mpv-discordRPC

Discord Rich Presence intergation for mpv Media Player

This is alternative version, edited from mpv-discordRPC. I add metadata tags (Title, Artist and Album) support for 'details' and I use status-line for 'state'. I use 'elapsed' time mode when idle, while when playing, paused, and buffering use 'left' time mode. I add support and installer script for Linux, Mac and Windows. I also add custom configuration file and new features: info, cover art, url detections, and active/inactive toggle.

For more description read below.

    cover_art=yes

    active=yes

To use rpc_wrapper=lua-discordRPC, Important LuaJIT on mpv

Check LuaJIT, because it has FFI Library and it needed by lua-discordRPC.

  1. For Linux

    • Make sure your mpv binary linked to luajit~~ not lua~~ library.

      ldd $(which mpv) | grep luajit
libluajit-5.1.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libluajit-5.1.so.2 (0x00007f32e9a83000)

    • If it's dynamic build while it's static build you can check with

      mpv -v -V | sed -rn 's/.*(luajit).*/\1/p'
luajit

  2. For Windows (Don't worry)

    • You can skip this because available mpv Windows build by lachs0r and shinchiro already use LuaJIT and it static build which configured with --enable-static-build.

  3. For Mac (So sad)

    • Until now, LuaJIT still have problem on Mac OS X. Also build mpv with LuaJIT on Mac OS X (read mpv issue #1110), it maybe can build successfully but still can't load LuaJIT properly when run mpv (read mpv issue #5205). You can check with otool command.

To use rpc_wrapper=python-pypresence, Important to install pypresence

Support Mac, Windows, and Linux because can use with Lua or LuaJIT.

  1. Install Python >=3.5 because this version has asyncio library which needed by pypresence.
  2. Install pypresence pip install pypresence or pip install https://github.com/qwertyquerty/pypresence/archive/master.zip use pip3 instead of pip if Python 2 still installed on your old machine.

You may want to check again, run command mpv -v -V and find luajit or lua word on the line which beginning with [cplayer] List of enabled features: for Mac, Windows or Linux.

Testing

  1. Open your Discord then,
  2. Open your mpv then,
  3. Back to Discord and then check your profile.

Good Luck and have a nice day.
