Currently all the client devices playing media from a specific plex server and user is being detected.
In my case, i share my main plex account with friends and family for various reasons.
So whatever they play is being detected too.

Would love for an option to whitelist only specific devices to being detected.

Sadly, I haven't been able to use the app at all.

When opening Plex, the app crashes.

Here are the logs:

Hi,

I would like to get my current music info to display in OBS, is it possible to save the title of the music, the album and the artist in a text file and the cover image of the album in a folder ?

Thanks

After installing and logging in, I get a notification about a virus being detected.

Hello ! I would like make a build of the project but after few hours, i'm stay blocked with that :
PS go build -tags windows -ldflags='-s -w -H=windowsgui'

Any idea for how unlock that ?
Thank you c:

Sometimes the it shows and most times it doesn't. I couldn't get the app to show the RPC consistently. I don't know if you have to open the plex-rpc app first then discord and plex itself or vice versa.

Hi, running latest version of both plex-richpresence, Plex Server and Plex client.

Can't open the app, it crashes on startup.

In a closed issue I saw that another user was experiencing the same problem and got fixed by updating to version 1.2.0. I tried that one and same error.

Any clue? Thanks in advance & thanks for this software!

Could be related to the fact that my account is under a home with a few other users, and the app doesn't know which user I am from the Select User page. If that is the case, having this functionality enabled would be quite lovely.

Hello,
The app is crashing sometimes while change episodes, might not be a crash bc theres is nothing on the logs, but sometimes, i do have to open it again after i go to the next episode.

Hi,
When playing music on Plexamp, currentPlayState.session seems to only get set on the first song, with subsequent songs not getting their titles/artists updated.
Seems to work fine on Firefox Web though.

The last release did improve the time remaining/elapsed though, which is much appreciated!!

Thanks, keep up the good work!

Hi,

Currently, it only shows the Season and episode number like this.

Would be nice so that it also shows the episode name, like this:

Maybe also capitalize the E from episode.
It's only a minor suggestion but it would be really nice, I prefer your software above the other rich presence one.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

Server A is local and Server B is remote.
Playing media on either of them doesn't create any "Playing..." status on discord.

Server select menu just appears like this:

Sad to say that I'm back, only this time I have no information at all about the crash. The logs don't show anything interesting.

Hello,
Not sure what happened. I downloaded this for the first time yesterday and it was working fine. The service stayed open and running without issue whether I was actively on my PC or not - and I noticed it automatically my discord status when I started watching something even on new client - Everything working as it should essentially.

But today I start Plex and notice my discord status didn't update. Went to my PC and the Plex Rich Presence icon was no longer in the hidden icons menu on the task bar. Thought maybe my PC restarted so I re-opened it and set it to start on log in. Went back to play something and again my status didn't update. Went back to my PC and again PRP was closed. Opened it again and observed itself close out after 5-10 seconds. Tried again and same thing kept happening - I open it from the .exe, icon appears on my taskbar and it disappears 10 seconds later. Deleted the AppData folder and the .exe and redownloaded it. Signed back into Plex like the initial set up and again, it closed out after 10 seconds.

Not sure what would cause this - Not changes/updates to either my PC, Plex Server or Network.

Plex Server is local
I'm the admin
Only watching on local clients
Have Plex Pass
Plex Server is on Win 10
Personal PC with PRP/Discord is on Win 11

Let me know if you need anything else, thank you!

Would look awesome with this suggestion, https://github.com/Ombrelin/plex-rich-presence/ manages to do it but their one doesn't work with the Plex Windows App, yours does though and it's only like ....7 MB compared to their 70MB one.

Anyways thanks for this app, it's amazing! That's the only thing personally I think is missing, album photo on rich presence instead of the plex icon.

So that album image instead of the plex icon. Would be great, thanks again!

Hi, i don't no if it's possible, but plex add a new feature for generate a link in Plexamp :

The link redirect to the album trqck list like this :

that wouldd be great if you add this whis a discord riich presence button under the music (if it's possible)

Thanks :)
