Notes

1. The script has not been tested on macOS and Windows, please report if you have issues.

2. It is recommended to use a fixed-width font for the OSD with this script, to keep text formating from configuration files.

Examples:

• DejaVu Sans Mono
• Liberation Mono
• Menlo
• Monaco
• Consolas
• Courier New

3. If you cannot see some lines on the OSD, you can ajust the number of lines to display at once in the script, e.g.:

display_lines = 28
