I do not think that my trouble cames with Tuna, but maybe someone got same problem.
A week ago i re-installed my OS (win10 build 21H2), installed OBS and Tuna as first plugin - because it`s one and only plugin that im using every time im streaming and still it is beyond OBS builds.
From now, my Spotify account connected, everything should work, but... it is not. I noticed that *.txt files im using to write info for Tune are not overwrited while song is playing and "placeholder.png" just disappears. My thoughts - OS account does not have anough rights to do read\write operation with files inside C:\ path. Got administration role in system, and OBS is running with administrator privilages. The only thing changed - OBS and Tuna versions, nothing else :\ (i used the same OS, did same things i done before)
I`ll try to install obs on other ssd, maybe that would work. I will try all proposed ways to solve the problem :)
OBS ver.: 28.0.1
Tuna ver.: 1.8.4

Probably this issue
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:
Spotify desktop client not submitting data to the API
Plan Premium Country The Netherlands Device PC Operating System Windows 11 My Question or Issue Straight to the point. My spotify client isn't sending nor receiving data from the api and spotify connect. Yes i've checked my firewalls and yes i have tried turning it on and off again. All of...community.spotify.com
Devices API not showing the .exe player but showing webplayer.
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...

Thanks, that really helped. Seems like Spotify got some issues in API within Desktop app and every other (Web + Mobile app does not even see connection with PC), however they fixed it 2 hours later i have replied here :D

Hey Universal, been loving the plugin... but after that recent update, (around sept. 2022) yes Tuna didnt work with the newest version but (I fixed it ) and i got it working again all good.... but one thing, the cover art? I use soundcloud, and before the update the cover art was showing up just fine, but after update the cover art isnt there anymore. I even went into tamper monkey and even changed the tuna script from it was like 1.011 to like 1.0116 and still and not getting my cover art, but progess bar and title are just fine. PLS HELP // EDIT; My stream is Twitch.tv/Manjoefloww if you pass by please chat to help me with this cover art, its always grey :(

I'm so confused. Is this plugin suppose to do something other than show a green "progress bar" of what's playing on VLC? Because that's all I can seem to get it to with vlc. Followed a few tutorials, added some other plugins (those i can get to work, just not with tuna), have my .txt and .png and whatnot setup like several tutorials have shown, and read through comments here, but I only get a lime green ugly progress bar. "tuna progress bar" is the only source available to me. Should i go back a year and install an old version to get it to do the thing everyone else seems to be able to get it to do? or get another plugin that...does what this one is suppose to? so very confused.
I tried to use spotify, but it kept saying "INVALID_CLIENT: Invalid redirect URI" while trying to "open login page" from the settings screen. disabled all browser security plugins and gave same response. couldn't find any troubleshooting on that one, so I gave up on spotify.
win 11
fresh obs
fresh vlc
fresh tuna

Just a little heads up. As some people might have already heard, Google will disable manifest V2 at the beginning of 2023, which, as far as I know, is required for Tampermonkey and simiilar addons to work. This could affect you if you're using Chrome and you are using the user script which allows tuna to retrieve information from your browser. So uhh idk, maybe switch to firefox or something.

if you were responding to me, then if you'll kindly reread what I wrote, I followed all the setup steps. but it didn't have the same result. followed a few youtube tutorials, ones done within the year, and no go. I am currently using other plugins that use a similar setup (.txt, .png/jpg, etc.) but those work fine. So, less snark and contempt for someone asking for help, after having gone through the normal steps and working on it for a solid 4 hours, would be grand. It may be a dumb mistake in the end, but it won't be for lack of effort. if this wasn't directed torwards me, then i apologize.

Considering that you wrote
it makes sense to assume that you didn't follow the steps correctly. Or did you actually add text sources and image sources?
I get that you're upset because things aren't working as you expected, but you're also not really providing any information that we can work with. If you want people to help you, you'll have to give a precise description of what steps you've gone through and also give a link to your obs studio log as it contains additional useful information. Screenshots are also always helpful, but since you apparently found another solution that works for you, I assume you don't require help anymore.

@univerasal, Soi also as well it seems my stream is crashing lately... Mighttt be tunas doing, i do have some yellow signs on my tampermonkey script still as well.... might use browser version of Soundcloud instead of the app to use plugin, but Soundcloud app does a browser anyway. The cover art seems to go grey again at times, hence the stream crash mentioned earlier. I still need a fix I think....

I had this issue too, and the problem seemed to be with Spotify's newest version. For some reason it was not publishing song information as it used to. Not sure exactly what the issue was there. I solved by installing an older version of Spotify. Another solution is to play spotify on the web, which does publish song info and is captured correctly by Tuna.
