Monstercat OBS Connector

Monstercat is an awesome EDM publishing label that has a great relationship with gamers and streamers. For a very reasonable price you can stream Monstercat artists' music in your Twitch / YouTube streams with their Monstercat Gold program.

OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) Studio is a popular streaming program.

Now you can add the name of the currently playing track from Monstercat.com to a ticker in your OBS stream with this one simple hack!

This connector uses Tampermonkey to inject some JavaScript in the Monstercat.com player, and send the name of the currently playing track to OBS, so you can display in in your stream.

Watch me code the whole thing start to finish, and get it working in my stream.

Or just set it up for yourself:

To Use

Configure the password in OBS "Tools > WebSockets Server Plugin".

Add a Source to your scene of Type "Text (FreeType 2)" (Make sure you note the name of your source for the configuration of the connector).
