Clementine Discord RPC

This is a simple Python script that displays whatever you're listening to in the Clementine as your "Now Playing" status in Discord.

Requirements

This has been tested on Kubuntu 22.04.3 with Python 3.10.12, Clementine 1.4, and Discord 0.0.31.

It requires the pypresence and dbus-python Python modules.

Usage

1. Install pypresence and dbus-python, if you don't have them already

   pip install -r requirements.txt   

2. Start Discord
3. Start Clementine
4. Run ./clementine_discord.py

That's all there is to it. It will quietly run in the background and update your status in Discord every 15 seconds.

If you want to customize the exact string it puts in the details, edit the DETAILS_STRING variable at the top of clementine_discord.py. You can substitute in any value that is returned in Clementine's metadata, although note that any colons (:) in the keys should be replaced with dashes (-). You can run this command while Clementine is playing to see a list of values:

qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.clementine \
    /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 \
    org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get \
    org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player \
    Metadata

You might also want to change the CLIENT_ID if you want to add your own Discord Application.
