[Feature Request]: Now Playing to txt file

[ne0lines]

Preflight Checklist

• I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
• I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

I want to be able for my stream viewers to use the command ie. !song in chat to get information of currently playing song.

Proposed Solution

Make functionality or plugin for saving information about current playing song (artist, track, album name, album cover URL, video file URL) to a text file which can be presented in OBS.

Alternatives Considered

I tried making a script in Streamer.bot for this using c#, but I'm not that comfortable with programming to do this.

Additional Information

No response

The plugin api-server provides the endpoint /api/v1/song-info which gives you details about the now playing song.
You can easily make a script to poll info and save it to a txt file.

I'm having trouble with this. I can connect to the API server from my browser and see current playing song, but I'm not able to connect over websocket using Streamer.bot.

I think that's exactly what tuna-obs does

• enable tuna-obs plugin in youtube-music
• install tuna plugin in OBS
• configure tuna in OBS (there are instructions in the forum)
• add the text sources pointing to the txt files generated by tuna

In this example I'm saving the title+artist to ~/title.txt and timestamp to ~/meta.txt, then displaying it in obs with a text source. (as well as the cover and progress bar)

I'm using Amuse to show the currently playing song in OBS, I just want a !song command for chat. Don't want to clutter my OBS with more plugins than absolutely needed, so I got the youtube-music API-server to work together with Streamer.bot. So now I'm sending out an automated chat message every time there's a song change if more than 10 messages have been sent to chat since the last song update. Also added !song command in Streamer.bot for users who missed the automated message during song change.
