Include song information on page title/m3u

Oh! Hmm. Lemme see what other players I have installed will work properly.
(I'm specifically looking for player metadata, because I'm a streamer and I wanted to use Surge as background music, so if there's a way to get it working so SMG Now Playing can pick it up, I wanna do that.)

We do stream the song title to the player. VLC on Android can handle that metadata just fine, however I tested on VLC for macOS, it doesn’t seem to work 😢. The song information is available on many channels:

• Radio station metadata (supported by some clients, incl. iTunes).

• Discord (Be-Music Surge bot will display the song it’s playing)

• Browser Notifications (click the checkbox to enable notifications and you will get a notification for each song play)

For browser title, that’s definitely a good idea! Will make it display on the title in a later update.

Update: Foobar2000 works fine with it!

@cha0sbuster So happy to hear that you’d like to use bmsurge as a background music for your stream!

An option to display current song on the page title is now available :D

Could the event be parsed as an album, and the theme as its genre, by any chance? Would help with organization a bit.

@cha0sbuster Unfortunately the streaming format we use only support Artist and Title. I also took a look at SMG Now Playing chrome extension, but didn’t find a way to integrate with it, since their site list is fixed (hardcoded).

However, if you use OBS, you can use this webpage to display the current song with BrowserSource.

You can customize the colors, font, etc. with custom CSS. Here’s an example configuration:

Oh, that's excellent! Thank you.
