):
SongnameSongname

Whereas I would much more prefer this:
Songname     Songname

How can I achieve this or is this not possible currently using DB's YT Now Playing text file?

Hi there,
atm you can't edit the output, but it will be there soon. So you have to stick with the current endless "SongnameSongname" for a bit longer.
Hier steht nichts Sinnvolles, dennoch freundliche Grüße. MercurY

With the latest update you can customize the format within the master config under text files.

The file to load then would be CurrentSongFormatted.txt

Ah, brilliant!
Thank you.

Though I wish you would add requestee call for that as well, a bit of a nuisance to use two text files when I'm having viewer requested music nights. :/

I thought this was for YouTube, but apparently it's LastFM.
Is there not a way to do something like this for YouTube Now Playing as well?

Seems odd that it has @requestedby@ call when it's for LastFM.

All in all, remove @requestedby@ call from LastFM's Now Playing format and make similar to YouTube Now Playing with @requestedby@ and @requestee@ calls.
Should be great.

Its actually for both - last.fm as well as the internal YouTube player. There was a bug preventing it from being run for YouTube songs.

Please run update.exe and try again.
