Free Songify (Spotify Now Playing & Song Requests) v1.7.0.1

What's Changed 1.3.9​

Songify App​

• Added Twitch Login through Twitch API as well as PubSub (Twitch Event Listener).
  • In order to Login with twitch click on Twitch -> Twitch Login or Settings -> Twitch -> Login With Twitch (this will redirect you to a webpage where you have to grant access)
  • After you logged in you can check Settings -> Twitch and see your connection
  • This does not replace the Twitch Chat Login with Account Name, OAuth Token and Channel Name. You still have to set that up too! (Logging in with Twitch will fill out those fields for you, but if you want to use a different account you have to change it manually)
  • You can also now refund points if something fails (Twitch -> Rewards -> Refund when...)
    • In order to refund, a new Channel Point Reward has to be made through Songify! To do this head over to Settings -> Twitch -> Rewards -> Create New Reward. This is a limitation on Twitch's end. Make sure you chose a unique name for the reward. After creating the reward your Rewards page will automatically open. You can see if Songify can manage the reward by the pencil icon in the dropdown of the rewards.
    • It's now possible to track whether the stream is live or not. That way it's possible to limit all Twitch actions (sr, chat commands, auto announce etc.) to only work when the stream is up. If Songify has been started while the stream is live, it won't detect it. You can click on Twitch -> Check Online Status.
• The config file (config.xml) is not being used anymore. On first startup with the config file present the app will now create 4 new config files called AppConfig.yaml, SpotifyCredentials.yaml, TwitchCredentials.yaml and BotConfig.yaml. These will now be the standard config files since I want to split tokens and credentials from other configs.
• Added a web server that can be configured in Settings -> Web Server.
  • The web server exposes data of the current playing song in JSON. This can be used to make custom song displays in OBS using browser sources.
• Added a 5 seconds cooldown on !voteskip after a song has been skipped to prevent accidental voting for the new song if the votes came in too fast
• Added indicators that show if services are connected or not. These are in the bottom left of the main window and show a red triangle if a service is not connected. Services are: Twitch Chat Bot, Twitch API, Twitch PubSubs, Spotify and WebServer
• Added custom response for !next and !pos
• Added a console window that can be opened by clicking View -> Console.
  • The console window shows (for now) only a handful of events.
  • The console window can be attached/detached by clicking the icon on the top left of the console window
• Added a setting to receive beta updates. This can be found in Settings -> Config
• Added the ability to change the command triggers. You can now rename commands to whatever you want. This can be found in the bot configuration.
• Added a 5-times retry on adding a song request to the Spotify queue. This is due to Spotify having a lot of 503 issues lately...
• Added the option to disable the song request limit
• Added a channel reward option to skip the current song (this is optional)
• Added back in telemetry. The data is still anonymous and only used for statistics. I do want to know how many people are using the app after all.
• The Settings window has been redesigned
• Moved the !ssr command to the bot configuration
• Removed the progress.txt file since it caused issues. The proper way to do it now is to use the data from the webserver.
• Fixed Album Cover download crash on certain circumstances (hopefully)
• Fixed !next command not working properly
• Fixed an issue that reverted the "use own app" setting after an update
• Fixed artist blocklist not saving correctly when the result contains more than one artist
• Fixed user blocklist comparison check. It was case sensitive before, now its case insensitive
• Fixed VLC not properly fetching
• Fixed a crash that would occur if the output directory has been set in the app and it got deleted afterward. It now shows a prompt and reverts back to the app directory if the output directory can't be found
• Fixed settings getting corrupt after a PC crash or power outage
• The Spanish translation has been improved by @elhertz

Songify Website​

• Overhauled the website to make it more user friendly
• The queue page now shows the current song and the queue in a fancier way and also updates in real-time
• Moved to a new hosting provider. This should make the website faster and more reliable
• URL changed to songify.overcode.tv the old URL will be redirected. Older versions of Songify won't be able to connect to the website anymore.

Songify Widget​

• The widget won't work with older versions of Songify since the web server has been changed.

​

What's Changed 1.3.9.1​

• Added checks for live stream status on every command trigger. Before it only checked if Songify was running and the stream went live afterward. It will now check before every command execution (!song, !next, channel points, etc.) if the stream is up.
• Added a new option in Settings -> Twitch -> "Send offline notification to chat"
  • Enabling this will send a message to chat if the stream is offline. The option to limit Twitch activity has to be enabled for this. It just responds with "The stream is not live right now".
• At the bottom of the main window, it will now tell you if the stream is offline and actions have been canceled
• Changed the icon for the web server to be gray if the server is offline since it's not crucial for Songify.
• The port range on the web server settings has been set to 1025 - 66535

1.3.8​

What's Changed​

• Fixed an issue where it would put the wrong value in the error message when the max requests per user are reached. It now will output the correct number and max amount for the user's user level. For example @Username maximum number of songs in queue reached (Vip 3).
• Fixed an issue where Songify would render as a black window and was unresponsive until opened from the system tray again
• Fixed an issue where the min required user level would not display correctly in the settings window
• Fixed an issue where the patchnotes would not show
• Added the ability to set the amounts of votes for skipping a song
• Added !voteskip command for regulars, number of votes can be adjusted (Settings -> Integration -> Configure Bot Responses & Commands)
• Changed phrasing on the Twitch user level from "Everyone" to "Viewer (non vip/sub)" because it caused some confusion
• Removed the Menu entry "Twitch -> Bot Config -> Configure Bot Responses & Commands" and moved the onClick function to just "Bot Config" MenuItem

1.3.7​

• Fixed output format for twitch not working with requester info ({{requested by {req}}})

1.3.6​

• Added a secondary output format just for Twitch chat. This output will get sent to Twitch chat when the !song command is used.
  • Added {url} parameter to the right-click menu for output format (this adds the Spotify link of the current song)
• Added Song request user level restriction e.g. only subs and above or only VIPs and above can request songs. You can choose between Everyone, VIP, Subscriber, Moderator, and Broadcaster
• Added a cooldown to the skip command (5 seconds)
• Added a new window under File -> Patch Notes. It displays the patch notes for the current and all past versions.
• Added the ability to set the max song request limit for each user based on the user level. For example, you can now set everyone ( regulars ) to be able to only request 1 song at a time, VIPs 3, subs 5, and so on. The broadcaster has been removed entirely from the limit. Go to Settings -> Songify SR.
• Added an update screen with patch notes after the app updated
• Fixed an issue with the skip command (requester could skip everything)
• Fixed an issue where the position of the window wouldn't be saved correctly
• Moved error handling to App.cs instead of MainWindow.cs. This way logs should get created even when the app fails to start correctly.

1.3.5​

• Added a !skip command.
  • Broadcaster / Moderators and the person who requested the current song can skip immediately. Regulars will start a vote of 5 to skip the song. Votes will be reset on song change.
  • Added bot responses for the !skip command
• Added an option to open the queue window on startup
• Changed the way that the columns are spaced in the queue window
• Switched old Patreon links to Ko-Fi
• Bot responses now will be saved
• Fixed bot response toggles in Settings not being displayed correctly
• Fixed issues with progress saving
• Fixed an issue where the config export would open twice
• Fixed an issue where with foobar it would cut off the output if it has multiple . in it. (#30)
• Fixed a bug that made it possible to connect to twitch multiple times resulting in duplicate messages and song requests

1.3.4​

• Added a message box that pops up when the software crashes, it can open the log file directory
• Fixed Progress.txt file save location & related crash

1.3.3​

• Fixed an issue with the config being stored in wrong case format
• Removed desktop notifications for Twitch disconnect

What's Changed​

• Added progress bar setup guide for obs by @karimawii in #29
• Fixed crashes related to Twitch Auto reconnect
• Fixed different time formats in log files
• Changed the way settings are written and read (The Theme setting will reset to default, which is the light mode, fixed a typo...)
• Moved Progressbar related files to a new folder called Progress

Why this is the final update on Songify 1.x
This is the final update to Songify 1.x because we want to focus on 2.0 which we want to build from scratch. We do this in order to have an app that is maintainable, sustainable, and extensible. We have a lot of planned features but at this time we don't have any planned release date. Development takes its time, especially if you consider, that Songify is just a free-time project of two friends. If you want to keep up with the development, feel free to join our Discord.


Changes:
Additions:

• Added a selection to the blocked Artists when adding a new one
• Added an option to set the max song length in minutes
• Added Edge (Chromium) as supported Browser for Youtube
• Added Opera Browser as supported Browser for Youtube
• Added more Bot-Responses
• Added Bot-Commands
  • !song -> Displays the current song in chat
  • !pos -> Displays the queue positions of the user's song requests
  • !next -> Displays the next song in the queue
• Added an option to automatically announce the current song in chat when the song changes
• Added Russian, French and Spanish translations (using deepL)

Removals:

• Removed Nightbot support since we now need proper oAuth to access the API. Too much work for 1.x

Fixes:

• Songify now won't use up 100% of your CPU in certain scenarios
• SplitOutput now works as intended
• Improved error logging upon unhandled exception
• Made Youtube via Chrome significantly better in performance
• Renamed Youtube (Chrome) and Deezer (Chrome) to Youtube (Browser) and Deezer (Browser). The code automatically detects which browser is used: The first browser found will be used, the order is Chrome -> Edge -> Opera.
• Changed the way VLC and Foobar getting fetched. There were issues when the name of the file was not in a specific format.
• Changed SettingsWindow to be wider to fit for all languages
• The Save-Button in Settings / Spotify is gone (thankfully)

This Version fixes a crash that can occur when the Album Cover is used in OBS and on some rare occasions it just crashes randomly when trying to save / display the album cover. The Cover now gets downloaded to a temporary file and then the old one gets overwritten with the new file. This is a better approach instead of downloading to the same file over and over again because the old way sometimes leaves the albom cover in OBS weirdly artifacted.

Added

• Autoupdater (Songify now updates automatically!)
• User-Blacklist. Stop poeple from requesting songs
• German Translation (more will come soon)
• Custom Bot-Responses. You can now change Bot-Messages for the following events:
  • Artist is blocked
  • Song is already in queue
  • Max number of songs per user reached
  • Song is longer than 10 minutes (this number is still hardcoded)
  • Error fetching songdata
  • Song added successfully

Removed
--

Fixed

• It was possible to run multiple instances of Songify, this is not the case anymore
• Songify now starts minimized (systray) if its enabled (thanks @SHWotever)
• As per request we changed the trailing whitespaces to be optional (enabled by default). You can now set the amount of spaces and if they should be added in the first place.
• Songify no longer stores settings in %localappdata%/Jan_Blomacher. From now on Songify settings will be stored in %localappdata%/Songify.Rocks.
