When i use Snip with VLC and hover over the snip icon it shows the song in the taskbar, but it doesnt want to write it into the file

Do you plan to support AIMP as well? It would be great IMO, I am mainly using spotify, but sometimes I listen to music in AIMP and then I cannot use snip for it.

On Windows 10, Snip does not detect that Spotify is running and a song is playing. When it finally does know Spotify is running, it continues to say No Track Playing even though I have a track playing.

I can't get the snip_artwork to show album art for spoitfy. I've tried running it in admin mode just to test and it doesn't work there either.

That's about it, actually.

When a song changes using Spotify )Version: 0.9.0.133.gd18ed589) the Snip_Artwork file does not update. Instead, it switches to the Snip_Blank.jpg. I have to close Snip and re-open it for it to update the Snip_Artwork.jpg.

It almost sounds like it might not be getting the URL from the meta in time so it defaults to Snip_Blank. I haven't looked at your code, but that is my first guess.

Besides that, this piece of software is awesome! Using it on my Twitch.TV stream :)

I'm using the latest iTunes (12.1.2.27) and Snip (4.60)

While I can get the track and artist to show up when playing, I can't get the album to show. Thanks for any help

I am not the typical user of your app. I have visual studio and I think it is doing something funky with the .exe file because I can not find it anywhere. What should I do? thank you!

Hello, Snip is crashing on launch for me on Windows 8 without any error messages. I am not getting this crash on my Windows 7 machine. Let me know if I can provide any other information.

This is the output for me in Event Viewer:

Application: Snip.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

I've tried everything, running as admin, restarting my pc, restarting spotify, redownloading snip, resetting snip settings and the same song is always on the album artwork and snip.txt

“Left Hand Free - Live from Lido, Berlin” ― alt-J

Always this song, I even activated song history and when I change song this damn song repeats itself in the song history file when I change song.

Snip is no longer compatible with the new spotify

Everything is up-to-date (Snip, iTunes and OBS) and despite having Snip set to iTunes as per the instructions, and having the Snip file selected as text in OBS. I'm not having any text show up in my OBS. Can you check to see if everything is working? The Snip.txt file is blank no matter what. What's going on?

When listening to Radio within iTunes the album artwork is never successfully captured. Not sure if it's not referenced in the same way or if there's a delay in fetching the artwork. From what I can tell you only check for artwork when the user hits play or next track, that may be too soon.

Thanks!
Ryan

I can't for the love of god find a way to save the text file(s) to another location other than the same place as the exe file.

In the latest version at time of writing (v5.0.1, last commit 06c9f7a), when the Spotify artwork resolution is changed in the taskbar, the track must be changed before it is redownloaded. In the pre-release versions, it automatically got redownloaded.

The first time launching the program a Microsoft .Net Error. I am a person who only knows Java, PHP, Html, JSON, YAML. Here are the detailes. See the end of this message for details on invoking

Can you please fix it.

Issue is as the title says.

The album art is set to a 1x1 image, Snip.txt updates with the artist and title perfectly fine, however Snip_Album.txt, Snip_Artist.txt and Snip_Track.txt all retain whatever values they had prior to the song being played, whether that be empty or the details of the previous track.

has the software changed because i cant find the snip.txt file in the folder i downloaded

I recently downloaded Snip v5.1.0 and unzipped the file. Then when i click the Snip.exe file something pops up on my computer and says "This app can't run on your PC." It says to find a version that works check with software publisher. I don't know if there is an easy way to do this. I don't know a ton about computers. I have windows 10. My computer isn't even a year old so I don't know what is wrong. If there is some other information you need I will happily provide it.

Thanks

Every once in awhile Snip will throw an exception related to iTunes. It appears to be related to already having iTunes running when you start Snip. If this is the case it may be better to display a message saying that you need to shut down iTunes before running Snip to ensure that the iTunes COM library properly gets loaded.

I want to be able to make the display in the main text file Artist: Song (Album)
Maybe make another text filed in the config that allows you to do this?

When do you think that a new version will be released? Whenever I try to launch it, I just get error after error, similar (if not the exact same) to the other open thread. Thanks!

So the problem is in the file String.txt on line 31 where something strange happening when no track playing it does not display. I fixed this by making a program in ruby XD but fix this please don`t want to start a third program to fix this.

When Using itunes on windows 7 pro songs that dont have album artwork will not output to the file snip reports no song playing for those particular songs I am running the most recent version of iTunes as of 6-25-14 hope just noticed this only happens when songs don't have information for every single item such as song title artist name album name and album artist

I was using the Medium setting for Keep Spotify Album Artwork

Love Snip, love Spotify!

Yesterday my premium went away (temp), since I forgot to pay for premium service. Just noticed today that as soon as ads (audio ads) are starting on Spotify I get an error and if ignored (and closed AFTER the audio ad is done) nothing happens, otherwise Snip killed.

I can attach a screen for you if needed
Otherwise I don't know what info you might need from my end

I probably wont get the error anymore when fixing the premium again, but if it's fixable for others if might be a good thing

Dunno if attachment or text info helps that much since it's in Swedish but here it is :)

************** JIT-felsökning **************
För att aktivera JIT-felsökning (just-in-time ) måste .config-filen för det här

Tillämpningsprogrammet måste också vara kompilerat med felsökning

Till exempel:

När JIT-felsökning är aktiverad kommer alla undantag som inte hanteras
att skickas till JIT-felsökaren som är registrerad på datorn

I've noticed that when using the default values for formats the initial space for the separator format gets stripped out.

Once the value is loaded from the ResourceManager it gets saved to the registry, and all future changes load/save to the registry. So if you edit the space back in then it will appear from then on.

I do not strip this space out in any of the code so I'm wondering if it's something that the ResourceManager is doing when it loads the value from the resource file.

I'll need to find another solution if that's the case. I don't want to hardcode spaces so that users have the choice to customize how it looks.

Hey,
I have recently been trying to use Snip for OBS as I would like to start live streaming in the near future. On the first time start-up, it worked completely fine but every single time after it just crashes as soon as I click on .exe. I was wondering if you could help me come up with a solution for this as I have tried downloading it again but it did not prevail.

So I'm trying to use the 4.6 release with the most current xsplit version.

Below is the Error message I am receiving. Thanks for the help!

I have been through the readme several times and made sure every option is set up as stated in the Winamp section, including the formatting. Snip is correctly generating the Snip.txt file to read Title - Artist. However, nothing I do in Output Format has any effect on anything. If I add characters, quotes, spaces, change the separator, whatever, nothing changes. I can even delete every line in Output Format, leaving everything blank, and upon saving, still nothing changes in the way Snip.txt is being generated.

In addition to that, Snip_Album.txt, Snip_Artist.txt, and Snip_Track.txt remain empty (Save Information Separately is checked in Snip).

I've tried shutting down and restarting everything after making changes, to no avail.

I'm not sure what I can be doing wrong. The readme file is very simple to follow.

I'm using Winamp v5.63 (x86), Windows 7, and Snip v5.1.0.

Any suggestions? I'm happy to provide more information if needed.

I was checking the spotify artwork that's stored and the same album artwork is appearing multiple times for multiple albums.

It appears to be using the track href rather than the album href.

Hi and thanks for your work on Snip, it's awesome :)

So I'm using Spotify with playlists containing online tracks but also personnal ones, stored on my computer. Two things I wanted to share with you :

• For now, Snip can't retrieve and save the album cover from a local music file ran through Spotify.
• Spotify album names refuse to show up, even in Snip_Album.txt. Works perfectly with iTunes tho.

Here you go, hoping it can help you improve even more this nice little piece of soft ^^

when I try to download snip it appears as a 7z file rather than an EXE?

I'm using Windows 10 Pro x64 and I keep getting "Invalid JSON string" errors from Microsoft.NET Framework. How do you make it stop? I'll post the error message below, but it's in Swedish since I'm using the swedish lanuage.

I have tried running the software as administrator but when i launch spotify this error message pops up.

install might have gone bad. when i first ran the application i did not have Spotify installed or running. Any suggestions will help.

when i reach your page the download links don't show up normal like in youtube tutorials. I click it and the file is not downloaded as a .zip file. How do i fix that??

Windows 10 Home (64bit)

Snip v5.0.5 / WinAmp v5.65

The output settings don't work properly. The input is saved in the registry and loaded on start, but there are no changes whatsoever. It uses the standard format instead.

Also the option so save the song information seperately doesn't work, it simply writes a single space char.

Otherwise the current track and artist is displayed as given by WinAmp.

This is a fantastic little program, so thank you for taking the time to write it!

The program occasionally doesn't update the currently playing song or artwork, and the tooltip for Snip says "Spotify isn't running." (Or something similar, I'm pulling this from my memory) It seems random, and closing Spotify and reopening it works. If there's anything else I can provide, let me know.

Snip v5.1.0
Spotify 1.0.13.108.gcd94e7db

How does Snip detect Spotify is running?

Usually Snip is pretty good about wiping out the contents of the image and text files, but when this "event" occurs, it seems Snip isn't wiping the contents.

Since release new version of iTunes 11.0.2. Snip has stopped to updating track informations. Can you look at that?

Hi,

I'm new to GitHub and have no idea how to contribute code, or if permissions allow for it for this project, but here is my fix for "Emtpy File If No Track Playing" when "Save Information Separately" is set as the selected option.

In TextHandler.cs, change the "UpdateTextAndEmptyFile" method to the following code:

        public static void UpdateTextAndEmptyFile(string text)
        {
            if (Globals.DebuggingIsEnabled)
            {
                Debug.MeasureMethod(SetNotifyIconText, text);
            }
            else
            {
                SetNotifyIconText(text);
            }

            if (File.Exists(@Application.StartupPath + @"\Snip.txt"))
            {
                File.WriteAllText(@Application.StartupPath + @"\Snip.txt", string.Empty);
            }
            if (File.Exists(@Application.StartupPath + @"\Snip_Artist.txt"))
            {
                File.WriteAllText(@Application.StartupPath + @"\Snip_Artist.txt", string.Empty);
            }
            if (File.Exists(@Application.StartupPath + @"\Snip_Track.txt"))
            {
                File.WriteAllText(@Application.StartupPath + @"\Snip_Track.txt", string.Empty);
            }
        }

Have a nice one guys and keep up the great work!

Snip only work with song that has picture on the song on itune if the song does not have a picture snip does not detect it! Thit is a big issue.

So I just downgraded to Spotify 0.9.15.27.xxxxx and so far everything runs stable.
But nevertheless, Snip won't save the Spotify Artwork correctly. Snip is set up correctly ("Save Album Artwork") and the file Snip_Artwork is created. The file is completely empty and thus can't be displayed in OBS.
Does someone has any idea how to fix that?

Another problem: Snip recognizes the title as "Spotify - Title - Artist". Anyway to get "Spotify" out of there? :)

First of all thanks for the quick fix (#40).
Second.... I'm kinda new to Github, and dunno if this would fit as an issue or request. Don't know of any support forums for Snip either so...... here we go.

Is there a way to actually save the settings made in Snip or do I have to do it al over each time I need to reboot the computer?

I have Snip set up in autostart but every time I reboot the previous settings are gone. See image! The one on the left is my setting and the one on the right is the default setting that keeps popping up on reboot.

I use Spotify + Snip to present kind of a "Now Playing" -signature, using the separate text files for artist, song and album +cover art, auto-syncing them to my host via FTP and then present it (with a bit of coding)...

When the settings is changed upon reboot I lose that signature aswell, since Snip then wont write the info in the separate files anymore... til I change it back.

Any help is appreciated
