very great and simple to use, i am using the Browser Widget version which is working just fine. but i wish there was a version without the progress bar just the album art with song and artist below song name. i tried making it in HTML but i am not that good at it
I got it installed and working with Spotify. I can get album art, progress bar, song title and artist.
Found it better than other plugins out there. Very easy to use but was a little bit difficult to install. But the developer is very patient and helpful. So don't worry!
great plugin, everything is implemented very cool and convenient
Just thanks
Excellent, customizable and reliable plugin. Have been using for years.
Thanks for the update and fix on the placeholder image :D
and oh! I don't know if that was there before, but just saw the "hide when paused" option for the progress bar. Thanks!

If you'd like a report on the dock, the buttons don't seem to interact with Spotify at all. forward, back, or play/pause. The song name does update and the image for "play/pause" does change if I play/pause it with my keyboard or the program itself. (Just reporting for others who might want use it)

Yeah I noticed the issue with spotify, I think I know what's causing it'll just take a bit for me to fix it.
I found it a little hard to setup, but I'm pretty sure that's just me as I have inexperience with using OBS plugins. I am using it for a 24/7 music stream, and it is a great plugin to use. I would recommend this if you are trying to use this for a 24/7 stream, or for any stream that you are trying to show song info.
I have it downloaded, but it won't let me add any text files or any thing to the info tab; when i hit ok it exits and nothing happens ;;
Very good plugin, what I would still be missing for 5 stars, would be, if the textbox in which the title is, is smaller than the title is long, the title would move in an animation. So that it runs through again and again, so that you can read it completely.
Great Plugin. Litle complicated, but after some time I got what I wanted.

But... how do I uninstall the plugin. I did it with the Control Panel and by deleting the files, but the Music Control panel still shows up at the beginnen.

running the uninstaller should take care of it if you're on windows, otherwise you have to delete the plugin files manually
Easy to install and use. Lacks direct VLC support, but was able to get it working with the Windows Title function.
Updated to 1.4.1. I believe 1.4.0 was crashing OBS 25. Didn't seem to have any issues with 1.4.1 though.
Would be nice to have the progress bar and the cover disappear when spotify is paused. Cover used to work, but not any more for some reason.

I know about the cover issue, but I haven't gotten around to fix it
[Spotify]:

I don't understand why it always happens after updating the plugin or OBS that some images are simply not displayed correctly or are not enlarged at all. Without updating the plugin or OBS you can jump so much and fast through the titles without having the slightest problem with the cover. But as soon as you update the plugin or OBS, every now and then the plugin doesn't feel like displaying the cover properly.
Love this plugin, I really do. But I really hate that media control dock that was added recently. Mostly because I can't seem to find a way to not make it show again on startup every time.
I always have to go and manually turn it off from the docks menu every single time I start OBS.
I have no use for this dock at all, so it is really, really annoying.
I'm having some issues with using VLC I did read this in the comments "Do you have any VLC sources added? It only works with VLC sources not with the actual VLC player" but I have no idea how or where I would put these sources, and whether or not a simply VLC playlist file suffices? great little addon though

You have to add a VLC Video source, which can load playlists or individual files.
I'll be the hipster but any chance you can get this to speak with Winamp?

Yeah, I'm that monster.

But I am getting constant crashes with OBS 25.0.8 in inputting anything with last.fm, having the program read a program (trying for Winamp, hence the asking for it above), and VLC player.

the latest release has some issues, but the previous one should work fine
Great plugin! But I have a problem using VLC.
The title and artist are displayed, but the cover art is not.
I also have VLC in the source.
Please help!

Windows 10 pro
OBS ver. 27.2.3 64bit
VLC ver. 3.0.16

Do the files have covers embedded? You can check with https://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html if the file doesn't have a cover it won't work.
Promising plugin apart from the fact that the Album Icon resizing each time a new song is playing and the delay updating info that bugs me.

Any suggestions or fixes I might not be aware of?

Setting the bounding box type of the image source will correctly resize the cover art. The delay is usually because Spotify limits the amount of requests that can be sent. Nothing I can do about that, you'll have to register your own Spotify app.
I'm having problems with using Spotify.
At first, I tried ignoring the client id and secret part because it wasn't on the instructions, but after successfully receiving the token and pressing the apply button, the acc was automatically logged out. When I then tried filling the client id and secret, the login page kept saying it was a invalid URL
Upon following your two video tutorials, plus reading the top resulted comment that fixes this, the song title still refuses to appear as anything more than "%t" when using a VLC Media Source.. Cover art appears perfectly fine, anything else is a no-go.

The latest version uses different formatting, the title would be {title} instead of %t
