Uhh, when i download the .zip and extract it this is what i get: A folder called SMG containing: contact.txt, current_song.txt, license.txt, readme.txt and SMG.exe and there is nothing else in there. After I run SMG.exe two new folders appear: config and logging, but in neither of them GUI.exe exists... So uhh yea what's going on?

The program is SMG.exe, not gui.exe (it was an older version)

If no window pops up, then that's kind of messy. What operating system are you using?

Also guys, I'm finally making some progress, I've fixed the main problem I had. So there will probably be an update with lots of fixes today or tomorrow :)


Edit: Ok, I've got to fix one more thing before I can bring out the update.

I've already added web spotify, youtify and musicbee.
I fixed some horrible, horrible bugs *shivers*

There's a proper temporary fix for the double title in foobar.
It takes all words in the title of a song and it removes duplicates, then it rearranges that into a normal title.

Why is this a temporary fix and not permanent?
Say you have a title with duplicate words in it. A great example would be the song called Freedom Call by the band Freedom Call.

This will show up as Freedom Call -

Another example would be if your song is called Ha Ha Ha, it would show up as Ha

There aren't that many songs with duplicate words in it though, and it's still easy to look up a song with duplicate words.

Obviously you can turn this option on and off!

Remove the config folder and try again, if there's nothing in the rolldown at all, just run the program again.
It thinks that it's being ran for the first time, so it has to set-up everything again. (and that requires a restart of the program)

Now it works... Strange that restarting it yesterday did nothing ._. o well thanks a lot! :)

Is version 1.14 up on SourceForge? It says 1.13 on the page and when I downloaded it, it didn't have the temp Foobar fix as an available option. When I opened SMG, it didn't prompt me to update it either.

I didn't bring it out yet. (I'm packaging it right now, so expect it in at most half an hour)
Done

iTunes isn't working for me. I tested it with youtube, and that works fine, just not iTunes.

Try closing iTunes (make sure it's completely shut down), open my program. Select iTunes and press start on my program. iTunes should open.

I'm not sure if this will work, but it could make a difference.

Edit: I've released version 1.2! (It's not 1.14 since I changed too much :)
Download here (Or use the included update thing, even though it won't work right now, version check server seems to be broken :( It should be working again now :) )

Nope. Nothing. :(

I may have missed a step, but it seems that the program doesn't recognize when the song changes in winamp. So the "current_song" is just stuck on the song that was playing when I started the program.

Would it be possible for this program to output song titles using eastern characters? I believe that's Unicode, which you can save txt files in, so it should be possible to display it in OBS. Right now it just displays them as question marks, a common problem with a lot of programs. I've been using this for a long time and its been really helpful, though I'm suffering the foobar woes just like everyone else. Thanks for the constant updates!

Has anyone been able to answer why there is a "?" at the beginning of "current playing song"? Just wondering if there is something we can do to take that off.
