Progress bar not working

[adkeyz]

Hi, I am using the newest 2.10.0 version and have added "progressMode: Bar" to my config file but it's not displaying the bar and still showing the elapsed time.

I have "remainingTime: false", I tried to remove this line completely but it keeps being added back to the config when running the script.

Am I doing something wrong here? Below is my config.

logging: debug: false writeToFile: false display: duration: true genres: true album: true year: true statusIcon: false remainingTime: false paused: true posters: enabled: true imgurClientID: maxSize: 256 buttons:

Are you sure you're using v2.10.0? You should see Discord Rich Presence for Plex - v2.10.0 when you run the script.

The behaviour you're describing would be exhibited if you were using an older version.

You were right, I checked the first line of the running script and it was still showing 2.9.0 even though I replaced all the files.

I just deleted everything and set it up from scratch and the bar is now showing.

Completely my fault, sorry!

I do notice that when paused, the bar disappears and the elapsed time shows instead but the time is completely wrong, is this normal?

No worries.

This is broken on Discord's end. I'm omitting the timestamp in the data sent to Discord while media is paused because it's not possible to make it display a static/frozen timestamp, but Discord is ignoring the omission and displaying a timestamp starting from 0. We'll have to wait for them to fix it. For the time being, you can set display.paused to false in your config to just hide your Rich Presence while media is paused.

@phin05 Not sure if you are aware of this but I have noticed that the elapsed, remaining and paused functions do display properly on my mobile app so it looks like the information is being sent to the discord app properly it's just not displaying it on the desktop app for some reason. Either way, I'm using the progress bar which works for both desktop and mobile now :)

I have also noticed that when you start playing something, the rich presence will start showing the time elapsed for about 10-15 seconds before switching to the bar.

Would it not be possible to still have the rich presence persist while paused without the time instead of just disappearing completely?

I use the below app for YouTube Music which has a rich presence plugin and the progress bar is instant and when paused the rich presence remains but just the progress bar disappears until playback is resumed.

@FortKnox1337 That's good to know.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue. I always see only the progress bar as long as display.progressMode is set to bar, except while paused because that's broken on Discord's end.

You can do this by setting display.paused to true in your config. The time is supposed to disappear but it's not doing that because it's broken on Discord's end.

I believe the progress bar is disappearing only for yourself. The same thing happens to me with my script. Pause your media and ask someone else if they can see your progress bar.

I've restarted the script and the issue seems to have gone away, I will keep an eye on it.

You're right, again! I logged into my other account to see what happens and when I pause YT Music it shows the broken time instead of the bar or blank as it appears to me, same as your code.

I guess we're just at the mercy of Discord then, if and when they decide to fix the bug instead of just releasing more overpriced avatar decorations!
