Change the default "Playing VLC Media Player" rich presence.

[jeryjs]

I was just hoping that there would be some way to change the rich presence from "Playing VLC Media Player" to smth else for me like by changing the app ID r smth. So, is it possible?

[Pigpog]

Yes, it is possible to change that text. Create a new Discord Application, name it what you want it to say, and then use that app ID. Be sure to upload the image assets to the rich presence section.

Thx, I was able to change the name, but I noticed that It doesn't show the paused icon (or volume) when the video is paused. Is there anything I need to change here? But it displays the 'Playing' icon fine.

[Pigpog]

perhaps it should be "paused" instead of "pause"

[jeryjs]

Oh! Okay tho in the /icons/ folder it was mentioned 'paused'

[jeryjs]

oh, sry, my bad... It was 'pause' and not 'paused'

[Pigpog]

aw cool lemme know if it works

[jeryjs]

Nope... no luck. It still doesn't show the paused icon

[Pigpog]

Try reopening discord, maybe the asset hasnt propagated to your client yet

[jeryjs]

Ah! I fixed it! I had to set the 'small image key' to 'pauselight'

[jeryjs]

tho is it possible to make the playing/ paused icons white (like before) instead of black

[Pigpog]

youd have to name the light assets playing paused stopped, sorry thats a bit inconvenient to change now for ya

[jeryjs]

kay! thx! and hw do i change the vlc icon? rn only the default 'vlc' icon works

[Pigpog]

the large icon can be set in config.js, the largeIcon setting

[jeryjs]

oh, sry, I meant how to add my own vlc icon instead of default

[Pigpog]

just upload a new large icon as an asset and set its name in config.js

[jeryjs]

any name?

[Pigpog]

any name works yes

[jeryjs]

will try now

[jeryjs]

Nope... didnt work Now the Paused icon appears as the large icon and vlc icon is absent

[Pigpog]

try reloading discord

[jeryjs]

It's still black even though I removed all the black icons and replaced them with the light

[jeryjs]

try reloading discord

ok

[Pigpog]

your client is caching the assets in the application. it can take some time for changes to show up on your end. restarting your discord client usually makes it reload the assets

[jeryjs]

Yay~ Now the small icons appear in white.

Also, Should I add the other images such as 'vlcflat', 'vlcblue', 'vlcneon', etc? cuz it doesnt work if i set anything other than 'vlc' in config.js

[Pigpog]

nah the other images arent required. not sure why names other than vlc wouldnt work, other than caching maybe

edit: oh you mean name them the same. Nah that shouldnt matter

[jeryjs]

Thx, I was able to change the name, but I noticed that It doesn't show the paused icon (or volume) when the video is paused. Is there anything I need to change here? But it displays the 'Playing' icon fine.

NOOOOO It started frm problem 1 again :( It doesnt show the 'paused' icon even if I set the 'small image key' to 'pauselight' in developer portal

[Pigpog]

you know the developer portal doesnt change your actual rich presence right? it shouldnt be possible for the icon to not show up in the rich presence visualizer when you pick it-- unless theres a bug on discord's end

[jeryjs]

oh... didn't knw that lol well, maybe waiting for a bit could fix it

[Pigpog]

most likely. the discord servers dont like to work very hard when it comes to caching that stuff

[jeryjs]

🤣 Yea seems like it. Thx for helping me.

[Pigpog]

no problem, glad you could get it working, merry christmas
