songify's Issues

always shutting down after a few minutes

Songify always shuts down after a few minutes, not sure what the reason is.

[Enhancement] Add {url} Variable

Hey, GREAT APP!!, would love to see a {url} variable to use with the "Upload song info" option so it looks smth like this:

(I'm using the split artist & title option for obs anyway) so it won't have the url

Songify keeps crashing

After this new update, Songify crashes almost immediately after launch. Connects to my Spotify and Twitch though no problem. Everytime it crashes, i get at least 10 small error windows. Not sure what is going on. Hope it can be fixed soon.

Downloading album cover causes program to close itself

Setting Download Album cover causes the program to just close itself when the song changes

Using Spotify API

Edit: Also, it never downloads the cover

Problem mit Vip < Sub

Moin, grüß dich. Es ist gerade ein folgendes Problem aufgetreten, unzwar wenn Vips, aber subs nicht erlaubt sind, ist es VIPs welche auch Sub sind nicht erlaubt den !ssr Befehl zu nutzen. (Siehe Screenshot) .
Wäre super, wenn du das noch fixen könntest :D

Viele liebe Grüße und ein angenehmes Wochenende

Song info fetching broken after update

I haven't streamed in a good while, since like december. But yesterday i did and when i launched songify i noticed that my widget wasnt displaying any song info whatsoever, something thats always worked pretty flawlessly before. The software auto updated so there wasnt much i could do to prevent this sadly.

I've attached a video of my streaming setup displaying music playing, the title in spotify and the player itself along with the textfile thats supposed to show the title but is simply the wrong song and hasnt changed.

Didn't save the settings

Hello
I made all Settings, linked my spotify and twitch account and changed everything in the settings but after I closed the app and started it again, everything was deleted and I had to make the settings again.
Is there a way to save the settings I made anywhere?
Thank you

Songify doesn't update the song on Google Chrome

When I listen to my playlist, Songify gets the song I'm listening to but when I get to the next song, the title on Songify stays the same instead of being updated. I'm using v1.2.7.

{maxreq} value doesn't get filled correctly

The {maxreq} parameter for the "Max songs in queue" bot response is not working properly.

Add support trovo.live

In some regions, the streaming platform trovo.live is gaining popularity.

I ask you to consider it and if there is an opportunity to add support and integration with this platform.

Some services already support them: streamlabs, nightbot, stream elements and others.

But as far as music is concerned, songify is just better

Songify Can't Detect VLC

Songify cannot detect VLC, as of the recent update.

I'm using Windows 10. VLC version 3.0.17.4 - Songify version 1.3.8.1

Tried reinstalling both. Nothing outputs to the text file.

An other process is using the "{route}/cover.png" causing the message "Songify just crashed ):"

I tried to change the route of the directory but the problem still appears. So then I tried something different like erase the "%localappdata%/Songify.Rocks" with no fixes. I dont know what is the exact process to shutdown for solve this issue. Help :c

Here is my log file:

Extra 10 Spaces at End of Song Title When Using foobar2000

I'm currently using Songify to grab the title of songs that I'm playing in foobar.

However, it is adding an additional 10 spaces at the end of the output in the text file (even when its just the title or just the artist name). Which causes the text to not be properly centered as shown below:

I also tested this with VLC and I'm getting the same result, so this makes me believe it may be an intended feature? If this is supposed to be a feature, a toggle would be greatly appreciated.

Not really what one would want

The idea of taking the window name is pretty basic but good one.
BUT, there is no way to extract the title or the artist, so you are not really getting the "song name".
There are severals scenarios you can have '-' in the artist name, or in a song name, so splitting '-' doesn't work 100%.

This, however, is the only working method I know myself. Hope someone will someday find a smart way to get a full solution.

File is currently not showing up inside the root directory. As mentioned by @Inzaniity it's hidden inside the file explorer.

Persistent History Link (Request)

Hello! I have been configuring and using Songify recently for my stream, and I love it! However, one rather bit I feel is lacking is that each new session gives a new Song History link. Could this be something that gets auto parsed server side to https://songify.overcode.tv/{username} then select date and/or https://songify.overcode.tv/{username}/today?

Alternatively, there should be a !songhistory command that has the current song history session link as a parameter (i.e {historyurl})

I do see that there's a history.shr file in the app directory, and I may end up making my own history page with that, which I am grateful for the file as a resource! Regardless, there's going to be a lot of people unwilling/unknowledgeable to do that, and a good user experience is key.

Thanks for your time on this project, and excited to see it progress!

Random High CPU usage

Specs: App starting when windows start, minimized in system tray, spotify closed.

Randomly use 90%+ of the CPU usage, for no reason. Clicking on the icon in system tray litteraly freeze the computer.

API doesn't work for me anymore

I currently have the problem that my API function is no longer recognized, is this a general problem?

How to open from background

I'm trying to figure out how to open the application from the background, every time I try to open it the notification tells me the application is running in the background and I want to be able to have a window open to edit song settings

Twitch login does not result in success page after redirect

When selecting Twitch in the settings and pressing the Login with Twitch button, after successful username and password entry, the page will redirect to a localhost:4003/{all the tokens} with a connected refused result. The login will be unsuccessful and therefore no bot. Is there a workaround for this?

[Feature Request] Individual user-level requirements for 'Command' and 'Channel Point' Song Requests

Hello! I use Songify on my stream and I love it. I wanted to submit a possible feature request.

It would be very useful to implement a feature to allow the user to toggle individual user-level requirements for Song Reward redemptions based on command and channel points.

So for example, I'd like to be able to restrict the SR command to anyone VIP or above, but allow Channel Point redemptions to be usable for Everyone.

This would allow streamers to allow Song Requests for "Everyone" with Channel points, or allow VIP/Sub to request for 'free' with a command.

Thank you!

download support m4a file

you could make this application to be m4a and not mp3, I've already searched for downloaders with m4a compatibility and there's no :(
apologies for asking a lot

Chrome freezes 2s every fetch with Youtube

When using the extension with Youtube (Chrome), Chrome freezes for about 2s every 3s (3s being the default refresh rate of Songify). The freez occur on every Chrome tabs and even if I open another Chrome window.
I tried different values for the refresh rate and it does change the freez' frequency.
The issue disappears as soon as I close Songify.
I'm using Songify 1.2.4

Connection to Spotify Webservice.

I kind of posted before I could write this but whenever I try to connect to the spotify webservice with songify it just tells me "Couldn't connect to the Spotify Webservice. Please try again." I've tried literally everything I can think of.

[Enhancement] Progress Bar?

Hey, Jan

I know you took the decision and you're not doing any major developments to Songify anymore and will just keep maintaining it and I respect that, I hope everything is going well now or at least going okay. I just discovered Songify lately after I had several issues with Snip, I have a couple of friends who stream regularly and I also mod for some big streamers in my country, I told them all about Songify, and ALL of them kept thanking me for letting them know about it, so I'm just telling you that even though you lost the motivation for streaming, your app will help several streamers who are full of passion and energy towards streaming. I made an issue with the {url} variable thing a few days ago, that was before I read the Discord announcement, but it encouraged me to ask you about this...

I was hoping if you're willing to add one last little feature to Songify and it'd literally be the perfect app for this, a progress bar, SpotifyAPI returns progress_ms and duration_ms in the player endpoint payload, so if possible, could you maybe use some kind of library to generate an image that is saved along the song metadata files and is updated every like 2 seconds, which would be just a straight line that progresses with the value of progress_ms and in the app would be settings for the line thickness and width, maybe colors. One other idea which I don't know if it'll work (just like the previous one 😅), maybe make it so that it's a HTML file instead of a PNG image so that it could be updated directly without actually saving it to the device and increasing CPU and Disk usage.

I have no idea if any of this is programmatically possible because I have extremely limited experience in programming, I don't know if it's a lot of work or not, so feel free to reject the idea completely, or even try for a bit and ditch it, I was just wondering if you're willing to do it whilst respecting what you've decided. Good luck, be safe, and have a great life.

Not an issue but, i am guessing this project likely to be dead for a while!

I am just guessing here but since twitch is cracking down on copyrighted music on streams and banning offenders, it is likely that this tool will not be used, for a while.

Songify process ends on startup attempts

When attempting to open Songify, the process immediately ends in task manager. When downloading the previous version, it starts up fine, but it immediately attempt to download an update, and the update cannot be stopped. This started happening yesterday on the latest release of Songify. The program was working fine until then. This was after my PC shut down unexpectedly due to a power outage. Restarting the computer, redownloading the software, trying different versions of Songify all still result in no success with launching the program.

Dash symbol to seperate artist/title does not get added

I managed to work around this by adding a [ in front of the dash but this seems like a bug.

Spotify API (not legay) slow changing song/cover-info

Spotify Legacy directly changes the Song info, but no cover is shown.
Spotify API needs 10-20sec for changing songinfo and cover.

Songify update extracting

Songify keeps extracting the update without updating. The update notification appears every time the computer is started with no option to turn off the notification.

Songify not working.

I signed into my twitch and Spotify on Songify and everything worked. I checked the auto-connect button, but every time the app closes and opens up again, it is signed out. The login to twitch button doesn't work, I have to log in manually which is a pain, and nothing sticks. I have to relog into every thing again, my twitch and Spotify. Is there something that I've done wrong? Or does it just not auto-connect every time you launch the app and you have to log in to everything again?

Song upload returns garbage if the uploaded title has some extended Unicode (ie. japanese) characters

For instance, the title:

monet - 在りし日のためにサクラノ詩 ヴォーカルCD

ended up with the song info URL returning:

monet - [ãµã¯ã©ãè©© ã´ã©ã¼ã«ã«CD CD1 #07] å¨ããæ¥ã®ããã«

(or something close to that). Guessing the problem is related to some encoding issues.

Erforderliches User level tauschen (VIP > SUB) [Under the German text, you will find an English text.]

Moin! Ist es evtl. möglich, indem man in einer Datei etwas tausch, VIP´s über Subs zu stellen? Weil aktuell stehen Subscriber über den VIPs und ich würde gerne, dass es umgekehrt ist, so dass VIPs, Moderatoren und der Streamer Songs anfordern können, "normale Zuschauer/Subscriber" jedoch nicht. Bzw. evtl. sogar, dass VIPs und Moderatoren Lieder kostenlos mit dem Command anfordern können, während normale Zuschauer/Subscriber das per Channelpoints tun müssen. Denn die VIPs/Mods sind die Leute, denen man vertraut, oder sogar persönlich kennt, während jeder abonnieren kann. Ansonsten bin ich extrem zufrieden mit Songify, vielen Dank für Ihre ganze Arbeit.

English:

Hello! Is it possible to put VIPs above subs by exchanging something in a file? Because currently subscribers are above the VIPs and I would like it to be the other way around, so that VIPs, presenters and the streamer can request songs, but "normal viewers/subscribers" cannot. Or maybe even that VIPs and presenters can request songs for free with the command, while normal viewers/subscribers have to do so via channel points. Because the VIPs/Mods are the people you trust, or even know personally, while anyone can subscribe. Otherwise, I'm extremely happy with Songify, thank you very much for all your work.

It's not linking and it's always crashing on this new version

It's not linking and it's always crashing on this new version

support for 32bits x86

not run the program, not has compatibility with windows x86

Songify won't open.

Running the program results in no application being started. Task manager reports nothing regarding the application either. :(

Suggestion for a small feature to add

be able to add {Requested} in the commands like !song to tell who requested it.

Would love if it detected when the song was paused/stopped

Would love if it detected when the song was paused/stopped and would auto clear the text files and make them empty.

Other than that its going good altho seems like the !song command isnt working could just be on my end but im not sure.

Yea

AppID not connecting...

Hi there,
I've been desperately looking for a way to get the song information from spotify on my obs stream.
After running in circles because all the other options were updating the song only when the song had ended I found Songify,
Feels like an awesome app, really was eager to try it
However...

I'm having a problem with linking through the spotify app

After creating the app, getting the client id and secret in songify, trying to link I keep getting this error page:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator at [email protected] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

I've searched around and have not found a way to solve this issue,
I tried multiple times, created another app, changed the secret...

Maybe I'm too much of a noob,
but I thought maybe someone here would have a solution?
Thank you for your time

Dot in Artist cuts off (foobar)

When a dot is in the Artist name it cuts off the string.

E.g.
Artist Name: s.d.s
Track Title: ngi

Only s.d. gets written down using the following output-format: {artist} - {title}

Tested only with foobar2000.

Custom String for !pos command

Disable Songify when stream is not live

Songify Chrashes when the output-path cannot be found

Hey,

I've updated my System from Win10 to Win11 and during this some pathes have changed as well the output-path for sonfigy. This leads to a songify-crash when I've started songify again and he didn't find the path again. As workaround I've just created the path again because I couldn't start songify again. Here the important part from the crash-log:

Reproducing:

• delete the output-path

Expected Behaviour:

• Information about the wrong path
