to piggyback on this, the ability to insert the information stored in a .txt file would be awesome. I use a media player called Foobar2000 (you can also use winamp and more) and a plugin called AIMP. What AIMP does is spits out your current song being played and track etc into a single string in a .txt file. You could then use that .txt to display this info in a marquee-style on other applications such as xsplit, OSB etc. You simply save the .txt anywhere on your PC. The format is as follows:
Code: Select all
 $num(%_playlist_number%,3). [%artist% - ]$if(%title%,['['%album%[ #[%disc%/]$num(%tracknumber%,2)]'] ']%title%,%_filename_ext%)


This seems to me like it would be very easy to implement, and give the ability to set font type etc just like a custom text box does in GOverlay. Or, in the custom text properties menu add something like "enable remote text file" and you simply type in the file location on your system to direct it to that .txt

I can make a short video to show you how it works if that would better help explain?

There would need to be a plugin to read that but with GOverlay you can read .ini files, cant it save it as a .ini file? if that works, then you can use it with GOverlay out of the box.

I figured out how to output AIMP data into a .ini, how would I display that with GOverlay? I have the ini destination set to the .ini file.
