Have you looked into possibly a Cron job with a delay to run at boot so Discord has enough time to boot before Discord-RPC attempts to connect to your client?

My experience with Linux ends with servers, I’ve never used an OS with a GUI so I’m not entirely sure what other alternatives there are to those that are on Windows. (e.g. Task Scheduler)

Maybe we could just try to implement an automatic retry every X seconds?

Yes

Jxyme commented 3 years ago

Just released an update to address this @rbrtbrnschn. Hopefully this resolves the issue, and sorry for the delay.

The default duration to retry is set to 15 seconds, however, if you wish to shorten and/or extend this duration, you can.

Simply modify this line in index.js locally after downloading the latest Release.

Hey @Jxyme why don't you set that in the config?

Hey @Jxyme why don't you set that in the config?

Good question. I originally did, although I chose to remove the configuration setting before committing the changes.

I thought it would be best for the config.json to remain the same, primarily focused on the Discord RPC’s appearance, for ease of use purposes.

I’ve had a number of issues opened and DMs over on Discord in regards to the setup & configuration being difficult to understand, and so I personally thought this would be the right decision to make.

Hopefully you understand and can see where I’m coming from. :)

I see right. Thank you for your precious time :)
