Now Playing info for Twitch?

At the moment it is possible to get the title, artist, album and song duration through a workaround to OBS.

  1. Add a Text Source in OBS
  2. Click the Text Source to open its settings
  3. Tick Read from File
  4. Hit the Browse Text File Button
  5. In the open dialog window use the keyboard combination “shift + cmd + g”
  6. In the go to folder window paste the following path:
    ~/Music/djay/djay Media Library.djayMediaLibrary/NowPlaying.txt
  7. Select the NowPlaying.txt file

Now OBS gets the information of the currently playing active deck (make sure the crossfader is moved to the deck you want to have the information from).

Please note that the NowPlaying file is not adjustable and will show the 4 elements. You could try to parse the information or adjust it directly in OBS.
