Discord rich presence for VLC media player.

A fork of vlc-rpc/rpc-discord-rpc (Originally Pigpog/vlc-discord-rpc), rewritten in TypeScript and refactored for my own personal preferences and usage.

In addition to the original features, I've added movie and anime presence support, while also expanding on what the presence displays

1. Clone this repository.

2. Install Node.js.

3. Configure the ./src/config.ts file to your liking.

   • For fetching track metadata, retrieve your Spotify API key. You'll need to fill in clientID and clientSecret.
   • For fetching movie metadata, create a TMDb account and retrieve your API key from here. You'll need to fill in API Key (v3 auth) to the apiKey parameter.
   • For fetching anime metadata, create a MyAnimeList account and retrieve your API key from here. You'll need to fill in Client ID to the clientId parameter.

4. Open a terminal, move to the folder you downloaded from this repository, and run npm i to install dependencies.

5. Run npm run build to build the project, then run npm start to start the program.

For subsequent launches, you can just run npm start to start the program.

Note: Every time you want to change the configuration, you'll need to do step 5 again.
