An Python wrapper for Discord RPC

Heya Stalker :3

Hey there! I'm Senophyx (Formerly known as LyQuid), a self-taught programmer who has been familiar with the world of programming for more than 3 years, especially Python.

About me:

discord-rpc's Issues

Error when compiled with pyinstaller

I'm getting this error when trying to use your package after being compiled into an exe by pyinstaller.

Here is my code

rpc = DiscordRPC.RPC.Set_ID('Example')
button = DiscordRPC.button(button_one_label='Server Invite', button_one_url="https://discord.gg/batch", button_two_label='Website', button_two_url='https://sped.lol')
rpc.set_activity(state='test', details='test', large_image='WORKING_LARGE_IMAGE_KEY', large_text='test', buttons=button, timestamp=rpc.timestamp())
rpc.run()

It works perfectly fine as just a py file but when compiled it breaks

Occasional crash

Copy of #4 since @LyQuid12 won't reopen it.

Sometimes when RPC.set_activity is called, the script crashes with error

    if output['evt'] == "ERROR":
KeyError: 'evt'

Adding debug print for RPC.output, the error is

{'code': 1003, 'message': 'data size does not match what was received'}

Seems to happen regardless of what the activity is set to.

Can't see RPC in discord app

Hey.
I have setup everything, even created the app, but I can't see the status update in discord.
Here is the debug log:

Do you know what might b going wrong?

Add the ability to display the listening status

For some discord applications like spotify and in general media consumption discord has the abilty to display "is listening/watching" with a progress bar and albums/cover art. I can't seem to find a way to recreate this by using this library or the javascript one.

Buttons dont open links

when i click on the button it doesnt open the link.

Program hangs sometimes if discord has been in system tray for a long time.

I have been facing this issue intermittently and the only common factor I have managed to find is that it happens when Discord is closed (ie, in the system tray) for a long time.

I managed to isolate the problem to this line https://github.com/Senophyx/Discord-RPC/blob/main/discordrpc/presence.py#L160

enc_header += self.socket.read(header_size)

It seems like when Discord is closed for a long time, the socket enters hibernation and doesn't respond to the request and because of that, the program effectively hangs, waiting for a response.

It can be fixed by opening Discord (from the system tray) but that seems very un-intuitive for end user.

Is there a way to trigger a TimeOut event or something to check if the connection is live?

Occasional crash

Sometimes when RPC.set_activity is called, the script crashes with error

    if output['evt'] == "ERROR":
KeyError: 'evt'

Adding debug print for RPC.output, the error is

{'code': 1003, 'message': 'data size does not match what was received'}

Seems to happen regardless of what the activity is set to.

What is the app_id and how to get it?

https://github.com/LyQuid12/Discord-RPC/blob/main/examples/rpc-with-button.py#L3

What is RPC and how it works?

I have a bot written in python, but I'm not sure how to setup.

The only thing I care about is custom buttons when opening bot's profile on Discord.

Does activity have to be set to gaming?
or other activities also can show the buttons or images?

Is Discord-RPC like a second bot that other bots contact to receive information such as buttons and images?

app_id seems like to mean client_id of a bot.

Sorry, I'm really confused about how it all works.

This just started happening recently.

I'm aware this is only an error you'd see if you aren't on Linux, and as said on another issue, I tried other versions but it still returned the same error. I'm on windows btw
