History Fix & Global Error Logging

New:

• Added global exception handling. If Songify crashes on you the log should help us see why!

Fixed:

• History Window won't crash anymore
• Changed the way the player selection gets stored, should work without issues now
• Removing single artists from the blacklist didn't save, it does now.
• If there were no artists in the blacklist there would still be an empty row in the datagrid, this is also gone now

Widget & Fixes

New:

• You now can display the requester in the output. Right click the output-format textbox and you can add 'Requester'. Everything contained within {{ and }} will only be displayed when the current song is a requested song. For example: {artist} - {title} {{requested by @{req}}} will output San Holo - don't forget to breathe today requested by @inzaniity This is useful to see who requested the current playing song in Twitch chat.
• Album Cover will now be deleted if no song is playing
• A new widget tool to have a nice browser source widget in your stream! Click on File -> Widget and customize the widget the way you like! Make a new browser source and paste the link that is displayed under the widget to get it on stream!

(Example)

Fixed:

• Songify now remembers the last selected player
• Songify won't crash when trying to add a nonexistend artist to the blacklist
• Album covers will now always download covers, given the setting is enabled
• Song Requests via Twitch won't get added multiple times to the queue
• Song fetches via Spotify Web API weren't accurate enough
• Song Requets now work even though Spotify was on pause for a long time (saving device ID)
• Fixed Song history issue with non-german Windows OS
• Sorting the queue window would cause the queue to not update
• Fixed double space in output string if {extra} was empty. You now don't have to put spaces for scrolling in the output. We decided to hardcode 10 spaces in
• Fixed size not being correct after popups were displayed
• Songify now remembers where it was and starts at the same location. Child windows will also start on the same location as the main window
• Some minor internal changes to cleanup the code a tiny bit

Version 1.2.1 - Song Request Bug Fix

Fixes:

• Once the songs in queue ran out, the application wouldn't detect any new songs until the queue was emptied manually.

    • either by using the song URI (Spotify -> Rightclick Song -> Share -> Copy Song URI) or by typing Artist - Title

Song History & More Players

New

• Song History
  • Songify can now keep track of your tracks! There is a new button in the title bar in which you can enable the history. It also creates a "history.shl" file which is basically a XML file that you can open with any editor. The history creates new entries for each day to keep things clean.
• Support for VLC, foobar2000 and Deezer(web)
  • You can now select VLC, foobar2000 or Deezer in the player selection. (VLC and foobar local, Deezer as web/Chrome like youtube)

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where songs that contain " wouldn't upload.

Changes

• Removed all text from the titlebar buttons
• removed all icons in the player selection
• Added tooltips to all titlebar buttons

Notes

• The online history is just a "naked" table, design comes whenever I feel to do it. But it at least converts to your local timezone
• Made this version to be 1.1.0 instead of 1.0.10. Else it messes up with the updater. 🤷‍♂️

v1.0.9

New

• Chrome custom timer
  • You can set your own timer rate. Settings -> System
• Logs
  • If the software encounters any issues a log file called currentdate.log will be created in the same directory. For example: 05-14-2019.log

Fixes

• YouTube (Chrome)
  • Fixed an issue where "- Youtube" would always be at the end
  • If you experience heavy CPU Usage on Chrome is, try increasing the timer rate in the settings.
• Song-Upload
  • Fixed an issue where the song wouldn't upload after a few successful tries

Changes

• Config
  • Changed the way the config files are written and read. When the software shuts down a hidden config.xml file will be written and on start, the same file will be read. This is so updating becomes more convenient in case the old "just override the exe file" wasn't working properly

Hotfix

• Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that prevents the software from working when the Songify.txt wasn't present or was empty
  • Fixed a bug that crashed the software when unchecking "Upload Song Info"

• Streamlabs:
  • {readapi.URL}
• Streamelements:
  • ${customapi.URL}
• Moobot:
  • Response -> URL fetch - Full (plain) response, URL to Fetch -> URL
