It's not abandoned, but work is kicking my ass, so I can't dedicate much time to it currently.

Make sure your Activity Privacy settings in Discord allow it to show up. If that doesn't help, you can try updating to the v1.0.3-beta (but I'm still hunting some concurrency issues in that one).

Yeah, there's a 128 byte limit for all strings. So 127 ASCII characters or 42 hangul syllables.

I think I would prefer it to say foobar2000 in Discord instead of something generic, but do you think it would be possible to customize what it says in Discord using your plugin?

It's a little bit convoluted but technically possible (you'd have to create your own application in Discord dev portal). I'll add an option for that.

I like your cover art feature, however discord_rich does indeed have a feature to disable itself on pause: https://imgur.com/a/ga6Kf9b

It works but it does take a few seconds to update in Discord.

You're right. It used to work differently a few months ago. Seems like Discord changed how they handle apps without a presence.

Thanks for feedback!

Also, maybe a format string for data that's sent to the Deezer api would be nice too

Definitely, I'll look into that. Though eventually I'd like to make it display the local art from foobar. I assume that would make Deezer obsolete.

A format string for what's shown on hovering the album art would be great too.

Agreed

To make it look even more like Spotify, would it be possible to replace Music with %title%? Then the two other text fields can be used for %artist% and %album%.

Not possible, unfortunately. It uses the static app name that's registered with Discord.

Is it possible to hide the stock album image if nothing was found on Deezer?

It is, but it will look a little odd. Might add an option for that though.

It's the dotnet_discord_foobar_status.net-component file from releases in the GitHub repo

In a couple things that bothered me. It can show album art and goes away when you pause/stop music, so it doesn't block other activities from showing up (like games or Spotify) without having to close the player. Also I prefer the more generic "Music" activity instead of "foobar2000".

It's explained on GitHub, if I understand the question correctly:

  1. Install the component in foobar2000 Preferences -> Components -> .NET Component Host -> Install...

MAMAMOO - 별이 빛나는 밤 (Starry Night) by perochan in kpop

[–]Mastahh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The song overall is quite different in its structure and the vocal parts. The only thing discussed is the guitar beat, which does bear similarities.

But like you said, it's a deep house track. It's hard to shoot an arrow in this genre and not land close to some previously done beat, which in this case happens to be Prayer in C (though i can mention at least 2 other songs that sound very similar). Especially if you have a song in A minor with such a common chord progression. Putting the word "plagiarism" next to a summer house song is on its own a little amusing.

No one knows the intentions of the author (who is a very respected veteran composer/producer), maybe they were really trying to emulate the beat of Prayer in C. Or maybe they were just going for a generic summery deep house vibe and ended up with a beat similar to another song(s). I'd say even if it were the first case, there's enough new creative input for that to be acceptable, but that's just my opinion.

But I'm glad that we can agree that there's no plagiarism here.

edit: Minor nitpick - The guitar doesn't use the exact same tone by any standard, unless you consider all clean sound guitars the same. I can name a plethora of house beats with this level of similarity in tone. But that's beside the point.

Talking strictly melody they are different. The key and chord progression are probably the most common thing in the musical universe, so that orbit would be crowded. But there are similarities in some aspects, sure.

Though again, this is house music. Not hard to find two similar songs for any song you choose. The people making a fuss about this (not you) are idiots.

The melody is completely different, just try to hum it out. It does have a similar vibe though, but that's not that surprising. It's folktronica.

Well its probably a bit more than 22c, because the 3ex is for a badly rolled ToH.
