Wish i could do this myself but i am no programmer so
What i would like is a plugin that writes the currently playing song info to a text file and when the next track starts it just overwrites the info in that file.
I know this is all in the tracklist.txt file but it has all songs, I only need the currently playing song.
I want to use this to display in my video broadcast on chew.tv maybe there is a simpler way but i don't know it :-)
also I know this could be done with the video plugins but I am not broadcasting video from VDJ and would rather not since I am only mixing audio files. I was trying with the audioonlyeffect set to title but it only works properly if the video window is displayed and i do not have a second monitor to do that.
any help would be greatly appreciated thanks for reading :-)

options : broadcastSongInfo
does that not do it? I can't test.

Well it has a API, so I imagine it's possible.

when ever the video window is minimized the title effect doesn't function and since I have only one monitor I can't keep it in the way :-)
maybe that's a bug I don't know but that's how it is.
thanks for trying to help :-)
