I'm still somewhat of a noob at Discord Rich Presence... so bear with me plz; how would I incorporate a "join" button to my rich presence? I'd just like it to open a link in the default browser.

thorn nova Jan 24, 2019, 10:49 PM

Also, what's the difference between RPCClient#connect() and RPCClient#login()

left fjord Jan 25, 2019, 4:36 AM

as far as i understand, rpcclient.connect connects to the rpc (well, that's what docs say) and rpcclient.login logs app in. it also calls .connect itself if needed

hallow badger Jan 25, 2019, 6:12 PM

Hmm - so I seem to be confused. Setting up djs-rpc in nodejs on electron. I have imported Discord like this:

import * as discord from 'discord-rpc';

And then followed the rich presence example to get things running. When I start the app, I get the error:

 { code: 4000, message: 'No Client ID Specified' }

Clint id is being passed in and is set.

Also does there happen to be a d.ts file for djs-rpc floating around?

hallow badger Jan 25, 2019, 6:43 PM

Found the issue...

rpc.login({ clientId }).catch(console.error);

Was what the demo had,

rpc.login({ clientId: clientId }).catch(console.error);

worked.

sage grove Jan 25, 2019, 9:52 PM

So I thought it time to delve into RPC but am I right in suggesting that you still need a whitelisted app to be able to use it? Running into invalid origin errors using the sample code in the docs.

hallow badger Jan 25, 2019, 10:12 PM

What are you doing in the RPC?

To just display game state and message no whitelist required

To do joining and spectating yes. You need to invite people to the app manually for testing, and when done go through the submission process to get the app unlocked so anybody can use it.

left fjord Jan 26, 2019, 3:16 AM

@hallow badger Interestingly, those 2 lines ( { clientId } and { clientId: clientId }) are practically same.

hallow badger Jan 26, 2019, 5:19 AM

@left fjord I figured out why 😂. I misspelled the variable. I wrote cleintId.

sage grove Jan 26, 2019, 10:00 AM

Yeah I'm just doing statuses

But invalid origin is a thing

Hey guys Im having a quick question:
I developed a tool for RPC with Discord.js ( https://go.astrogd.eu/rpc Redirects to Github)
But strangely if I use the tool and set my Activity with RPC, My Status vanishes after some time and I need to trigger the setActivity again.
Is this a bug, or do I need to constantly set the Activity every like 2 Minutes or so?

Hello, when trying to login i keep getting this error code: { code: 4000, message: 'Invalid Client ID' }, the client id was taken directly from the applications general site, and the code is: rpc.login({ clientId }).catch(console.error) // Log in and catch any errors`

I have tried with two different codes, one of which i know for sure worked earlier this year, and that app has not been touched/deleted.

hallow badger Feb 19, 2019, 4:22 PM

So running into this error with node...

npm WARN discord-rpc@3.0.1 requires a peer of register-scheme

when I try to do npm install, it fails saying register-scheme is missing

but I can't seem to install register-scheme

What is more, register-scheme is not listed as a dep on npmjs.com

Error: Unresolved node modules: register-scheme

hallow badger Feb 19, 2019, 5:10 PM

It does show it in the package.json. Discord rpc runs fine without installing this dep - is this something that should be removed?

"peerDependencies": {
    "register-scheme": "github:devsnek/node-register-scheme"
  },

hallow badger Feb 19, 2019, 8:14 PM

Ok so I managed to get it fixed, you need to call
npm install -g --production windows-build-tools
npm install register-scheme@github:devsnek/node-register-scheme
npm install

and everything works as expected

arctic eagle Feb 24, 2019, 5:08 AM

@carmine mica The trailing comma here is still against pretty much all coding practices, and you should aspire to make this code to work with as many environments as possible. Fixing this mistake would cause no loss to you, so why not just merge the PR? The only reason I see for the trailing comma is for cleaner git diffs, but that is rarely the case and isn't done consistently throughout the project.

south wren Feb 24, 2019, 9:24 AM

How to find asset id?

Or can i use asset by name?

arctic eagle Feb 24, 2019, 2:14 PM

@left fjord unlike IE6, Electron 2 is still commonly in use by many people. Also, Electron 2 was released on May 2nd, 2018. IE6 was released on August 27th, 2001. It is not the same at all.

The git diff to fix the problem is only +1 -1, so why is there a problem? It's not like the project is going out of its way for compatibility fixing this, it's just blatantly disallowing people using slightly older versions of Chrome from using it.

torpid elm Feb 27, 2019, 3:31 PM

why is the corresponding Discord user in the example app ?

arctic eagle Feb 27, 2019, 3:32 PM

It's not. Are you talking about the ID? Replace that with your application's client ID, it needs it to provide the name of the application and select images

torpid elm Feb 27, 2019, 3:35 PM

But who is affected by the program ?

arctic eagle Feb 27, 2019, 3:37 PM

Whoever is running the program on their device. This code needs to be executed on the user's device. That's why its most common use is in electron apps. You will likely need to bundle node with your application, and that's just what electron does.

Excuse me, I have a question about discord-rich-presence:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord-rich-presence this one to be exact.
I'm pretty new to JS and I've kept searching for a way on how I might solve this. My problem is that I do not know, how I can reference the discord rpc to my JS (which is a chrome extension). What I want to do is: Get values from my chrome extension (done already!) and then display them in the RPC. I've downloaded the node module and have a folder with discord-rpc and a folder with "ws" for websocket I guess, but there are about 20JS files. How can I reference these to my chrome extension so that my main code can use the updatePresence() function?

shell fjord Mar 5, 2019, 3:40 PM

do you have npm?

shell fjord Mar 5, 2019, 6:03 PM

yes

I've got the package as well @boreal stream

It is also in my node modules

Now the question is how do I import this to my project? Since its a google extension, do I have to add every single .js file to the manifest.json maybe?

since it needs the client app

const clientId = 'CLIENTIDHERE';
const clientSecret = 'CLIENTSECRETHERE';
const redirectUri = 'REDIRECTURIHERE';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];

const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

client.on('ready', async () => {
  console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
  console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);

  console.log(await client.getVoiceSettings());
});

// Log in to RPC with client id
client.login({ clientId, clientSecret, redirectUri, scopes })
    .catch(console.error);

it doesnt auth properly and gives me the error invalid_client when it tries to exchange the code for an access token in the client#authorize

nocturne marlin Apr 9, 2019, 2:09 PM

Anyone know if it's possible to update rich presence from a web app?

maiden frost Apr 9, 2019, 2:43 PM

sure

just run a node server and have the webapp make requests to it

or do some server side rendering and package it together

nocturne marlin Apr 9, 2019, 2:50 PM

The node server would need to be localhost though, right?

maiden frost Apr 9, 2019, 2:50 PM

doesn't have to be

but usually requests are made from the same machine

nocturne marlin Apr 9, 2019, 2:51 PM

Hmm... Having trouble understanding how my server would communicate with a clients localhost

A request from the users browser to my server will not trigger communication w/ the users discord client

I was contemplating somehow using OAuth, but I couldn't really tell how to use the rpc oauth perms. Either I'm not searching right or documentation was unclear

Likely the former

maiden frost Apr 9, 2019, 2:53 PM

oh yeah duh, i forgot, the way i usually see it work is the server is distributed which is what actually "runs" the "game"

i have seen people do that with browser extensions

so you would have to run the "game" and then the browser extension makes requests to the local server or something

nocturne marlin Apr 9, 2019, 2:54 PM

I've seen a browser extension which works together with a ran application (extension tells the app what youtube video is being watch, for example, and the app updates rpc)

maiden frost Apr 9, 2019, 2:54 PM

right

if you were looking for a more streamlined experience you could probably make an electron app for it tho

nocturne marlin Apr 9, 2019, 2:54 PM

In this case it's a webapp, so the "game" runs in the browser. I don't think it's feasible to have each player run a local application

Ehh that's outside the scope of our goals for the foreseeable future. But yes, that would enable us to use rich presence pretty easily...

maiden frost Apr 9, 2019, 2:55 PM

yeah only because you said webapp, which is basically what electron was made for lol

sharp dagger Apr 9, 2019, 4:13 PM

How do I clear the rich presence if I want to apply a new rich presence

const startTimestamp = new Date();

@sharp dagger i'm pretty sure that just using rpc.setActivity() will replace the old text with the new text

idk if this is what you want but you can use a loop to check a condition then change the activity like so:

const clientId = '565161122798370816';

DiscordRPC.register(clientId);

const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });
const startTimestamp = new Date();

if(rpc.application) {
    rpc.destroy()
}

async function setActivity() {
    var details; 
    while(true) {
    
    if(condition) {
        details = "Idle";
    } else {
        details = "Browsing ${hostname}"
    }
    
    rpc.setActivity({
        details: details,
        state: 'on Dot Browser',
        startTimestamp,
        largeImageKey: 'dot-large',
        largeImageText: details,
        instance: false,

}

What is RPC?

fresh crag Apr 15, 2019, 12:23 PM

Read the Channel Topic ?

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that one program can use to request a service from a program located in another computer on a network without having to understand the network's details. A procedure call is also sometimes known as a function call or a subroutine call. RPC uses the client-server model.

Basically your node,js app can communicate with the Discord App

pastel sphinx Apr 15, 2019, 12:25 PM

Not only nodejs app thonkening

fresh crag Apr 15, 2019, 12:26 PM

supple imp May 1, 2019, 5:49 AM

hi... got question - is it possible to get user's mute/deafened states with RPC? I currently have working notifications when user gets new message but i don't know how to get those 2 states... I've tried with getVoiceSettings but i am only getting [Function: getVoiceSettings] in console...
The only way to check if user has changed his state is to subscribe to VOICE_SETTINGS_UPDATE event but that doesn't show actual mute/deafened status...

my code looks like this:

const RPC = require('discord-rpc');

const clientId = 'client ID here';
const scopes = ['identify', 'rpc', 'rpc.api', 'rpc.notifications.read'];

const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

client.on('ready', () => {

    console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);

    client.subscribe('NOTIFICATION_CREATE', () => {
        console.log('New notification received');
    });

    client.subscribe('VOICE_SETTINGS_UPDATE', () => {
        console.log('Voice settings changed');
    });

});

// Log in to RPC with client id
client.login({ clientId, scopes });```

left fjord May 1, 2019, 11:53 AM

@supple imp getting [Function: someName] means that you tried using function as a property. Like console.log(Math.random) instead of console.log(Math.random())

supple imp May 1, 2019, 2:58 PM

probably last question - how do I resolve Promise? I've tried everything and it's either not showing me the result at all or it logs Promise { <pending> }...

If i somehow manage to resolve it, it logs whatever I write in resolve and not the actual state FeelsBadMan

~~nevermind - i've found the solution - now I just need to get one line from the output instead of every single setting~~ FIXED

I was wondering if the clearActivity removes the presence from the user. I'm currently using a different rpc client and just wanted to see if that's the case before I switch and test

instead of just showing "Playing X"

For some reason I get "WebSocket is not a constructor" when using new Discord.Client({ transport: 'websocket' }); and "Transport is not a constructor" when using new Discord.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });
I'm using latest TypeScript and Electron v4.2.0, also Node v10

I think Webpack might be the problem

I just tested a simple js file that I started using node and it could set the RPC without any problems

And another lul. I basically copied the source into my project and it works. Using it as a dependency though does not. lul

The only difference is, I rewrote it in TypeScript

The RPC client emits an error when it can't initially communicate to the Discord client (via ipc) which is good, but relaunching Discord it doesn't emit any errors when it's failing to communicate to the Discord client.

Nevermind this is issue #42

is there any work being done on this?

urban star May 28, 2019, 4:51 AM

So, I wrote a very fake rich presence for Fortnite, but when I start it, I get these errors:

C:\Users\Axorian\Desktop\RPC>node .
(node:1848) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'write' of null
{ code: 4000, message: 'No Client ID Specified' }```

The ID is the exact ID from the Developer Portal and the code I have is:
```js
const DiscordRPC = require("discord-rpc")
const clientId = "582791418418954265";
DiscordRPC.register(clientId);

const rpc = new DiscordRPC.Client({
    transport: "ipc"
});

const start = new Date();

rpc.setActivity({
    details: "Battle Royale - In Lobby",
    state: "In A Squad",
    startTimestamp: start,
    partySize: 1,
    partyMax: 4,
    joinSecret: "thisisjustatestsecret",
    largeImageKey: "fortnite",
    smallImageKey: "tier",
    smallImageText: "Tier 45"
});

rpc.login(clientId).catch(console.error);```

I am not sure what i'm doing wrong...

Okay, now I just get the No Client ID Specified error.

I think I fixed it by using; rpc.login({ clientId: clientId }); which I found from the GitHub issues.

left fjord May 28, 2019, 5:10 AM

you can also do rpc.login({clientId}) since { something: something } is equal to { something }

if you can't see the difference between this and your original code, login() takes object with client id inside.

so discord rpc question in general: when a user authorizes an app to connect to their local discord client via rpc, do they set permissions on what it can do?

I'm looking through the docs discord has on this and am intrigued by the prospect of third party apps gaining authorisation to access your discord whereupon they can just read all your DMs

ah nevermind, found the scopes thingumy which controls access permissions

discord rpc program is completely broken today

https://github.com/legoandmars/nightscout-discord-rich-presence

it works client-side but won't show up on the web client or for anybody who isn't me

is discord rp being weird atm

not even EasyRP works

tried on 2 accounts with 2 separate applications

is nobody else having issues with rich presence because this is driving me insane

and no real definitive solution that i haven't tried

smoky scroll Jun 8, 2019, 4:31 PM

thats old
spotify already has its own RP
discord is sometimes very weird on showing status
eg: everyone see that you "playing visual studio code" but you see "listening to spotify"

gleaming temple Jun 8, 2019, 4:32 PM

that's not the official spotify implementation

it's from before that existed

it's a custom application just like mine

and i know discord can be weird about it but it's never just flat-out refused to show my rich presence

for days

smoky scroll Jun 8, 2019, 4:34 PM

yeah same maybe discord changes something for this you could ask in the official discord-api discord if they know something there but i think its just a Client issue/discord api doesnt send the update to other users

ruby lance Jun 22, 2019, 3:15 PM

You could get all members in your current voice channel via bot, after that you just have to setup a rpc and push the informations you want to display inside of the field.
So, it would work.

@fair rapids You can do .catch().then(Promise.resolve); to catch the exception. This should fix the Promise exception too.

https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/rpc

It's the rich presence

You know how some games have like join / spectate features linked with Discord right?

vapid raptor Jul 12, 2019, 1:02 PM

no

i didnt knew that

lethal whale Jul 12, 2019, 1:03 PM

As an example

vapid raptor Jul 12, 2019, 1:03 PM

i only know discord have the feature to see what you are playing

and be able to open the game

lethal whale Jul 12, 2019, 1:03 PM

All this extra data comes from RPC

smoky pivot Jul 12, 2019, 1:03 PM

Yeah, it basically gives better information for applicaitons

It's in closed beta though afaik

vapid raptor Jul 12, 2019, 1:04 PM

soo the bot will be able to have his rich presence changed?

if i use djs rpc ?

smoky pivot Jul 12, 2019, 1:05 PM

No, that's not it. It's about providing additional details to "Playing a game"

Let's just take an example, the devs of a game could integrate their API with the Discord RPC. For example if someone is playing CSGO you could make a rich presence that the user is playing (x) map for (y) long time with (z) score

lethal whale Jul 12, 2019, 1:07 PM

It's not so much for a bot as for an end-user

Something with an RPC component is running on their machine and interacting with the Discord client running on the same machine.

Correct me if I'm wrong here.

vapid raptor Jul 12, 2019, 1:10 PM

soo is like info that you send to discord from your pc and the discord display it?

lethal whale Jul 12, 2019, 1:27 PM

Yes

However, you need a valid client ID for this and Discord is currently not giving them out to random people (closed beta)

pastel sphinx Jul 12, 2019, 6:11 PM

Afaik, the client ID is only here to "enable" the Spectate and Join buttons

any application can have an RPC with infos about things like what map you play on, how many time you played etc, but only whitelisted apps for now will make your profile have the "Spectate" and "Join" button clickable instead of greyed out

left fjord Jul 12, 2019, 8:51 PM

Client ID is to be able to use proper app on discord's side

Can you display data from the bot to the RP?

golden shuttle Jul 13, 2019, 11:20 PM

"only basic status message afaik"

clear junco Jul 14, 2019, 4:41 AM

Bots can have a presence (as I like to call it). Which is just the title (under the name), like "!help" or "serving 238 servers". But no rich presence.

frozen cradle Jul 14, 2019, 6:18 AM

I have a problem..
It's not with the RichPresence but with the Bot's game activity

I have try to make the activity change every 30 seconds, the code is right (without error)

client.on('ready', () => {
    let activityTypes = ['PLAYING','STREAMING','LISTENING','WATCHING']
    let activityText = [`${client.guilds.size} serveurs`,`${client.channels.size} channels`,'Poloin The Boss' ,'Mange tes morts']

    let randomType = activityTypes[Math.floor((Math.random()*activityTypes.length))]
    let randomActivity = activityText[Math.floor((Math.random()*activityText.length))]

setInterval(async ()=>{
    await client.user.setActivity(randomActivity, { type: randomType })
}, 30000)
})

But, he change just when the bot disconnect and reconnect..

Some one know why ?

proud sparrow Jul 14, 2019, 6:25 AM

Because your doing it inside your client.on('ready' ) event

frozen cradle Jul 14, 2019, 6:26 AM

Oh ! Yes I'm stupid, but I need to put it on what event ?

@proud sparrow

proud sparrow Jul 14, 2019, 6:42 AM

Well, The simplest way would be to create a command

frozen cradle Jul 14, 2019, 6:45 AM

I execute the command when the bot was ready and i say to the command to do my code ?

sudden tusk Jul 18, 2019, 2:19 PM

Hi !
I noticed that a lot of methods are missing in the documentation website, the one who's in charge of it should update it !
e.g. : RPCClient#getRelationships doesn't appear on the website (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/rpc/master/class/RPCClient?scrollTo=getRelationships), although it's used here : (https://github.com/discordjs/RPC/blob/3444ac24d2f0d5f52f59207a8759d928207df0ad/test/rp.js#L45) and implemented here : (https://github.com/discordjs/RPC/blob/3444ac24d2f0d5f52f59207a8759d928207df0ad/src/client.js#L630)

sudden tusk Jul 21, 2019, 7:26 AM

I'm not an expert but I can try to help
@noble valley

Maybe you should do : client.login ({clientId : process.env.CLIENT_ID, scopes : scopes})
@unborn stream
It seems you're not authentificated, can you send us a screenshot of code where you log in ?

unborn stream Jul 21, 2019, 8:05 AM

const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read', 'email', 'guilds', 'rpc.notifications.read'];

rpc.on('ready', async () => {

    console.log('- Activated -');
    rpc.setActivity({
        details: `Hello random stranger!`,
        state: 'This is RPC.',
        largeImageKey: 'croc_surprised',
        largeImageText: 'This actually works',
        smallImageKey: 'moo_moo',
        smallImageText: 'Here is a pixel art cow.',
        instance: false,
    });
    setTimeout(async function() {
        var guilds = await rpc.getGuilds();
        console.log(guilds);
    }, 1000);

});

// Log in to RPC with client id
rpc.login({ clientId, scopes });

but the rpc works, just the guilds part fails, should i still do that?

sudden tusk Jul 21, 2019, 8:12 AM

Honestly, I think you should because the client#login method take and object as a parameter
Maybe It won't solve the .getGuilds() issue, but it'll avoid others 😉

unborn stream Jul 21, 2019, 8:26 AM

still same error

sudden tusk Jul 21, 2019, 8:29 AM

Ok, well I'm gonna search on source code ...

sudden tusk Jul 21, 2019, 8:44 AM

Didn't find something revelant ...
You can pass your timeout as a parameter of getGuilds() ...

Um...

sudden tusk Jul 21, 2019, 9:01 AM

Maybe try to add your clientSecret to client#login method

unborn stream Jul 21, 2019, 9:48 AM

how would i do that?

sudden tusk Jul 21, 2019, 10:28 AM

({clientId : * , clientSecret : *})
Your client secret can be found on the developer portal

unborn stream Jul 21, 2019, 10:40 AM

ok ill try that

nope didnt work

Do you need to enable your game activity in order for it to work?

cause I've tried this before, didn't work for me

well.. do you have game activity enabled right now?

I meant if you turned this on

hexed python Jul 24, 2019, 9:24 PM

of course it is

as its displayed

the presence is ok

i wanted to try another available method that could be easy to setup

selecttextchannel seemed perfect i just need to check if it has been changed on my discord client

and actually it doesnt work

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 4:51 AM

Is it bad practice to expose my discord rich presence client id?

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 4:56 AM

Your bot's ID?

Don't expose any Client Secrets if that's what you mean

Client ID as in 575108662457139201

Is okay I believe, since anyone with Dev Mode enabled can get your bot account's ID

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 4:58 AM

Okay, thanks for the confirmation

Rewriting something and realised I had pushed it to github

The bot's id, that is

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 4:59 AM

Yeah, just don't expose client secrets / tokens

Client ID is okay afaik

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 4:59 AM

Yeah, the reason I'm rewriting it is so I don't have to expose my API keys 😃

Which is a huge pita

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 5:00 AM

could just put them in a .json or .env then require them and not include that .json or .env file in the repo

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 5:00 AM

That's how it is now

but I don't want to force users to create their own api key for ease of use

So I am making an API gateway so my electron app just hits that instead of the real api

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 5:01 AM

Oh?

Could you elaborate a bit? I'm not too familiar with this whole djs-rpc thing Lol

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 5:02 AM

So the djs-rpc thing is fine, but the information I'm updating it with needs to be pulled from the bungie api

So I am making a server that the app pings and that returns the data so I don't expose my bungie api key

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 5:02 AM

Ah, okay

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 5:03 AM

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 5:03 AM

So basically linking a console platform to discord's rpc?

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 5:04 AM

Yeah basically

Because destiny doesn't have rpc, so I am making ti myself

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 5:04 AM

afaik discord supports XBox as an rpc

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 5:04 AM

hmmm, I'll have to look into that...

I started this like a year ago when destiny 2 came out, but I think I just want to get this working 100% before I start looking at more complex rpc options

because the bungie api can let me hit pc/xbox/ps4 without any hassle

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 5:05 AM

that's cool

lone totem Jul 25, 2019, 5:05 AM

Thanks 😃

weary zinc Jul 25, 2019, 5:06 AM

I'm currently writing a detailed documentation for my API, which is a pain in the ass cause I have extended versions and simplified versions

before

nothing works

still doesnt work

whoever has made discord rpc come 😭

lets try to add the client secret

doesnt work anymore...

OMG

rllly

no fake

here it is undefined so it cannot authenticate afterwards

oof

want me to tell the fixes ?

basically i changed only one thing

there were two problems from the example

the redirect uri is required so in the example it should be provided and you should add 127.0.0.1 as default also

the client secret is required too (else you get 401)

(optional) the scope error that happened to uwuwu too idk what it was due to but it has been fixed by providing my own app client id

hexed python Jul 25, 2019, 5:29 PM

force does no longer exist

left fjord Jul 25, 2019, 7:13 PM

you know, that whole monologue from ala most likely fixes that

at least according to https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/222078108977594368/379350641761320982/603985042687131648

Look at the example, https://discord.js.org/#/docs/rpc/master/general/welcome

left fjord Jul 27, 2019, 3:37 PM

iirc you should use login instead of connect

smoky scroll Jul 27, 2019, 3:37 PM

oh wait

waxen trail Jul 27, 2019, 3:37 PM

^ client.connect doesn't take any arguments

smoky scroll Jul 27, 2019, 3:37 PM

i saw this for spotify spotify:034c9a257d1d8088357b74aa1c52da2b52296877

hexed python Jul 28, 2019, 2:29 PM

@obsidian mirage its not a protocol

u need to pass the name of your image as defined in your app's params

as defined in your app's params

Are you trying to run RP on some 3rd party service? @smoky scroll

smoky scroll Jul 31, 2019, 1:49 PM

Yes, Can you use google translate i don't understand English :x @smoky scroll

English > French

No, I can't

weary zinc Jul 31, 2019, 1:52 PM

I mean, you can translate it to french lol (Speaking to ODIS)

smoky scroll Jul 31, 2019, 1:52 PM

To use RP you need to run the script with Discord client being opened on your PC

I activate the RP client bot but even with glitch or third console sa do not want to connect me. I have already tested everything, I even send an email to the team discord piur kind of situation, He said to me:
`
Hello Tim,

Sorry for the wait !

After turning to my team, it seems that the only solution is to go through a computer.
I know you do not have a computer, but it seems to be the only way. :(

Please excuse me for not being able to meet your expectations.
However, if you have other questions, I remain at your disposal!

Regards,
Benjamin

I ask a friend to make the same mistake as me

Not to sound bad, but I didn't understand anything

Is google translate

frosty heart Jul 31, 2019, 4:42 PM

@smoky scroll

type it in french

smoky scroll Jul 31, 2019, 4:43 PM

that just means you NEED to have a desktop to run RPC.

@smoky scroll Même si je suis en galère aussi parce qu'ils parlent tous anglais (😭) je peux peut-être t'aider ?

smoky scroll Aug 1, 2019, 4:00 PM

Ouais, Tu peu aller en privé ? @deft mica

english only please

left fjord Aug 2, 2019, 2:41 PM

it's not gonna be

you have to run that on pc with discord, running rpc on glitch will not work

hidden linden Aug 3, 2019, 6:02 AM

And he also has some undefined variables

smoky scroll Aug 3, 2019, 11:03 AM

Rpc works cuz discordapp makea a custom proxy server for it

craggy boughBOT Aug 4, 2019, 12:47 AM

hexed python Aug 4, 2019, 4:01 PM

Well brand new problem

const { code } = await this.request('AUTHORIZE', {
      scopes,
      client_id: this.clientId,
      rpc_token: rpcToken,
      redirect_uri: redirectUri,
    });``` here the rpc server replies that redirect_uri is not defined whereas it is totally

totally unable to authenticate with scopes

I used to make it work

hexed python Aug 4, 2019, 5:30 PM

they dont even talk about the redirect uri param

hexed python Aug 4, 2019, 7:05 PM

the source of the problem is from discord...

ptb

i think

oh maybe i fixed it

ye fixed

oof

once again the lib is outdated

sudden tusk Aug 5, 2019, 9:17 AM

@hexed python
(Sorry for tag ^^)
How did you do to fix it ?

hexed python Aug 5, 2019, 9:18 AM

I don't really know 😂 I fixed it on my improved version of the rpc but not on the normal version

One thing is sure : redirect uri has nothing to do here

I was comparing what my discord client was receiving and what my rpc client was sending, comparing it to the Discord client's rpc code and it started working at this moment

You know every rpc emits or incoming pings are logged in the console of your discord client

sudden tusk Aug 5, 2019, 9:38 AM

Ok thanks ^^

noble sky Aug 8, 2019, 10:46 PM

Any ideas on why setActivity may not be working:

  client.setActivity({
    ...activity,
    startTimestamp,
    endTimestamp,
  }).catch(console.log(activity, startTimestamp, endTimestamp));

will log:

Updating now...
Green Day Coming Clean 13.626000404358 94.813003540039 playing
{
  details: 'Coming Clean',
  state: 'Green Day',
  largeImageKey: 'tigitunes_jpg'
} 2019-08-08T22:45:28.071Z 2019-08-08T22:47:02.885Z

Just to clarify, it does login fine.

hexed python Aug 9, 2019, 12:14 AM

@noble sky there seem to be no error here

Just log the error

Catch callback first param

slim pike Aug 9, 2019, 6:36 AM

?

sudden tusk Aug 9, 2019, 3:44 PM

@noble sky
If I've understood,
activity is an object which equals to

{
   details:'Coming Clean',
   state:'Green Day',
   largeImageKey:'tigitunes_jpg'
}```
Am I right ?
Then startTimestamp and endTimestamp have to be inside activity object
(According to doc example, which is old)

noble sky Aug 10, 2019, 2:08 PM

Ah okay, thank you @sudden tusk. I will see if I can fix that.

smoky scroll Aug 11, 2019, 2:41 AM
