Tuna v1.9.11

[BioFUSION]

Cant get this to work, I installed it, followed setup, file just has "nothing is playing" in it... I have vlc 3.0.18, tuna 1.9.5, downgraded to 1.9.0 when others didnt work. Only trying with 1 vlc playlist scene atm. This is all I see in the log related to tuna:

14:54:46.196: [tuna] Loading v1.9.0 (build time 2022.10.22 19:57). Qt version: compile-time: 6.3.1, run-time: 6.3.1. libobs: compile-time: 28.0.0, run-time: 29.0.2
14:54:46.265: [tuna] Logged into Spotify.
14:54:46.274: [tuna] Loaded 1 outputs
14:54:46.275: [tuna] Logged into Spotify.

14:55:26.159: [tuna] Loaded 1 outputs
14:55:26.159: [tuna] Logged into Spotify.

I do notice when I add a scene in the VLC tab, the scene section nevers stays on my selected scene, so the box under remove never has anything in it, unless you reselect the scene, then it shows. Dont know if thats how its supposed to behave, not from descriptions ive read, but I dont know.

I only logged into spotify so it wouldnt keep saying not logged in, in the log.

Ideas?

I guess you cant edit your posts here? I never understood forums doing that... Anyway I was in a hurry was only testing the format option useful to me... I want file name, which I guess VLC isn't compatible to use, so it was working the whole time, I'm just dim.

It was, but wasn't for my use case. Oh well.

I've recently updated to the most recent OBS and Tuna versions, and my Tuna will not get song names or artists. It has no problem whatsoever with covers. When checking the text filles, Tuna is not writing the song names or artist in them. But the placeholder does display. I have the correct paths set (desktop to make sure I could write to them) in the Tuna settings as well. I've tried moving the text files to different paths and checking, that doesn't do work either. I've relogged into Spotify multiple times and am now using the "Spotify Client ID" and the secret ID. Still nothing, someone please help!

Well the configuration seems to be ok, but the requests to Spotify seem be to taking longer than a second and then just time out, which is not good.

You can try this build (you'll have to manually install the plugin), which adds an option to increase the timeout to up to 10 seconds:

Additionally you can start OBS with the "--verbose" option and send another log, which will contain some more information:

I manually added the plugin files you gave and still no luck. Same thing as before, the cover updates but not the artist or song name. I did the "--verbose" thing, here is the log with the updated plugin files!

Edit: Adjusted Tuna refresh rate MS to 10,000 after I uploaded this, still didn't fix it. Updated log to that one.

Seems like the requests are processed just fine. You could try using the spotify web client, but other than that I don't know what the issue could be.

So it works 100% perfect with the web client. Any chance that helps to figure out the problem?

Try updating your Spotify client, there's an older version that doesn't send the currently playing song to the Spotify API

Uninstalled my current Spotify application. Reinstalled it through the Microsoft Store, didn't work, uninstalled. Then I downloaded from the Spotify website and still not fixed.

This is not an issue on my end, I didn't change anything. When you play songs with the latest version of the Spotify Client it just doesn't tell the Spotify API about the currently playing song. This is apparently a known issue:

Hello, After yesterdays update to version 1.1.94.870 a number of users of the Spotify Stream Deck plugin on Windows have reported issues with the Devices API not showing the exe player (desktop player), but showing webplayer and other devices. We have confirmed that the plugin works fine on...

These are the issues from when it last happened. Since it's working with the web client it's definitely an issue on Spotify's side and not an issue with the plugin.

So I'm just kinda sittin tight until this get's resolved on Spotify's side, huh?

 

[univrsal]

Well it was already fixed before, if it's happening again someone will have to report it to them again.

Hey @universallp,
I have some issues with the cover size. Sometimes it is very small (find the screenshot). Sometimes it has the format I expect. Don't know where can try to tweak as it happens even with the same song.

What music source are you using?

A workaround is "scaling/aspect ratio" in filters of the source you are using. You can ensure that the cover is displayed at, for example, 128x128, regardless of the original image size. Usually it doesn't matter if the cover is blurry when displayed alongside the track info. Hope it helps.

Sometimes track covers are not fetched correctly, and a default cover will be displayed. Log files point to curl errors as this one:

08:51:15.687: [tuna] Couldn't fetch file from file:///C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Roaming/vlc/art/artistalbum/Abso%D0%AFute%20Zero_%E3%81%82%E3%81%8D/TOHO%20EUROBEAT%20VOL.12%20DOUBLE%20DEALING%20CHARACTER/art.jpg to D:\Personalis\Virtual_Profiles\Streamer\Runtime\Tuna Now Playing Cover.jpg.tmp, curl error: Couldn't read a file:// file (37)

After testing with multiple tracks (~20), I guess it's related to curl's compatibility with east asian languages, because the path

"file:///C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Roaming/vlc/art/artistalbum/Abso%D0%AFute%20Zero_%E3%81%82%E3%81%8D/TOHO%20EUROBEAT%20VOL.12%20DOUBLE%20DEALING%20CHARACTER/art.jpg"

does point to an existing file. As vlcplayer sorts track covers by album names, the consequence is that tracks with east asian characters in their album titles can't have their covers correctly displayed.
To remove these characters manually sounds like a ridiculous idea, but is there anything I can do other than not playing tracks with east asian characters in their album titles?

Past attempts:
open obs with admin privilege
take ownership of the entire vlc art folder
multiple attempts to play a problematic track

Edit:

As vlcplayer sorts track covers by album names

... and by artists, which means names like "AbsoЯute Zero" can also cause the fetch to fail.

Try this build

I have this all working for the most part, a quirk im stuck with ATM that I cant figure out is, when I first fire OBS, it'll constantly
say no song playing, till I physically go into the properties of the Text Source, then it kicks in.

Says tuna is running at start. Ive tried a few various things, no luck.
