MusicTitleRPC

Changes the name of music rich presences to inherit the currently playing song's title.

Due to discord limitations, spotify activities will lose spotify-exclusive features like the time bar and listen along with this plugin enabled

[gray bramble]

For those of you who find that this plugin doesn't work, make sure that the setting at Settings > Activity Privacy > Share your detected activities with others is enabled. Otherwise nothing will show.

[blazing basin]

I'll add this to the settings screen, didn't know that was an option

[gray bramble]

yea it took me a while to figure that out.

also is there a way we could replace some of the details with some of our choosing like the duration if the song.

in my case the line on I Remember for my current song

id rather that be {currentPosition}:{songLength}

[blazing basin]

the duration is not currently possible with spotify, though on mobile clients I think it should show mm:ss left

[gray bramble]

i thought spotify had some sort of local api you could use

[blazing basin]

just had a look in the code, duration seems to be possible but I don't know how I would have that in settings

[gray bramble]

toggle, display duration instead of album name

especially with hovering over the album art showing the album name as well

i would send screenshots but I cant :/

[blazing basin]

discord puts the big image text on the bottom line for listening activities, I can't change one without the other

[gray bramble]

oh

[warm coral]

🔥

[blazing basin]

I'll try to make some more configuration possible for spotify like changing what each part of the activity shows and how to format it

[gray bramble]

that would be fantastic cant wait

ping me once thats done please

gonna pull that instantly

[frail mauve]

This should be inside vencord, built-in fr fr

[blazing basin]

there's a PR for this https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord/pull/2483

[proud pilot]

I didn't know you could do custom activity names without oauth API access, this is really sick

[frail mauve]

Ooo pls get accepted 😔🙏

[deep trout]

u alwayscould i think

thats why i had this

[proud pilot]

I didn't know about the "Swap presence name and details" part

[deep trout]

fair

i dont think it was there until some later commit

[surreal crag]

?remind 50y finish rpceditor

[toxic eagle]

Alright @surreal crag, in 50 years: finish rpceditor

[blazing basin]

@gray bramble a bunch of customization has now been added for spotify

[gray bramble]

o.o

[blazing basin]

i was gonna send a screenshot as but no perms :(

[gray bramble]

can we also have a current timestamp. if you cant use the spotify api or whatnot you can always track how long its been since the activity changed

I hope to do something like {{Position}}:{{Duration}}

[blazing basin]

I thought of that but there's a couple reasons why I didn't do that

• I don't know if it counts as api abuse but I don't want to risk doing that
• A while ago I noticed that quickly updating an activity makes most updates get ignored by the server, so I think adding that in would make it so there's big delays in song changes (and the current position would be pretty laggy as well)

and you can't use discord timestamps in activities either

[gray bramble]

i thought some games could do it so i figured itd be fine

[blazing basin]

idk why it shows x time left on mobile but not on desktop

however if you have the TimeBarAllActivities plugins you'll see the timebar again (but others wont unless they have the plugin as well)

[blazing basin]

this might be related to it being a Listening to activity instead a Playing one

[wintry fulcrum]

CustomRPC adds a warning for this in the settings

[blazing basin]

must have missed it there, I added it to mine as well tho

[gray bramble]

it only shows up if the setting is off

[blazing basin]

ah I see

[robust cedar]

separate 3rd line of descriptor and image hover text would be dope :]
also, I've seen that adding links to the title and image works somehow

[blazing basin]

sorry but because of how discord gets the third line they can't be separated

how would adding links to title and image work?

[robust cedar]

oh okay nvm then mb

I've seen stuff but thats with an external API which hooks discords

wasnt sure if it modified those ties

[blazing basin]

this limitation is specific to listening to activities

[robust cedar]

aaaah aight gotcha

[deep trout]

v+ image sender

you lie vbot

[lean skiff]

Stupid question. Is this windows only, or does it work for linux? Been looking for something like this, but the closest thing i could find was something called "clematis" which kinda sucked for what i wanted it to do

[wintry fulcrum]

This just tweaks Discord's own built-in Spotify integration

oh wait

I think it could also work for that

[lean skiff]

Alright, Ill try it out. Thanks!

[wintry fulcrum]

You should be able to combine both of them

[lean skiff]

Combine? sorry, do you mean clematis and this plugin?

[wintry fulcrum]

Yes

[lean skiff]

what I understand from looking at this, is itll show any music that shows up on my pc (fuck i cant talk anymore. I need to sleep)

a picture says 1000 words, one sec

Nuts, cant send pics here.

Ill DM you it

[wintry fulcrum]

alright

[quartz summit]

Im not sure if this is possible but dose amazon music work with it?

[blazing basin]

It currently does two things:

• If you're playing music from spotify, it clones its activity with a similar one but with a custom name (since it can't be changed from a client for spotify activities)
• If you're playing music from anything else and already have a local RPC for your music it renames the activity

i use and recommend mprisence to create a rich presence from mpris media and then use this plugin to change the name

[blazing basin]

It doesn't create a new activity for amazon music but if you already have an activity with the song info it should work with it (#1264994741666447401 message)

[quartz summit]

Alright thank you ill give it a try.
Also if you do end up adding support for it would having the code read from the windows action center or windows notification? Hope this idea helps if you end up doing it.

[blazing basin]

If that gets created it would be a different plugin.
though most likely it would be a program outside of vencord and not a plugin - you might want to check if there's any programs that do that already, I've seen multiple for linux and would be surprised if no one attempted to create that on windows

[lean skiff]

:o thanks!

[noble lion]

good

[warm coral]

I love this so much!

[blazing basin]

Discord now did some magic and all activities can have a time bar so if you have this plugin you should see a time bar like the original spotify activity

[gray bramble]

YO LETS GO

[solid ore]

big win

[proud pilot]

is this specifically for the LISTENING activity type?

[blazing basin]

not sure, you could check through customrpc by putting a start and end timestamp

I'd guess it's not

[frail mauve]

i tried to use this on vencord and kizzy on my phone and it didnt work, do you know why?

kizzy to make the rpc

from an FOSS music app i use

[blazing basin]

what didn't work? the timebar or the plugin

[frail mauve]

the plugin

[blazing basin]

does that app need to log into discord?

actually ill just try it and see how it works

[frail mauve]

Yep

[frail mauve]

Kizzy ( RPC )
InnerTube ( Music app fork of original )

[frail mauve]

sure go ahead

https://kizzy.vercel.app/

thats link to kizzy

[blazing basin]

okay so what i think is happening is it acts as its own discord client without making the rpc spawn through vencord. The plugin doesn't change other clients' rpcs

[frail mauve]

Hmm possible i am not really sure its open source so you can check if you want ig the github link is on https://kizzy.vercel.app/ too

[blazing basin]

right ok I'm pretty sure it's doing that. Since they're doing rpc that way, you should request the same feature to be implemented directly into that app. Since they're not locked to the limitations normal rpcs have (only playing, and cant change name) they should be able to add it by themselves without help from a vencord plugin

[frail mauve]

oh ok thanks!

also

do you know how to get discord time bar on activities

cuz i heard it came out for all activities and not just spotify recently

[blazing basin]

The activity needs to have start and end timestamps and it should show up

[frail mauve]

oh is it that easy???

[blazing basin]

yea

[frail mauve]

wait can you give a code example rq? like a object thingy or whatever please?

cuz i suggested them ( kizzy ) to make it ( time bar ) and they were like they couldnt find any code thingy to make it

[blazing basin]

        const activity: Activity = {
            application_id,
            name: "whatever",
            type: ActivityType.LISTENING,
            flags: 0,
            details: "details",
            state: "state",
            timestamps: {
                start: Date.now(),
                end: (Date.now() + (e.track.duration ?? 0))
            },
            assets: {
                large_image,
                large_text: "album"
            },
            buttons: [],
            metadata: {
                button_urls: []
            }
        };

[spiral cave]

since creator updated their repo to say discontinued, just wanted to put a note for anyone who sees this → your status won't be visible to others unless you have a button in it. (for spotify at least, not sure about non-spotify)
