As the readme currently is, I am really not sure what how this discord rich presence is supposed to work. I think adding some clarification or more details may help people in the same situation as I am.

I am running Linux, my vlc is installed in the default location /usr/bin/vlc I also installed npm into the unzipped folder to be safe. This is what happens when I run the script. image

This may actually be an error. I tried running it detached (npm start detached) with the following error:

(node:18738) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9090 at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1088:14) (node:18738) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch().

In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

Happy to provide more information.

I have figured out the problem. VLC must be closed at the time the script was run so that the script can open VLC. I think some clarification may help in the readme. Thank you.
