this is completely irrelevant don't try to help out if you got no clue
vns
sorry
cascading style sheet
do it to see if that's why
cough cough linux chromium hw acceleration is finicky at best
@oblique valley
Holy shit passing --env=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR --filesystem=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR makes audio work on completely systemd free distro's for the Vesktop flatpak
@dapper stag
no systemd makes your life 2 billion times harder
Not really that bad, Vesktop is the only thing that has issues with it on my system
blame electron
For the GPU crap sure, but I don't know whether electron is the thing responsible for no audio streaming on systemd less systems
My Vencord setup broke how do I go into safe mode with vesktop
then the same would apply to discord 
IT DOES
THERES NO HW ENC/DEC ON DISCORD DESKTOP LINUX
that's completely irrelevant to that person's support request
yap I'm saying in general about chromium
Vesktop isnβt loading for me
itβs stuck in an infinite loop
I just realized discord is actually down
π
yea
Sometimes part of discord just freezes and reloading doesn't even work
Sometimes it's the entire screen other times it's only a part
Disabling hardware acceleration seems to fix it but makes the program slow as all hell
anyone know how to fix when using easyeffects and vesktop screenshare people in call can hear themselves in my stream?
hi! have you considered reading this server's #rules, notably the 5th one?
can anyone tell me what is the difference between vencord and vesktop
vencord is a mod sit on top of discrd vesktop is a client with vencord
vesktop is a custom electron wrapper for discord web with vencord built in and a handful of other stuff like better screenshare support on linux
(Linux) Hi, vesktop is no longer opening for me. It opens the launch window and just eternally loads. When I launch from terminal, I get this message, and have gotten this same message when launching with the flatpak, appimage, and aur package. PS I posted this in vencord support but figured I should delete that and post here instead (obviously the appimage bit isnt there when i tried the appimage):
APPIMAGE env is not defined, current application is not an AppImageVesktop v1.5.5checkForUpdatesAndNotify called, downloadPromise is null(node:43820) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/lib/vencord'at mkdirSync (node:fs:1371:26)at lc (VCDMain:13:829)at async Pl (VCDMain:15:5002)(Use electron --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created)(node:43820) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection.

Why Game Ativity don't work when i play a game ??
is there a way to not have partymode to turn on
is it possible to use a camera on vesktop with linux? for me it always say no devices found but it works fine with stock discord and discord web
if its the flatpak make sure u didnt explode permissions
something is cooked then
how do i fix tho π
idk troubleshoot your system
ive done everything that comes to my mind lol
except maybe installing a different vesktop package but i really cba to do that rn
see if navigator.mediaDevices returns anything
did u test pure web in chromium
husk
nop
youre supposed to test in chromium
eughhh sure one sec
ff is useless for hardware interaction stuff
ik but in my head i always think somethingf that works on ff should work on chromium too and am too lazy to install it
sob
why when i go to a game for example, then i get a notification, vesktop just freezes, im using hyprland (you can imagine what os im using)
and yes, i have a notification daemon
disable desktop notifications if youre sure you have the notification server setup
what're your logs as well
any errors from libnotify?
whenever i open vesktop, it keeps overwriting these entries in mimeapps. i cant open any links bc everything keeps trying to open links in vesktop :c
uhh check the vesktop.desktop to make sure it doesnt contains those schemes
it doesnt seem to
i have no idea what's happening there then
you can watch that file for changes and see what process is responsible
you can use auditctl for this
vesktop has no code that sets those schemes so it has to be something else with your desktop
do other electron apps have the same behaviour?
only thing i can think of is there being other vesktop.desktop files on your system
do this and see what process is responsible
oh check ~/.local/share/mime and /usr/share/mime for vesktop related files
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_MIME_Applications
check the fallback locations and such
nothing vesktop related there
on windows 11, screensharing also screenshares discord audio, so my friends can hear themselves, any fix?
are global keybinds a thing now in vesktop?
afaik no
aw
is it like super hard to implement? its basically the only thing holding me back from using switching
I'm using Vesktop and I'm Can't open someone's stream in a new window and no matter what I do I can't screenshare the game Path of Exile 2 could someone please help me?
it's in the works, see https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/pull/326
"doesn't work" and similar are not very helpful. To help you, we need more info!
Describe your issue with as much detail as possible.
What exactly did you try to do?
What did you expect to happen?
What happened instead?
Does this issue always happen, or only sometimes?
If possible, provide steps how to reproduce the issue
If appropriate, provide screenshots or screen recordings
For Vencord issues:
- If you are able to, run the
/vencord-debugslash command - If not, provide the following info:
- How are you using Vencord? (Discord Desktop, Browser (name your browser!!), Vencord Desktop, ArmCord, ...)
- What OS are you using?
- Open the DevTools with

For Installer issues:
- What OS are you using?
(Auto-response invoked by @oblique valley)
Please share your Vencord debug info by running the /vencord-debug slash command!
do both
rejoice! ty. one day..
What exactly did you try to do?
I'm trying to open someone's stream in a new window, so I can see it on a bigger window
What did you expect to happen?
The intended behavior, the new window pops out and I can watch the stream and interact with the buttons corectly
What happened instead?
I see the window on the taskbar, but nothing happens when I click on it, which forces me to close it in order to watch the stream
Does this issue always happen, or only sometimes?
Always
If possible, provide steps how to reproduce the issue
Join someone's stream, and try to maximize the stream window/open it in a new window
If appropriate, provide screenshots or screen recordings
sure
/vencord-debug does nothing
How are you using Vencord? (Discord Desktop, Browser (name your browser!!), Vencord Desktop, ArmCord, ...)
Vesktop
What OS are you using?
Win11 23H2
Open the DevTools with Ctrl + Shift + i (Cmd + Option + i on MacOs) and check the console tab for red error messages
sure, screenshots attached
windows? electron limitation. windows support would need to be added to venmic but atm no one has done the work.
I can't repro on linux. I'll try in a windows vm later.
Hello, i have been having an issue lately in Vencord where when im talking on voice im getting random issues, for example:
- i am getting my volume lowered by a lot
- i cant hear other people
- my mic is cutting me off when im talking
what is curious is that all of these issues go away when i reset sound settings, which by itself is not bad but it happens multiple times per day.....
i am using a flatpak version of vesktop
mb
I am trying to play videos, but i keep getting this error
i am launching vesktop with these flags
vesktop --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE --use-gl=angle --use-angle=vulkan
i'm making them unplayable sorry
you forgot VaapiVideoDecoder feature
and the use-gl and use-angle shouldn't be needed
still have the same issue, with or without the angle flags
skill issue maybe you have shit card
should work
idk i use those flags on 6700xt lol
vesktop --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,VaapiVideoDecoder,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE
what if i just made ffmpeg plugin to convert on the fly 
make sure it actually launches and not does the vesktop is already open quitting
can you play this video #π§-off-topic-iceman-only message ?
native
Has anyone had the issue of not being able to select what window you want to screenshare? It used to work for me, but recently, I can't pick the window. It only lets me screenshare the vesktop client. Any ideas?

if it's hevc then yes with the flags
system issue we can't help with that, especially cause Nix
run from terminal and observe output, you probably have broken portals
NO
that flag isnt real since chromium 132
you're so mad
@fervent sky helpppppppppppp
what do you want so needy
Could it be nvidia driver issue? I think I updated them recently
i need to watch the slop posted in general 
show a video of the issue
you should get a portal popup making you choose the window
i think ill just make a plugin 
cant be that hard
what's wrong
videos wont play
launching with the flags you gave me, or the ones vee gave me
Yeah, it was working when I first installed. The window select doesn't appear
cope check gpu settings
vesktop settings > advanced > gpu
thingy
looks like a sane fallback is happening
there is no advanced section
check portal logs
but hardware accel is enabled
vesktop > open developer settings > something along the lines of chrome://gpu
:3
this enough?
scroll for the decoder support chart
I dont know what to look for, is this it?
if it makes a difference, i get the same error in my browser
oh yeah adding those flags and playing a video freezes sway, incredible
your vulkan impl is cooked
prolly, i do have 2 gpus plugged in
i should have an envvar set to like select the right gpu tho
so idk whats causing it
oh lol yeah
let me get env var
you love chromium exploding with two GPUs on vulkan
fun
not sure I did this properly, but these are the logs from the terminal when I share my screen. Are there other logs I should be checking?
set VK_DRIVER_FILES to one of the json files at /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/
how will that change anything 
makes chromium only see one vulkan impl
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome logs
Fine to set that globally or should i set it just for vesktop?
@fervent sky does vulkan have to be enabled for this to work?
i dont remember
@dapper stag do you have vulkan enabled in your vesktop?
if you want only one gpu to be able to have vulkan set globally
vulkan is only needed on amd for proper vaapi
nvidia doesnt work at all
and vaapi only works fully on wayland
sooo
YMMV heavily setup specific
most software should be able to handle multiple backends chromium is just shit
still causes freezes 
env VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json vesktop --ozone-platform=x11 --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,VaapiVideoDecoder,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE
even on wayland, still isnt playing the videos
i mean i can't even run vesktop in wayland itself i have to run it in xwayland or it doesn't launch (unless i use --disable-gpu) and i can't play videos without freezing with those flags set
insane
its just so over
these flags fix video playback on fedora kde (rpm)
why is a font error crashing firefox
@oblique valley @timber dragon plugin coming soon
I'm going to actually lose it @dapper stag stop spreading misinformation VaapiVideoDecoder isnt a flag in chromium 132+
let kids believe it works
gorp use wayland
wait is your wm freezing
yes, when playing a video with those flags set
@fervent sky is there a reason to pass ozone platfrom x11
I'm doing that because vesktop doesn't launch without it
unless ozone wayland is set in a launcher script
idk my setup is a bit weird with multiple gpus and i cba to pull one out to see if it fixes it
so cooked
--enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE --use-gl=angle --use-angle=vulkan
do those
with wayland
and the vk driver files env var
wrong!
yea
specifically gpu things ff is good at
hey, that launches now... videos still don't play though!
yea, i have the same issue x11 or wayland
is discords code fucked up or something
doesn't freeze my wm anymore
i dont think it can be, since it works on ff
i honestly would not be surprised
but it doesnt work on chrome browser
someone go read how its detecting no platform support
@nocturne veldt can you play hvec videos on a chrome based browser on windows

chrome still needs hevc flags
why you ping me?
you use windows
send me a hvec video
you can literally just check about:gpu to see decoder support
i dont have a windows pc easily accessable (i dont trust my arm laptop)
No and if i download windows converts it to a mov
@fervent sky i think this is disocrds fuck up then
did u remove the VK driver files env var
no
show full
Firefox does but Chrome isnt letting me
yea, same thing here on linux
env VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json vesktop --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE --use-gl=angle --use-angle=vulkan
Then it just vanishes without opening, its on the system tray and that is all
firefox vesktop when 
also keep in mind I use Windows 10 and not 11 so it could also just be a system thing where 10 doesnβt have the Codecs or something
--ozone-platform=wayland
So Dorion
no change
software decoding should still be supported
your system is cursed
remove the canvas and osdirect flags
windows 10 is still the main desktop os
nop, time to figure out what the hell is wrong with my system i guess
@fervent sky discord isnt throwing an error, its coming from chromium itself
a MediaError with code 4
idk how to test that
just send cli flags 
...
what're they calling to trigger that
@low oasis discord embed playing of hevc doesnt work but does opening the media directly in a new tab play it
no, downloads it
guh chrome doesnt have a play thing before downloading?
i forget if it does or not
or if its downloading because it cant support it
its the error event of an HTMLVideoElement
they're just loading it
repro
thats in an about:blank tab in brave
gonna try something stupid brb
discord moment not chrome
hey guys, when I select "entire screen" in vesktop's screen audio most of the times the audio won't work (but sometimes it will?) with this warning log
I'm on Fedora 41, this is already an issue on GitHub, but I couldn't any fix
has anyone had an issue on vesktop where embeds are saying that the Codec is not supported? this only really just started happening now. mint 22
i think its something discord did, as they dont work in a chrome, on linux or windows
they work on firefox tho
yurp same here
i feel like the issue has been around for a while
only difference now is that theres a nice screen for it
i havent been able to play 90% of videos on vesktop for a while
id press play and it would just sit there not playing anything
but if i downloaded the video itd work fine in my own media player
having the same issue
Vekstop solved the issue of vidoes not playing for me
Normal discord is broke on linux
For example this video will not play on linux with the Normal discord client it just plays sound but no video

hello how do i change the order of my columns like in this
i want their order specifically
then find a theme that does that
i got their theme tho
can you do multiple at once ?
or do i have to do css
if anyone ever finds one that does this please tell me this is giving me a headache google isn;t helping
Same here, Fedora 41 / using the AppImage
I had --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,VaapiVideoDecoder,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE (which I found in a github issue) as arguments since I had issues with some videos before, but since today I've been getting this exact message, I can see the attachments fine on a browser.
then add the theme in the vencord settings
Donate
which one is it
5 bucks
because its 2 years without updates and discord has changed classes since then
riprip you hate to see it, discord once again screwing things over
how fast will i get it
Idk
Does it stop if you don't pay every month?
no
Okok because I'd love to donate since i've been using vencord for god knows how long but I cannot do it every month I am still studying t-t
i did the theme is just colors
how old is the theme
because chances are its not updated to modern discord, and even if it was, its a theme issue
Updated: 06/27/2024
not something we fix here, ask the theme author
classes has changed since
Hi, I'm having issues with Vesktop automatically lowering my microphone volume.
I've checked #1257025907625951423 , and also browsed through the GitHub Issues page of Vesktop. Every issue that talks about this problem seems to have been marked as "duplicate", but I haven't been able to find the original.
There is a workaround posted by someone in issue #1087, but ideally that shouldn't be necessary, as it requires me to run an additional script on boot just for Vesktop that constantly sets my microphone volume to max. Kind of jank.
I'm running Vesktop on Nobara Linux 40 GNOME, the Flatpak version specifically. I've also turned off Automatic Gain Control, and restarted both my system and Vesktop.
Hello, why Game Ativity don't work when i play a game ??
When i launch my game it's not displayed in my game activity, just spotify work, why ?
What system are you running Vesktop on?
Windows
I've only used Vesktop on Linux so I can't help with that, sadly. :(
I had similar issues but I fixed em with a custom Discord app that grabs my Steam status.
The issue you're facing is probably caused by something else, as my activity issues were caused by the games being run under Proton.
Not really, in the normal discord, it's worked
run /vencord-debug in #π₯-vencord-support-π₯
And proton it's another deal, since there are not supossed to run on linux, so it can make some problem, when i wased on Arch i haved some problembs with proton
it's good
Yeee that's why I specified when saying I had issues with game activity before as well.
One of the issues mentioning this seems to have also been marked as "not planned". Is this something that cannot be fixed? (Issue number is #878)
Yeah I mentioned that above, in the message I replied to. I couldn't find what it's a duplicate of, unfortunately.
OK thank you!
And for my problem, it have any solution ?
Hello guys, I need some help. My plugins are not loading at all, I think it's because my install is old. However, I don't know how to uninstall vesktop.
OS: Ubuntu noble 24.04 x86_64
Install mode: I have no idea. I have a .deb, an .appimage and a .flatpak on my app list. Right-clicking Vesktop opens the Ubuntu Store for the Flatpak but I have no Vesktop on flatpak list I think it's .deb.
Hey! I once again experience an issue I only managed to fix by completely re-installing Vesktop last time I had it:
Randomy, when starting Vesktop, the start animation shows, but no main window opens after that. The Icon shows up in my Panel, but shows no preview on hovering. clicking on it does nothing - not even select the "phantom"(?) window.
OS: Fedora Workstation 41 (GNOME 47)
Vesktop installed as flatpak
right-clicking the status icon and selecting "repair Vencord" does nothing. If I remember correctly, last time I had this, reset didn't help either, only re-installing the flatpak and wiping all app data.
looking into $HOME/.var/app/dev.vencord.Vesktop/config/vesktop/state.json I get the following values, which seem relevant:
{
"firstLaunch": false,
"windowBounds": {
"x": 0,
"y": 0,
"width": 1048,
"height": 930
},
"displayId": 4,
"maximized": false,
"minimized": false
}
Especially displayId seems interesting to me, as I only have 2 monitors. Changing this value to 1 However doesn't fix the issue.
EDIT: removing/renaming the state.json file causes the first-time setup to re-appear and after that everything works as expected again.
so my vencord just sort of uninstalled off discord with out me doing it does anyone know why?
I'm getting the "Unable to play video. Try using the Discord desktop app or a more modern browser" error message when trying to play videos on Vesktop Linux, too.
accidentally posted this in vencord instead of vesktop
it seems that drag n drop, nor copying a file from the file explorer works
It puts in a blank picture, and trying to send it gives an "upload failed" error
happens in pure chrome linux and windows
discord is doing something weird on their end
make sure vesktop has permission to access the file
how do I make sure of that? Enabling "access to all user files" in flatseal doesn't fix it
could someone help me out with a screen sharing issue on linux/kde
vesktop settings not appearing here neither on deb nor flatpak
ubuntu 24
all issues about this on github were bc of an outdated version but this is the newest
oh
nvmd
its just at the top now
on windows if i try to join a vc on vesktop it get stuck finding route and then ends up failing and saying no route
not sure if its some like internet issue
likely
any idea for what i should check?
Nope
rip
Emoji cloner plugin crashs discord when trying to use it
Happens with 2 different computers
Hey, so I'm running Vesktop on my M4 Mac mini and I use it on my M4 MacBook Pro
When screensharing I have no audio. I do know that audio works on normal Discord PTB, but on Vesktop w/ Discord PTB it stops working completely.
yo for a few days now some videos just dont play. anyone got any ideas how to permanently fix it?
Same issue. This has been a problem for a while with certain types of MP4s and MOVs, but it used to just not play the video and I'd have to download and play in my video player. Now it has the "Unable to play video" message
I will admit I'm using the AUR package and haven't yet tested it on the flatpak
So i have the problem that vesktop from the AUR segfaults if i drag a server but vesktop flatpak arrpc doesn't work, any way to fix this?
how can i zoom in vesktop
ctrl + and or ctrl -
I'm on NixOS with Vesktop installed from nixpkgs/nixos-unstable using Home Manager.
When I try to play an attached video, it freezes on the first frame, but the audio still plays.
Embedded videos (from links) still work perfectly.
This issue has persisted across multiple updates and restarts, so at this point, I'd bet money that it's not a fluke. HALP
No. These packages are maintained by people (usually) unrelated to Vencord. We can't provide support for unofficial repackages of Vencord unless it's an actual bug in the mod itself (except when such bugs occur due to the repackage).
Please forward your support enquiries to the people who maintain these packages instead of us.
This seems to happen with all kinds of videos, if I'm not mistaken.
then your system is cooked
Same thing for me its this issue on the issue tracker https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/758 adding these flags --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,VaapiVideoDecoder,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE when starting Vesktop should fix it, however for the flatpak version it doesn't do anything.
then you're probably passing them wrong
wdym passing them wrong
hello -- does translucency work on vesktop? having issues making it work
i am on macos sequoia, and have force updated vesktop
the first one should play and the second one shouldn't
if both don't play then something is wrong with your system
if only the second doesn't play then see that issue I linked
First one works. Second one throws up an error.
doing a flatpak run dev.vencord.Vesktop --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,VaapiVideoDecoder,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE doesn't work btw.
works for me
only works on AMD I think
if you have novideo then there's no fix
you need vaapi
I'm running a fully amd system.
what's your GPU
rx 7800 xt
try using flatseal to grant these to vesktop and see if it fixes
Wait vee are you the one who packages the flatpak?
nope.
lewi made it initially but I do maintain it too yeah
well it works for me
try granting this too i guess
and if it still doesn't work, can you show a screen recording?
still nothing
Looks like there's an override to install Vencord on top of the actual Discord client. Maybe I'll give that a try...
Yeah, I quit out of it using the little icon in the bottom right
fwiw it works for me so it's most likely a system issue
maybe try using AMDGPU PRO if you're using the free one
but i'm pretty sure I'm using the free one too
it stopped working for me too a day or two ago
Apparently the vencord flatpak can not access the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to make use of existing audio sources. If I manually override the flatpak to set the --env=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and --filesystem=$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR manually it is able to detect audio sources, doesn't this sound like an interface not being exposed for the flatpak?
im using the appimage though
what's "it"
.
giving access to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is a bad idea
minus the flatpak run ofc
and considering it works fine on systemd it means your system is not exposing something that's needed
I have a 7800XT
idt its a "system issue", just discord touching stuff as usual lmao
I am
i am also having this problem
I mean yeah its breaking sandboxing, absolutely.
Still no good on modded official, on Wayland. Dammit...
still nothing
What is the difference between vencord and vesktop?
Vesktop is discord prepackaged with vencord and targeted to linux users (there is windows builds)
and macos
I'll probably use vesktop when I upgrade my old laptop from windows 10 to linux, thank you
flatpak gives apps their own XDG_RUNTIME_DIR which should be $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/app/dev.vencord.vesktop/[some random name here]
we give the vesktop flatpak access to xdg-run/pipewire-0 which should be $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pipewire-0
@topaz canopy ls $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
whats in there?
that confirms it's a system issue
you need hardware acceleration to play hevc videos
welp idk
:/
Hello. Realised this might be the proper channel. I've been searching for a while now, just checking with you all here, does arrpc work on arch flatpak Vesktop naturally or do I need to tweak it to show my steam activity?
My screensharing with Vesktop looks like a powerpoint slideshow on Windows 11, is there anything I can do to improve performance?
flatpak cannot access /proc. if you want process scanning you need to use arrpc out of the sandbox by disabling built-in arrpc and using the plugin. This then also removes websocket RPC (discord in your browser communicating with vesktop) so theres a trade off.
Aha
if youre using IPC RPC you need to setup the correct symlinks and such so out of sandbox and other sandboxxed apps can access vesktops sandboxxed ipc
(if you dont use the plugin + external arrpc)
Hey, I have Discord rich presence turned on in settings but my games don't show up
Oh it's only some games. Weird
I have the Vesktop/Vencord Flatpak (I don't know which it is, but it's called Vesktop) and I can't drag and drop files into the program even when I enable access to all system files. The interface shows that it knows I'm trying to drag and drop, but the cursor shows π« and it fails to even attempt to upload. The system OS is KDE Neon. This also happened on my Arch system, but the Vencord Installer off the AUR fixed these things.
even when I enable access to all system files
you probably didn't restart the app
or did it wrong
use flatseal
or simply dont use flatpak
Or use the KDE settings, which can do basically the same thing as flatseal
I have done all of that
well
lemme restart again to make sure
ok it works now. classic tech support moment
I can view the videos perfectly fine in VLC, but not in Vesktop, the official client, or the browser client in Brave. Maybe it's an issue with Chromium or smthn?
(hypothesis because they all use Chromium to render web content)
because VLC has a software decoder for hevc, chromium doesn't.
chromium needs hardware decoder (vaapi) to decode it
...that's...frustrating. So this laptop is already growing outdated after 3, 4-ish years?
no you simply don't have working hardware decode
I sent multiple links for how to get it to work
Having a look through those, and doing a bit of Googling ||actually Brave Searching, but it doesn't roll off the tongue as well--and who's counting?||
user settings -> vesktop settings
disable arRPC there
I'mma try adding nvidia-vaapi-driver to hardware.graphics.extraPackages... π€πΌ
unneeded on latest chromium
thank you
anyway yeah that doesnt work on chromium
can disable discord sharing the activity in privacy settings to maintain web discord websocket comms
I have an Intel iGPU in here too...
oh then your igpu simply lacks the decoder
I just have a modular config--wouldn't want to put Intel drivers into an NVIDIA hardware-focussed module π
Created meself a module...

One rebuild and reboot later...https://tenor.com/view/rage-angry-pissed-off-office-throw-gif-17229290
focus on getting chromium to decode and report it can decode that codec
It's late. I'm getting tired. Maybe I should pick this back up once I've gotten some sleep and I'm not so irritable...
hello, i am having issues getting translucency to work. macos sequoia, and have force updated vesktop. option is checked and have restarted client
It is broken in vesktop
Stock discord works with it though and itβs usually faster on macOS anyway
fix
Iβm lazy
Itβs just changing something something vibrancy to something something βsidebarβ but that should be customizable and toggleable but soo much effort
There was an issue about this which was closed for some reason even though vesktop has never had translucency working on macOS and it wasnβt solved
i see
i cant install it to discord as i don't have sudo permissions
is there a way to do via command if i try install it on a discord install on my user folder instead of like for the whole system
like if i have discord installed here /Users/user/Desktop/apps/Discord.app
mm whats the step to make vesktop not log you out after a reboot?
im bad at ctrl f cant find it π

Disables the 'HOLD UP' banner in the console. As a side effect, also prevents Discord from hiding your token, which prevents random logouts.

can i enable desktop refresh (new ui) using vencord?
π #π₯-vencord-support-π₯
(Auto-response invoked by @oblique valley)
when i enter devtools there's this HTML for the UI, however, i can't find it in the code of Vesktop. Does that mean the HTML gets fetched from Discord's servers or built from the code somehow?
And how can i do something such as adding my own custom elements to Vesktop keeping the stuff above in mind?
vesktop is built with electron
it's like web discord
not a browser
ok so the HTML does come from Discord's site
so like, how does Vesktop even add extra buttons to the settings menus and stuff
how does this work then
does it like inject extra HTML from the TS code?
seems like stuff like that isnt done very many times like at all
so my question is
how does this actually work then
how does it do this
I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue, but when I open the "Share your screen" menu, and close it by pressing the X in the top right, my whole Vesktop client crashes with the following error
[81395:0315/002000.128624:ERROR:screencast_portal.cc(367)] Failed to start the screen cast session.

[1] 81395 segmentation fault (core dumped) vesktop
no one told me i had to install rpm to build/package vesktop from source
and ofc it failed
lmao
i never coded with electron
ok so
i had an issue with vesktop not running at first and i solved it with this
sudo chown root /opt/Vesktop/chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 /opt/Vesktop/chrome-sandbox
to make the sandbox work
but
im trying to run a seperate vestkop
it's the same thing pretty much but it's a different executable
and im getting this (that tmp directory never even exists AFAIK)
don't use this website they're sus π
why
i searched about electron, and it DOES USE HTML, CSS, JSS
i know that
that is not what i am asking
also i dont use google, i use duckduckgo
whats wrong about that
cool
how do i get around thids
this is the workaround that worked for the main vesktop
you can see the /opt/ directory
it doesnt work for the other vesktop
what other vesktop?
its using a different sandbox directory that doesnt seem to exist
you can use vesktop .deb and flatpak
one is installed seperately and the other is a seperate appimage that may or may not be the same version
basically my main vesktop i installed from a .deb through apt and it works
maybe you should try to ctrl f for appimage in that issue
the other vesktop doesnt
it only lists the issue for appimage and says that the solutions presented dont work for it
so if i cant get it to work
i would want to install
somehow
but how do i install two seperate vesktops
don't use appimage
.
why does vesktop keep logging me out
Bump
electron issue, just select a window and dismiss from within Vesktop.
vp nodevtools
Disables the 'HOLD UP' banner in the console. As a side effect, also prevents Discord from hiding your token, which prevents random logouts.
Vee
"prevents..., which prevents..."
how to interpret that
does it mean that preventing the first clause stuff also acts to prevent the stuff in the second clause, or does it mean that the stuff in the first clause is what prevents the second clause, and so preventing the first clause negates that
?
the sentence is unclear to me, i see two possible interpretations so i cant understand it properly
Stop discord from hiding your token, which in turn stops random logouts
"As a side effect, also prevents Discord from hiding your token, which prevents random logouts."
-> prevents Discord from hiding your token
-> Discord hiding your token causes logouts
-> preventing Discord from hiding your token prevents Discord from randomly logging you out
ok so i changed something in the source code, ran pnpm package, waited until linux-unpacked got built, then opened up the vesktop executable and...
nothing has changed, it's exactly as if the app hasnt been changed at all
does me having the actual official vesktop installed cause issues?
cuz like, i thought since im opening a seperate executable it would be fine
but somehow even my DE recognizes its the same app
maybe thats why?
or maybe not?
idk
will be there fix for cccooodddeeecccsss?
Ah okay! Is the beta client using a newer version of electron? Or is this just waiting for an upstream fix?
If you are guys having crashes every restart but it recovers it and you can normally use Vencord, disable @silk current's plugin called "NewPluginsManager" and crashes will be gone. This was driving me crazy for at least 1-2 months every time i restarted discord
someone should not even be asking for unofficial plugin support so this message is irrelevant
you will report issue in the newpluginsmanager thread
I am just sharing in case someone has similar experience, understandable
Did not index
Can't know if there is a thread because : Discord developers are braindead
Maybe it doesn't exist
I found it manually[It was really not my fault, otherwise if discord indexed properly i would've written there instead in this chat]
So blame discord devs for this one
Anyone know if there's a plugin to fetch currently playing song using MPRIS, similar to Soulseek/Nicotine?
Would be neat to have a slash command to do this, like /now
no
you could use a lastfm scrobbler and @loud nest

hi guys, where is vesktop download page?
Related to this issue https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/758 Im currently on a Nvidia laptop and h265/hevc playback doesn't work like on my AMD system, even with the arguments.
cause you're on novideo
don't think it's possible to make it work
Oh
@fervent sky or are there some other flags for nvidia
Do you use linux? Do you want to use a modded client? Do you want to reinstall vencord everytime discord gets an update?
No, Yes No.
Then I would suggest installing vesktop.
I use vesktop because I don't want to keep reinstalling vencord.
Its pretty much a similar experiance minus global keybindings AFAIK.
--enable-features=VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs
Likely won't work but the switch is there for testing
@fervent sky removes your liver sorryyyy
--ignore-gpu-blocklist --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workaround these as well
likely also need vulkan if youre on wayland
I did --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,VaapiVideoDecoder,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE --ignore-gpu-blocklist --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workaround for flags and still no bueno :/
how are you testing
are you using nouveau or proprietary driver
Im on arch using nvidia-dkms

Vesktop already passes accelerated encode and decode flags if you have the hw accel switch on in vesktop
pulled down the latest commit
make sure you even have working vaapi https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration#Verifying_VA-API
pnpm start {flags here}
wayland or x11
I don't remember if that's even a thing
no viewing if accelerated encode and decode is working
it is
where is the vesktop download?
@south pebble since youre on nvidia you should really just focus on getting acceleration working in pure chromium
Merci friend
wayland. :/
focus on accelerated chromium before trying in an electron app like vesktop
checkout the arch forums chromium hw acceleration support thread
just click the x
Is this a common thing?
only when you sign in,.
Strange
its for people with security keys its not strange
I don't have one, I wasn't expecting it.
how would I check if hardware acceleration is working on chromium?
nvm chrome://gpu/
@south pebble Youre kind of out of luck for vaapi on nvidia proprietary in chromium, just checked latest info
go harass nvidia support to stop being stupid
I installed libva-nvidia-driver and got valid output from vainfo I tried running with the flags again to no avail
ran the same flags on chromium only to see that vulkan was the only thing that changed
high key this is a pain in the ass
that doesnt work in chromium
either harass nvidia support for vaapi, pay a dev to add vulkan video support to chromium or pay elFarto to add chromium support to that vaapi -> nvdec layer
I think it would be less of a back bending challange to just download any h265 video and watch it with vlc ngl
its not that horrible of a issue
hevc terrible format so stupid that youre not allowed to ship software decoders for it
actually TERRIBLE
does vesktop softlock for anyone when trying to upload files? like i can still see new messages but i cannot interact with the window whatsoever
no useful output when running from console either
openSUSE Tumbleweed, both flatpak and rpm have this issue
i have this theme when open vesktop, i dont have any theme installed,is this a feature?
turn this off
no, i mean the centered title, the user....
one of these then probably

Is there any way to make vesktop (and by extention discord) support a more varied range of ffmpeg codecs and encodings?
For example this, I dont understand why Discord wont display it. Its a mp4, however it is using 32 bit signed pmc codec @ 96Khz.
Where video?
β Audio --aid=1 (aac 2ch 48000 Hz 156 kbps) [default]
AO: [pipewire] 48000Hz stereo 2ch floatp
File: Draft_1_-_Emray_Audio_Experiment.mp4?ex=67d6c0ea&is=67d56f6a&...
Size: 2.912 MiB Format/Protocol: mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2
Total Cache: 6.24 MiB (146.3 sec)
Audio: AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) [LC] AO: pipewire
Device: Autoselect device AO Volume: 3%

Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 119 kbps
A: 00:00:10 / 00:02:34 (7%) Cache: 144s/6MB
Aint a video, in reality its a song.
Probably would've encoded as .wav
but guess what, discord doesnt like flac or wav.
The "video" works in even stupid wmp, so it is a discord issue
Discord just doesn't embed mp4s without video
never has (iirc) and we aren't gonna put in the work to change that
It has nothing to do with the codec
Is there a build in way to export (group) messages?
hi i am having an issue similar to this post -> reddit.com/r/hyprland/comments/1j0wgwc/xwaylandvideobridge_causing_tearing_and_choppy/

hi nerds
im on arch linux, vesktop.
When I switch channels, vesktop will often freeze requiring a restart (not reload)
this most often happens with dms.
its been going on for a while and I really just can't work with it anymore.
oddly, in this state I can still type and interact via the keyboard, but any buttons/links will not respond.
If anyone can help me out, I'd appreicate it.
I checked #1257025907625951423 searching "freeze"
when you get a ping/dm?
more specifically when switching channels, at least that's what I observed
I'm not exactly sure, I can't replicate it
it just happens
no big links im guessing
hang on ping me again real quick
@mystic spade
no its not pings
it doesnt make sense for it to freeze when switching channels unless it's a gpu issue
if it's notifications then this is why https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Discord#Discord_freezes_after_getting_pinged_or_messaged
run from command line to get terminal output
attach as file on discord
I actually have hardware acceleration disabled for an unrelated issue (encoding discrepencies on chromium/windows)
it happened with and without hardware acceleration

try again lmao

what the fuck
why does it work now
does it specifically have to be dms?
hm

got it I think
seems to be focus related
it looks like unfocusing and refocusing allows control again
ill dm you the video

Not a vencord or vesktop issue (assuming Iβm right)
Please check if you have Legacy Chat Input enabled in Settings > Accessibility
i don't have it on
it isnt the mouse, i can right click elsewhere, even other spots in discord
i could try installing the official discord client to see if its broken there
reinstall vesktop
it's not
I thought it was mentioned here the codec issue was?
Already tried, both with the installer and manually
Discord Desktop app: should generally work. if it doesn't, it means you either disabled hardware acceleration (don't) or your gpu doesn't support hevc, in which case you should make sure you have gpu drivers up to date
Web: Switch to a different browser, all big brand browsers should work fine
Vesktop: On Linux you need to pass a bunch of flags, on windows idk. If Linux, just link them these

There really needs to be a better way of handling the case of notifications not working on Linux, I have to perpetually be on do not disturb otherwise any notification freezes discord and I have to restart it.

I found a similar issue for Signal which explains it
I've run into the same problem today - same error message - seems to hang in or near libnotify. Figured out this was because I wasn't running a notification daemon. I don't tend to run one because I don't use a "desktop environment", just a window manager. I agree with @rahra that the software should fail more gracefully, either bundling its own fallback notification system (like Firefox?) or (preferably) reporting an error via the UI that a notification daemon should be installed and running in order to get notifications.
Retracted, unless itβs possible for Vesktop to fix it, because this is a discord issue
(discord:11213): libnotify-WARNING **: 14:08:57.511: Failed to connect to proxy

You need a notification daemon, the freezing happens on stock discord too and thus is a discord issue
.
just... have a notification daemon
this is such a minor issue and not something we are going to fix like.. just have a notification daemon
Still seems a little silly when the fix is basically just a tryβ¦catch, but at this point Iβd rather pester discord for it to be fixed now that I know itβs a discord issue
no it isn't that easy. stop being so overconfident while having no idea what you're talking about
and it's not a discord issue either
right because
try {
// whatever code to send a notification
} catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}
wouldn't work. And if it really doesn't then that's an issue with whatever actually handles that part for entirely locking up discord, in which case, understandable
But when someone has 90% of apps work just fine except for the other 10% because they don't bother to handle the edge case of not having working notifications, it's rather annoying
yes it wouldn't work. once again stop being overconfident while having no idea what you're talking about
...did you read the other half of that message???
Also wrong
for the third time stop being overconfident while having no idea what you're talking about
it's an issue with electron and not fixable. the fix is to install a notification daemon because without one your system is essentially broken
Great support guys, really, great support, it's almost on par with the ProjectE discord!
lol
someone should report it to electron
there were already multiple reports in the past but always closed without resolution
because vesktop uses the discord web build and not the app build so discord thinks its ran in the browser and not in the app
can i hide it?
with css yeah
how?
put this into quick css
div[class*="listItem__"]:has([data-list-item-id="guildsnav___app-download-button"]) {
display: none;
}
is quickcss enabled
this is the one i use
display: none;
}```
try adding !important after the none:
div[class*="listItem__"]:has([data-list-item-id="guildsnav___app-download-button"]) {
display: none !important;
}
what could i do about this?
are you running the arRPC server?
doesnt vesktop automatically run it
no
alright
actually - im sorry - check this option in the vesktop settings tab, you only need to run the server manually if this doesnt work for you
(i dont use vesktop enough myself to remember that existed)
you also dont need the plugin with this iirc
can anyone else not play videos?
I also cannot play videos, on arch linux
only audio, froze on start frame π
oop here's my solution I think
ah I bet it's because I didn't install the graphics drivers for my gpu yet. will update
nope didn't solve
You are running this font out of free will. That's insane xD
does vesktop break discord updates
vesktop isn't discord desktop
it loads the discord website
there are no discord updates on vesktop
oh what is vesktop then
A custom app
i thought its desktop with vencord injected?
should i get vencord or vesktop
Depends what system you are on
That too
"doesn't work" and similar are not very helpful. To help you, we need more info!
Describe your issue with as much detail as possible.
What exactly did you try to do?
What did you expect to happen?
What happened instead?
Does this issue always happen, or only sometimes?
If possible, provide steps how to reproduce the issue
If appropriate, provide screenshots or screen recordings
For Vencord issues:
- If you are able to, run the

afaik you can't, but fix that issue

since H265/HEVC support is broken would something similar to h264ify (I read the code for it, it doesnt reencode x265 to x264 it simply tells YouTube that its unsupported) work as a work around?
^
The flags work for me while in a dev enviroment, however when passed to flatpak they either don't get passed or don't work.
its not passing the arguments lol
Happens with me as well. I've reinstalled, repaired, gone no plugins / themes, etc...

how is this more simple then trying to get a new theme ( With lots of help I finally managed to get a theme)
huh
the transparency of my theme broke and i can't find why
i have these as my settings and here is the css of my theme
@import url("./catppuccin-latte.theme.css");
.theme-light {
--background-primary: rgba(240, 240, 252, 0.3);
--background-secondary: rgba(236, 251, 255, 0.3);
--background-tertiary: rgba(197, 197, 252, 0.2);
--scrollbar-auto-scrollbar-color-thumb: #ffb066;
--scrollbar-auto-scrollbar-color-track: #e8e4dc;
::-webkit-scrollbar{
width: 7px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-track{
background:#ffffff;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb{
background: #88c0d0;
border-radius: 10px;
}
}
i'm sorry if this is a known issue with an easy fix, i'm kind of a noob when it comes to these kind of tools
basically, everything in the theme works as it used to but the background is no longer transparent
Hi! In Vesktop, you can view the stream in a separate window, but is there any way to pin this window on top of all the others?
Im attempting to develop a custom theme, and I'm something odd about my css selectors:
I want to target the list items immediately before and after the selected channel, but my selectors are instead applying the styles to ALL items before and after the selected channel.
ul[aria-label="Channels"] li.selected_12345~li {styles for item after selected}
ul[aria-label="Channels"] li:has(~li.selected_12345) {styles for item before selected}
i suggest you request access to #π¨-theme-development using #π©-modmail and ask there
it shouldn't be a restricted channel
I have an issue where the RPC doesn't show what I'm playing. For example, if i run minecraft, it'll not show
another example is steam games like adofai
Any ways to fix this?
Im using the flatpak version of vesktop
it's fucked up like this, happened to my friend on vanilla desktop vencord, aka what it tells you to use π
ahh I see, so no workaround atm?
no idea
oh i came to complain about h.265 videos not playing in discord but that dude just did
it only affects h.265 videos
and only in vesktop
/vencord-debug
Sorry, I am on Fedora Linux using the Vesktop Flatpak. I tried to do /vencord-debug and it does nothing. The issue happens when I try to screenshare or turn on video. It shows me that I am screen/video sharing, but the others in the call cannot see it. I has happened with multiple people and not with Desktop Discord (w/ or w/o Vencord installed).
I'm having a weird issue where the "Loading Vesktop..." screen will appear when I launch the client (as expected), but then will just...not close. The client also will not open by itself. I have click the Vencord icon in my tray to get the client to pop up. I'm aware it's a (mostly) cosmetic issue, but is rather annoying.
Fedora 41
Kernel Rev 6.13.6-200.fc41.x86_64
KDE Rev 6.3.3
/vencord-debug has decided to not work for me:
stable 378984 (29dd428) Build Override: N/A
Vencord 6f5fd5d (Vesktop v1.5.5)
Electron 34.1.0
Chromium 132.0.6834.194
hewwo :3
i've been using vesktop for like 6 or 7 months now and never knew game detection was supposed to work until a friend had it working on their end (we're both linux users)
is this a common issue? i'm on the aur version, not flatpak
enable arrpc, if process scanning still doesnt detect the game its likely the game is missing from the detectable db
do i need arrpc even if it's not a rich presence game?
yes arrpc is needed
last time i tried arrpc with vesktop it only detected lutris games but nothing via steam
native linux games are typically not detected as Discord themselves doesnt include them in the detectable data base
arrpc does more than rich game integrated rich pressense
process scanning and web client integration
sounds like the did-finish-load event is just never firing
weird
not entirely sure
any abnormal logs?
run Vesktop from your terminal
and do ctrl+shift+i while focused on the starting vesktop splash
okay so I think my system is literally possessed
I asked for help in the support channel and the issue just magically vanishes
likely a fucked up cache
I think so
running from the terminal it doesn't occur but trying to luanch it from whatever tf i have on my taskbar causes it but only sometimes
what's the contents of the .desktop
ok the .desktop file is somehow super fucked up
I think that's the problem
idk how that even happened

alright I wrote a new .desktop file and life is good now π thank you for your emotional support even though I am a dumbass
Does that go for flatpak as well?
Installed it via flatpak
Is it a common issue for the colors on Vesktop to be a little bit wrong on Arch, like a reddish pink icon looks like an overexposed bluish pink and if I screenshot it and paste said screenshot into discord I still see it as the wrong color but on another device the screenshot is the right color, and outside of discord the screenshot is the right color
Iβm just wondering if itβs happened to other people, if not itβs probably something wrong with my configuration
do you have some funny filters in your css or something
