#

well thanks for the fix, my last question would be then, is this a bug ? or a bad implementation or just a limitation of vesktop ?

#

should i do a bug report or something ?

barren sparrow
#

if it ships like that in flatpak it's a bug because it should run the other entry point script that is specifically for flatpak and not that one

dapper stag
#

well, Vesktop itself isn't really aware it is being run that way

#

just needs fixing

haughty wadi
#

well i guess i can just create a bug report and vendicated will close it if it's useless i guess

barren sparrow

uhh screensharing randomly broke, im confused it worked until 2 hours ago, now it doesnt

#

Hi, so despite using vencord, my discord says that my platform is web, thus not allowing me to complete some missiosns and stuff, how can i fix that?
took a look in the configs, haven't seen anything related to that

barren sparrow
#

tbf that is what the official client is too basically but vesktop is an unofficial one so discord doesn't recognize it as a dekstop client

rotund trellis
#

oh sorry, i meant vesktop, not vencord

vague halo
#

Never did, my main monitor is HDr and my secondary is not. The colors on my HDR monitor are fine but the non HDR monitor shows the colors Hyper Saturated

grim lake
#

nothing we can do about the quests

rotund trellis
#

sadly...

haughty wadi
#

yeah, that's just how vesktop is, any other custom discord clients will do the same thing, only the official discord client will work for that

barren sparrow
#

Yea because discord has an allowlist for what their servers recognize as official clients, anything else like the Electron wrapper for the web app that Vesktop is will get flagged as browser by the discord servers

#

Even if it works essentially the same way as the official desktop app that is also just an Electron wrapper around the web app

dapper stag
#

just try again

Hey I keep getting this error when trying to update vesktop on Fedora

i can not screenshare anything on vesktop, except for the vesktop window itself

how do i make my vesktop title bar same as on windows...? (with buttons minimize, maximize, close AND discord buttons in same bar)
My vesktop updated itself like a few days ago and it dissapeared, now i cant find any way to return it

#

so at the moment any time i try to select a window to stream in vesktop it just instantly crashes discord, discord tries to recover and then i cant interact with the share screen button anymore afterwards and have to restart. this consistently happens and it was working fine no more than like 5 hours ago so im lowk confused on what happened

#

also im using vencord on vesktop so

#

not exactly sure what support channel to go to here

i hate to ask since this is actually just common sense but where do i update it

same place you downloaded it from

icy dragon
#

vesktop is great so far, but only issue i have is its not showing the games im playing as my activity repost

torn oasis
icy dragon
#

i am on my desktop

#

im using vesktop

torn oasis
#

the discord desktop app

#

not vesktop

icy dragon
#

oh does vesktop not support game activity?

torn oasis
#

not in the same way the first party app does

icy dragon
#

is there a way to get it working like regular discord?

torn oasis
#

no

icy dragon
#

is there a reason why?

torn oasis
#

vesktop uses discord web and no one's found a way to implement discord's rpc server into it

icy dragon
#

ahhhh ok

barren sparrow
#

I guess you could do a helper script or something that just detects and streams rpc for discord

#

like i use vencord and the open source yt music client i use shows up in activity just fine PH_kermitthink

halcyon lava
#

hello I searched the posts and didnt find one specifically to this

#

does anyone have this issue were vesktop colors are like washed out

#

I've been trying to find any posts with someone with the same issue, Discord native is on top and vesktop bellow. running on bazzite I have no idea what it could be

halcyon lava
#

no, i also took that screenshot on the same monitor

barren sparrow
#

hdr will not change how a screenshot looks

halcyon lava
#

it did on windows, they were like super bright I remember haha

sullen dock
#

On linux the colors can be washed out if the app doesn't know how to deal with the HDR color space

#

I would know, I use HDR on linux

halcyon lava
#

I'll check that, Im pretty sure i've not touched HDR there

#

thanks

sullen dock
#

@halcyon lava Which DE do you use on Bazzite? KDE?

halcyon lava
#

yeah

#

only vesktop looks washed though

sullen dock
#

Ah ok

#

Do you use any arguments when launching vencord?

#

And do you use GPU acceleration?

atomic vortexBOT
halcyon lava
sullen dock
#

You could maybe try to see if the discoloration is fixed by disabling that

#

Other than that I wouldn't know what else to do off of the top of my head

i am in 1.6.4

yes. try on 1.6.3

halcyon lava

they look the same in 1.6.3

that's also on HDR I turned it on to see if it was a difference

dapper stag

well doesnt look washed out to me in that screenshot

For whatever reason, in the gif picker in Vesktop, most of the gifs are glitched/green. They show up fine once they've been sent though. Works fine in the regular Discord client. I've tried enabling/disabling hardware accel, i've tried reinstalling Vesktop with a fresh config, I've tried disabling gif related plugins, nothing.

barren sparrow

hm can't reproduce that personally at least
what OS you using

it doesn't output anything, it just soft crashes and then does a hot-reload (this is after crashing)

i just updated today

#

in fact, it just updated the client and then started doing this

#

i don't know why it's not 1.6.4 but the client tells me i am up to date

#

hey all is anyone working on the voice message plugin on vesktop?

#

its been months since i first reported it and the voice message plugin is still completely broken on vesktop. works fine on normal vencord but voice messages sent on vesktop either dont load or load audio from a previous voice message on other peoples clients. theres also like 1 + second delay after clicking the button before it actually starts recording, not present on normal vencord

#

idk if anyone else even uses the desktop voice message plugin but its like my favorite vencord plugin ever and this bug is the only reason i cant use vesktop, which sucks because its so much better on macos in every other way

the installation failed

#

ok this is really weird

#

idk if its fixed in 1.6.4 but every time i relaunch vesktop i get the update is available popup

#

i click install update & restart but when it finishes instead of restarting it hides the window

#

when i quit and reopen it i get the popup again so the update failed

#

maybe the updater is bugged on mac to hide the window when it finishes instead of quitting the app?

i get why it gets flagged but how do i even join servers

because yknow you can't use vpn on linux and use discord at the same time

Hello there. I have a question about Vesktop on the new Linux Mint version (22.3/Cinnamon 6.6.6). The latest version of Mint Cinnamon added support for taskbar notification badges, but I can't seem to get Vesktop to display any. I've made sure that I've enabled the default Discord setting "Enable Unread Message Badge" as well as the Vesktop-specific setting for notification badges. I've restarted/repaired but still, no dice. Also, here's my client information:

stable 488579 (28327b1) Build Override: N/A
Vencord 8ecae35 (Vesktop v1.6.4)
Electron 40.0.0

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

hey, i'm on cachyos with vesktop, and i am having an issue where vesktop is running on my discrete (nvidia) gpu rather than my integrated (intel) gpu. i am on a laptop, and don't know if this was always the case or only started happening recently. it's the only app running on the nvidia gpu which prevents it from going into a lower power state.

i am using niri window manager and running on wayland, but this issue is present regardless of if vesktop uses the wayland flag or using the default x11 configuration. niri itself is configured to not touch the nvidia gpu

is there any way to make it use the intel igpu instead of the nvidia dgpu?

disabling hardware acceleration fixes it, so that there are no processes running on nvidia, but is there any better solution?

# halcyon matrix Is there any chance that we might get banned for using vesktop ?
Will I get banned for using Vencord? Will plugin X get me banned?

Client modifications are against Discord's Terms of Service.

However, Discord is pretty indifferent about them and there are no known cases of users getting banned for using client mods! So you should generally be fine as long as you don't use any plugins that implement abusive behaviour. But no worries, all inbuilt plugins are safe to use!

Regardless, if your account is very important to you and it getting disabled would be a disaster for you, you should probably not use any client mods (not exclusive to Vencord), just to be safe

Additionally, make sure not to post screenshots with Vencord in a server where you might get banned for it

hello everybody, I just went through a few past messages to see if this is a known issue, and it seems to be, where the client gets insanely oversaturated, ie: "crunchy" when moved to a 2nd monitor?

@versed elm #🖥-vesktop-support-🖥 message some more info on the matter
if you feel like experimenting you can try versions of vesktop earlier than 1.6.0 (thats when chromium v39 was added iirc) to see if this issue persists, if it doesnt then there isnt really much of a solution unfortunately from what i can see after some quick searches in this channel and online

following some update of vesktop i believe, its color space (or something of that nature) breaks completely when moving the window across monitors

#

i'm on fedora 43 using kde plasma 6.5.5, and this issue started happening within the past week

#

only solution seems to be making vesktop open in a specific monitor and under no circumstances moving it anywhere else

#

in case it's not as visible in the video, you can see that the contrast is completely messed up here.

Hi hi, I was looking around in #1257025907625951423 and attempted to search around in here too but couldn't find anything surrounding troubleshooting streaming issues.

I run on linux, with vesktop installed via flatpak but cannot get the screenshare working in a good quality as others report low quality as if running at a lower bitrate. So far I have ruled out pipewire/xdg portals through testing with other apps. Within ://gpu it appears to have hardware acceleration enabled but could there be something I am missing?

Try disabling hardware acceleration

pacman means arch which means grabbing vesktop from the AUR

aka either using an AUR helper or manually building it

AUR already has 1.6.4 on all uploaded packages so either just need to manually install or update thru yay/paru/helper of choice

#

only getting the infinite loading screen issue still w video hw accel enabled

sharp scarab
#

could you run it in the terminal? because it should look like it works but others won't be able to see. There should be a "no video codes in common" error

dapper stag
#

discord development just uses canary or ptb (idk which)

timber sandal
sharp scarab
#

guh

timber sandal
#

so im unsure why it doesnt work at all for some users

#

or rather i didnt crash at all when trying either

sharp scarab
#

I looked at the code last night and pardon my stupid because I don't code but I think in the previous version when it couldn't find a video codec it would have a default, but now it doesn't and says no codecs are available or something?

#

I could be very wrong though. in fact I very likely am

timber sandal
#

afaik the only change that was made was to the WebScreenShareFixes plugin where before it would try to force-enable the AV1 codec when applicable but it caused more issues than not - now it just reverts to the default discord behaviour (admittedly i havent looked much deeper, its just one of the screensharing changes im aware of thats been pretty recent)

#

not actually involved on the coding side myself so im as blind as u tbh but theres also been the change to electron v40 that has caused some hdr issues w some so maybe thats the cause? wuld also explain why downgrading to 1.6.3 fixes it

sharp scarab
#

doesn't AV1 require a 4000+ GPU to use? I'll check that out and see if re-adding that webScreenShare code fixes the issues when I get home from work however, that might be it.

timber sandal
#

av1 has been added to a few new gen gpus, some amd and high-end intel is capable and thats just what im aware of on gpu side of things

#

theres also the question of decode/encode where they can do one but not the other so

#

but with how the plugin worked there was still supposed to be a fallback if av1 wasnt an option but it didnt seem to load correctly

timber sandal
#

(ill need vee to confirm if any of the shit im saying is even true tbh)

dapper stag
#

and that is not why, dont waste your time

timber sandal
#

and there we go

dapper stag
#

it's because of electron40 (really chromium at fault) or your system

timber sandal
sharp scarab
#

okay then shouldn't vesktop stay at chromium 39 until these errors get resolved?

dapper stag
#

people will always have issues, no matter the version

#

just chromium on linux things

#

these issues affect a tiny part of the userbase

sharp scarab
#

I've seen at least five reports about streaming errors in this channel alone, and likely more that haven't said anything. At the very least could we get a message in #1257025907625951423 about it?

#

atp I've been telling pretty much every other user who messages In here to downpatch which suddenly miraculously solves their streaming issues.

I have an issue on Fedora. If I use the rpm or appimage version of vesktop screensharing will freeze for other people after 20~ seconds.

if hardware accel is turned off then I have no idea what the problem is sorry. Afaik hardware accel and electron 40 are the two main reasons streaming can bork

This Batocera thing is kind of weird when it comes to support for apps, most of the time it requires a very specific old version of apps.

Somewhy the stream audio selector has visually changed slightly and now (edited) the audio selector is visually bugged; checkmarks appear on EVERY audio source besides None and Entire System if a source is selected that isn't one of those?

Hey guys, I've been using vesktop for a while and I have an issue with streaming. For some reason stream quality is super bad, like 240p@5fps sometimes. But when I'm trying to stream on windows I get full 1080p@60fps. Any suggestions on where I can look? Maybe it's pipewire issue or something else idk.

stable 490370 (33332c7) Build Override: N/A

Hello All; I tried asking about this earlier but didnt get a response. I am having an issue with updating vesktop. Whenever I try to use the official updater; I get this popup a couple seconds after clicking "Install Update and Restart". I have tried the method of "Repair Vencord" and using the devtools console command in #1257025907625951423 without luck.
System Info if needed:
Linux Kubuntu 24.04, latest kernel (6.8.0-90-generic (64-bit)) and stable discord branch.
I havent ever had this issue with the updater failing to continue its process

I remember having issues with it in the past

Ill try turning it on and off maybe an update borked it

#

Yea no dice, still busted gifs

The native discord app seems fine with vencord, ill just use that for now

every time i try copy image it doesnt work and i cant copy image at all, and even right clicking at all takes a few clicks to get

maybe the package is borked

#

ive also been experiencing a weird issue where the apps color will become insanely saturated after screen dims

#

dont know how it happens

Good evening everyone,

Is there a plugin that makes people in a voice chat with think we're muted on Discord, but in fact, everyone can hear us?

austere panther
#

don't crosspost

#

When i set the screen brightness to maximum, the colors become incredibly bright and vivid

Installed via FlatHub and running Fedora KDE environment

downgrade to 1.6.3 most likely. electron 40 bug

My rich presence doesnt work! I installed the rpm (not flatpak) and RPC is on in settings, but it is not detecting either steam games or games launched via faugus launcher. Running bazzite

#

Just read known issues, css might be it as disabling my theme fixed it

timber sandal
#

yea theres still some unoptimized/outdated css floating about so have to wait until ppl update their stuffs if u use imports

lofty nexus
#

sometimes vesktop un-fullscreens itself and shifts a bit off-screen (stays the same size)? I have one monitor; cause seems to be random.

#

does anyone have this over saturated colors on their vesktop? I am wondering before opening a new issue on github

i have problem. when i share screen, i choose 1080p/60fps, or more like 1440p. But my quality around 480p and 30fps. How fix it? Internet speed screen here

timber sandal
#

if WebScreenShareFixes is already enabled then not much more vesktop can do

#

try enabling video hardware acceleration as well but beware it can cause more issues than not

timber sandal
#

screensharing usually starts out with bad quality as well but stabilizes after a few seconds

thorny fable
#

it cause visual bugs

timber sandal
#

yea then not much to do

I also have an NVIDIA GPU so i am using something called Broadcast Box (google it). its instant streaming from whatever your OBS shows and with zero latency too. that was pretty much the only way to get a decent stream that's actually instant like Discord's is

#

where does vesktop store its files? i'd like to copy what plugins i use to my laptop

austere panther
#

make a backup in settings

#

or use vencloud

Uncomfirmed, but vesktop memory leak?

#

Vesktop crashes after streaming for some time, I haven't timed it, but I think it crashes faster when streaming higher quality

#

did they fix the inf load sytreaming from like a week or 2 ago?

#

and the crash upon stream quit?

it was working before, not it gets stuck on a loading loop, that ends with stream failed or just kills the stream

Hello where! I got a issue with screen streaming - it starts on my side, but anyone cant connect to it. When i try to stop it - vesktop freezes up and only restart is helping. What i need to check to fix it?

Hey, i've been wondering.

Does Vesktop have a Discord "old-style" theme by itself?

marble crypt
#

why are all my text box buttons (and my friend's too) gone from our vesktop

modest iron
#

What does name not resolved mean

lone ermine
#

maybe not vesktop specific but since it happens and someone here might know, my friend has had an issue where his discord client (with vencord or without) AND VESKTOP randomly freeze up and stop responding to the point he has to kill them, i have no idea what could cause this and i have now told him to try using discord in browser to see if it persists, is this likey to be an electron issue?

ionic bane
#

Does anyone know if it's possibly to modify the window controls on the Discord title bar? So for example on GNOME I have minimize and maximize disabled and only keep the close button on and moved it to the left

Most programs follow this preference, but both Discord and Vesktop keep all three and on the right. I'm unsure if that's something that Vesktop can fix before upstream does something about it (if that ever happens) but I figured I'd ask

is it super common for people to get banned for vencord? also how long is the ban is it perma or for a certain amount of time

# rancid arch is it super common for people to get banned for vencord? also how long is the ba...
Will I get banned for using Vencord? Will plugin X get me banned?

Client modifications are against Discord's Terms of Service.

However, Discord is pretty indifferent about them and there are no known cases of users getting banned for using client mods! So you should generally be fine as long as you don't use any plugins that implement abusive behaviour. But no worries, all inbuilt plugins are safe to use!

Regardless, if your account is very important to you and it getting disabled would be a disaster for you, you should probably not use any client mods (not exclusive to Vencord), just to be safe

Additionally, make sure not to post screenshots with Vencord in a server where you might get banned for it

dense ibex
#

can i make custom keybinds on vesktop? or use a command to for example mute myself?

ionic bane
timber sandal
#

its definitely doable but i wuldnt b able to personally point to the right modifiers u need

#

havent done too much w css myself

#

basically display:none the buttons minus close and reverse the order of it

Is anybody else getting the infinite dtls connecting issue?

Hi 👋 so I was making some plugins, right
And I was using ⁨⁨pnpm inject⁩⁩, which injected the stock Discord client with idk but it makes it point to my custom Vencord
But idk how to do this for Vesktop
In Vesktop's settings, I've set the custom vencord location to both my custom vencord's root, and the ⁨⁨dist⁩⁩ folder
But I'm not seeing my plugins lol, and I've restarted several times after setting each
Which is a shame, Vesktop even has a dark mode icon on macOS lol, I wanna use it so bad

It seems like I'm not seeing an app notification badge for vesktop for macOS, even though it's enabled in settings

#

And it works in the stock client

#

There we go

#

Hmm but now my plugin I made isn't working, for controlling the app badge...

I switched to the vesktop-git version of it on arch and screenshare seems to work fine again

after a few minutes of running an sdl application and vencord, the sound of either sdl application, vesktop or both disappears from the list of things that produce sound, fixed only by restarting both of them

hi everyone, so i'm using vesktop on gentoo, installed with the tar.gz to ~/bin/vesktop, and i get this weird bug. if i set my brightness to 95, then back to 100, the app gets "deep-fried". is this a known bug?

electron40 issue

#

either wait for electron to fix or downgrade to 1.6.3

dapper stag
#

wdym intentionally 😭

astral jacinth
#

its fixed on chromium 144.0.7559.109 youll have to wait for electron to have the fix as wll

timber sandal
#

so i guess adding ⁨--disable-features=WaylandWpColorManagerV1⁩ should fix the issue for those affected reading thru the post?

azure talon

and the way they 'stop' it is by forcibly restarting the app when it reaches a certain threshold
