Question / Help Keep the size of the text locked

[HaydnAhmed]

I use a script to output my current song into a text file, and then OBS reads the text file, but my song title lengths differ meaning that my text keeps going off the screen. Is there anyway I can lock it into the centre and then just have it scrolling rather than changing size every time the song changes?

There is a 'scrool-speed' setting in the properties of the textsource.

Yeah, like this:

Thanks for the fast response, but now the text has gone onto multiple lines like this http://scr.haydn.is/mzm.png

Any ideas on how to fix that?

Oh, shit, I'm dumb. Don't use the Wrap option in that case.

 

[HaydnAhmed]

oh, okay. Is there any other way I can do it?

 

[Krazy]

Not using Wrap should make it scroll properly.

 

[HaydnAhmed]

The problem is that when the song changes, the text lengthens out. For example, when listening to a song with a short song title it's fine, like this http://scr.haydn.is/50o.png

However, when a song with a longer song title plays, it lengthens out to the right rather than just scrolling more, like this http://scr.haydn.is/e61.png

Is there anyway I can make it stay in the center and scrolling, and when the song changes still take up the same amount of space?

 

[Krazy]

Yeah, just change the size of the text box. The text will only appear in the box that you set.

 

[HaydnAhmed]

That doesn't work, the text just continues out of the box http://scr.haydn.is/TnF.png

Er...it should not be doing that at all. Try recreating the source from scratch?

 

[Xianahru]

I think I know what his problem is. Play around with the 'custom extends'. Its above the 'wrap'-option.
That should fix it.

 

[HaydnAhmed]

Fixed. Thanks :]

 

[Krazy]

Excellent, post again if you have any other issues.
