I'm probably the one at fault here, but I cannot get this or any other RPC integration to work. I have tried it with both
discordanddiscord-canaryfrom the AUR. I am using the default configuration.Output:
The mode switches when I play/pause mpd, as expected.
Am I missing some setup in Discord? I couldn't find any installation instructions in the readme other than to run the program.
@JakeStanger commented on GitHub (Oct 19, 2020):
That's odd. The output would suggest it's connected to Discord fine, and the program would actually crash if it didn't successfully connect to Discord's RPC server.
No further configuration should be required. You should just need the Discord client running, then start

mpd-discord-rpc, and it should update your status to show you "in game".Is it possible you've got a custom status set and that's overriding it?
@Tankernn commented on GitHub (Oct 19, 2020):
I don't have any status set. :) How does
mpd-discord-rpcidentify/find the running Discord instance? Does it depend on some external program (dbus or similar)?@JakeStanger commented on GitHub (Oct 19, 2020):
Not to my knowledge. The library it uses looks like it just connects using a Unix socket
@Tankernn commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2020):
The output is actually the same regardless of whether Discord is running or not, so I suspect the instance is not detected.
@Tankernn commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2020):
Actually, scratch that. Here is some output with debugging enabled:
At least messages seem to be passed to and from Discord, maybe you can get more out of this than I?
@JakeStanger commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2020):
Hm, well that confirms the program is talking to Discord and it's sending/receiving all the right things. To me, this definitely looks like a Discord problem.
A couple of things I'd try:

I noticed this option exists...

Thank you for your help, closing.
