Hi @autominded !

Thanks for suggesting new features. That's always welcome!

show current & the next song to be played in a txt file.

I'm wondering what format of this text file would be. Can you point to an example or perhaps to other programs that provide this feature?

Hi Juanrubio, Thanks for taking a notice. Let me explain who would use it:

  1. There is a large community of people who use OBS studio to broadcast to Live YouTube/Twitch/Facebook etc They use Spotify or VLC to play music locally, however they have to use additional plugins in OBS to fetch the name of the Song playing as most of the Players dont output this as a feature. The users usually tend to use this feature and overlay this on top of their stream.
  2. All YouTube Deep House Channels basically use OBS and somekind of plugin like OBS - TUNA which allows them to fetch this name.

It would be an awesome feature to have in Ubuntu, as this player would directly output the name of the Song currently playing in one file, and in other the next songs and the other maybe previous song. The format can be a simple .txt file you can check out Tuna Plugin or Nowplaying plugins made for OBS.
