Perfect ! Thanks a lot ! :)

Edit : Oups... There is a problem, with clementine, when the music change, there is the message : "SMG reloaded - 2.06 by Azeirah" 10 sec or more before the title of the song :/

Hmm yeah, you're right, odd how that didn't show up during testing :o
There's not too much I can do to fix the core issue right now.

I did apply a small patch so it'll be a little bit better now, I suppose.
Problem is that for clementine, I'm looking for the text pattern of " - " of all your open windows.

SMG has "SMG reloa... - ...", so it fits the pattern as well. I blacklisted SMG for clementine, so that won't show up again, but I can't guarantee that other programs won't have " - " in their title.
I'm positive I can find a more robust identification method though, so this will issue will be properly handled in a future release.

For now, you can redownload v2.06, with the patch applied, it should be a little bit better.

Are there any prerequisites to this software? I seem to get these errors when running it: http://i.imgur.com/aGb71Ls.png

I have recently reformatted my drive so I had to reinstall the obvious things like java/.net/silverlight. But I can't seem to fix this, even after installing Python 3.4

Python actually isn't an smg dependency at all.
I haven't seen your error message before.

Smg has but one dependency, and that's the 32-bit microsoft visual C++ redistributable, which you can get here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

(I've confused myself, in a link, I saved a file for myself, explictly stating I should let users download 64-bit version instead of 32-bit, even though smg is distributed as a 32-bit application. Try 32-bit first, otherwise try this 64-bit version http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632)

Although, I doubt reinstalling that will solve your error.

I did some googling, and some people claim it's a bug with my packaging application. If installing the above distribution doesn't work, I'm going to build a custom smg package for you.

Thank you very much. Installing the 32-bit microsoft visual C++ redistributable seems to have done the job. I had the 64-bit installed as I assumed it went by os. All good now. <3

Google play is working fine for me in version 2.07, especially because I didn't change anything google play related between version 2.07 and 2.06. It does look like they've made a change (again) though, the groovemarklet isn't necessarily required right now it seems...

Can you try without it?

Hi, I have been getting this error since moving from the free SMG 1.63 beta to a paid license for 2.07

It happens the first time I open SMG.
If I then close it down and reload SMG it works fine

No idea what's causing it. 2.07 is in a new folder so its not a file conflict with the old version.

Hello. I would like to be able to format the text 'now playing' text file a bit to add spaces and perhaps add permanent words like 'Artist' and 'Song'

Any way you can get this working with fidelify?

Hey Zaelin. I took a look at fidelify, I like what they're trying to achieve, but unfortunately it s currently not possible to support their client. I would have made the necessary changes myself if it was open source, but it unfortunately isn t :(

Hey, unfortunately SMGs biggest strength is also its weakness. Because it supports such a large amount of different music players, it cannot support formatting. For most music players, it's not possible to split up the title into song title, artist and album.

I wish better formatting would be possible, but unfortunately it mostly isn't :(

Something is not working with the new version. I try to launch it, but it doesn't launch (doesn't show anything). Attaching exceptions log. (logging.txt doesn't show any stuff)
EDIT: By the way, tried to launch it twice - that's why it says everything twice. Fresh install.

EDIT 2: Regarding to post below - thank you, works fine now.

Hey sorry yes. I've fixed the issue by now. You can redownload smg v2.09 and it will work as intended.

Would love it if this worked with DI.FM

Currently using VLC + SMG to display my music which isn't bad but using one program would be even better.
