Discord Developer Portal

Open Discord Developer Portal by clicking this link. You may have to login.

In "Applications" create a new applocation and give it a name. This will be the title that displays on Discord.

Open the application after you have created it. Navigate to OAuth2. The client ID that shows there is the client ID you have to add into the config.ini file

Navigate now to Rich Presence > Art Assets. Upload the two images from the icons folder to your application and make sure they are called "plexamp" and "plexweb".

After the files are uploaded, then you are done.

its nothing fancy, just a simple GUI. It allows you to open the logs, clear the logs and exit the script. And see the current playing song, Album and the link to the album cover.
