Hi, I've been trying to use this, but it just shows two lines of text and no image even though I tried to edit the config.json file. I should set those two lines using the launched app and not through config.json.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined

I think its a node problem. I've just tried making a new electron app for something similar and I've been getting the same error for hours.
We will both have to wait for a new electron to be pushed.

I was noticing that even after enable timestamps, with the "start" config, that it wasn't showing them in rich presence. The app reported a ridiculous number on each song, often in the thousands of minutes. I checked the json file created by GPMDP in ~/.config, and found that it was reporting in ms, and the client was clearly dividing by 60 then reporting it as minutes. I attached a screenshot with more info.
