Discord Rich Presence integration for mpv Media Player

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.

Downloads

• Latest Releases
• All Releases

Installation

1. For Linux, installing just run install-linux.sh on terminal.
2. For Windows, installing just run install-win.bat by double-clicking it.
3. For Mac, installing just run install-osx.sh on terminal.

---

Settings

Just edit mpv_discordRPC.conf file in script-opts folder. Now Available 2 rpc_wrapper option, choose one. Example:

• Configuration (A) rpc_wrapper and periodic_timer

  rpc_wrapper=lua-discordRPC
  periodic_timer=1
  

• Configuration (B) rpc_wrapper and periodic_timer

  rpc_wrapper=python-pypresence
  periodic_timer=3
  

Setting to show playlist info and loop info. Example:

• Configuration playlist_info and loop_info

  playlist_info=yes
  loop_info=yes
  

Setting to show cover art. Example:

• Configuration cover_art

  cover_art=yes
  

Setting to active/inactive toggle the Discord RPC and the start states. Example:

• Configuration active and key_toggle

  active=yes
  key_toggle=D
  

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.

mpv-discordrpc's Issues

Doesn't work with Apple Silicon Macs

When trying to use on M1 MacBook Air, I get this error:

[mpv_discordRPC] Lua error: ...wl/.config/mpv/scripts/mpv-discordRPC/lua-discordRPC.lua:2: dlopen(libdiscord-rpc.dylib, 0x0005): tried: '/usr/lib/swift/libdiscord-rpc.dylib' (no such file), '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/macosx/libdiscord-rpc.dylib' (no such file), 'libdiscord-rpc.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libdiscord-rpc.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64e')), '/usr/lib/libdiscord-rpc.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/wl/libdiscord-rpc.dylib' (no such file)

Cover art doesn't work.

Hi, it seems that after getting the basic functionalities of this to work, the cover art doesn't show up for any of my songs.

Recent mpv changes

Hi,

with the recent changes in MPV regarding scripts, this stopped working with the following errors (tested with mpv-x86_64-20200202-git-77a74d9):

This however can be easily fixed.
The files from "scripts\mpv-discordRPC" just need to be placed into the directory "lua\mpv-discordRPC" (or as above, in any other of the named directories, but the "lua" ones seems the most elegant, however the "lua" directory needs to be created if not already present).
Perhaps this can be considered with the installer script.

Segmentation fault on mpv while using the mpv-discordRPC

I have been getting segmentation fault pretty much after playing a song for 5-10 min

Which I didn't really get before.

Feature request (option to not share presence when idle/paused)

As title suggests. I don't see the point is sharing the fact I have a show paused. Or that I'm watching nothing.

mpv.net support

can u make it so it woks with mpv.net

Can't seem to get it working anymore. Following the install script and editing the config to use pypresence gives this error:

Cover art leaking stream URL

When hovering over the cover art for a web stream, it shows the URL, and afaik there is no way to hide that.
It is usually not a big deal but for my IPTV provider it leaks my login information. I know it's a bad design on their part but might be useful in other scenarios as well.
Image illustrating:

Time left continues to decrease when the mpv is paused

On Windows 10,
mpv version 0.32.0-288-gee70e8ce50
and mpv-discordRPC version 1.4.1-UNKNOWN
I did not change any settings after installation.

When mpv is paused, Discord presence updates properly to show that the player is paused, but the remaining time continues ticking down, for around 15 seconds, after which, it jumps back to the proper time and continues ticking down.

e.g.:

• I paused a movie with mpv showing 04:22:47 left;
• Discord presence shows the paused icon but the "xx:xx:xx left" text continues ticking down
• Once the timer reaches "04:22:31 left", after one second, it jumps back to "04:22:45 left" and continues this countdown loop.

Everything else works fine i.e. the current timestamp ("AV:") does not change while the time left counter is ticking down.

Here's a screen recording from the Discord desktop app to better illustrate my issue (username and tag blurred for privacy):

Tried several things, couldn't get the script working.

Manjaro Linux 5.6.10-3
mpv 0.32.0
Lua 5.3.5

Running this script with -v, i see the following error...

[cplayer] Can't load unknown script: /home/user/.config/mpv/scripts/mpv-discordRPC

The scripts are correctly there. I tried referencing main.lua directly using --script=... but that ended up failing to import the catalogs.lua script.

Then I tried moving catalogs.lua and the other lua script into the PWD, I had the config file point to python, but for some reason it wasn't respecting the scripts-opt folder and tried to run the lua script (which failed because I don't have ffi installed).

I was wondering if this was related to mpv-player/mpv#7399

I have no issues with using python version (tried it as well before), but I still use lua, however mpv now after update throwing errors about this file.
Also it have some problems with mpv_version variable, may be need to rename it?

Make uninstall script

I would like to see uninstall script.
Or can I made it.

intermittent issue cause mpv to hang on exit

Hi, im currently having a issue where mpv hangs on exit sometimes, I have only just opened GDB to see where it is getting stuck and it seems to be on the closing on the RPC connection in the discord provided RPC library. I am not sure if this is a upstream issue or an issue with how mpv-discordRPC tells the libary to quit

ImportError: No module named pypresence

Hello,
I am trying to use this on a fresh install of Kubuntu 19.10 but for some reason pypresence is giving me issues. When running mpv from the terminal, I can see the script is giving this error over and over:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/user/.config/mpv/scripts/mpv-discordRPC/python-pypresence.py", line 6, in <module> import pypresence ImportError: No module named pypresence
However, pypresence IS installed. Python 3 is at version 3.7.5. and pip3 list shows pypresence 3.3.2 is there. Further, if I open a terminal and manually run python3 and then import pypresence, it works just fine.

Display File Name

Can it only display file name instead of its title?

I need help

When using a custom appID and state, every 15 seconds the status will go back to the default title and (Playing) state, and then turn back after a second. It's super frustrating, so if anyone has a fix please let me know.

Add it mplug script directory

Mplug is like a package manager but for mpv scripts.
Please add your script there (if already not there) and also installation instructions in manifest - https://github.com/Nudin/mpv-script-directory/blob/master/HOWTO_ADD_INSTALL_INSTRUCTIONS.md
