Hi all, I feel like it's time to start the beta for the user dashboards. There's still a long way to go, but this is a solid start for you all to try it out. This thread will contain the instructions on how to set this all up!

Hi everyone! It has been a very long time, and SMG has been riddled with major bugs for a while. I am working on a newsletter to explain what's going on. In short: I will be focusing my efforts on revitalizing SMG. Stay tuned :)

As previously reported, Soundtrack is being shut down on July 17th due to 'limited use from the Twitch Community'. Twitch now officially recommends @Pretzel_Rocks @NCSounds @chillhopdotcom + Outertone by @routenote. #TwitchNews #TOSgg

I'm looking at bluesky and Mastodon as my first alternatives. Perhaps discord is the way to go? Let me know what your think as well :)

The past few days with the new algorithm are affecting me deeply. There are wrongs within this world that need to be seen and discussed, but all of them at the same time? It's too much for me.

I'm going to move away from Twitter. I'll remain active here until I find a suitable replacement. Work on SMG will continue as usual. Nothing changing there.

v2.29 is out because today is tomorrow! Download here:

Spent the day improving stability for the new SMG release - Fixed crash when song title is not as expected (ie "Spotify Premium" rather than "song - artist" - Allow multiple widgets to connect to SMG - Improved widget connection stability V2.29 will be out tomorrow

Released version 2.28, which -should- fix all the stability issues with version 2.27 Download here:

@nyacchii_art @kasriiiii @Gho5tComplex @NeoAbsolution try it out and let me know what you think :)

Remember, the widget is only optimized for the Spotify web player at the moment. Other players do work, but album art and artists will not show up for most music players.

That's it! You can now place the widget where you want. Whenever SMG picks up a new song, the widget will change. SMG needs to be running, the widget will not do anything on its own.

6. If you want, you can set "Page permissions" to "No access to OBS" since the widget should not control OBS whatsoever. It should not make a difference

5. Remove the Custom CSS completely, the field should be empty.

Keep the FPS at 30, since the music player will use a scrolling animation for songs with long titles.

4. Set the width to 324 and the height to 92.

3. In the properties window, tick the "Local file" checkbox and select the music-player-dark.html file. You should be able to find it in C:/Program Files (x86)/SMG Music Display/widgets Mine is in a completely different location, so ignore the location in the image

2. Name the source however you wish, such as "music widget" and press OK

So, how do you set this up in OBS? 1. Add a new source to your scene and select "Browser"

In your SMG installation directory there's a new folder called "widgets" with a file 'music-player-dark.html' in it. You can open the file in Firefox or Chrome to preview the music player widget. Play some music on SMG and it will automatically update to the current song.
