OBS Studio Integration 📺

OSMV integrates seamlessly with OBS Studio to display both the animated music overlay widget and the dynamic clock text.


🎨 Adding the Music Widget (Browser Source)

The music widget uses a local HTML file to display the current track’s album cover, title, artist, and status with beautiful CSS animations.

Step-by-step Setup:

  1. Click the + icon in the Sources box of OBS Studio.
  2. Select Browser (Navigateur).
  3. Name the source (e.g., “OSMV Music”).
  4. In the properties window:
    • Check the Local file (Fichier local) box.
    • Click Browse and select shared/index.html from your OSMV folder.
    • Set Width (Largeur) to 500.
    • Set Height (Hauteur) to 140.
  5. Click OK.

⏰ Adding the Clock (Text Source)

If you have the Time Module enabled, OSMV writes the formatted local time to a text file.

Step-by-step Setup:

  1. Click the + icon in the Sources box of OBS Studio.
  2. Select Text (GDI+) on Windows or Text (FreeType 2) on Linux.
  3. Name the source (e.g., “OSMV Clock”).
  4. In the properties window:
    • Check the Read from file (Lire depuis un fichier) box.
    • Click Browse and choose shared/dynamic_text/Time.txt from your OSMV folder.
  5. Click OK.

[!TIP] For best text quality, configure a large font size (e.g., 72pt) in the source properties, and then resize the source bounds directly on the OBS preview screen to fit your scene.
