When the discord desktop app is not running I get the following errors:

Apr 27 19:32:18 archlinux mpd-discord-rpc[49581]: 2025-04-27T17:32:18.685232Z  INFO mpd_discord_rpc: starting drpc client

It seems as if the ipc channel (/run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0) is not present when discord is not running but the client expects that.

@JakeStanger commented on GitHub (Jun 22, 2025):

The client attempts to reconnect every 5 seconds until the IPC is running, this is working as expected.
