Known Issues
- if you launch the program before Windows Media Player, it wont be able to read the playback info
Album art manager
- you must create application on https://discord.com/developers/applications to be able to use custom album art
- create app there, and put the app id into this program
- upload your cover arts + bundled textures into Rich Presence -> art assets
- open art manager by pressing the 3 dots button in this program
- on left, you have list of already paired album arts
- on right, you have 3 options how "pair" album arts with songs
1) by exact album name, past the album name into the correct field, and put the album "key"/filename into the filename key
2) by album name containing specific string. enter string of words into the field, and album art filename that will show for songs that have album name with containing this string. you can also specify that it must not contain some string
3) same as 2 except with song name instead of album name
you may also enter priority in which the album art is searched. 0 is highest priority, 9 is lower priority
click close on the album manager window, and it will automatically save (the pairs are saved in albumarts.csv, do not delete the file!)
- if the info was entered correctly, it should now show the matching album art file name in bottom corner:
if you do not want to use the custom album arts, you can use app id "1076519967631093891"
