Display "Now Playing" with VLC

[hnethery]

I think I'm just a big dummy, but I can't find any plugins that will display the song/artist on stream from a VLC playlist (via the VLC Video Source in OBS).

I'm a teacher, and I have a "waiting room" set up where students listen to local music artists. I'd like the song/artist/album names to be displayed on screen for the students.

Thanks!

Awesome, thank you so much! I had a little trouble getting Tuna to work, but I'll keep working on it!

How do I set it up? I've been sitting here for the past 30 minutes and can't find anything to help.
