Pull rich presence data off of Discord once VLC is closed? #4

Closed WCBROW01 closed 6 years ago

WCBROW01 commented 6 years ago

I noticed that the VLC media player status stays after VLC is closed until you close the program. I want to keep this open in the background as a startup program, so I really need this behavior. Is this possible?

Pigpog commented 6 years ago

I've considered making the script start vlc for you and stop when vlc is closed. In fact, droopy-vlc has the code for this. Ill implement it soon. Hopefully this is equivalent or better than what you are trying to accomplish.

WCBROW01 commented 6 years ago

I kind of want it to start and stop on it's own without any user interaction, so yeah, something like that I guess.

Pigpog commented 6 years ago

New update should accomplish this.

I know this still doesn't help if you start vlc by opening a media file, but it's definitely an improvement.
