Now Playing - OBS: Chrome Extension for OBS Now Playing Widget
Now Playing - OBS is a Chrome extension developed by Tizhproger. It is a client for OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) now playing widget, specifically designed to display song names and their durations from popular music streaming services such as SoundCloud, YouTube, Music YouTube, and Spotify in OBS.
To use this extension, you need to have the OBS now playing widget installed. The extension works by extracting the songs' titles, durations, and playing states from the content on the page. It does not store any of your data locally or via Chrome API tools, and it does not save or transfer any account data outside of your PC.
If you are interested in the technical details, you can view the code and run it yourself using Chrome developer settings. The extension itself is free to use and can be found on the developer's GitHub repository. The installation tutorial is also available there.
Please note that this extension only transmits the data to a server application running on localhost, which then sends it to OBS locally. It does not involve any external servers or online storage of your data.
Now Playing - OBS is a useful tool for content creators who want to display the currently playing song in their live streams or recordings. It provides a seamless integration between popular music streaming services and OBS, making it easier to engage with your audience through music.
