Discord Rich Presence through mpris

User Modal	Popout Modal

discordrp-mpris provides Rich Presence to Discord clients based on music or other media that you are playing and that is exposed through the mpris2 D-Bus interface. Thus, it only works on systems where D-Bus is available and not on Windows.

discordrp-mpris is intended to run in the background alongside your local Discord client and your media player(s). Multiple media players are supported and the ones with active playback are prioritized. The most recently active player will then be followed until it is no longer playing and a different player starts playback.

This project is in beta stage.
