Gets your current track from MPD, and shows it in your Discord Rich Presence.
It also gets metadata for the song via Last.fm's API, such as the album cover. People clicking on your profile can easily view your current track on last.fm.
A package is also available in the AUR:
yay -S mpd-rich-presence-bin
# if you want to run it as a service:
systemctl --user enable mpd-rich-presence.service
systemctl --user start mpd-rich-presence.service
Download the binary from the latest release, and execute it.
If you have go
installed and want to build it from source easily:
go install github.com/nekowinston/mpd-rich-presence@latest
A Homebrew tap is available:
nekowinston/tap/mpd-rich-presence
Then start & enable the service:
brew services start nekowinston/tap/mpd-rich-presence
Remember to restart this service after updates.
Configuration is available, but not required. The config file can either be
located in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
, ~/.config
, or next to the binary.
