Walkthrough

Keep an on-screen "now playing" label in sync with Spotify.

How it works

  1. On Schedule fires once a minute (*/1 * * * *).
  2. Spotify: Now Playing asynchronously queries the current track. The flow awaits Spotify's response before continuing.
  3. OBS: Set Text writes the track title into your Now Playing source.

A simple async query-then-act loop. The Now Playing node also returns the artist and progress if you want a richer label. See Spotify: Now Playing and OBS: Set Text.
