Last.fm is getting queried and I see the correct track being dumped out in the terminal - and a message saying connected to Discord so am assuming the token is correct - but I get no status updated to the Last-fm track.

Ubuntu 17.04, Discord 30/03/2017 - Linux

Sadly, the Discord API does not send you your own status updates. Basically, this means the desktop client is not aware that you have set anything, so it will show your status as empty. Sorry - Nothing I can do until they change how this works in the backend.

If you want to check that it's working for sure, ask a friend to tell you what your status message is. Some bots can also display it for you (mine cannot yet).

Feel free to re-open this if other users are seeing an empty status. The script output looks good to me, it should be working properly.

Ahh - perfect. Might want to add the readme

vsTerminus commented 7 years ago

It's already in the readme, but I can make it more obvious.
