Change the Twitch command from !track to !song?

The Twitch commands are all read directly from files. So copying one file to another is an easy way to add commands:

  1. Copy the Documents/NowPlaying/templates/twitchbot_track.txt file to twitchbot_song.txt

  2. Restart What’s Now Playing

  3. Go into Twitch Chat settings and set the permissions as required.

Change the time Twitch announcements happen?

Under Settings -> Twitch Chat there is an ‘Announce Delay’ field that takes number of seconds to wait before announcing to chat. To things to keep in mind:

  1. It takes partial seconds, so .5 would be half of a second.

  2. This delay is in addition to the write delay under General. Therefore if Write Delay is 5 seconds and Twitch Chat Announce Delay is 5 seconds, it should be approximately 10 seconds from the track being switched out before the message goes out.

Put artist biographies in Twitch chat?

  1. Enable Twitchbot

  2. Enable one of the Artist Extras that supports biographies.

  3. If your track metadata only has artist and title, you may need to Enable Recognition

  4. Edit your Twitch Chat announce template to include either {{ artistshortbio }} or {{ artistlongbio }}

  5. Restart What’s Now Playing

Put artist graphics on my OBS/SLOBS/SE.Live/etc?

Configure a Browser Source for your scene and put in one of the Supported URLs that is listed on the Webserver page.

Stop autoposting the track info in Twitch chat?

  1. Under Settings -> Twitch Chat, set the announce template to be empty.

  2. Save
