[torn oasis]

right click the vesktop tray icon > repair vesktop

[unborn shale]

all of my settings aren't loading. Having the same error

okay now it worked

it bugged at first

[steel pumice]

does vesktop have an equivalent to discord-ipc-0?

the unix socket

[oblique valley]

yes

arrpc makes it

[granite moth]

i meant this menu

and audio problems

[tawny remnant]

Hello, me and a friend just started using vesktop, the problem is that when my friend shares screen, I can heard everything, like myself and other sounds of the system and not just the app the person is sharing, any idea how can i fix it?

[torn oasis]

windows vesktop issue

no fix yet (probably never coming )

[sleek osprey]

Did you get any leads on this? I'm having the same problem

[oblique valley]

spoofing user agent can break voice

[granite moth]

Any help how to fix ts?

[storm flare]

is there a way to make impliment right clicking invites to servers to see the info of it or do i have to join it for that ;-;

theres no question channel or suggestion channel so ima js ask it here

[dapper stag]

use plugin search

[storm flare]

thats a plugin for vencord or a whole diff app?

i dont see it man thts why im asking 💔

[storm flare]

gng....
did u read what i said at all ;-;

i said WITHOUT needing to join the server

peak

[dapper stag]

oh you said invites

[storm flare]

yeahh

[dapper stag]

just join

[storm flare]

too lazy, plus im always stocking up on servers and i get to the max eventually, (my pc lag's every time i leave one ;-;)

[dapper stag]

go to this page https://discord.com/api/invites/CODE_HERE

and you can see data

[storm flare]

btw whats the difference between these

[dapper stag]

vai what's the difference

[atomic vortex]

The difference between "x64 Portable Download" and "arm64 Portable Download" relates to the processor architecture of your computer.

• x64 (also known as x86-64, AMD64, or Intel 64): This is the predominant 64-bit processor architecture found in most desktop PCs, laptops, and servers, typically from Intel and AMD. These processors are generally built for performance and are common in machines that run Windows or Linux.
• arm64 (also known as AArch64 or ARMv8-A): This is a 64-bit instruction set architecture for ARM processors. ARM64 processors are designed for power efficiency and low power consumption, making them common in smartphones, tablets, and increasingly in laptops (such as Apple's M-series Macs) and some newer Windows devices.

You should choose the download that matches your computer's processor architecture. Running software compiled for the wrong architecture is generally not possible natively.

How to check your processor architecture:

• On Windows: Go to Settings > System > About and look under "System type" for "x64-based processor" or "ARM-based processor".
• On macOS: Click the Apple menu > About This Mac. If you have an Intel processor, it will likely say "Intel" or "x86_64". If you have an Apple M-series chip (like M1, M2), it's an ARM-based processor.

[storm flare]

wow.

ohhh, so basically one is for mobile

gotcha

[storm flare]

that doesnt tell me who's in it ;-;

i mainly asked bc i wanted to see if my friends was in the servers

[austere panther]

no, just arm-based computers

[storm flare]

same thing 🤷‍♂️

[random radish]

anyone know why vesktop on macos has an empty notification badge when there are no notifications?

instead of just no badge

[austere panther]

not really
vencord/vesktop don't support mobile

[storm flare]

oh

[steel pumice]

where is it located?

[dapper stag]

disable unread badge in discord notification settings

[random radish]

oh thank you, thats bizarre i forgot that was even a feature in discord

didnt realize this app didnt import all my discord settings like it did my vencord settings

honestly just installed it bc on macos tahoe it supports the new button size, window corner radius, and dynamic app icons

though id love an option to switch it to have the normal discord app icon

all the app settings seem to be tailored for windows lol wtf is a tray

[austere panther]

small icon on the menu bar

[bitter hearth]

a recent update has caused an issue where screen sharing is locked at 720p 30fps (or 60fps some cases)
this issue only occurs on vesktop, how can i fix it?

environment - archlinux / gnome(wayland)

[torn oasis]

visual bug

the stream will still be at whatever resolution you chose

[bitter hearth]

when i watch someone else's screenshare, it also shows only 720p, is this a bug as well?

some cases are like this

[torn oasis]

im sure about you screensharing but not about streams you watch
theres a debugging option in the voice settings that lets you see an overlay with stream info (resolution, codec and bitrate), enable that and see

[bitter hearth]

ok, thx

[gaunt sentinel]

wtf

congrats on <@&1244313853357981787>

[gaunt idol]

uuuuuh

why is it when I tab out of my vesktop it just stops as if it disconnected from the internet

[cloud sentinel]

Linux Vesktop. Every time my computer goes idle I get logged out of my active account and the app goes back to the account selection screen

[grim lake]

[cloud sentinel]

thanks

[chrome stag]

They log in to Discord with a computer, but it shows that they are logged in from a console. Is Spoof Platform safe?

[proud raptor]

Nah and never will be
Don't lie about OS either
And thats not related to vesktop

[open bloom]

sir please check your dm i have been waiting for 3 days

[robust bluff]

facing the same issue, did you figure anything out?

[jovial ibex]

nope, but my issue comes and goes, it seems to be working fine right now but might break again. I'm not sure why

[robust bluff]

same^^

[rain root]

hi! audio forwarding doesn't work for me

[rain root]

when i try forwarding audio

[oblique valley]

does this happen without vencord

[somber laurel]

Hey for some reason when i'm using Vesktop when typing it seems to be very delayed quite often, making it difficult to type quick, i've bee keeping an eye on my computer resources and it doesn't seem to be a ram, cpu, disk, or gpu issue that could cause it, I honestly have no idea what could be causing it since it works perfectly fine on vencord with the same settings please ping me if you guys need any more info

[magic shore]

Hello! For some reason, Vesktop on windows always shares all audio from the system, even if I pick a specific app. Also has no audio stream serlect option, which is shown on github. Is there any way to solve this?

[grim lake]

known

nothing we can do about it

Also has no audio stream serlect option,
only for linux

[magic shore]

Ah, that's a pity

[brazen blade]

I'm using the vesktop flatpak on gnome, and after updating recently, the titlebar is stuck in light mode. There is also a thin white bar on the left side of the window.

[prisma river]

where is the configs stored on MacOS for Vesktop?

[graceful ravine]

im guessing /Users/fum/Library/Application Support/vesktop?

well, substitute your own username haha

[prisma river]

I just did a fresh install and still unable to access the settings.

[graceful ravine]

oh maybe you want #1428809815731470547 message ?

[prisma river]

crazy thing: I went to library but not app support xD so i was on the right track lmao

[prisma river]

I did see that. I'm just trying to remove a theme atm because it makes the settings see through

[graceful ravine]

ahh well i think there's a settings.json in that folder with the theme

[prisma river]

this is annoying and hard to read

[graceful ravine]

i do have my settings in there, so try checking there :)

[prisma river]

I found the file and renamed it to .css.disabled

now I guess I need to figure out the settings

[graceful ravine]

i think there's an "enabledThemes" attribute?

i'm looking at my old settings (i had to reinstall to try and troubleshoot something) and i see that in there

there's also transparent: false in there, is it the same for you?

[prisma river]

yes

[prisma river]

and yes

[graceful ravine]

yeah, so remove the problematic theme?

[prisma river]

yep

like I said. Just need to figure out the settings panel.

[graceful ravine]

hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with screensharing on macOS...I just got a fresh 1.6.1 .dmg but when I try to screenshare with someone they report that the preview works, but trying to load the stream fails

running it with /Applications/vesktop.app/Contents/MacOS/vesktop (and giving my terminal the screensharing permission) gives the following logs:

the [OpenH264]... lines come up a bit after I start streaming. i've done a search for Failed to initialize OpenH264 encoder and WEBRTC_VIDEO_CODEC_UNKNOWN on here and haven't seen anything--which is perplexing since this is a more-or-less macOS 26.1 install. i've also confirmed that screensharing does work with regular Discord.app, and it doesn't have any encoder errors in the logs

wdym? you modified the settings.json file and it turned off all your themes?

[oblique valley]

you know you can just

vf themefix

[atomic vortex]

My themes broke and now I can't open settings or disable them

open the dev tools with CTRL + Shift + i (Cmd + Option + i on MacOs) and click on the "console" tab at the top. Then paste and run (with enter) the following code.

It will

• disable custom css (you can turn it back on in Vencord Settings)
• copy your current theme links to your clipboard as a backup
• remove all themes

(() => {
    Vencord.Settings.useQuickCss = false
    try {
        const copy = window.copy ?? Vencord.Webpack.Common.Clipboard.copy
        copy(Vencord.Settings.themeLinks.join("\n"))
    } catch { }
    Vencord.Settings.themeLinks = []
    Vencord.Settings.enabledThemes = []
})()

[oblique valley]

right

[prisma river]

I removed the problematic theme. Full quit and relaunch. Enabled a different theme (the GGO Kirito from BD’s site) full quit /relaunch. just fine.

Disable the sidebar for betterfolders from settings.json > quit relaunch.

Fucking nada damn thing was left enabled after that.

Just mildly frustrating issues I guess

How does one get game activity to work on Vesktop and Windows exactly? arRPC is enabled, "Share my activity" is ticked on, but none of the games are being picked up

[torn oasis]

if you want better game detection you're better off using the desktop client with vencord

arrpc can be very weird especially on windows, from my experience

[rocky chasm]

Hopefully it's not forbidden to mention other projects here, but I gave Equibop a shot for a few days. It comes with arRPC as well, but also has a plugin that needs to be enabled, and when it's on, it just works. It's a web based client much like Vesktop.

Unfortunately Equibop has larger problems than game detection, so I'm back to Vesktop. Maybe all I need is some plugin as well?

[dapper stag]

no

[torn oasis]

go back to the 1.5.8 tag on https://github.com/vencord/vesktop

[vapid dew]

ty :3

[gaunt sentinel]

why downgrade vesktop

when customizing app assets is right there

[torn oasis]

?? i didnt say to downgrade

i said to go on the gh tag

[gaunt sentinel]

yeah i'm looking at the tag

am i missing sometihng

[torn oasis]

yes because they asked for the old icons

[random radish]

anyone else noticed desktop voice messages have a bunch of latency on vesktop that they dont on normal discord with vencprd

when you click start recording it only starts recording after like half a second

pretty annoying considering desktop voice messages is literally the main reason i use vencord, its the plugin i find most useful

[dapper stag]

cant reproduce

[random radish]

ah maybe its only macos?

did you turn off noise suppression in the plugin settings

and echo cancellation

[dapper stag]

no

might just be an electron on mac limitation

want to help me see if it is?

1. Download and run https://www.electronjs.org/fiddle
2. In this field top right paste the gist url and click Load Fiddle
3. In the top left make sure the electron version is 39.2.1 then click the Run button
4. In the window that now opens press Start Recording then Stop recording and listen to the audio to see if it has the same issue you're experiencing. If yes, it's an electron/chromium issue

ok more voice message issues

voice messages i send through vesktop dont load for other people

i was sending a bunch of vms through vesktop and none would load

then i sent one with discord app and it worked

then i sent more through vesktop, and they appeared to have different waveforms but when played back for other people they were all the same as the one i sent with discord

this is on macos 26.1, vesktop voice message audio will not load for other users and voice messages will instead inherit the audio of the last voice message i sent with the normal discord app

voice messages are the single most important part of vencord for me so sadly cant use vesktop unless this gets patched

very wacky bug

voice messages on vesktop have a bunch of latency too before they start recording, which isnt present in vencord

[dapper stag]

@random radish

[random radish]

oh mb idk how i missed that ping

[random radish]

did these steps, audio sounds normal

no latency even

the issue with the audio playback not loading wasnt on my end tho, it was only for other users who tried to listen to voice messages i sent with vesktop

I don't seem to have a vesktop.desktop file please help

my friend forwardsd all the time too

wdym?

you just hold the corners and resize as any other app

are you trying to zoom discord?

press ctrl + or -

no. i meant the win u taht u can change app's windows size

[torn oasis]

are you saying you cant resize your window

disable transparency

[karmic spire]

ye.

[karmic spire]

on vesktop settings?

[torn oasis]

well where else could it be

this is why you read what you're enabling before actually turning it on

[karmic spire]

but transparency has options

and i have choose non

[torn oasis]

has it always been like this or did it start happening after you changed some settings

[torn oasis]

that doesnt look like you selected "none" to me

select none and restart vesktop

i did and i enabled every setting on vesktop settings

that idk what they do actually

precisely what you don't want to do 😭

if you dont know what something does, don't touch it

Press ctrl+shift+i, go to network tab and try forwarding message, then in devtools there will be messages, click it, and click "Preview", there should be reason why its failing

Hello

[graceful ravine]

it looks like the problem here is related to my use of the "More Space" display setting, which shows up in Settings as 1920 x 1243, but I suppose Vesktop/Electron sees it 2x as 3840 x 2496 (i think Retina is 2x anyways? but i'm not sure where the 10 extra vertical pixels come from

it's too large for the OpenH264 encoder's built in limitations i guess? (it's limited to MAX_MBS_PER_FRAME << 8 and i can see that constant defined in a couple of places as 36864)

i'm not sure what I can do to combat this...I could screenshare an app specifically, instead of the entire screen, since that probably will fit within the resolution...and i could also knock my display resolution down a bit if i really need to share my entire screen.....

i guess i'm asking if there's any way to disable OpenH264 and ask Vesktop to use a different implementation maybe? i can find this reddit thread saying VP8 is available but I don't see the setting in here

[graceful ravine]

(regular discord does have an "Advanced" section in Voice & Video settings)

(even if it's closed immediately as 'not planned' i think it's worth it in case someone else runs into it...discord isn't the easiest place to search haha and this had been annoying me for quite a bit)

[dapper stag]

what exactly is the issue? stream doesn't load?

it's either a discord or an electron/chromium issue

if you know how to code you should try reproducing this issue on https://www.electronjs.org/fiddle and report it to the electron team

although I'm not sure if I even understand your issue right :p

[graceful ravine]

the stream doesn't load for anyone viewing it, yeah...and logs show openh264 failing to initialise

I don't think it's an electron issue since it works with regular upstream discord--i think it's because vesktop forces openh264 and that can't handle my resolution? while discord uses vp8 or something......i couldn't verify that

[dapper stag]

regular discord uses their own native library for vc/screenshare so comparing to it is irrelevant

compare to chromium. try on https://discord.com/app in any chromium based browser

Is Vesktop made by the same people as Vencord? And how do I install 3rd party plugins when I use it?

[torn oasis]

1. yes
2. https://docs.vencord.dev/

[stiff dirge]

I wasn't sure if it was the same when using it, thanks a lot!

I don't seem to have a src folder though

[austere panther]

we can't help with custom plugins

[stiff dirge]

Oh

[austere panther]

read the docs carefully

[stiff dirge]

I was just lost because I wasn't sure if Vesktop and Vencord had the same installation method

[proud raptor]

not really

[stiff dirge]

I didn't look through the source guide because I thought vesktop would be modular

[graceful ravine]

the error shows up in the logs too in Google Chrome, and the person i was on a call with couldn't see it either until i switch away from Entire Screen to just the Chrome window

[dapper stag]

so it's a chrome issue?

[graceful ravine]

it's an openh264 issue, which ig Chrome and Vesktop use--i didn't know Discord had their own custom implementation that was making stuff work on their end 😓
i wonder if i can get chrome to not use it...

[dapper stag]

this switch in vesktop settings but read the caveat

[graceful ravine]

nahhh it still uses OpenH264 still

at least the logs say it does

[dapper stag]

did you restart the app fully

[graceful ravine]

i get this in vscode discord rpc plugin

is there something i configured wrong in vscode or with vesktop

im on arch linux

[proud raptor]

Are you using vesktop from flatpak?

[gaunt sentinel]

works for me

[vital orbit]

Drafted a github issue and then realized the repo doesnt accept user issues so im just gonna paste that here

Bug Description

When using the "entire system" stream audio option in Vesktop, the experience with easyeffects for audio processing is problematic. Vesktop streams audio via the EasyEffects sink, which captures the full system audio output—this includes all participants in voice chat, their streams, and other system sounds. As a direct result, everyone can hear themselves on my stream, leading to a confusing audio loop/backfeed. This is not the normal behaviour when EasyEffects is not present, Vesktop just hooks to each audio stream individually I believe.

Excluding Vesktop's audio streams from EasyEffects means that its audio is not being put through the sink, so people wont hear themselves that way, but then my effects are not applied.

Using qpwgraph, we can see how the audio is getting routed. With EasyEffects:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8edaa96e-ca1d-4c25-948a-e06a268d76db

Without EasyEffects present, we can see everything but the Chromium Vesktop streams being fed into the vencord-screen-share:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0f8e77bc-e667-4dcc-a956-41e7a61bd137

And this is the way the official discord client does it:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b087f6c9-1f06-4620-97b5-ebaa9d924792

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use EasyEffects and include processing Vesktop's audio stream
2. Stream with "entire system" audio in Vesktop
3. Other participants will hear their own voices and streams on the broadcast

Expected Behavior

• Vesktop still hooks to each application individually and does not use the EasyEffects sink, allowing it to stop itself from streaming its own audio
• Participants should not hear themselves on the stream

Environment Info:

• Vesktop version: 1.6.1
• OS: Arch Linux
• EasyEffects version: 8.0.0

[dapper stag]

just exclude the easy effects source

[vital orbit]

from vesktop? it doesnt show up no matter what

[dapper stag]

it's right there

there are a lot of easy effects sources

just figure out which ones u have to exclude

[vital orbit]

show venmic settings

[dapper stag]

defaults

damn the ui is messed up lmao

[vital orbit]

i cant get it to show me the easyeffects sources

o wait

i got them to show up but if i exclude it no audio gets captured at all

just show venmic settings idek what the defaults were anymore

im so close

[dapper stag]

I don't think there's a proper solution for this other than excluding vesktop from easyeffects

if you route vesktop through easyeffects then tell vesktop to record easyeffects it will inherently be included

[dapper stag]

@chilly wagon what do you think?

[chilly wagon]

Hm I think our rerouting might get overwritten by easyeffects, does it work with the workaround option?

Currently in a lecture, could you tldr the whole thing for me? I'll take a look tonight :)

[tacit roost]

everytime I open vesktop, it shows me sum colors then my system hangs (I can still access via ssh, but the screen isnt changing), so can sum1 help? (Im using the .deb from vencord.dev)

[keen rock]

yes

[proud raptor]

Then stop using flatpak

https://vesktop.dev/wiki/linux/flatpak/#discord-rich-presence-game-activity

[keen rock]

i see

[tepid trail]

I'm currently using Vesktop via flatpak on Fedora 43 KDE Edition and the notification badges aren't working, are there any ways to fix this issue?

[night quarry]

So the quest dont work on vesktop? installed from nixpkgs

[proud raptor]

Game quests don't work on vesktop

[tidal sable]

thank god, frankly

anyone know anything about xdg-desktop-portal? what’s the best way to go about getting rid of the 3 different dialogues that come up when trying to screenshare with vesktop

[ionic lodge]

Hey, i switched to sway today and im having a issue where clicking the screenshare button does not do anything, clicking it does nothing. the activities and soundboard buttons do work fine tho
anyone know if/how to fix this?

[tidal sable]

do you have xdg-desktop-portal-wlr

[ionic lodge]

let me check rq

[tidal sable]

if not grab that and launch it on startup

additionally, i’ve had issues using the flatpak version and this happening based on version mismatches with my kernel, nvidia drivers, and the nvidia flatpak packages that get installed too

[ionic lodge]

i do have it, is there a flag im missing in the config?

[tidal sable]

are you perchance using the flatpak version

[ionic lodge]

no aur version

[lofty ice]

anyone use a base16 theme?

[tidal sable]

hmmmm same, i’ll try when i get home, it happens usually when there’s some kind of update ponzi

[atomic vortex]

👉 #🏥-vencord-support-🏥

(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)

[ionic lodge]

but i did get it working i guess i didnt have it installed?
now it works i think, but how can i pick a window instead of a entire screen?

[tidal sable]

when screensharing you should get a pop up from xdg-desktop-portal that asks what window or if you want to screenshare a display

just match what you pick in discord, tell discord to screenshare an app, then tell xdg to pass the specific window to vesktop and you should be good to go

you might get like 3 popups lol i do, it’s annoying and that’s exactly what im asking about

[ionic lodge]

what happens with me is, when i click the screen share button
my cursor becomes a crossair/cross and i can pick between my 2 monitors but it does not let me pick the window as it would tradicionally on kde

[tidal sable]

might be something with the specific implementation -wlr uses, i’m not 100% certain but i think xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland works on sway too let me take a look

let me consult the chart …

looks like -wlr doesn’t natively support screensharing individual windows

sadly

[ionic lodge]

is there a alternative of am i cooked?

[tidal sable]

maybe you could use slurp to specify regions

but honestly idk i use hyprland with desktop portal hyprland which supports window specific sharing

[dapper stag]

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal#List_of_backends_and_interfaces

xdg-desktop-portal-wlr should work

the border corners stay rounded, i have my awesomewm config with no border radius. im on arch linux.

[obtuse fiber]

Does anyone have a fake mute plugin that allows me to disconnect, mute, and move everyone at once in the same call?

[chrome stag]

another problem i from my end is, i must use some flags to get my chromium work properly with no tearing or locking in 60hz even though i have 165hz monitor. so, what i do is to set these flags specifically which i learned from archwiki chromium page,

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE

how can i possibly pass this on an electron app, such as vesktop? so that it doesnt stay locked in 60hz.

referene: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromium#:~:text=enable-zero-copy-,Hardware video acceleration,-Note

[austere panther]

no + #🏥-vencord-support-🏥 next time

[oblique valley]

try https://vesktop.dev/wiki/linux/tips/#making-command-line-flags-permanent

[chrome stag]

i know about using flags, but using the same flags doesn't work. sorry, my phrasing was bad. i should have said, what are the equivalent flags to get the same output in electron apps such as vesktop.

[dapper stag]

well none of your flags really make sense since all they do is enable video hardware decoding

if you're experiencing low refresh rate it's likely that the entire app is running without hardware acceleration so you either turned it off or your gpu driver is broken and you will see errors in the command line output when starting Vesktop. Focus on fixing that

[chrome stag]

my gpu is intel arc a750 and probably enabling hardware decoding, fixes the lower refresh rate issue. i found those flags while reading the documentation. and, i did not implement any config for my gpu. its likely broken by default hence requires some extra config/flags to be fixed. when i was in kde plasma, everything about vesktop seemed to work fine except chromium which i learned to fix about a week ago after switching to awesomewm.

[dapper stag]

start vesktop from a terminal and look for any errors

[chrome stag]

ok

oh wait, did i mention, i have always been using flatpak

[dapper stag]

definitely worth giving non flatpak a shot if you're experiencing issues like this

[chrome stag]

probably i have to use that scary aur

just installed vekstop after long time
where to find plugin option in settings
i cant find it

[chrome stag]

on the left

it says vencord the category and then plugins

[daring ruin]

@chrome stag

[austere panther]

right click the tray icon and repair vencord

[daring ruin]

Cant find that

[chrome stag]

bro, what is that

[daring ruin]

I think i installed the wrong veeson

[daring ruin]

Vesktop..

[chrome stag]

but it looks different in my end

[austere panther]

you don't see a vesktop icon in the tray?

[daring ruin]

No

[austere panther]

it's a new settings experiment that vencord disables automatically

[solar sphinx]

Im wondering, should I use the vesktop rpm instead of the flatpak and if so, does it auto-update when I do a regular dnf update? Just making sure before switching :)

[dapper stag]

what desktop do you use

[chrome stag]

that means, mine is perfect

[torn oasis]

its in your windows taskbar

[chrome stag]

i use awesomewm with picom

[torn oasis]

theres a vesktop icon

right click that

[chrome stag]

yes it should, but sticking with flatpak is better afaik

[daring ruin]

Not working

Reinstalling it

[chrome stag]

oh wait, if you are talking about downloading the rpm from repository and manually installing then most likely no!

[gaunt sentinel]

isn't the problem that it's redesigned settings

[austere panther]

vencord disables it

[gaunt sentinel]

uhhh

idk about that

[torn oasis]

it does

[austere panther]

it does because vencord isn't compatible with it

[dapper stag]

yes it does auto update but not via dnf, it updates itself

[chrome stag]

react devs are cooking with discord everyday and making it worse

[daring ruin]

not working

[solar sphinx]

Ahh awesome, would you recommend it over the flatpak?
( btw, just saw your website, looks really cool :> )

[chrome stag]

did you use flatpak?

[austere panther]

I personally would

[daring ruin]

😓 idk i just installed one from site

[austere panther]

stuff like rich presence is much easier

[austere panther]

well no because they're on windows

[chrome stag]

then they should talk in #🏥-vencord-support-🏥

[solar sphinx]

Does rich presence work for all games when using the rpm instead of the flatpak? Because right now I had to change a couple of things in flatseal etc

[austere panther]

they're on vesktop

and their issue is specific to it, they should be in this channel

[chrome stag]

wait, isnt vesktop made for linux only?!

[solar sphinx]

No

[chrome stag]

oh hell nah

[austere panther]

it's a focus

[chrome stag]

i thought vesktop is for linux and vencord is for windows, so it was all just lie :/

[austere panther]

it should

[solar sphinx]

Awesome, thank you so much! :)

Ill give it a try

[austere panther]

no need to worry about permissions and such unlike flatpak

[austere panther]

vencord is a modification for the discord client, vesktop is a standalone client that comes with vencord

[solar sphinx]

Where is vesktop stored by default when using the rpm version?

[chrome stag]

thanks for the info

[austere panther]

/opt/Vesktop

[solar sphinx]

Awesome, thank you :)

[chrome stag]

@daring ruin you may try this one, from the official discord repo releases
https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/releases/download/v1.6.1/Vesktop-Setup-1.6.1.exe

Before that, maybe try using BC Uninstaller to remove the previously installed vesktop. Not sure if it will work.

[daring ruin]

Thankyou

[solar sphinx]

One more question, what is the name of the plugin that lets you see if someone is on their phone/pc/..., I forgot the name :')

[austere panther]

vp platformindicator

[solar sphinx]

Thank you so much! :)

[chrome stag]

bruh, how am supposed to check fps inside discord app

[austere panther]

enjoy

[solar sphinx]

vp showconnections

[solar sphinx]

one more question about this one, what exactly does it do? I don't fully understand

connected accounts as in steam etc?

[austere panther]

this stuff

[solar sphinx]

Ohhh I see, thanks a lot!

[austere panther]

anyways this is becoming more #🏥-vencord-support-🏥 aligned

head there if you have other plugin related questions

[solar sphinx]

Ohh okay, thanks for letting me know! Everything is set up on the rpm now instead of the flatpak :)

[winter ether]

i had to ask this why the icon and loading scren got replaced?

[austere panther]

copyright concerns

[winter ether]

oh ok sad

[austere panther]

you can change it back though

settings > vesktop settings > customise app assets

[winter ether]

how?

thx

[hard verge]

its for win too 😭

its more private

and better performance

[chrome stag]

@dapper stag the discord's official client from pacman was also facing similar issues then I tried these flags

--enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoEncoder
--use-gl=egl

and now it's most probably using my monitor's refresh rate! specifically after the opengl flag. these flags are a bit different the flag i use in chromium which are,

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE

[dapper stag]

do you have two gpus or something

igpu and dedicated

[chrome stag]

no, my cpu doesn't have igpu, just the gpu intel arc a750

how can i pass flags if the application is installed through flatpak?

[chrome stag]

i dont wanna install 400 mb flatseal to change some config

[dapper stag]

you can add it in flatseal

or just edit the desktop file

[chrome stag]

hello this is the default entry i copied to share/applications, how can i pass flags here?

Took it from my phone

And yes vesktop on windows11

first off, they should come and ask for help here on their own

[granite moth]

im the one that was screensharing and recording it

im on windows yes

[torn oasis]

vesktop streaming on windows doesnt work great

stick to the desktop app if you want a better experience with that (and a few other things)

[granite moth]

awh

[granite moth]

there isnt a cusom plugin is there

[torn oasis]

❓

[granite moth]

nvm

[torn oasis]

you can install custom plugins, but you wont get support if you use a dev build

[night scroll]

hello there

i search on the github and on this server for webcam problem and didn't find anything am i blind or something?

cause no matter what webcam i use the image came out all black each time

i also have problem with streaming games having poor quality but i found many post about that on the github so i suppose this will be fix eventually

anyway about the webcam is it a driver that i didn't installed or is it just a linux problem?

i am on kde 6.3.6
kernel 6.12.48-1-manjaro
using x11
processor i7-12700F
32 gb of ram
and have a nvidia 3090ti

Disable hardware acceleration (--disable-gpu or something)

[jovial bloom]

oof, that makes screenshare a slideshow for me

[waxen obsidian]

Heya y'all

The native title bar is broken for me. Is there any way to fix it? I think it broke recently, because I remember that in the past it looked native (GTK/GNOME).
Right now it looks like a broken macOS window decoration with small circles.
There's a screenshot for comparison with Spotify (ignore the transparency), which has a native title bar. I tried looking it up but haven't found a fix.

Fedora 43 (also on 42)
GNOME DE

[dapper stag]

try vesktop --ozone-platform=x11

[waxen obsidian]

Yup, that works when i start with this flag!:3 Any way to make it permanent?

[dapper stag]

https://vesktop.dev/wiki/linux/tips/#making-command-line-flags-permanent

[terse raven]

cant resize my vesktop window anymore

transparency is off

[grim lake]

Screenshot ur settings

[night scroll]

i got a screenshot of what i mean
my webcam is open and plugged, it even work on the website or cheese for example
but on the vesktop flatpak i only get black screen no matter the camera, even with my capture card is does the same thing

[signal blaze]

this still didnt fix the issue, tried launching the app today and it just crashes before the app starts

[grim lake]

Vencord ones too

[lone laurel]

guys how do I open the console in vesktop?

[carmine chasm]

Ctrl+shift+I 💀

[lone laurel]

that just opens the inbox

[carmine chasm]

what??? you're on Linux right?

[lone laurel]

yeah

[grim lake]

It definitely shouldn’t

[carmine chasm]

well i am too and it works, idk what to tell u

[lone laurel]

alright i figured it out

[carmine chasm]

what was it? were you not pressing ctrl+shift+i?

[lone laurel]

i wasn't pressing the correct shift key

[daring ruin]

any mod is free to help me?

I cant find vencord/vesktop option in my application

[grim lake]

are you using vesktop

[daring ruin]

yes

[daring ruin]

i have both browser extension and application

ok its restarting

what to do for extension

[grim lake]

did you refresh

[daring ruin]

application is working

thankyou!!

browser is workin too

thankyou !!

[fierce socket]

my vesktop is stuck loading on fedora 43, is it a known problem?

nevermind, reinstall resolved it, something borked itself

[chrome stag]

guys, im going to attempt for the second time to insert discord (electron) flags in my vesktop startup which is installed through flatpak, without flatseal. im pretty sure that i could have used flags easily, if i used the binary for system-wide installation.

[humble abyss]

is there a extension to bypass the vpn block for discord?

[chrome stag]

i can use it with wireguard-tools

[humble abyss]

weird, cuz I can't with proton

[chrome stag]

let me show you

[gaunt sentinel]

this is no good? https://discord.com/channels/1015060230222131221/1426180286646980668

[humble abyss]

I can't find the .desktop

[humble abyss]

do I need to somehow make a .desktop for it?

cuz I'm on cachyOS on my laptop

[humble abyss]

any ideas?

[chrome stag]

@dapper stag, wanna hear something? now its taking the flags (probably did yesterday too!) its just not as smooth as the chromium/browser version, thats why i probably thought it was not taking any flags. probably because my broser is using vulkan + hardware accelaration is enabled there, thats why it feels smoother. to sum up, --use-gl=egl solves the issue. thanks for your assistance so far!

[chrome stag]

the .desktop files are created by default, you gotta search them

[humble abyss]

tried finding it. desn't exist

[chrome stag]

did you use pacman?

[humble abyss]

paru helper

[humble abyss]

aka an AUR helper

[chrome stag]

cause, different methods stores them differents, im not sure where paru keeps them. without .desktop your application should not run afaik

[chrome stag]

yeah, im on arch too, but i dont use aur helpers

[gaunt sentinel]

i don't use linux but try reading down from this and see if you can find it? #🏥-vencord-support-🏥 message

[humble abyss]

I ried searching via file explorer and via command but neither turned up anything

[chrome stag]

hmm, let me try

[humble abyss]

don't have .local/share/applications either

[chrome stag]

its is created by user to override the default one, it should not exist by default

i learned about this on flatpak github yesterday

[humble abyss]

what do I even add into the folder?

[chrome stag]

you usually copy the existing one to ~/.local/share/applications/

[humble abyss]

but I don't have an existing one

[chrome stag]

@humble abyss did you try using fd or rg? command as such?

sudo fd -H -t f ".desktop$" /
# or
sudo rg --files -g "*.desktop" /

try using one by one, i got these from chatgpt 🥀

it should be smth like dev.vencord.Vesktop.desktop or something like that idk

[humble abyss]

I have vesktop.desktop in usr/share/apps

[chrome stag]

yess!!

[humble abyss]

weird that I couldn't find it before

[chrome stag]

its alright, now you know you have it

[humble abyss]

but now I edit it and add which flag?

[chrome stag]

oh, wait, i told you that i will show you that i can use discord with vpn which i still didnt, let me

[chrome stag]

https://discord.com/channels/1015060230222131221/1426180286646980668

the line that starts with Exec

oh brother, i have been using wr the whole time, still now

[humble abyss]

just editited the one in /applications but no change

[chrome stag]

you mean ~/.local/share/applications/ ?

[humble abyss]

yeah

[chrome stag]

if the application doesn't have any changes using

vesktop --user-agent-os windows

directly from the terminal, its mostly not going to work for you.

[humble abyss]

well it works when I do it from terminal

[humble abyss]

so what am I doing wrong?

[royal ocean]

Did you ever find a fix for this? I am also having problems getting stuck on DTLS Connecting.

[dapper stag]

where did you put this

[chrome stag]

you can copy the line and paste them between three backticks thats more intuitive

[humble abyss]

~/.local/share/applications

[humble abyss]

where though?

[chrome stag]

its their conf

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Vesktop
Exec=/usr/bin/vesktop --user-agent-os windows %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=vesktop
StartupWMClass=vesktop
GenericName=Internet Messenger
Categories=Network;
Keywords=discord;vencord;electron;chat;
Comment=Vesktop is a custom Discord App aiming to give you better performance and improve linux support. Vencord comes pre-installed
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/discord

[dapper stag]

your launcher is probably using the wrong file then

[chrome stag]

its okay i did on your behalf

[humble abyss]

it looks the same though in the message you sent

[chrome stag]

yeah cause i just copied and pasted yours so that if someone wants to see that

[humble abyss]

ah, so what do I change?

[chrome stag]

try to log out and log in or maybe run this

update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/

[humble abyss]

like log out of my desktop session?

[chrome stag]

yeah

[humble abyss]

finally!

ty

[chrome stag]

welcome

[humble abyss]

now all I need to figure out is how to make protonvpn minimize to the app tray when pressing x lol

and start minimized

[chrome stag]

just use wireguard-tools, its soo easy!

the proton vpn gtk app, i didnt like it, pulls bunch of dependencies that will not be used by other applications

[humble abyss]

i'd rather have proton do an autoconnect to a new server each time

unless wireguard-tools can do that

[chrome stag]

i just use when i need a little bit download speed boost, maybe you gotta figure out by yourself

[dapper stag]

there's a new protonvpn cli you might find useful but also the app already has what you want

[humble abyss]

I don't see that option

[dapper stag]

eh?

[humble abyss]

it's not there

[dapper stag]

show

did you install it from ubuntu repos or some shit

[humble abyss]

I'm on cachyos

[chrome stag]

the mirrors are same afaik

[dapper stag]

install from their website https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup

[humble abyss]

so the aur uses the same as ubuntu?

[chrome stag]

why is it colorish though?

[humble abyss]

Cosmic desktop

[chrome stag]

bruhhh

[humble abyss]

it can theme GTK apps

[dapper stag]

gtk theme

[chrome stag]

can you do

sudo pacman -S --needed proton-vpn-gtk-app

[chrome stag]

cool, barely tinker with themes

[humble abyss]

it only shows ubuntu and fedora

no arch

[chrome stag]

arch is not mentioned in their docs but proton gtk used to be on aur now its available on pacman

btw, its vesktop-support channel

[humble abyss]

it's the same package

same issue

[chrome stag]

did you use aur before?

[humble abyss]

yes

[chrome stag]

uninstall that properly and install with pacman ig

[humble abyss]

again same thing

[humble abyss]

what would wireguard-tools do that I can't with protonVpn?

[chrome stag]

wireguard is 0.23 mb and wireguard-tools is aroudn 200mb + bunch of deps. thats the only thing comes to my mind!

[humble abyss]

can it autoconnect to a server upon login?

and can I get a server easily?

[chrome stag]

you dont login, you just download bunch of conf files or one and use wg-quick up japan.conf

[humble abyss]

I'm guessing that makes a config for japan?

[chrome stag]

you can name a german conf japan

[humble abyss]

oh XD

[chrome stag]

i can reproduce this, for some reason this doesn't exist on my end too. probably because something is missing, a dep that does that job maybe?

[humble abyss]

weird, what distro you on?

[chrome stag]

arch linux, package version 4.12.0

[humble abyss]

I guess we're using the same package then

[chrome stag]

you gotta download both of these packages i guess

i aint doing this.

@humble abyss

[humble abyss]

I'll see if this works

[humble abyss]

this fixed it

[jolly coral]

for some reason in the new update on nixos im experiencing issues with screenshare encoders i cant see sharescreans on vesktop but can on discord web any fix?

[shrewd salmon]

anyone else experiencing frequent crashes on hyprland? the same plugins and settings i got is just fine on kde, is there a plugin i should be aware of that might be causing issues with hyprland?

[proud raptor]

What exact crashes

[shrewd salmon]

whenever someone messages me i get
"[49638:1120/175552.501886:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_wp_image_description.cc:219] Incomplete image description info from compositor. "

actually mb might literally just be my fault because i havent setup notifications after recent reinstall 💀

[twilit knot]

My gifs menu is completely fried (they show fine in chat though) any information/fixes on this?

[proud raptor]

Try disabling hardware acceleration (--disable-gpu or something)

[twilit knot]

oh huh, that fixes it but disabling it via the settings menu didn't fix it last time but ig I just forgot to restart the client

[gloomy delta]

I can't for the life of me get screenshare audio working, even though everything seems to be in order (ignore disabled services, i have enabled them and it didnt solve the problem)

[night scroll]

hi everyone i search on internet to try and get my webcam working but sadly got nothing working
i tried :

• using canary
• disabling hardware acceleration
• and i tried loading v4l2loopback kernel module without the exclusive_caps parameter
  so far nothing worked but i'll keep searching for solution

edit : i also tried using flatseal to give permissions to use all devices including the webcam but it didn't work either

reedit : hi everyone! i seem to have found the fix! so ummm for some reason when my usb capture card is plugged the webcam doesn't work on vesktop.
So to anyone having a black screen webcam you might want to look into unplugging your capture card before using the webcam on vesktop. I don't really know
what is causing this, and maybe removing my capture card from the vesktop webcam list could fix it idk (i'm not a programmer xp)
(ps when the webcam is open and working you can replug the capture card and use it no problem, you'll just have to unplug it each time you want to use your webcam)

[zinc abyss]

I have the same issue as this person. I have one monitor at 2560 x 1440 and another at 1600 x 900 @ 85% scale, and the window freaks out whenever I move it to the second monitor and the cursor becomes misaligned. This issue has been happening on-and-off for about a year with different solutions being required each time.

[ionic delta]

Hey! Is it possible to change the desktop icon? :^)

[carmine chasm]

if on Linux you can edit the desktop file

I think it's more an os thing than a discord thing

[ionic delta]

ok, will check

[twilit knot]

So while that fixed the green gifs, it makes discord so laggy even just typing that it's borderline unusable 🙁

I wonder if it's just a gpu driver thing or what (even tho the gifs play fine outside of the gif menu itself)
nvm I fixed it I'm just stupid

[night cloak]

It seems like Electron 38 broke it. Rebuilding the latest Vesktop using Electron 37 fixes this issue.

Workaround (Arch-based distros only):

cd vesktop-git
sed -i 's/--frozen-lockfile//g' PKGBUILD
makepkg -o
sed -i 's/39.2.1/37.1.0/g' src/vesktop/package.json
makepkg -sei```

[main torrent]

React developer tools are not showing up in my dev tools window. I have them enabled and I've already restarted Vesktop multiple times (including terminating it from btop). I'm on Arch Linux running Vesktop with Wayland on KDE Plasma and I have a custom Vencord location set for plugin development. I haven't written plugins on this Linux installation before. I'm sorry if this might be more of a Vencord issue and I'm putting this in the wrong channel, I have no idea if it's Vesktop or Vencord causing this problem or if it's even something that can be fixed on my end

[main torrent]

Extra info: Vencord seems to have successfully downloaded react dev tools, the files are here, so it's almost certainly a Vesktop issue

[oblique valley]

refresh discord

[main torrent]

I have done that several times at this point

I just bit the bullet and reinstalled Vesktop and it works now
sorry for wasting time

[brazen blade]

i use 90% scaling in kde plasma, and for some reason my mouse i completely "desynced" with the vesktop window. when i try to interact with anything suing my mouse, its actually way lower than it should be, and when i full screen the window is just stuck on the top left corner. I use the vesktop flatpak, but i think it also happened with the rpm

[brazen blade]

using --disable-features=WaylandFractionalScaleV1 seems to have fixed the issue

is there a way to change the vesktop icon in my taskbar?

i don't MIND the vencord icon, it's just kinda vastly different from Discord's, which is what i'm used to

would i need to recompile the ENTIRE .exe?

[calm trail]

yeah and it just stopped working in the middle of a convo

[heady schooner]

i think there's a way to do it on windows

[opal haven]

just know that breaking changes are bound to happen if you’re on canary, vencord will also have a really high chance of working better because any breaking changes from canary will take a few days to get to stable. Though let’s go to #🧊-off-topic-iceman-only

[heady schooner]

i wish i remembered how

yeah im on blimblows

[oblique valley]

right click the taskbar icon, then right click Vesktop, then properties

Hello. I was wondering if it was possible to change the red notification dot into white for server messages and red for mentions and DMs only (just like in Telegram).

[scenic mantle]

Oh, damn. Thank you anyway.

[safe pasture]

Hello!
I am having a weird issue with screenshare on Arch Linux on Wayland KDE since around a week or two
Whenever I screenshare for more that 20-30mins, Vesktop completely freezes and triggers a systemd-coredump that fills up my entire drive (more than 30G at least), causing other minor issues. I can cancel the codedump before the drive is full but I have to be vigilant.
I managed to find this in the journal:

traps: Media[642145] trap int3 ip:55601b7bd3fd sp:7faf590bd480 error:0 in vesktop[6cf73fd,55601709b000+9236000]```
Definitely NVIDIA related, but idk if it's due to a bad version being put out, or if it's something else interacting badly
Does anyone have an idea of what's triggering it?

Oh yeah and it seems to only trigger when I'm playing semi-demanding games? Light ones or screensharing with nothing doesn't seem to trigger it

hello, how can I fix my webcam not working in Vesktop? both native and Flatpak version have this issue. they show up in the list but the video is always black. Normal Discord does work

Hello, im on windows - i wish i could change the trayicon - can i? if so how?

[gaunt sentinel]

settings -> vesktop settings -> customize app assets

-# (for taskbar (.exe) icon you're gonna have to add it in with process hacker or something, but you're on your own with that)

[torn oasis]

is "usb3.0 capture" a capture card perchance?

ive seen someone have this issue before where their webcam wouldnt work if they had their capture card plugged in

yes, you're gonna need process hacker or something similar to change the icon of that

it shows the icon of the .exe

aah ok i see, thank you, ill look into it!

problem with ur theme probably

[blazing swallow]

I am unable to load Vesktop, I am running Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. Installed Vesktop via Flatpak and when I go to launch it I get greeted with a blank window. I attempted to run it from terminal and I got a few failed to connect to bus errors. Same issue if I am on Bazzite.

Troubleshooting steps I have done so far, is resting and trying the different branches, reinstalled the application, The normal Discord flatpak works but when running with vencord on it it does the same thing.

Does the zooming out in appearance affect the Vesktop at all?

[void fog]

Hi, my vesktop is not using voice isolation or any enhancements, I've tried everything I could but still can not find a solid fix. It fixes itself at times so its kinda random..

[orchid sierra]

the screenshare button doesn't appear to work, like when i press it doesn't show up anything, im on wayland

[worthy raptor]

do you have an xdg-desktop-portal frontend?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal#List_of_backends_and_interfaces

[orchid sierra]

i have kde plasma

[void fog]

Fixed this by creating a virtual mic and having vencord use that instead

[rose shadow]

why is screensharing on vesktop or even the official linux canary client so much laggier and lower quality than it is on windows even with a powerful computer? ive never been able to make it watchable

[tacit palm]

I believe this would pertain to vesktop and not specifically vencord, but correct me if I’m wrong. But I’m wondering if vesktop is able to be connected to an alternate endpoint other than discord, of course assuming that the alternate server’s API is fully compatible.
Or if it would be easy enough for me to clone and build from source with a different endpoint.

For context, I want to connect to spacebar.chat instead of discord

[dire egret]

On mac, and vesktop seems to be using a lot of power. Any tips/suggestions on reducing the power usage?

[slender quiver]

Just randomly had to resetup vesktop after restarting?

[worthy raptor]

probably
it is just electron
however this is uncharted territory, and as such we cant support

[severe veldt]

is there any way for me to prevent rpc from picking up a certain game? i feel like there was a setting in discord for this at some point but cant find it now

[grand zenith]

Seeing a few deprecated features in use on the dev console -

• Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread
• StorageType.persistent is deprecated. Please use standardized navigator.storage instead.
• Unload event listeners are deprecated and will be removed.

[torn oasis]

you can use the IgnoreActivities plugin to make them not appear in your status

you can remove a game from the registered games tab, but only on the regular discord client, not vesktop

this is because vesktop uses discord web and as such doesnt have game detection like discord desktop

[dapper stag]

and?

[grand zenith]

Well, I don't know how often the version of electron in use gets updated, but I know for sure that at least one of these are gonna be fully broken by may, if the answer is often.

[dapper stag]

have you looked at where these warnings are even coming from? (spoiler: not us except for the first one)

also assuming browsers will ever actually remove any of these is very optimistic :P

[grand zenith]

I did, yeah - Wasn't sure how much patching control yall have.

Anyways Sync XHRs is a choice lol - I'm curious how much of a bitch it'd be to fix

[severe veldt]

i cant seem to find the application ID anywhere in the devtools. is there some tool or method for that?

[dapper stag]

none because there is nothing to fix

[grand zenith]

Okay - let me rephrase - change to current spec

[dapper stag]

the thing that's being fetched is always cached and it has to be sync

it takes like 0.01s

[dapper stag]

why were u even looking at these, debugging anything?

[grand zenith]

was inspect elementing a friend's pfp to deepfry it lmao

results

[dire egret]

bump

[grand zenith]

I suspect it's electron.

[tacit palm]

Fair enough. I shall continue digging. I know with the official discord client I’ve been shown how to do it a while back.. but i should’ve documented the process cause i dont remember how i did it and cant find anything online. It was key value pair i think i had to add to a json file

[blissful herald]

does anyone know why streams when watching would show like this on a vesktop cachyos+niri fresh install (happened on omarchy+hyprland too) install?

[blissful herald]

hardware acceleration fixed the stream video corruption, for any future people wondering why this occured on wayland/niri/hyprland

[chrome stag]

is there a chance vesktop just stopped showing up in rofi

okay yeah flatpak vesktop just doesnt show up in rofi or noctalia shell search thing

This is awkward

[tawdry tiger]

I'm on arch linux/kde plasma/wayland and I recently switched to Vesktop. I am having issues where my friend is saying my screenshare is showing weird graphical artifacts/encoding issues. I confirmed this with another friend too, so the problem is definitely on my end. I compared to regular discord installed via pacman, and the stream appears normal, so it's a Vesktop-specific problem.

I've tried with and without hardware acceleration/video hardware acceleration in settings, neither improves the problem. I had my friend record a video from his side, to show the artifacting he's seeing on the screenshare. If you look in the top left of the recording, you can see the little clusters of pixels left behind (it's more obvious there, but it's happening across the screen). The video examples are Vesktop (problem present) vs. regular discord (no problem):

[chrome stag]

also this only happens Right now after rebooting
it showed up always until now

rebooted again and same thing !

[swift arch]

anyone know why aRPC wouldn't be working? using flatpak deb client on lubuntu 24.04.3. did some cursory backreading but couldn't find any results that could help my situation. specifically looking for mainly steam games to pick up on RPC, and i can confirm i have the native deb version of steam installed instead of a snap or flatpak. are there dependencies that i need?

[chrome stag]

nop flatpak vesktop just doesnt have rpc functioning

it says so in the download page Idk why tho

[dapper stag]

don't use flatpak

[radiant finch]

Any ideas on why OBS Virtual Camera is failing to display video in Vesktop?

• Using the webcam directly through Vesktop works as expected.
• The device is selectable but no video output is shown in Vesktop.
• It is affecting both the appimage and the flatpak.
• I've confirmed the virtual camera is working properly and displays video without issue in other applications, including the official Discord app (flatpak) and Firefox. The Discord flatpak doesn't have any permissions vesktop flatpak doesn't.
  Really scratching my head on this one. I could have sworn it was working a few weeks ago, but it seems like only Vesktop is unable to use it.
  Please @ me if you have any suggestions

[chrome stag]

so streaming is borked for me. i can get into the menu where i can decide which app is being streamed but when i press the share button it vanishes, In the top of my client it says im screensharing but then that symbol goes away a few seconds after.

heres a screencast of the issue if that helps

[swift arch]

must have missed that! i will look for an alternative package for vesktop then ty

[cinder tapir]

is my stream not going above to 720/30 on vesktop expected due to the nature of, iirc, the client being browser based?

[south nexus]

Someone has some good dotfiles to share?

[torn oasis]

just a visual bug
the stream is still at whatever resolution you chose

[cinder tapir]

ah ok, thank you

[torn oasis]

do you have a capture card plugged in that shows up in the video devices list

[chilly pier]

does vesktop support showing activity and the "registered games" settings page?

[torn oasis]

no

arRPC is the replacement for that

[radiant finch]

Nope. No other camera devices, and nothing anomalous showing in a ls /dev/video*
Well, mostly. The webcam (OBSBOT Meet SE) shows as two entries, then OBS Virtual Camera ends up being the third.

[torn oasis]

im leaning on this being an electron issue
especially with the "was working fine a few weeks ago" part

[radiant finch]

That was my best guess as well. I found some older references to similar sounding issues tracked down to an older chromium version being used in discord/vesktop compared to the apps that weren't seeing the issue, although that one was apparently solved with adding exclusive_caps=1, which OBS does.

[thorny burrow]

Hi, is there a way I can collapse the server list and dms list?

[languid phoenix]

every time i get a notification (message reaction, mention) i hear the notification sound then vencord freezes up and i can only close it with SIGKILL

[chilly pier]

how do i customize/enable arRPC?
because i want it to detect visual studio code as a game, since thats possible with official discord client.

[torn oasis]

https://vesktop.dev/wiki/linux/troubleshooting/#vesktop-freezes-after-getting-pinged-or-messaged

[torn oasis]

it should just pick up whatever youre playing automatically, you can enable it in vesktop settings

[chilly pier]

only works with official vesktop and not when built from source?

[torn oasis]

i dont see why it wouldnt work with a custom build

but keep in mind we cant help with that if thats what youre using

[chilly pier]

i know, i only asked here since i had a clear question, thank you for your help

[undone rose]

Is there a known issue with screensharing?

it keeps freezing/lagging

[undone rose]

it freezes as soon as i focus a different window

[restive oak]

im having a similar issue but for me it lags always, have you found a fix for it?

[brazen pilot]

hey, why do all my links open in vesktop's webpage thingy? Can I turn that off? Am on winblows11

[trail surge]

its in the vesktop settings

[alpine meteor]

im a linux user, i have been getting an issue for this past week where screen share either does not load at all, or loads as a very buggy looking green colored screen.
i updated vesktop just a moment ago and now the stream doesnt even start anymore when i select a window, nothing happens.

[ionic delta]

Hey! Probably redundant question, but your drivers are properly installed, right?

[alpine meteor]

yes

i am on the latest AMD mesa drivers

[ionic delta]

guhh, cant help because i know only about nvidia on linux 😭

[alpine meteor]

i promise you the issue is not driver related, i can screen share just fine using the website client for discord, but i ofcourse would much rather use vesktop

[dapper stag]

you probably enabled Hardware video acceleration in vesktop settings, disable it

[alpine meteor]

the vesktop settings tab has vanished after updating a couple minutes ago

i cant find the harware acceleration option anywhere

when i type in the settings search bar, everything disappears

I installed vesktop from the AUR

what exact package

[alpine meteor]

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vesktop

the latest from here

Actually seems not, im getting an error when updating the package

i was actually on a very old version, i thought i didnt need to update it since the app updates itself

the vesktop settings panel is still missing after updating the package

the screen no longer goes blank, but options are still missing

[dapper stag]

dont use the search bar

and use this tray option

[alpine meteor]

i have already done that

after updating the package, i am able to stream again, but i still dont know why those settings have gone missing

My themes broke and now I can't open settings or disable them

open the dev tools with CTRL + Shift + i (Cmd + Option + i on MacOs) and click on the "console" tab at the top. Then paste and run (with enter) the following code.

It will

• disable custom css (you can turn it back on in Vencord Settings)
• copy your current theme links to your clipboard as a backup
• remove all themes

(() => {
    Vencord.Settings.useQuickCss = false
    try {

[inland crow]

i cant post videos and images on vesktop for some reason

(im using the flatpak on arch)

[dapper stag]

https://vesktop.dev/wiki/linux/flatpak/#file-access

[inland crow]

doesnt work

[dapper stag]

then you need to be more specific

[inland crow]

so for example when i try to send a mp4 file

[dapper stag]

show a video recording

[inland crow]

nvm

it only happens on video files

[inland crow]

only happens in SOME videos

i can preview the videos in the os tho

[dapper stag]

open a terminal and run file path/to/your.mp4

[inland crow]

/home/greewin/Videolar/test.mp4: ISO Media, MP4 Base Media v4```

this is for the video that works

[dapper stag]

do the one that doesn't work

[inland crow]

it says "ISO Media, MP4 Base Media V1"

[dapper stag]

the most likely reason is that that video is just using weird encoding

try using handbrake to convert it to a web compatible mp4 and see if that fixes it

[inland crow]

all the pictures i have on my drive is from windows

and i can post them

it works but

i dont understand how the videos dont work

cuz theyre from windows

[inland crow]

for example this video was recorded in linux

[dapper stag]

the most likely reason is that that video is just using weird encoding

try using handbrake to convert it to a web compatible mp4 and see if that fixes it

[viral shadow]

I just want to know if the screen sharing is broken for anyone else?

Whenever I click on [Share your screen] nothing happens

[proud raptor]

#🖥-vesktop-support-🖥 message ?

[viral shadow]

I've gone and installed xdg-desktop-panel and the wlr version

but it doesn't seem to function still, do I need to restart my computer?

[feral wharf]

i was just about to ask that

installing that didnt work for me

even after a restart

[random radish]

voice messages thing i reported still not in known issues :[ i really wanna use vesktop on mac but voice message plugin being broken is a dealbreaker

[sharp marten]

just installed this on my linux pc (cachyos, gnome de), and the tray icon just isnt showing. toggled the switch so many times and yet it remains absent (i have the status icons gnome extension which shows the other tray icons fine, including legcord's when i was using that. but vesktop's icon remains elusive)

[viral shadow]

Ideally... Maybe we can just rollback while waiting?

[fiery wyvern]

vesktop causes KDE to freeze

when i open vesktop, it causes my start menu and taskbar to freeze

[mighty furnace]

My screenshares don't reach past 720p 30fps on linux even while using fakenitro, idk if its relevant but friends say its apperantly even worse. I could stream perfectly in source quality when i used vencord on windows
Is this a limitation of vesktop or something on my end

[worthy raptor]

vesktop lies, its actually more but it just says its 720p

[fiery wyvern]

how do i not have this happen?

[mighty furnace]

okay thanks, guess the bad stream quality and the screen turning black is on my end then

[worthy raptor]

never heard of that, kde's been having a lot of issues lately
please exercise rule 12

[proud raptor]

what's in system logs when you open vesktop?

[fiery wyvern]

how do i see the system logs?

[timid crescent]

happened to me too, Vesktop is unusable right now, freezed my PC

[fiery wyvern]

yeah im just using discord app for the time being

[timid crescent]

well I'm glad it's not just my problem lol

[fiery wyvern]

can you ping me if you fix the issue?
(would you like me to do the same?)

[timid crescent]

I'm not using it that often so don't count on me 💀

at first I thought it's related to Arch being updated (it likes to break things)

but the logo of Vencord has changed (it got updated) so I guess it's the fault of the program itself

[proud raptor]

journalctl -r, probably
but you need to switch to other tty (ctrl+alt+f6 would switch to tty6)

[fiery wyvern]

im still able to use keybinds and krunner

[timid crescent]

for me it freezed entire OS, like how do you manage to break things with a messaging app?

[worthy raptor]

you would be surprised
-# mem leak, most likely

[fiery wyvern]

ill comb through that rq

[feral wharf]

what do you mean

[dapper stag]

if your entire system freezes, that means your system is at fault

[timid crescent]

yeah yeah, poor people are poor because it's their fault
