Hello, I am using 1.9.0 from the AUR and setting the display_type value in my config doesn't seem to have any effect on the actual status text. I have tried all three values and they all output the same text.

Here is my config file:

id = 677226551607033903
hosts = ["localhost:6600"]

[format]
details = "$title"
state = "by $artist, on $album"
timestamp = "both"
large_image = "notes"
small_image = ""
large_text = ""
small_text = ""
display_type = "details"

The output status (remains the same with any value of display_type):

Also, how do you configure the program to display artist and album on separate lines like in the preview image? I couldn't find an option for that. Thanks!

display_type controls the status shown under your name in the member list panel, not in the profile.

Also, how do you configure the program to display artist and album on separate lines like in the preview image?

You can use the large_text property for this.

Thanks! Sorry, I wasn't aware discord used different text for the member list panel and profile; I had a status set so it didn't show. I appreciate the help, sorry for such a simple question.
