Now playing triggers

Song changed

Runs when a new song starts in your music player or on Spotify. Great for a "Now playing: …" message in chat. Tick "Watch what plays" on the Music page first.

Setting What to put in
Player Only react to one player: type part of its name, like spotify or vlc. Leave it empty to react to every player.

Variables you get

Variable What it holds
%title% The song's name, like "Never Gonna Give You Up"
%artist% Who sings or plays it, like "Rick Astley" (several artists are joined with commas)
%album% The album the song is on (empty when the player does not say)
%player% The player it plays in, like Spotify, VLC or Firefox
%artUrl% A link to the cover picture, when the player gives one
%duration% How long the song is, in seconds (0 when unknown)
%durationText% How long the song is, written like 3:45
%link% A web link to the song (Spotify songs only)
%source% "system" for a player on this computer, "spotify" for your Spotify account
%nowPlaying.title% The same values again with nowPlaying. in front, so the same message works with the "Get now playing" step
