Can't change activity of a non-bot client

[TotomInc]

Please describe the problem you are having in as much detail as possible:

I am trying to make a small userscript that display the current track playing from SoundCloud on Google Chrome, linked to my Discord user account. It works well with a bot-client but the user activity don't change when I'm logged in with a user account.

When testing the script, I am logged from both the Windows Discord client and the SoundCloud tab. Maybe it's because of 2 simultaneous connections on a same (user?) account.

As a side note, I can change the status (from idle to online, DND to idle, ...).

Include a reproducible code sample here, if possible:

// retrieve the track title from the soundcloud tab
let track = 'track title from soundcloud tab';

// once track title retrieved, set the new user activity with the track name
client.user.setActivity(track)
    .then((activity) => console.log('[DiscordJS EXTENSION] activity set:', activity));

Further details:

• discord.js version: 11.3-dev for browser

• node.js version: browser (Google Chrome 66.0.3359.139)

• Operating system: Windows 10

• Priority this issue should have: very low

• [x] I found this issue while running code on a user account

• [ ] I have also tested the issue on latest master, commit hash:

you should use RPC for this: https://github.com/discordjs/RPC

Alright, thanks!

Discord RPC is currently in private beta according to Discord dev-docs, I get Invalid Origin error.

@Totomlnc you should use IPC not websockets

Looks like discordjs/rpc is broken with ipc transport type.
