RPC API Calls such as pypresence not working

Plugin using API works well via installed .deb, but not in snap. Tried the following in snap, but still got a file not found error

After some research I found some snap plugins which opened up a few more permissions, which did not work - at least with Ubuntu 18.04 (since it's referencing Unity, I assume this worked on earlier versions). snap connect discord:system-observe :system-observe snap connect discord:unity7 :unity7

Plugin in question is: https://github.com/ToppleKek/discord-rhythmbox-plugin which works perfectly if .deb is installed.

System is Ubuntu 18.04

I guess we need to find the right plug/interface for allowing rpc

I guess this has something to do with it:

Closing ancient issue.
