Hey everybody. I'm trying to use a text file as a source to display the now playing song info via the Untamed Now Playing plugin for Chrome. However, the text doesn't show up. I can make it show up through a roundabout fix (I click its properties, alt-tab to the game, alt-tab back to OBS, and click either OK or Cancel on the properties window) but as soon as the text file changes, the text on screen disappears again. Does anybody know how to fix this?

It doesn't save in UTF-8, so that may be causing an issue, but even saving the file in UTF-8, or changing the properties from "Text from File" to "Enter Text" has the same issues as above. Doesn't show up until I alt-tab and close the properties, and when it updates, it needs me to do it again.

The "text from file" option will only automatically update the text if the file is saved in UTF-8 encoding, otherwise it will never update. When you change from "text from file" to "enter text", you will have to hit OK in the dialog before the text source will update to the text as written. If you open the properties while it is already set to "text from file" and edit the text box, then it will update as you type it.

Alright, that make sense.

Still doesn't work. It won't even work if I do this before starting the stream.
