Streamling Overlay app: Whatever Music's Playing

Streamling Overlay for your stream: share whatever you're playing · By Pengo Wray

Option to ignore certain sources?

Hi, this was the easiest way I could find to add my Deezer now-playing into my overlay. However, it seems to automatically prioritize Chrome sources, which is not ideal especially when it changes to Twitch while I'm prepping to raid.  Can there please be an option to automatically ignore certain sources, or a priority source option? Thanks.

I'd also like to add that this has been crashing every few minutes while I'm using it and there's no popup or indication of a crash until I notice the overlay not updating, which is not ideal for obvious reasons.  Does this app output crash logs anywhere?

Hiya Madame Berry,
There's no way to ignore specific sources currently, but you can stop your browser being picked up by turning off "media controls" (in your browser). For instructions google something like "turn off media controls chrome". Doing this will also stop the browser hijacking your media controls (play/pause) when you're using deezer etc, but will also stop Streamling from picking up youtube titles etc.

I did originally plan to add some way to ignore specific sources/apps (or browsers generally), but it's still on the to-do list.

The silent crashes have been a problem and, yeah, I need to add better logging to get to the bottom of it. I noticed it crashes more when CPU usage is high but I don't know why that should be. Lately it hasn't crashed for me at all for me over many hours (which also makes debugging harder). I rarely stream these days so haven't been highly motivated to make many updates but I like to work on it occasionally.

I'd say there are no crash logs except I found some once that I think Windows makes automatically. If you can track them down I'll take a look.

Also I should mention Streamling doesn't specifically prioritize Chrome or anything else, but rather prioritizes the loudest source.

Hope that helps somewhat

It always seemed to prioritize what was playing in Chrome, even if I had that at 1% and Deezer at literally anything.
The media controls thing worked though!  Thank you!
