[floral bison]

okay thats it i quit

[inner cove]

hey is there any way to spoof a game running

there's gonna be some automated age estimation from activity log stuff rolling out in march

would be nice to get ahead by just. spoofing a sexual game running

[proud raptor]

Thats not how they would be estimating your age 😭
No one actually plays nsfw games
But if seriously then no, vesktop doesnt tell discord that you are actually playing the game, only rich presence

[inner cove]

they will be rolling out an inference model though

Memor-X (@memor-x.bsky.social)

quick everyone, start playing hentai and super violent games for discord to notice you are an adult lol

[inner cove]

i'm talking about spoofing rich presence specifically so it reports me as legitimately having that game ran

[proud raptor]

Thats probably misinformation
Games are not reliable signal to determine whether you are adult, since they're way too generic

[inner cove]

so is user activity on the platform - but youtube still let me verify my age by heuristics

[proud raptor]

Well then you can just copy cmd.exe to somewhere and rename it to games executable name, then open it
Assuming youre on windows

[inner cove]

i'm running linux and i'm not giving discord dbus access to report back to home servers willy nilly like that

[proud raptor]

Then forget about spoofing
High chance these games are windows only and vesktop does not detect wine/proton games

[knotty abyss]

hello, i'm looking for some good theme where can i find them, i tried on the site better discord but there are only 6 themes

[grim lake]

Disable the filters

Also #🏥-vencord-support-🏥

[twilit bough]

I assume I’ll just need to downgrade and go from there?

[dense wasp]

run it from terminal and see if any errors appear after stopping the share

[atomic sphinx]

Heyho, I'm having an issue where the colours in discord are Very oversaturated like it's trying to do HDR? It doesn't matter what I do with the brightness of my main monitor, but if I put Vesktop on my second monitor then taking the brightness down from 100 makes the colours normal again.

[dense wasp]

downgrade to 1.6.3

[tight laurel]

vesktop on macos seems to have broken traffic light alignment atm, idk if its just me or not

it doesnt like pad itself out into its corner nicely like it did it just slaps itself over whatever is underneath it

most visible with themes like chillax

happens on all others too though

[atomic sphinx]

How does one downgrade on Bazzite/Linux exactly?

Or flatpak to be specific

[proper jolt]

use this app https://flathub.org/en/apps/io.github.flattool.Warehouse

[atomic sphinx]

oh sweet, Thanks

Awesome, that fixed it, Thanks for the help!

[restive solar]

Are there any known issues involving black boxes when screen sharing applications on fedora?

[modest iron]

where is hardware accel

it disappeared for me 💀

[desert radish]

Where is the difference between this support channel and the other one? I do not get it.

What does Vesktop do differently than vencord?

[dense wasp]

#🖥-vesktop-support-🖥 message

[desert radish]

Are there any benefits to using vesktop on windows?

[dense wasp]

it may perform better

and you won't need to repatch it every time discord pushes an update

[desert radish]

Better as in?

[dense wasp]

snappier

possibly with less ram usage

[desert radish]

Well, then its not really worth it. Vencord already works well enough. i thought it has any additional features.

[inner cove]

literal press release statement btw

[random radish]

hi guysss audio message plugin still doesnt work on vesktop macos, been 4 months, does anyone gaf yet

[thorny heath]

is there a way to make the quests auto-complete script work on vesktop? I've been trying to use aamiaa's script but it doesn't work for some reason although they were working on dc canary build.

[grim lake]

Don’t think so

[dense wasp]

game quests only work on desktop, there's no way around that

[dapper stag]

it works fine, might be a you/mac issue

fix it yourself if you care https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/blob/main/src/plugins/voiceMessages/WebRecorder.tsx

navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia does not work on macOS for audio capture due to a fundamental limitation whereby apps that want to access the system's audio require a signed kernel extension. Chromium, and by extension Electron, does not provide this.

It is possible to circumvent this limitation by capturing system audio with another macOS app like Soundflower and passing it through a virtual audio input device. This virtual device can then be queried with navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia.

mac issue

[random radish]

yes mac issue

[dapper stag]

actually i think thats only for system audio, not mic

the electron doc is confusing

[random radish]

as ive described before, when i send a voic message via vesktop, users on normal clients either cant load the audio, or it plays the audio from a voice message i previously sent without vesktop

this doesnt happen on macos with the normal vencord voice message plugin

[dapper stag]

look into why it happens/fix it urself

or find a mac dev who can do that

[torn light]

I actually saw the same 450-480mb ram usage on both

[thorny heath]

alright thanks. I'll keep the ptb installed as well for completing quests.

[alpine lily]

is it possible to disable middle mouse paste on vesktop?
its annoying the hell out of me and i just want to auto scroll

[dense wasp]

https://vesktop.dev/wiki/linux/tips/#enable-middle-click-auto-scroll

[shadow crest]

for about a week now, the client renders with weird colours. at first launch, Vesktop's entire window looks washed out, as if the saturation was lower. after some time, the window looks overly bright and saturated.

I suspect this has to do with HDR. using the RPM on Fedora Linux, KDE Plasma with HDR on, Wayland, and N*video card.

tried reinstalling, while also removing the program's data in ~/.config/vesktop/. did not fix the issue.

I did bot, it seems like there is absolutely no mention of such an issue anywhere on Github or here

[left timber]

issue with electron 40, it is known and has been talked about

[shadow crest]

any workaround?

[dense wasp]

downgrade to 1.6.3

https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/releases/download/v1.6.3/vesktop-1.6.3.x86_64.rpm

[shadow crest]

worked, thanks

[boreal spindle]

I am experiencing something weird with Vesktop. I am using Arch Linux as OS. When I try to join a voice chat using Vesktop, my PC hard reboots for a reason. This is not happening in official Discord app

[left siren]

is it possible to add a nondetected game activity like on desktop discord?

[proper jolt]

no

[left siren]

do u know if there's any plans/interest to add it or is it just not possible?

[proper jolt]

maybe the day we write our own arrpc alternative but that’s probably gonna happen in a century

it’s definitely not a priority

[bitter falcon]

can someone tell me how to download vesktop from source cuz i wanna add custome plugins and im dumb ash

[atomic vortex]

If you are trying to install plugins from the third party plugins channel, see the pinned message there.
Do not ask for further help or you will lose access to support. If you cannot figure it out with the pinned message, it's not for you.

Absolutely no support is provided with such installs. If you want to ask for help with bugs / issues, install the regular way.

oh k

[twin pecan]

Is there any way to configure RPC in vesktop to be opt-in per application? I would like to show my listening activity through a music player but can't seem to set it up without it also showing games that have rich presence support

Seems I found a plugin called IgnoreActivities which seems perfect :D

[dapper stag]

could you please build from source and see if the issue is fixed on latest electron?

install git, nodejs, pnpm

sudo dnf install git nodejs
sudo npm install -g pnpm

then

git clone https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop
cd Vesktop
pnpm i
pnpm start

See if you can reproduce the issue here. Then fully close vesktop again and (still in the same terminal), run

pnpm i electron@latest
pnpm start

see if it's fixed

[verbal gull]

videos and gifs look like this, turning off video hardware accel didnt help. also on linux

[amber gorge]

Foxy is that you? /ref /j

[prime atlas]

I just recently switched to Hyprland because I wanted to try a tiling manager, but found out my screen share is completely broken on it and im not sure what’s wrong

Every time I try to initiate a screen share the selection window pops up, and the discord preview renders correctly and allows me to select a frame rate etc, it then shows I’m streaming but never loads and the pop up to select a window comes back up again and force closing that window crashes vesktop

[torn oasis]

most likely a driver issue

[verbal gull]

probably, my system just killed itself rn

[sullen marsh]

Hello, I recently started using vesktop on my CachyOS and I‘m mostly happy with it, but there is one small issue that I discovered yesterday and I couldn‘t find anything related to it by my research: The volume of my stream sound gets adjusted automatically (after some time it gets loud and stays like this for around 10 seconds. After that the volume returns back to normal) I don‘t think that my description gives enough information to pin point any issue, so if I can provide any logs or other information about my setup I‘ll gladly do that. I appreciate any help or hint I can get to find a solution

[zealous fog]

Changing display brightness makes the UI colors over saturated.
How do you recreate this bug or crash?

1. Open Vesktop
2. Lower display brightness
3. Raise display brightness

Tested on Arch Linux, running KDE Plasma on Wayland. Vesktop is running under native Wayland. Laptop is a Lenovo Legion 7 Pro 8th gen with Nvidia + Intel graphics. The amount of change in brightness doesn't matter, even 1% triggers the bug.

[dapper stag]

#🖥-vesktop-support-🖥 message

[zealous fog]

I can confirm it fixes the issue

[dapper stag]

okay thanks

[knotty finch]

Vesktop keeps crashing when I try to edit a message... I believe it's only when I right click on something, e.g., to use the spellcheck.

update vencord

[knotty finch]

DE: GNOME 49.2
WM: Mutter (Wayland)

Update for version 1.6.4 is not available (latest version: 1.6.4, downgrade is disallowed).

so how do i separately update vencord?

[dense wasp]

settings > vencord > updater

[knotty finch]

I don't see an updater:

[knotty finch]

👍

Did not solve the problem.

It's still crashing.

file a bug report on github?

[grand tide]

When will the Vencord badges be added? @paper glen

[dense wasp]

stop pinging people

be patient

[paper glen]

Idk ur asking the cashier why prices are raised, aint in my control

[grand tide]

Can you tell me when the "no" will be added to my Discord account?

detection

[dense wasp]

what

[opal haven]

no, that’s not in their control.

stop asking

[grand tide]

Thank you

[knotty finch]

It appears that I'm not actually updating vencord through the updater. I got this error:

{
    "message": "GET https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/releases/download/devbuild/vencordDesktopRenderer.js.map failed: ConnectTimeoutError: Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: github.com:443, timeout: 10000ms)",

}

and even though it actually says I've updated, it happens instantaneously and then when I restart and return to the updater all of the updates are still listed there.

is there some way to manually install all of these vencord updates?

The same issue is happening to me in Plasma 6, though that's also on wayland.

[umbral orbit]

I wanted to switch to the vesktop but everytime I use it, it just adjust my mic volume automaticly. How can I turn it off? When it adjust my mic to 100% no one understands me

[dapper stag]

#🖥-vesktop-support-🖥 message

[umbral orbit]

thank you

and also one thing, can I make it into one? I dont want to have both discord and kde bars

[umbral orbit]

oh thank you, didnt noticed it

btw is there anyway to do the discord quests like "play fortnite for 15 minutes and gain something" on vesktop, or do I need the normal client?

[sharp scarab]

isn't that a plugin?

nvm im thinking about a different client

[dense wasp]

nope
game quests require the desktop client, no way around it

[umbral orbit]

okay thank you

[outer heron]

screenshare not showing anything when people join stream?

(kde fedora flatpak installation)

[tired ingot]

when i open dev tools in vesktop it jumps to 100% cpu usage on one core and after around 3 seconds will completely freeze, if i close dev tools before it fully freezes cpu usage will return to normal but if i try to after its frozen cpu usage stays at 100% and vesktop remains frozen
even after vesktop freezes dev tools keep functioning as normal
ive confirmed this happens on the vesktop-git aur package as well as the portable install from vesktop.dev and it does not freeze with vencord patched discord only vesktop

also i get these errors in the terminal when dev tools are opened

Welcome to dev tools

[tired ingot]

it used to be laggy but never fully froze the app

but ig if its just dev tools being bad then nothing can really be done about it

[untold chasm]

hello, I am trying to open a server and vesktop is not working once again. since I am on arch linux I am going to install via aur now rather than flatpak. is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vesktop-bin the correct package?

[neon garden]

Does anyone know why my colors are like this only in vesktop, no other app, not even the DE

wait uhh, idk if that captured it

Actually i think yall can see, there is this really bad blur and it makes shiggy look demonic, as well as everything else

Wait apparently i get that weird color effect at 100% brightness, that should not be happening

[dense wasp]

downgrade to 1.6.3

what distro?

[neon garden]

You see the blur right?

[dense wasp]

yes I know what the issue is

[neon garden]

nixos, also its the flatpak

[dense wasp]

sudo flatpak update --commit=44fd7a487f26d009cfe86e32570395aa1ca5a31c7d9049e098393a2ccfb25721 dev.vencord.Vesktop

[neon garden]

To be clear, in the future i can flatpak update like normally right?

when that commit lands in the latest release

[dense wasp]

it doesn't prevent you from updating yeah

[neon garden]

Thanks, that worked

no more saturation

[dense wasp]

it'll be fixed next release

[hybrid zinc]

so ive been having issues with vesktop where if im in a vc and im streaming either my screen or my application it will lag and lower the quality I'm currently on nobara and never had issues with discord streaming prior to swapping from windows i also was on bazzite for a short time and had the same issue.

[runic pollen]

Text me for fun 🤩

[sweet thunder]

I was running arrpc manually before and stopped doing that since vesktop already does it. Now this popup appears even though it still works

[dense wasp]

disable webrichpresence

[sweet thunder]

doesn't appear in the plugin list so I think it's not included anymore?

disabling it in json didn't work before but I think it just fixed itself now

[mental lotus]

Hi uh im trying to get arPRC to work, its not throwing a error message at the top about it but it only detects the spotify stuff (which i think depends on the spotify app connection not arRPC itself) and no other activities like cs2, minecraft and the sorts show up (im on windows 11)

and yes i have it enabled

[proper jolt]

Vencord.Plugins.plugins["WebRichPresence (arRPC)"].hidden = false then you can see it in the plugin list

[tidal spruce]

for around a week now i've been getting taskbar discord notification badges, but when i go into discord/vesktop itself, none of my servers display the "unread message" marker/badge thing. unsure how to fix this? none of the plugins i have enabled seem to affect notifications, and i don't use any themes. there have been a few updates since i first noticed this issue but clearly didn't fix the problem haha. uninstalling + reinstalling also didn't help

[tardy mountain]

wtf

it used to only use a few 100mb of ram but this is just insane

[tidal sierra]

Does screenshare with audio not work in 1.6.4? Tried screen and game but neither worked.

[unreal sluice]

where, generally, does data saved by plug-ins go?

i'm looking to reinstall vesktop and don't want to lose my data

[unreal sluice]

is there any way to repair vesktop itself?

[dapper stag]

use Backup or cloud tab

[unreal sluice]

?

got it

[unreal sentinel]

Screenshare hasn't been working for a while now. It worked fine in December. When I screenshare, the other person sees a loading screen for a while until it errors. If I disconnect from the call while screensharing, it just goes to black and my only option is to close Vencord. I have tried enabling and disabling Video Hardware acceleration. I'm on Steam Deck and I downloaded it from the Discover store.

[prime atlas]

I also have a similar issue but only occurred when I switched WM, when’s the last time you updated? I wonder if a package broke or

[unreal sentinel]

Apologies, but what is WM?

[prime atlas]

Window manager, if memory serves Steamdeck uses KDEPlasma desktop environment, I changed the underlying manager that controls how windows move around and work

[prime atlas]

You can read here to see my existing troubleshooting and see if anything I have matches with what you have

[unreal sentinel]

Oh, I see. I'm not really interested in changing it, for one the Steam Deck will revert any OS changes on update, so that won't persist. Secondly, I like KDE Plasma. If there's a way to revert the Vesktop version to the one that previously worked in December I'd prefer that.

[prime atlas]

I wish I knew, however since your also having a issue I think it’s something with the underlying drivers, probably something with Pipewiere and Pulse Audio but I don’t know what

[unreal sentinel]

Okay, thanks for your assistance regardless.

[dreamy niche]

anyone know why my screenshare is awful on vesktop

[grim lake]

Elaborate

[dreamy niche]

not 100% sure on it but because ive not seen it but whenever i screenshare for my friends they say its like a slideshow and like 2fps and they just cant see anything really

[grim lake]

What os

[dreamy niche]

win11

[grim lake]

Vesktop streaming on windows isnt good, use the discord desktop app for that

[dreamy niche]

ah okay

[mystic ginkgo]

Platform: Win32

[wanton forum]

The newest Vesktop update has broken all links... :(

[dapper stag]

broken how

[wanton forum]

Clicking them does nothing...

Even when it shows the "leaving discord" thing

[dapper stag]

system issue

[wanton forum]

oh?

it only started after I did the update...

[dapper stag]

run xdg-open https://vencord.dev in a terminal

or are you not on linux

[wanton forum]

Im on Linux

yeah

[wanton forum]

That worked, yeah
it opened the Vencord website

[split vale]

Hello! Thank you for all of your hard work on this project, it's much appreciated! I just moved to a new distro (PikaOS) and the Vesktop AppImage doesn't want to work unless I manually install the old libfuse2 libraries. The dev for my distro strongly encouraged me not to do this because fuse2 is deprecated and has security holes. He recommended I reach out to you and request that you kindly update the packaging to use the modern libfuse3 library. Thanks and keep up the great work! 🙂

[dapper stag]

We use https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder to build AppImage, it's not on us

u should open an issue there

[summer tulip]

Hi, I'm trying to make discord://... links to work on vesktop. Specifically to open discord user profile from my web app. That was working with official discord app. Now with vesktop, it need to be fully closed, otherwise clicking link in browser will just make vesktop to get focus only. I'm on win11. Not sure if this is known limitation or I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestion? (not sure if this is relevant but "Rich presence" and "Open links in app" setting is enabled)

Vesktop (Wayland) crash when selecting window to stream

[tidal sierra]

Does screenshare with audio not work in 1.6.5? Tried screen and game but neither worked.
On win 11 24H2

[radiant cove]

audio also doesnt work for me (wayland, pipewire?), and the only source of audio I can select is "entire system"

[tidal sierra]

At least according to the pic on the github, you should be able to select different sources, but that pic looks ancient. After all even in normal discord you dont have the option, its either everything or the selected game

[dapper stag]

yes, that's how it is on windows

the picker is only on Linux

for windows screenshare it's best to use the normal discord app

[tidal sierra]

So is that just an issue that cant be fixed or what are we talking about. I dont wanna use normal discord (even if modified).

[muted hound]

im using vesktop on windows but for some reason the window position gets randomly reset

like im maximized (but not full screen) and i unmaximize the window size is the full 1920x1080 thing

its like it thinks im on wayland and it can't remember window size and position

no other windows application acts like this so i genuinally dk whats going on

[grave siren]

mods crush this person's skull

Lobotomised! 🔨

[analog condor]

for both 1.6.4 and 1.6.5, vesktop has been unable to run on my system (fedora 43 with kde plasma). attempting to run both the rpm and appimages, as well as updating from my previously 1.6.3 install, results in "vesktop" (with no caps) showing up in my task manager with no window attached, then closing after a short period of time

uhhh so whats up with that

[dense wasp]

For some reason, when I stream the entire system audio, people can hear themselves. I didn't find anything on that issue, so I came here. I am using Niri (Wayland) and Pipewire, is that the cause?

killall -9 vesktop

then try again

[analog condor]

vesktop: no process found```

[dapper stag]

rm -rf ~/.config/vesktop and try again (this will delete all your vesktop/Vencord settings and data)

[analog condor]

it worked, ty!

[analog condor]

it seems as though the issue is that having a file selected for the tray unread indicator other than the default causes the app to not launch. i had one set previously, and so newer updates didnt work. setting one now instantly crashes the app, and i have to rm -rf ~/.config/vesktop again to get it to launch. idk where to report this though

[dapper stag]

sounds like a system issue

which desktop and which image are you trying to use

send the image here

[analog condor]

fedora 43 kde plasma edition, like i said initially https://fedoraproject.org/kde/

not sure what you mean by image

[noble jacinth]

when i try to dowloand on discord on window it won't open

[analog condor]

if you mean which vesktop package, its vesktop-1.6.5.x86_64.rpm

[dapper stag]

the image you're trying to use as the tray indicator

[analog condor]

ohh

just these

[dapper stag]

why are you trying to use 4k images..

resize them to 64x64

[analog condor]

honestly idk, but they were working fine on previous versions

that does stop it from crashing though, ty

[limber rose]

can `i install vesktop on Browser

?

[torn oasis]

https://vencord.dev/download

[limber rose]

can i use vencord, and vesktop at the same time on the same Discord Canary build?

[torn oasis]

vesktop is its own custom client

[limber rose]

ok

[limber rose]

@torn oasis
i saw a "Fake soundboard" plugin if u scroll up in this channel, i was wondering wher do i find it like #plugin-requests

[dense wasp]

we don't provide support for userplugins

[limber rose]

so its only vencord?

oh wait never mind

[grim lake]

what?

[lost gale]

anyone had any issues with the scroll button thing in the chat window not showing up? sometimes it appears when i scroll back and forth, and sometimes it just stays hidden and only appears when i click on the scroll bar

this thing on the side

[ionic bane]

Anyone knows if it would be possible to use CSS to move the window controls (so close, maximize, minimize) to the left side on Linux on the Vesktop titlebar? Ideally it'd be a baked in feature of the official discord client to follow user preferences but that's not the case

[west orchid]

try

div[class^="base"][data-fullscreen]{
    >:first-child{
        flex-direction: row-reverse;
        >:last-child{
            flex-direction: row-reverse;
            >:last-child::before{
                display: none;
            }
        }
    }
}

it also moves the inbox and help buttons though

[ionic bane]

that is pretty good but it doesn't invert the window control order for me, so it's awkward

[west orchid]

then this

div[class^="base"][data-fullscreen]{
    >:first-child{
        flex-direction: row-reverse;
        >:last-child{
            flex-direction: row-reverse;
            >:last-child{
                flex-direction: row-reverse;
                &::before{
                    display: none;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

[ionic bane]

that works, few hiccups and as you said the inbox also gets moved, but the basic functionality works !

Thanks, i wouldn't have know how to even get started dealing with css.

[west orchid]

you can move the inbox to the right with this:

div[class^="base"][data-fullscreen]{
    >:first-child{
        flex-direction: row-reverse;
        >:last-child{
            >:first-child{
                position: absolute;
                left: calc(100vw - 10px);
                transform: translateX(-100%);
            }
            >:not(:first-child,:last-child){
                display: none;
            }
            >:last-child{
                flex-direction: row-reverse;
                &::before{
                    display: none;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

if you want the window controls to be X - [] that's also possible

[west orchid]

just replcae the innermost/last flex-direction: line with

>:first-child{
    order: 2;
}
>:nth-child(2){
    order: 3;
}
>:nth-child(3){
    order: 1;
}

[ionic bane]

Do you know if it would be possible to just have the X?

[west orchid]

definitely. Do you want to hide the other controls or leave them on the right

both are possible

[willow salmon]

guys is there a verification skip over the trashy discord api

oh wait this isnt general

[ionic bane]

hide them, I don't really use them and have them disabled DE side. one thing tho, with the latest css you sent the inbox is on the right side but it doesn't seem to be working (can't open it)

[west orchid]

yeah I realized that too, hold on, shouldn't be that complicated

[west orchid]

div[class^="base"][data-fullscreen]{
    >:first-child{
        margin-left: var(--custom-app-top-bar-height);
        >:last-child{
            >:last-child{
                position: fixed;
                left: 0;
                &::before{
                    display: none;
                }
                >:not(:last-child){
                    display: none;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

there you go

everything should be interactable

[ionic bane]

Yup, works perfectly ! Thanks a lot again, this had been nagging me ever since discord moved to this new title bar

[west orchid]

no problem, glad my CSS knowledge came in handy :)

for me, my main problem with the new titlebar is that after I shrunk it down (it felt too big), the inbox button's hit area became tiny, so I wrote some css to reskin it

That's when I did the "research" and worked out the DOM structure for the title bar

[ionic bane]

one last thing @west orchid (and really you've already helped a bunch and this isn't even a big deal), when I open the settings the window controls reappear on the right side, do you have any idea if that's fixable? those aren't part of the title bar proper

[west orchid]

is solvable, on it rn

[west orchid]

replace whole css with

div[class^="base"][data-fullscreen]>:first-child, div[class*="systemBar"]{
    margin-left: var(--custom-app-top-bar-height);
    >:last-child{
        >:last-child{
            position: fixed;
            left: 0;
            &::before{
                display: none;
            }
            >:not(:last-child){
                display: none;
            }
        }
    }
}

[ionic bane]

Yup, that works ! every clickable, everything in the right place.

[crisp gulch]

Hi. I'm having issues trying to stream my screen as vesktop crashes everytime I try. I've tried to disable every plugin and tried to check if I was using latest version and it all seemed fine. I also ran vesktop through console to see if it prints some error but I got crickets... where can I see the crash logs? This as been an ongoing issue for a month or so

[reef fog]

if you are on linux, thats most likely you xdg-desktop-portal issue, had an issue with gnome portal before
try other portal mayb idk

[timid gale]

Everytime i try to Stream with hardware Acceleration on it wont find a Codec
I tried with and without webscreensharefix
Also stopping the stream also crashes it

Downgrading back to 1.6.3 fixed it now it can find a codec again and it doesnt crash

Every time I try to share my screen, it sets the quality and fps to maximum, ignoring my settings, meanwhile my Internet cannot afford that

[verbal goblet]

anyone else getting the annoying bug that does not let you sleect an audio source?

[split vale]

Hi again, I opened an issue with electron-builder like you suggested, and they got back to me already! They said that the libfuse3 library update is available now via a opt-in root config prop on their beta version that was released a few days ago. They said there are more details in the PR they linked. Here's their response: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/9586#issuecomment-3898299428

[dapper stag]

that's nice

you should try building vesktop from source with that and see if it works for you

we won't be switching just yet considering it's still in beta

[split vale]

Sounds good! Thank you very much for your help, have a great day! 🙂

[solar sphinx]

Not quite sure why it is happening, but from time to time my vesktop tends to crash when I click the button to stream. Is there a possible fix for this issue?

[radiant stream]

Can you please add this Black & White Vesktop taskbar icon as a variant?

[umbral orbit]

why I have this strange green flickering on vesktop?

[dense wasp]

disable video hardware acceleration in vesktop settings

[umbral orbit]

i have it disabled

[tranquil schooner]

why does vesktop uses more cpu when siting in a voice call deafened without any plugins enabled or anything changing on the screen?

[little vortex]

why is this more laggy than regular discord

[random radish]

im so desperate for someone to fix voice messages on macos so i can use vesktop

its the only thing preventing me from switching from the awful vanilla macos client, because i use that plugin daily, i need it to be functional

[quartz nova]

Chat does anyone know a general Discord support server that isn't inherently Vencord-based? Discord's been crashing for months now and today it's begun to hit like. Actually unbearable levels.

I've had it crash multiple times while writing a single message. I've had it full-on crash and I need to outright open Discord again. It literally started getting this bad today and I'm starting to get desperate.

[high sequoia]

bump once again ^^
I am also seeing the same thing with GIFs that @umbral orbit has shown above

[opaque acorn]

Hey I’m on CachyOS and I keep having problems w/ Vesktop getting Stuck on DTLS Connecting is there a fix???

[dense wasp]

are you using tailscale

what is the issue in this case? the issue won't bre resolved unless vesktop is restarted

try a vpn or something

[ashen summit]

Hellow, i have two bug in my Vesktop app, first, when i share my screen, i have a yellow border all around my app (any app) even if this app isn't in full screen
The second one is that the app make my alt+tab and windows return and all my pc laggy a few minute i use it, i have a theme and some plugins but my pc is efficient so
And one last thing, that's not a bug but is there a way to restore Discord's original screen sharing panel ? Bc i love the normal one
Thank you for your help

[dense wasp]

vesktop screensharing on windows isn't great

[ashen summit]

Oh okay, I see, but so there's no solution?

[dense wasp]

there is not

[ashen summit]

Okay no worries, thanks anyway ^°^

[proud shard]

why is the quality of my stream always so low on vesktop?

also why is it that i can only stream at 1080p@30

[runic abyss]

Is it possible to have multiple instances of vesktop open (with different accounts) on linux (Vesktop from AUR)

also i dont know if this is a vesktop or proton issue but vesktop will only allow traffic through one vpn ip, so if want to use discord I have to be on a certain vpn location

[outer heron]

Vesktop screenshare dosnt work?

Always shows nothing for users

Fedora KDE flatpak

[runic abyss]

how are you share screening? are you using pipwire or something else?

[outer heron]

uhh im not sure. whatever the default is, im kinda new to linux so i dont understand the terminologies yet

i just understand that im on wayland

[mint tundra]

I've searched for "screen share" and "streaming" in #1257025907625951423 and found nothing, so hopefully this isn't a duplicate issue.

I am unable to screen share. I get an instant crash whenever I select a screen or window to try to stream. This screen pops up for a moment before the app returns to whatever server I'm in. I don't disconnect from calls or anything, but the button to try to screen share doesn't even bring up a window selection after the crash. I know it says "discord" at the top, but this is the vesktop app.

Information that might be helpful:
-I am on NixOS using Wayland
-In Vesktop, going to Settings > Updater, I'm shown as up to date
-I unfortunately don't remember when this issue started, I've been dragging my feet about fixing it, but I have been able to stream just fine in the past.
-I am able to stream using the webapp in firefox

I'm happy to provide more information if it's needed.

[last spire]

i have same issue on linux mint. it's been like that for 1-3 weeks i think. Can't stream anything.

it worked fine before.

[mint tundra]

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully we're both not making some obscure stupid mistakes. Do you get the same error screen and behavior with the streaming button after the crash recovery?

[last spire]

yeah it's the same thing.

I tried disabling some plugins and hardware acceleration to no avail.

[outer heron]

I also cant stream, i gu ess vesktop dosnt work? is there an alternative?

[mint tundra]

Run discord in browser and stream from there. Or since this seems to be at least a little widespread, trust the devs and wait for a fix.

[slate summit]

why do they do this

gifs tab

[dense wasp]

disable

[outer heron]

youre support? is screen share just broken?

[dense wasp]

it's working fine for me

[outer heron]

are you on linux branch?

yes i'm using niri on void linux

no issues on my end

[lucid meteor]

I just downloaded both linux mint and vesktop

How do i quit vesktop?

When i press 'X' it minimizes

whenever i right click on the vesktop icon in the taskbar

it shows nothing

I have to kill vesktop from the system monitor to close it

[dense wasp]

on the far right of the taskbar there should be a small vesktop icon (the tray)

[lucid meteor]

Yeah... thats what i said

[grim lake]

can also do this

[lucid meteor]

I tried it, but nothing happens

But i want to minimize it.. I think something's wrong with my linux

[proper jolt]

@gritty gazelle

answer

[radiant stream]

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to have a simple 'Copy' option in the context menu to copy a selection of text from a message?

Vesktop / Linux

[proper jolt]

you can just select the text and ctrl + c

[radiant stream]

I know. But I think it's a problem if we have a context menu that removes basic functions.

[proper jolt]

you don't need a context menu to copy a selection of text

if you need the entire message you can just right click and copy that

[radiant stream]

I know that. My question was whether it's possible to add a Copy function or revert to the original context menu to access basic functions, and I see that it isn't.

Thanks

[gritty gazelle]

yes, its not the best but if you enable the guru overly there is a vesktop bin package

Hi, is the voice echo when sharing screen non fixable yet? Even if I share only specific window, my friend can hear themselves in my stream

[torn oasis]

windows?

[magic shore]

Yes

[torn oasis]

no nothing to be done

[magic shore]

sad, the official client has no sound at all for me though, even Discord support couldn't help. They badly broke something in their sound systems

[torn oasis]

have you checked your volume mixer

for some reason it mutes itself for me sometimes

[wind rover]

anyone able to help with this?

[magic shore]

Yeah, I did. I tried so many things already and the official cleint is just broken beyond repair

[wind rover]

linux btw

[magic shore]

Did that too. purged every single discord file

[blazing dragon]

do you know why i dontr receive nofitications on my desktop?

[slim burrow]

does vencord offer any voice message to text feature? plugin, css or something?

[prime atlas]

Ok I’m still having issues streaming on Arch, Aur version, Wayland, stream infinitely loads, I have hardware acceleration completely off, all plugins disabled, etc it’s been this way for a while, and it’s definitely pretty wide spread because I’ve seen several people from before talking about it across several Linux systems, predominantly they are all on Wayland systems

[gritty gazelle]

most likely something with your DE, but i dont remember if vesktop does notifications. i think it does but ive been using a self-compiled version of vencord with the discord version from the gentoo repo for a while so i could be wrong

[gritty gazelle]

ill look into it when i get home

[blazing dragon]

i dont think so ive had it working before on arch based hyprland, im using hyprland currently so it should be

[gritty gazelle]

huh

[spare idol]

this is after running the code in console btw

[runic abyss]

anyone else having this issue?

[outer bluff]

how well does vesktop protect against detection by discord?
is it possible to get banned from discord detecting a foreign app using their api or is it more like webcord that just acts as a layer on top of the website?

[grim lake]

Discord doesnt care

[torn oasis]

you're running vesktop through proton?

oh proton vpn

my bad

[runic abyss]

discord doesnt care - it just sees it as like discord browser since thats all normal desktop discord is anyways

[upbeat ocean]

Hey guys, anyone on newest version of Vesktop crashing in windows 11? Whenever I try to screenshare I get a notification that discord has crashed and is trying to recover but everything still works. Except I cannot press the screenshare button no more... On Ubuntu the same version works fine. I didn't change my graphic driver lately--

[idle vigil]

for some reason, when i talk in vesktop, the volume setting of my mic on my entire desktop environment auto-lowers. this doesn't happen with other apps, just vesktop specifically. what could be causing this? the distro i'm using is pop!_os 24.04 lts.

[runic abyss]

does it happen in other calling apps?

[idle vigil]

no, i tried a mic test website in my browser and it didn't happen

[runic abyss]

if its labeled a communication app or something similar it might do that

[tidal minnow]

bud you might wanna reset your pc

Also, sometimes when I screenshare on windows, my bitrate and framerate become extremely bad, no matter my internet speed. Is this common? I'm on Windows 11. I've found the bitrate can also become really bad with my camera.

[dense wasp]

vesktop streaming on windows isn't great

[bitter surge]

Thanks for the info, I will now use this to get the domain taken down fnf_kid_real

[proper jolt]

vsb 1 scam

[atomic vortex]

Done!

softbanned @little timber

[spare idol]

still broken

[stuck flicker]

Hey I'm using vesktop on linux and for the past few weeks screen sharing has been broken on vesktop. Whenever I try to watch a specific friend's stream, it results in green noise being displayed instead of the actual stream. This only happens with a specific friend, and the stream is vp8 codec. I am the only person who has an issue watching the stream so it's likely the issue is on my side, with vesktop on linux

I'm running the flatpak and both it and vencord are up to date. Further more, I've tried with all the combinations of hardware acceleration and the issue still persists

[summer tinsel]

my vesktop is the .deb installation and game activity kinda works except valve games like tf2 and l4d2, any known fix for this?

[sweet turtle]

hey guys
my Vesktop and DIscord behaving super weird.
I'm on Linux and using VPN.
if I open Discord in browser, it doesn't load (it gets stuck loading some CSS resource). If I force reload the page reseting cache and stuff, it loads fine, but logs me out.
if I open Vesktop it doesn't load unless I disable proxy mode in my VPN but leave TUN enabled.
this started out of the blue idk how even to debug ts

[grim lake]

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

[sweet turtle]

yeah Ive seen that thread it didn't help unfortunately

[errant stirrup]

Discord is going to be implementing new "security features" for age verification. This includes literal spyware that checks your Discord and system activity for an AI to determine your age automatically.
Vesktop says it currently prevents Discord from seeing your system.
When the new version of Discord with spyware drops, will Vesktop have ways to remove, or at least block, that spyware too?

[proper jolt]

vesktop runs discord web and RPC scanning is done through arRPC, an external RPC server. discord may "guess" your age through your game activity (so what you play, eg if you play roblox you're probably under 18).

you can disable arrpc to stop giving game activity to discord

so there is no privacy loss since the data that is used is already public data (your game activity)

and if you do choose to verify your age it is done completely client side, that's why it was so easily bypassed

[dapper stag]

don't believe everything you read online

Discord is not adding spyware lmao

[errant stirrup]

I know. That's why when Discord's official statement about the update pinky-promises it's only for our own security, I decided not to believe them.

[proper jolt]

companies get in big trouble for lying about things such as this, esp privacy related

[sweet turtle]

didn't they just been caught lying abt this

[errant stirrup]

But companies have been lying about this, and we find out usually after they're caught lying for several years.
I have zero reasons to put any trust into company's promises or the watchdogs that are supposed to keep them in line. Everything that they've said they're going to implement should be a collection of huge red flags for everyone.

[vocal isle]

is there a way to make links open in chrome when clicked instead of a vesktop sub-window? am on windows

[dapper stag]

you enabled that behav iour in vesktop settings

[last spire]

can we get our streaming problems acknowledged in the known issues?

[idle vigil]

what do you mean by this?

[opaque acorn]

hey i just switched to linux recently and i keep having this problem ive rebooted my computer restarted vesktop and my router nothing is working

[torn oasis]

are you using tailscale

[opaque acorn]

Y do u ask?

[torn oasis]

because people who use tailscale/zerotier are usually the ones who get DTLS connection issues

[opaque acorn]

Really

[torn oasis]

if it wasnt the case i wouldnt have asked you

[opaque acorn]

I use it 4 my media server but if it’s the problem than I could turn it off

[runic abyss]

like if its catagorized as a calling app or similar, some systems have a setting where calls / communication are prioritized and in your case its volume is raised

[idle vigil]

i can't really test any other call programs rn

[hot sky]

hey so I'm not the target audience for this since I don't use peripherals above 1kHz polling rate, but a friend was asking if vesktop has a polling rate fix for discord built in? https://github.com/HerXayah/Discord-Fixer or if this issue even applies to vesktop to begin with?

[livid osprey]

I left a review on someone's profile using ReviewDB some time ago (I'm not sure exactly when). I want to delete this review, but it will not show up on my end when I am on pc (Vesktop), only on mobile (Revenge), but on mobile I don't have the option to delete it.
Could whoever is in charge of the ReviewDB database possibly delete the review manually themself if I am unable to do so?

Don't worry bot, I did :>

[nocturne veldt]

I’d join the reviewDB Discord server and ask there

[velvet kestrel]

difference between this and vencord?

[livid osprey]

ah i didn't even realize they had their own discord! thank you!

[nocturne veldt]

Vesktop is a custom client, Vencord is the mod installed on top of Discord

[velvet kestrel]

how did vesktop get made with discord not being open source?

[nocturne veldt]

Because it has nothing to do with Discord’s client

It’s a custom client that loads the discord.com website

[velvet kestrel]

ahh I also heard that vesktop has better screen sharing is that true? if so why

[nocturne veldt]

For Linux (and maybe Mac) Yes

[velvet kestrel]

why?

what makes Linux so special?

[nocturne veldt]

Because that’s the platform it’s made for

I don’t know

[opaque acorn]

is there a workaround besides turning it off? it worked on windows w/ tailscale

[torn oasis]

as far as i know no

there could be some setting in tailscale you can disable but i dont use it so i can't tell you

[final spear]

Ive noticed i can't actually share screen in VCs for some reason

the button highlights and expands

but doesn't actually register a click outside of the click itself

[past rain]

i got vesktop and theres no vencord area in settings

[runic abyss]

I don't know if im just scizo but Vesktop only works when I have a certain ProtonVPN location active

[grim lake]

Probably related to this https://discord.com/channels/1015060230222131221/1426180286646980668

[runic abyss]

Weird, that fixed it.

[last spire]

@outer heron @mint tundra updating everything has seemingly fixed streaming!

update your systems

[torn oasis]

yes

what distro are you installing on

oh right

yes thats the official cask

https://vesktop.dev/install/mac/

?

[grim lake]

it doesnt implement quests

[torn oasis]

the shop is still there though

vesktop just loads the web version

[grim lake]

yeah but you can do them

[torn oasis]

yes but you cant complete game quests

[grim lake]

^

[torn oasis]

yes

and injects vencord

yes

afaik

[grim lake]

it would be reasonable to assume it does what it can

tbh if you are looking for more privacy, discord is the worst place to be

Interesting. I'm tailscale on windows and have been having the issue for months now

u can get kinda close with https://github.com/refact0r/midnight-discord/blob/master/themes/flavors/midnight-vencord.theme.css

[red rampart]

heyy
does anyone knows if it would be possible to create a mixed Matrix/discord client ?
like vesktop++ that adds matrix servers
or does anything already exist doing this ?

[torn oasis]

but why

[dense wasp]

this would be a nightmare to maintain

[red rampart]

to have only one chatting app gathering all

[red rampart]

fair enough

[dapper stag]

use a bridge like https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge

[red rampart]

thanks <3

[wanton pulsar]

i've used custom CSS to remove the title text and window controls but now there's some empty space that could easily be filled if i could make the channel list and chat taller (as you can see the back and forward buttons fit nicely though so they can stay)

is that possible

[west orchid]

if you want to shrink the title bar, do

:root{
    --custom-app-top-bar-height: 25.6px /* or whatever height you desire */;
}

Hi, I'm struggling to setup a specific font for a css theme. I tried both otb and ttf, I tried different downloaded fonts, and I can't seem to have any work.

I tried different paths, I've copied the font right next to the css in the themes folder, but nothing seems to work. Any idea why ?

Why is the color management on Vesktop so messed up? This solid color (catppuccin mocha base, #1e1e2e) when copy-pasted perfectly matches the #1e1e2e of my Vesktop theme, but it actually appears much darker on apps outside of vesktop

Er, sorry, actually it's mantle not base

It seems the color management is slightly different between the native package and the Flatpak, but it still doesn't show the right color

[silk wharf]

hello i got a problem with the vesktop client :-(

it's here right

idk if it's due to the amount of plugins i have or my setup but everytime i try to video stream the following happens:

1. i get video output from my end
2. the other participants don't
3. i try to turn off the video streaming
4. the client crashes
5. rinse and repeat
   (running arch (btw) with hyprland)

[raven olive]

Do you get anything in stdout or stderr? Like it you run it from a terminal

[ripe mica]

When using Vesktop and try to stream my game it wont stream but once i press the stream without audio it starts the stream but i dont have any audio can someone help with this?

[brittle furnace]

Vesktop seems slow to scroll. well at least not smooth when compared to the normal discord client for me on Nobara, Gnome. I have no plugins enabled or anything

Wondered if anyone has the same issue

Weird I changed something (not sure what and now it isn't doing it. Odd)

one theme to replace the emojis

aaaand that was it

theres really not much to be done then

blame discord

if you get less ram usage with the vanilla app + vencord then that's your solution really

just replaced the theme and now its fine for some reason

oh

we love css

oh and also, is there a way to easily change the vesktop icon back to the discord icon?

command i and then dragging the image in does work, but its not permanent

[torn oasis]

if you mean the tray icon you can go to Vesktop Settings > Customize App Assets

does mac have tray icons actually

i dont know but either way no there isnt a way of changing the app icon within the app itself

yea but i dont have it enabled

Just would like to follow-up on this. If not can open a ticket on Github with the transcripts from here requesting.

No

[upbeat swallow]

Is anyone having the issue where the window controls (minimize, fill screen, close) are not displaying?
Only the inbox and help buttons (also the DevTools button) display. I am using Windows 11 on Vesktop 1.6.5
Also the rounded corners are missing

[high cargo]

is vesktop meant to use 1.5gb of ram

[grim lake]

Discord uses what it wants

[high cargo]

but isnt this meant to be a more optimised version of discord

[grim lake]

Yesnt

Unused ram is wasted ram

If your system needs it, it will get it

[upbeat swallow]

Yes

[high cargo]

i wonder if there was a better way to potentially have made vesktop, maybe not using electron

[grim lake]

It also depends on:
if you are using themes (specifically images)
How many servers you are in
How big said servers are
How many channels you have loaded

[grim lake]

Easier said than done

[high cargo]

oh i see now

what the helly is allat

2gb 😭

[raven olive]

Discord doesn't really like third parties reverse engineering their protocol

[high cargo]

welp

dorion did it

[raven olive]

Like I said they don't really like people doing it, it doesn't mean it can't be done

No this just looks like normal discord, I don't think they did any reverse engineering at all. More likely they're using Tauri to embed the normal Discord web client

[vague radish]

sometimes my Vesktop is bugging whenever i switch account, like it's loading indefinitely

it's stuck on this screen, well sure i can just re-open the app but that's just a hassle y'know?

[west orchid]

if you drop things like editing user notes and syncing settings, you can just use their official api docs right
which technically wouldn't be reverse engineering

[raven olive]

Interesting. I wonder how hard it'd be to make a client in compose multiplatform

I spend too much time thinking about making clients for things in jetpack compose

[proper jolt]

a native client wouldn’t run vencord and is most likely to get you banned

i think we’ve considered Tauri but dropped the idea for some reason

[void umbra]

Hey. I have the problem that my streams over 720p@30 are just black for everyone. If I switch back to 720@30 it still doesnt work. I need to stop the stream and start it back at 720@30 for anything to work. I use vesktop and the newest version of vencord.

[dark hornet]

every time i update vencord and vesktop after having to update discord, i forget how to actually make vesktop run again

for now i'm sticking to having vesktop downgraded bc idk what the update does

explain

what do you mean you dont know how to make it run

[dark hornet]

when i update to 1.6.5, it won't even open

when i stay downgraded to 1.6.3, it works fine

i'm pretty sure it has to do with linux mint bc last time i asked in this channel, that was the solution i was suggested around it and it worked

[north falcon]

hello! weird issue here. prefacing this with i'm running the Vesktop x86_64 appimage v1.6.5 on Linux Mint 22.3 installed with kem-a/AppManager, but i had the same problem when installing with GearLever as well

i have Vesktop and ungoogled-chromium each as AppImages, and each time i open a link from Vesktop, ungoogled-chromium retains the same WM_CLASS and gets grouped into Vesktop as well. The desktop entry has the proper WM_CLASS (I know because i had to set it manually, it was initially incorrect)

first image is chrome launched by clicking a link on vesktop, second is just opening it regularly. third is just how it's grouped in my WM, which is cinnamon

[vestal loom]

hi folks, is it possible to have more than one instance of vesktop? like during initial installation, i saw i was able to install stable, PTC, and canary version, but when I run the installer again, it only upgrades/reinstalls the already installed client. Is it possible to use the PTB and canary version of vesktop concurrently with different accounts?

[grim lake]

You cant run multiple

[vestal loom]

that's unfortunate, since i wanted to use multiple accounts concurrently in vesktop, but thanks for your time

[torn oasis]

you can try using multiple portable installs

[vestal loom]

alright, i'll try that. thanks for your help!

[normal bane]

is there some kinda plugin that would allow sending multiple reactions at once.. something like a preset you can press and it would react with selected emojis

Would be fun to troll people with and stuff I think 😅

[torn oasis]

no

just hold shift as you react

watch

[normal bane]

oh lol i see

[torn oasis]

it keeps the reaction menu open

[normal bane]

but yk i would do like texts...

[torn oasis]

also works for the regular emoji menu

[normal bane]

imagine like you click and it says "EPIC"

just had this idea just now haha

[torn oasis]

no thats not a thing

[normal bane]

is there a way to add plugins without having to build it all? Is there a reason why its so difficult

[torn oasis]

no you cant

[normal bane]

yeah but is it because of the build process or bundling or something

or just for security, because I get security and all but it seems a bit unnecessary to add that much friction

[torn oasis]

its meant to be for advanced users anyways because god knows what people would install if it were as simple as a button click

[normal bane]

welll i mean true... but theres still js snippets fully supported so i dont fully see the point

it could just be a dev setting buried somewhere andhave a big disclaimer

[torn oasis]

because to submit them they have to be verified by a mod first

[normal bane]

you cant protect people from themselfes yk... yeah

[torn oasis]

if the code isnt safe it doesnt get approved, simple as that

[normal bane]

like this is prob the only thing better about BetterDiscord IMO, even on Chrome you can add custom stuff

but ik its prob not your decision

So youre saying i can easily get my plugin verified?

Like even for a just fun thing like this emoji thing

I searched in the plugins list and it mostly seems like its "serious" stuff

[torn oasis]

if you want your plugin to be added to the official build you submit a pull request, but make sure to read CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines

[normal bane]

i havent seen many just simple jokes yk

[torn oasis]

yes because joke plugins are, well, jokes

[normal bane]

well thats why custom shouldnt be soooo hard to do

whats stopping anyone from sending js snippet logger

anyways

like it should be somehow possible

[torn oasis]

the mod team not letting them post it, as i said earlier

[normal bane]

btw if i do a custom build, do i gotta update it myself everytime or what?

[normal bane]

oh i see

but i dont want my plugin posted here

i just wanna use it myself

sooo

its the same

like anyone can send a snippet that logs

same as plugin

yk

i dont think it would be an issue if there was a big disclaimer and warning and what not

is there any chance this could be changed in the future cuz like its really a pain for me lol and im sure so many others that just wanna script a little thing here and there

damnnnn okay thanks anyways for the chit chat haha

do i have to update vencord tho?
also btw vencord keeps uninstalling randomly is there a way to fix that or automatically repair when it happens?
i dont really care about new stuff i would just love if it worked and i could enjoy my little plugin 😅

[normal bane]

@quartz flame
Okay I would just love if you could reconsider that decision one day.
VenCord is all about customization, therefore it should be definitely supported to make plugins for specific needs a user might have.
Right now there's no solution because the official build is for general plugins, you won't accept a commit with a specific plugin that just 1 person needs.
And from the security standpoint its no different than snippets as in, people can make malware snippets same as they potentially could make malware plugins.
I tried explaining myself as best I could here, what's your take on this?

[obsidian cypress]

Againnn

Please give me other options to vesktop but that actually works on linux mint?

[lunar orchid]

How am i able to see the toggle for the
Bypass System Audio Input Processing setting
in Voice & Video? its not there

[grim lake]

it doesnt exist because it doesnt exist

[hybrid tangle]

Someone know?

[obtuse marten]

thanks vestkop

[vagrant rover]

hi

i'm having an issue with vesktop on windows: whenever i try to stream in a server and put the stream audio on, while sharing my entire screen, the viewers hear themselves. i know that vesktop runs the browser version of discord, but isn't it capable of separating discord's/vesktop's audio from the rest (just like normal desktop discord does)?

also, as a secondary thing, it's not a real problem, but to have full screen size of vesktop i have to remove the window controls, making the best way to manage the window be the taskbar right click option and double clicking the window border

[real wharf]

how do I fix general screenshare issues on Fedora Linux

a few examples

weird lines, freezes, a lot of epilepsy unfriendly stuff,

[lost hawk]

silly question, is this interface from a plugin/experiment ?
Can't find any plugin in the list that refers to it but maybe it has a funny name
Same for experiments though they don't really have descriptions to go off of

thing is it completely "breaks" uploading multiple emojis (it will open for the first, upload the first, then just close and fuck off).
So I assumed it wasn't stock discord.

-# moved over from #🏥-vencord-support-🏥 since it might be specific to vesktop

[wet imp]

Just wanna follow up on this.

[dense wasp]

afaik none of the maintainers own a stream deck so this is unlikely to happen any time soon

[wet imp]

Stream Deck application has a Virtual Deck option now. You don't need a physical Stream Deck to use it/test it now.

[wet imp]

I guess a temporary solution for now is to hotkey Stream Deck buttons to Discord mute/deafen keybinds. Just thought it would be cool for myself and a bunch of other content creators who rely on Stream Deck/Elgato stuff while playing/using Vencord/Vesktop.

[rare girder]

hey does anybody else have this problem that when youre on a vc there is no green outline while ur mic is active?

[kindred bloom]

So, this is a weird one. I've got two wifi networks (for now), the older, slower AT&T fiber and the newer, faster T-Mobile Fiber that we're looking to replace it with. On the new network, using any unofficial clients (tested primarily with vesktop but installed goofcord for wider testing) and joining any VC leaves me on "DTLS Connecting", with not much useful in the console from what I can tell. I am using the AUR version of vesktop and the flatpak version of goofcord, though I got the exact same result with the flatpak version of vesktop. Everything works just fine on all clients on the old network, and everything works on the official client (flatpak w/vencord) and browser on both networks. It's a weird one, so let me know if there's any more info I can provide.

[wintry whale]

having an issue where specifically when streaming with audio, if i am playing terraria, then at complete random the game's audio will just cut off entirely and not come back until i relaunch the game
this is only happening while screensharing with audio

another issue, when screensharing with audio for prolonged periods of time, i begin having other kinds of audio bugs too such as hearing crackles and pops, audio sometimes being really loud for a split second (which only I end up hearing, nobody else hears these spikes in volume), and occasionally also discord will just die entirely, freezing up and eventually graying out, requiring me to relaunch or refresh via ctrl+r to restore functionality

would appreciate any kind of advice for how to maybe mitigate or fix these issues, or if there is no known fix or this is the first time its being brought up or something, if someone could perhaps look into potential causes. i can give computer specs and my package list if that helps

[kindred bloom]

try restarting the game after screensharing, when you screenshare with vesktop it adds a new audio device and terraria may not like that? Just my guess, at least

[wintry whale]

i mean i've had audio devices update before during gameplay such as my headphones getting unplugged and me plugging them back in, but that has never resulted in audio cutting out like this

[wintry whale]

in fact here, just in case

[grand mantle]

hello, sorry for the ping but im with the same issue right now and came across this. what do i gotta do with this to make the proxy work?

[balmy ice]

Hey everyone!

I recently switched to CachyOS, and I've mostly been enjoying it. However my biggest issue would be stuff with hardware acceleration, specifically with Discord (or Vesktop in this case)
I have an RTX 4070 gpu, and from what I understand from a bit of research is that nvidia can be quite tricky in this regard.

My issue is that whenever I watch someone's stream, the quality seems to be very inconsistent, sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's just a pixel soup that clears up after a bit. The stream also tends to stutter quite a lot, sometimes even showing frames that happened a while ago randomly. From running 'nvidia-smi dmon' in the terminal I found out that Vesktop is not using my GPU to decode the stream, but the CPU instead.
I can't seem to get video encoding working either, so my own streams look quite bad as well because of it.

So far I've tried some launch commands, forcing Vulkan, forcing X11 to be used instead of Wayland, but almost each of these come with new issues while not fixing the main thing.

Is this a known problem, or has someone encountered something similar? Does someone have some tips to resolve the issue?

[balmy ice]

Or update nvidia vaapi driver cause the latest update fixes that

[inner cove]

how can i disable all nitro profile decorations for everyone including custom font names and etc.

i just hate the visual clutter so much

[west orchid]

you must css them out I think
I have the CSS for the usernames

Or you can just turn them off

WHAT

I didn't realize that existed

tysm, less lag for my Discord

[indigo bronze]

i really just wanna know if this is an electron or vesktop issue before i make a github issue

[wet imp]

Any chance you guys would take a shot at this? I also realized Vesktop doesn't pick up keybinds set for Discord actions when the app in minimized/sent to tray. If you guys could at least fix that I don't mind losing access to the Discord stream deck app, because I can just keybind.

[dapper stag]

do you actually have any issues?

this crash is likely irrelevant

just ignore it if vesktop works fine

[umbral orbit]

why vesktop is taking that much of ram?

[proper jolt]

this is normal usage

[umbral orbit]

yeah but I dont know what is happening

[proper jolt]

this is normal usage and it can’t be optimized further

also unused ram is wasted ram, if your system needs more ram it will reclaim it

[dapper stag]

there's something else using most of that ram

if you want vesktop to use less ram leave as many servers as possible

[mighty furnace]

The "system default" in settings makes pulsing noises for no apparent reason, the issue is not in the normal discord app since it seems to actually pick up my default mic as my old snowball mic. I only have 1 mic connected on the pc and my snowball works like usual (the issue being vesktop switches to my pulsing fake default when my real mic disconnects)

This being the normal discord app (with vencord)

I'm on cachy os

[merry shadow]

Hi, idk if this is known but the screenshare quality is so bad on Vesktop for Fedora, screenshare is also so laggy, are there any fixes?

[rose valve]

whyyyy cant i turn ppl above 100%

[dense wasp]

volumebooster is broken right now

[rose valve]

how do i disable?

[dense wasp]

settings > plugins but there's no reason to, can just wait for a fix

[rose valve]

oh it already is

[dense wasp]

also, try and keep vencord questions in #🏥-vencord-support-🏥

[rose valve]

i mean im using vesktop? but your saying even when off it still lowers the max volume to 100%?

[dense wasp]

you're using vesktop, but your question is about a vencord issue

if the plugin is off then it has no effect, so you can't raise volume past discord's max

[rose valve]

ok but yk discord defualt max is 200% right, whatever ill just join vc on my phone and set it if i really have to till it gets fixed :/

[dense wasp]

it should be fixed soon

[nocturne veldt]

Should probably make a post about it at this point

Imo

soon

Hello,
I found out that vesktop doesn't respects systemwide proxy settings on Linux (http_proxy environment variable in .profile or .bashrc) while official client does.
I'm on Fedora and using flatpak. lmk if any log is needed, I didn't find any useful log during startup, just appear unable to connect.
Adding --proxy-server= command-line argument works
Thanks for the help

[gusty roost]

Hey everyone! Quick feature request regarding Linux audio (PulseAudio/PipeWire):

Currently, Vesktop reports its audio stream simply as "Chromium" (process: "electron"). This makes it impossible to control Vesktop's volume independently using physical hardware mixers or custom scripts (like my Deej setup here: https://github.com/knoellix/deejHotkey), because it gets grouped with actual web browsers.

Could Vesktop explicitly set its audio application name (e.g., via app.setName('Vesktop') early in the main process)? This would ensure the underlying engine passes the correct identifier to the audio server. It would be a massive quality-of-life fix for Linux users who route their audio. Thanks!

[obsidian cypress]

This is like the 20th time vesktop ruins my binge with friends. Why? Why the bad connection?

[cedar steeple]

Im having issues with discord RPC on linux, custom rpc seems to run just fine, but i find no socket being created at /run/1000 or whatever the location for sockets is, im using the native rpm package on fedora 43, arrpc seems to be running but im not exactly sure how to verify it other than custom rpc complaining if it doesnt run

[grim lake]

it isnt caused by vesktop

[obsidian cypress]

Discord servers then?

[grim lake]

no clue

just isnt vesktop

[west orchid]

huh, for me on KDE vesktop does just fine. interesting

set through this menu, not environ

maybe check your DE to see if there's something similar

[cedar steeple]

Issue was fixed by wiping any file related to vesktop, reinstalling via rpm, and then chmodding all files with some higher permissions

[dapper stag]

I don't think it's possible to fix this in electron

[undone rose]

why can i only screenshare 30fps when i'm selecting 60fps?

[gusty roost]

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I know Spotify uses a custom framework, while Vesktop uses standard Electron. However, the 'Chromium' stream name makes hardware mixing (like Deej) impossible on Linux.

I've tried forcing it via environment variables (PULSE_PROP), but Electron often ignores these. Since it’s a major QoL issue for Linux power users, could you look into explicitly setting the application name in the audio initialization? Even if the engine is buggy, a native fix would be much more reliable than hacks. Thanks!

[dapper stag]

you don't initialisie the audio, chromium does that.

open an issue in electron repo

we can't do anything

[obsidian cypress]

Please tell me alternatives to vesktop. It does not work well with streaming

wdym

what plugin

[lofty vault]

I don't know the exact name of the plugin that indicates it's working in the audio, but it's not working properly.

[sweet turtle]

Discord keeps logging me out, throwing captchas and email confirmations wtf is going on
is this Discord or Vesktop issue?

[lofty vault]

For example, in the rooms we can see, we can only tell what kind of sound the people in those rooms are making when we zoom in; it's not visible.

[gaunt sentinel]

discord? probably?

captchas arent uncommon

if ur using devtools then enable nodevtoolswarning since using devtools can log u out at random

[gaunt sentinel]

run /vencord-plugins please
