There is a space followed by a dash between the artist and genre to clearly separate the two.

works fine when i run from terminal, but the unit never seems to connect to discord when running under systemd. below is the actual code for the systemd unit. i've already tried switching from root to my user, but no luck it seems. i'm gonna assume that this is a nix based issue, but want to see if theres anything that can be done about it on this end. any ideas?
_: {
systemd.services.jellyfin-rpc = {
enable = true;
wantedBy = [
"multi-user.target"
];
description = "Displays the content you're currently watching on Discord!";
serviceConfig = {
User = "root";
ExecStart = "/nix/store/gfwcai4i1cl3w8lbli4dsg0z369z2fn4-user-environment/bin/jellyfin-rpc --config /home/notoh/.config/jellyfin-rpc/main.json";
Restart = "always";
RestartSec = 30;
};
};
}```So i dont entirely understand discord rpc, but would it not be possible to allow users to integrate this like so:
Then it could be used with multiple users and without the need for any single user to be logged into discord on the server for this to work?
I understand this probably isnt easy to achieve or might not even be possible but would be super cool
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For a beginner like me, I can't understand on how to install the client, the doc is incomprehensible.
Could you be please making a good tutorial like a video or just a doc with everything describe in it?
My plan is to have the rpc running 24/7 on my Debian 12 machine. I installed the program via the python installer and it installed fine. I also activated autostart. Now the problem is (It might sounds dumb): I dont really know how to acces for example the terminal or even see if it's running. I know where the configuration file is but nothing more than that. Do I have to install something else?
Edit: On Windows it works just fine with the same configuration file.
Thanks for your help!

Hi, does this project support emby? was just curious as I entered my emby server url but did not work first try, however was working with jellyfin of course, thanks for your work on the project!
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I got Jellyfin connected to a custom Interface on my projector that I can connect to using the cast feature. On the backend, it's a separate user logged in that I cast to. jellyfin-rpc however detects a user casting to another user as the second user playing it.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like for either the config the be able to take multiple usernames for tracking or for jellyfin-rpc to understand when a user is casting to another as the first user playing it.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered automatically updating the config based on what I'm doing with a tiny script, but that might be a bit overkill.
Additional context
Probably not really important for this, but the UI is an Electron app displaying Jellyfin with a lot of custom JS/CSS.
I am using local DNS for Jellyfin and I can visit the site in the browser but with RPC it doesn't work

Had a few issues with systemd before this that involved me needing to use machinectl to log in, but resolved those. This issue occurs after that, while running the jellyfin-rpc binary manually, and even after I've disabled UFW fully.
The Jellyfin server and RPC client are on the same machine.
I'm not sure what conditions cause this bug to occur, but the Jellyfin rich presence comes and goes from my profile, almost as if it's flickering.
Sometimes, it stops working entirely until I restart my PC.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like for people to see only the music im playing.
Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to toggle on or off certain media types (or librairies but that would be a best case scenario)
I just submitted a PKGBUILD for your package to the AUR so that users on Arch Linux can easily install it on their system: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jellyfin-rpc
Coincidentally, another user submitted the git distribution (which always builds the latest master) just a few hours earlier, which you can find here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jellyfin-rpc-git.
Both of these packages can be linked so that users could choose between stable releases and the latest and greatest (and perhaps less stable).
Thanks!

Basically I think it looks weird when the "xx:xx left" keeps resetting every time the presence is set (every couple of seconds).
Describe the solution you'd like
In its place, a small icon for it would be nice. Could also have "Paused" but I don't think Discord gives room for that.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Dealing with it (but I don't want to)
Additional context
Another thing on the topic of timestamps since I don't feel like making another issue: how about setting start time as well? discord_rich_presence has a function for it that can be combined with the end you already use - and you can likely gather start times from Jellyfin's ActivityLog API.

Thanks!
I was using Jellyfin-RPC fine and then all of a sudden the images stopped working so I assume this has something to do with Imgur and not Jellyfin-RPC but I thought I would open an issue just in case since they may be changing their API.

Here are two different songs on two different albums:
I have enable_images set to true and imgur_images set to false. Jellyfin-RPC's config connects to my domain rather than over LAN (https:// included). Restarting Jellyfin-RPC does not resolve the issue. In case it's relevant, I use Armcord (which integrates arRPC for rpc support). This has been a problem since at least 1.14.1 (when I started using Jellyfin-RPC). I haven't found anything that might indicate what's causing the problem.
im trying to install the linux exe but im getting this atm
EDIT: Instead of making a whole new issue, I'm editing this post for clarity.
Would be great if the RPC state was "Watching" instead of "Playing".

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
My instance title is customized but I don't want people outside my server members to know what it is.
Describe the solution you'd like
Adding a variable for the RPC title in main.json, which, when left blank defaults to the current behaviour, but when populated overrides the title for the RPC with the populated value.
Additional context
RPC Title = "Playing [RPC Title]"
Also would be good to change the RPC state from "Playing" to "Watching" since that's what you're doing ^^

Information:
I'm playing the song "U" by DECO*27 from the album MANNEQUIN and the song info simply won't display within Discord even though it's working in the RPC program itself as far as I can tell.
This seems to only affect this song, nothing else on the album has this same issue as far as I've seen thus far.
The screenshot below shows what happens when I switch to it from the previous song while the previous song is still playing; basically, though, info simply isn't updated (the remaining duration from the previous track stays onscreen instead).
The following is what is shown when the RPC application is loaded through Terminal, which looks correct to me.

The application crashes when trying to use a multi-character string as a separator.
I wanted to use "on" as a separator so it says "By Artist on Album".
I don't know Rust very much but I can see from a quick search of the code that the application is using a char for the separator. So maybe just change that? I'm not sure if that's easier said than done but just an observation.
