Question / Help OBS Incorrectly Reading Text File

So I'm using an AHK script to output a .txt file with my currently playing song. The problem is, when I'm actually playing a song and the .txt file reads something like " | Tobu - Infectious", OBS does not display anything at all. When I stop the music, the .txt file reads " | Spotify" and OBS displays it correctly.

I've tried creating another text document with the text " | Tobu - Infectious" and OBS displays that correctly, as well. It just seems to not want to display my currently playing song with that specific file that my AHK script is outputting.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's doing that. Any help will be appreciated.

Hmm, definitely make sure AHK creates an UTF-8 or compatible file when writing " | Tobu - Infectious". If it creates a txt file with the wrong format, the text source cannot read it.
