[enhancement] Adding "Watching" state instead of "Playing" #33

Closed Ma145 closed 2 years ago

A nice feature would be instead of showing "Playing" ("Jogando" in Portuguese. My Discord is in Portuguese in the image above) show "Watching". Thanks for the app, amazing job <3

I don't think that is possible. Discord Rich Presence was made for games, and I think that "Playing" refers to playing a game and is a fixed value which can't be changed

unnamed (1) It might be possible to do something like the Deezer Discord Integration extension ? Github

It is possible: https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/python/discord+rich+presence+python

This is not possible using the allowed methods (RPC / GameSDK) provided by Discord for setting Rich Presence.

It can be done by sending Gateway Presence Updates directly to the Discord WebSocket Gateway, which is what that Deezer extension seems to be doing, but using the gateway in third-party applications for non-bot accounts would fall under self-botting which is forbidden by Discord.

Discord allows changing the activity type now. Implemented in v2.8.0.
