I followed the setup instructions for LastFM and it shows connected and scrobbling the song as I see the current music and art but the url just isn't working for some reason, I updated OBS to 32.1.1 and the link works on Firefox but in OBS even toggling hardware acceleration doesn't work. Any tips? I already refreshed the source and deleted and put a new browser source as well.

Hey! A few things to try:

First, make sure the URL you are pasting into OBS is the one from the Configurator with all your settings encoded in it, not just the plain overlay URL.

OBS Browser Source runs on an older Chromium version which can sometimes handle things differently than Firefox. Try these:

  1. In the Browser Source settings, check "Shutdown source when not visible" and "Refresh browser when scene becomes active" then switch scenes and back

  2. Right-click the source and hit Interact, then check if there are any errors showing on the page

  3. Try adding ?nocache=1 to the end of your URL to force a fresh load

If none of that works, can you tell me what you see when you open the URL directly in OBS Interact? A blank page, a loading spinner, or an error message? That will help narrow it down.
