Hi,

I’m using Nightbot’s song requests with the “Now Playing” text file (np.txt) feature to show song info in OBS. Right now I’m able to use variables like {{title}}, {{artist}}, and {{duration}} without issues.

However, I’d like to also display the requester’s name (who added the song), but I can’t find the correct variable. I tried {{requester}}, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Also are there any other variables I should know about? I tried looking through the doc but didn’t see, would nice to have a time left duration of the song that is playing.
