I haven't found anything in the meanwhile that can fix your problem. However, I'm working on a fantastic global fix so I don't have to hardcode support for browsers. That pretty much means SMG will support about any (non-ancient) browser, including obscure ones no-one ever heard of.
Are you using a custom Firefox build?
I'm looking into it. Currently, it indeed only takes the filename. My end-goal is to open that file, and read title-artist-album from the ID3 tags, but it's not easily done.
Pretty cool, this is a problem with Python's standard library and not with my own code :D
Fixed it anyway.
The newest version starts with the last selected program when it opens (except for iTunes, since starting SMG - iTunes will start up iTunes itself, that would be extremely annoying, especially for slower pc's)
The problem lies within the window manager I use (Qt), it has really weird bugs with minimize to tray, I have tried it before.
I will try it again later, but it's not high on the list of things I want to support.
Ok so I just released a new version of SMG:
As always, download is on sourceforge
- fixed iTunes (sorry for this taking so long, this was ready for probably more than a month)
- fixed a crash
- SMG now remembers the program you used last, so it can immediately start that program when SMG starts up. iTunes will not automatically start, since the iTunes program will start-up when you select iTunes within SMG. (very vague explanation, sorry, lol)
- Edit output will now remember spaces (before this fix, it would just remove those spaces after you restart SMG :< )
- Added an explanation for Zune and WMP problems.
- When you start up SMG for the first time, it'll give a link to the introduction video
Also guys, I made some new videos for the newer versions of SMG. Since the other video was getting a bit outdated. Here's the new introduction video.

I've looked through the thread but didn't see an answer to my question.
So, is there possibly a way to edit the output to show the Album playing in WinAmp instead of the artist? I've tried stuff like %album, &album and etcetera.
I only ask because most people viewing the stream won't know who the artist is. This is especially true on soundtracks for games (which I like to play before hand to get them in the mood for that particular game).
If there is no solution for this than that is okay. Just thought I would ask as searching around found no answer. :)

Nope, sorry nothing like that currently. It'll take a lot of time to add this feature, since I'll need to manually figure out how to retrieve the album, artist and song title from every media player I currently support.
Does the error pop up every time you launch it? Try removing the config folder and see if it works this time.
Azeirah updated SMG now playing with a new update entry:
Update 1.63, just a few bugfixes

Awesome program, does exactly what I was looking for!
One thing I couldn't figure out... is there a way to add a newline into the "Edit Output" section? Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to get the Artist and Track onto separate lines. I was just throwing random common newline symbols at it (\n, \r, %n%, etc) and nothing works, except html like <br> and <p>, but oddly enough, those only modified the example text in the bottom of the window, and not in the text file itself.
Thanks.
(If this was answers earlier, I apologize... but I did look)

I'm not sure if you already implemented that, but just wanted to confirm that finally web apps work fine for me :D
By the way, you might want to update the window title, readme file, etc., because they still say v1.62 there.

Any fixes yet? im using iTunes it works when i open it as admin but it wont update the text file or recognize the music when i do so. i don't know what caused this. it was perfect before.
Thanks. Soundcloud was not marked with *, so I though it was not needed.

Hello, I'm quite interested in this plug'in that is unfortunatly not valaible with my media player '' JetAudio Basic''
...I hope one day, I could use it when integrate this player.
Have a nice Day
Yves.
There already is support for aimp3 :o
Is iTunes still not working in the newest version (if you're not sure about your version, just redownload it)? Since that would be very weird.
I'll take a look at it when I have time, I think I'll be able to add this one for the next update if it's not unreasonably hard like windows media player or zune >.>
I'll take a look at it.
Hmm, I think Qt automatically escapes sequences like \n and \r. The reason html works on the output below is because Qt labels support html output. I guess I'll have to disable that for that specific label.
really? I didn't find it in the list here.
