Change the default "Playing VLC Media Player" rich presence. about vlc-discord-rpc HOT 31 CLOSED

Yes, it is possible to change that text. Create a new Discord Application, name it what you want it to say, and then use that app ID. Be sure to upload the image assets to the rich presence section.

Thx, I was able to change the name, but I noticed that It doesn't show the paused icon (or volume) when the video is paused. Is there anything I need to change here? But it displays the 'Playing' icon fine.

from vlc-discord-rpc.

perhaps it should be "paused" instead of "pause"

from vlc-discord-rpc.

Oh! Okay
tho in the /icons/ folder it was mentioned 'paused'

from vlc-discord-rpc.

oh, sry, my bad... It was 'pause' and not 'paused'

from vlc-discord-rpc.

aw cool lemme know if it works

from vlc-discord-rpc.

Nope... no luck. It still doesn't show the paused icon

from vlc-discord-rpc.

Try reopening discord, maybe the asset hasnt propagated to your client yet

from vlc-discord-rpc.

Ah! I fixed it!
I had to set the 'small image key' to 'pauselight'

from vlc-discord-rpc.

tho is it possible to make the playing/ paused icons white (like before) instead of black

from vlc-discord-rpc.

youd have to name the light assets playing paused stopped, sorry thats a bit inconvenient to change now for ya

from vlc-discord-rpc.

kay!
thx!
and hw do i change the vlc icon?
rn only the default 'vlc' icon works

from vlc-discord-rpc.

the large icon can be set in config.js, the largeIcon setting

from vlc-discord-rpc.

oh, sry, I meant how to add my own vlc icon instead of default

from vlc-discord-rpc.

just upload a new large icon as an asset and set its name in config.js

from vlc-discord-rpc.

any name?

from vlc-discord-rpc.

any name works yes

from vlc-discord-rpc.

will try now

from vlc-discord-rpc.

Nope... didnt work
Now the Paused icon appears as the large icon and vlc icon is absent

from vlc-discord-rpc.

try reloading discord

from vlc-discord-rpc.

youd have to name the light assets playing paused stopped, sorry thats a bit inconvenient to change now for ya

It's still black even though I removed all the black icons and replaced them with the light

from vlc-discord-rpc.

try reloading discord

ok

from vlc-discord-rpc.

your client is caching the assets in the application. it can take some time for changes to show up on your end. restarting your discord client usually makes it reload the assets

from vlc-discord-rpc.

Yay~ Now the small icons appear in white.

Also,

Should I add the other images such as 'vlcflat', 'vlcblue', 'vlcneon', etc? cuz it doesnt work if i set anything other than 'vlc' in config.js

from vlc-discord-rpc.

nah the other images arent required. not sure why names other than vlc wouldnt work, other than caching maybe

edit: oh you mean name them the same. Nah that shouldnt matter

from vlc-discord-rpc.

Thx, I was able to change the name, but I noticed that It doesn't show the paused icon (or volume) when the video is paused. Is there anything I need to change here? But it displays the 'Playing' icon fine.

NOOOOO It started frm problem 1 again :(
It doesnt show the 'paused' icon even if I set the 'small image key' to 'pauselight' in developer portal

from vlc-discord-rpc.

you know the developer portal doesnt change your actual rich presence right? it shouldnt be possible for the icon to not show up in the rich presence visualizer when you pick it-- unless theres a bug on discord's end

from vlc-discord-rpc.

oh... didn't knw that lol
well, maybe waiting for a bit could fix it

from vlc-discord-rpc.

most likely. the discord servers dont like to work very hard when it comes to caching that stuff

from vlc-discord-rpc.

🤣 Yea seems like it.
Thx for helping me.

from vlc-discord-rpc.

no problem, glad you could get it working, merry christmas
