YTDP presence for all open Discord instances #25

Closed charleskimbac closed 2 months ago

charleskimbac commented 4 months ago

It'd be nice if YTDP showed a presence for all open Discord instances (stable, PTB, & canary).
Right now I have stable and PTB open and the presence only shows for the first instance that's opened.

Hey, sorry for the late response! Could you provide some more details on this issue? I don't know how Discord.js works, but it might only be able to connect to one websocket (Discord instance) at a time. Is there a reason why you need to have multiple opened at the same time?

charleskimbac commented 2 months ago

I just use 2 discord instances with different accounts and it'd be nice if they both had the presence. No clue how things in the backend work though.

XFG16 commented 2 months ago

I see!

How it works on the backend is that the Node.js process creates a Discord socket connection to send the presence from Chrome to Discord. The socket only connects to one client at a time, so that's why it can only update one at a time. I'm not sure if I would be able to work a solution out, because I feel this use case is relatively niche and this application is designed for the average person who uses one account at a time.

However, if you do want support, I'd suggest you clone the code and make it so that multiple connections are made at a time instead of one.
