Manual installation refers to the wrong link

jojo2357 opened this issue · 1 comments

In the readme, there is a manual installation option, but this link did not work:

https://github.com/FichteFoll/discordrp-mpris

but when i used the zip of the latest release:

https://github.com/FichteFoll/discordrp-mpris/archive/refs/tags/v0.3.2.zip

it worked as intended. I also wonder why systemctl --user enable discordrp-mpris.service --now does not work when I do it that way. Right now i open a terminal to run the rich presence, but I would like it to be automatic. Should I set up a cron job to do it or is there a better way?

Thanks for the heads-up, I fixed the installation commands in a1374a8.

When you use manual installation, the systemd unit file isn't copied to the proper location where systemd expects it. You will need to copy/create it yourself at ~/.config/systemd/user/discordrp-mpris.service first. Then you can control it like any other unit file installed to your system. Note that you will most likely also need to update the executable path to /home/<your_user>/.local/bin/discordrp-mpris, unless you installed as root (which I don't recommend).
