The status will not show up for you, as Discord does not display it on your own client when you edit it. I cannot fix this. Your friends will be able to see it however, or you can log into another account and check.
Due to Snip being Windows only, the default install instructions will only be applicable for Windows. However as the script is Python, as long as you find some program to spit out your music to a text file, you can configre that text file instead and it will run on any machine Python will run on
WARNING: Using a self-bot is technically against Discord's TOS (I originally wrote this when Discord had no statement on them and they were allowed), I am not accountable for any action they take due to you running this bot. However, unless you use it right in their face, they rarely take any action. PROCEED WITH CAUTION
- Spotify
- iTunes
- Winamp
- foobar2000
- VLC
- Google Play Music Desktop Player
- Quod Libet
- Python 3.6+
- Discord.py and Logbook installed via pip (Pip is the Python package manager solution, there are plenty of guides on how to install packages with Pip available)
- Snip / https://github.com/dlrudie/Snip/releases/latest
- Install requirements above
- Start up snip, this must be done at least once before starting the script, and snip must be running while you use it!
- Find your Discord token See below
- Run
run.pyto generate aconfig.inifile (If a file is not generated, see FAQ) - Configure the file with your token and path to snip.txt Neither should have quotation marks
- Start
run.py
Example Config
[Config]
token = mfa.a4g2Wazb...
snip = D:\DiNitride\Snip\Snip.txt
Your token will only be prefixed with mfa if you have 2 factor auth enabled
Please only edit the config.ini file created, NOT THE SOURCE CODE
- Open Discord
- Press Ctrl+Shift+i
- Click "Application" tab
- Expand Storage > Local Storage > https://discordapp.com/
- Find "token" under "key"
- Copy the text in quotes on the same row, DO NOT KEEP THE QUOTES
Open command prompt, and type pip install logbook and pip install discord.py
This should install both modules
If for some reason it doesn't, read here
This program has been tested and is 100% functional, providing the enviroments it is run in are correct.
A breaking change may have happened to the Discord API, which is out of my control, and you will need to update your installation. In the event that the problem is not fixed by the library, and I need to update my code, please open an issue in the issues tab.
pip install discord.py --upgrade
or
python -m pip install discord.py --upgrade
If after running the run.py once you find no config file has been generated, then please try running the script within a command prompt or terminal window with Python directly (C:\Users\DiNitride\Path\To\Dir>python run.py or $ python run.py) so you can see the output. There may be another unresolved issue which you cannot otherwise see. Another issue is that the script may not have permissions to create a file, try running as administrator. If you still cannot create a config file, try creating one manually.
Study the example config above and make sure that your paths are pointing to the correct file snip.exe IS NOT the correct file, snip.txt is, this will cause an error
Do not add me as a friend on Discord and DM me for help. Github has an issues feature which works perfectly well, allows me to keep track of problems better, and in turn allows others to see the solution when we get to it.
To log out, send "m.quit" anywhere on Discord and the script should log you out properly
