Failed to decode payload: `'{^A`

Description

When trying to run this plugin in NvChad it fails to start. (I saw a similar error occur in #116 [here]).

Config

-- initialisation
  {
    "andweeb/presence.nvim",
    lazy = false,
    opts = function ()
      return require "custom.configs.presence"
    end,

      require('presence').setup(opts)
    end
  }

Are you using the flathub version of discord?

[Arthurdw]

Not sure, using whatever the aur set.

Edit: No, the AUR does not use the flatpak version.

I have the same error. Following what others have posted in other issues that reference this, I'm using Discord installed from the Arch Linux extra repo. My system and nvim plugins are all up-to-date. I even nuked my nvim install and reinstalled in case there was some caching issue with something else.

I'd like that there's been no commits to master since January, and no PR reviews from the author since last year.

[GustavoPrietoP]

can confirm I have this problem as well

[soulis-1256]

I have the issue as well on Fedora. Discord is installed from copr.

Was anyone able to fix this issue for themselves? Facing the same issue on macos macOS 14.4.1 23E224 arm64

[tyrumus]

Solution: uninstall unmaintained, and unnecessary, plugin.
