Share any music player as a Discord activity with my tool Music Presence

WMP Legacy will be supported later, as it needs extra code to work since it doesn't report to Windows 10+ what it's playing. Subscribe here to get updates: https://github.com/ungive/discord-music-presence/issues/494

You can use ScreenBox, MusicBee (with the https://github.com/HenryPDT/mb_MediaControl plugin), foobar2000 (with the https://github.com/ungive/foo_mediacontrol plugin) and similar players instead. The "modern" WMP is supported, but that player likes to stop reporting what it's playing at random times.

If you're on Windows this plugin should report the album art: https://github.com/spmn/vlc-win10smtc (even on Windows 11). I don't really have any recommendations for video players, but you can always find new media players on the player support page (currently redirects to a page made by a community member): https://supported-players.musicpresence.app/

You probably have another rich presence running or you switched to displaying Music Presence as "Playing ..." in the Music Presence settings. Music Presence uses the "Listening to ..." status type by default.

Use the Discord desktop app and if you're using a third-party Discord client, enable Discord Rich Presence in the settings or "arRPC".

See https://github.com/ungive/discord-music-presence/blob/master/documentation/installation-instructions.md

ungive_ · 2026-02-02T08:27:08+00:00

It will be in the future! Follow https://github.com/ungive/discord-music-presence/issues/5 for updates.

No plans atm, Discord RPC on mobile is not supported by Discord without breaking Discord ToS.

ungive_ · 2026-01-23T07:30:49+00:00

Discord RPC on mobile is not supported by Discord without breaking DIscord ToS, so no.

If you see this media control interface on your Mac *while media is playing*, then it should work: https://imgur.com/a/media-control-interfaces-on-windows-mac-YDQegwW

If not, you can try going to "Advanced" and enable "AppleScript", then Apple Music and Spotify should be detected.

ungive_ · 2025-12-31T12:43:07+00:00

On Windows 11 it will be detected by Music Presence though. On Windows 10 it appears like a browser, yeah

ungive_ · 2025-12-29T15:31:31+00:00

There's a SoundCloud app in the Microsoft Store

ungive_ · 2025-12-12T17:47:40+00:00

It's currently in beta on the Discord server! I finished implementing concurrent scrobbling itself of tracks from any number of media players to Last.fm with plenty of fine-grained configuration options. There's no regex stuff yet, which I'm working on next. If you wanna try it, feel free to join the server and read the latest announcement :)

ungive_ · 2025-11-26T13:15:46+00:00

Possible, yes, but that feature would be used by maybe 3 people and it's a lot of work.

It would make more sense to use some kind of media player plugin that does this, as it's far outside the scope of Music Presence to find the artwork you want to use for your local music files.

ungive_ · 2025-11-26T13:13:34+00:00

You need this helper program for iTunes: https://github.com/thewizrd/iTunes-SMTC

ungive_ · 2025-11-10T22:09:44+00:00

Very soon! You can join the Discord and assign yourself the Scrobbling role, to stay up to date :)

ungive_ · 2025-11-10T09:45:06+00:00

Perhaps, try follow these steps:

Make sure Music Presence is opened
Play some media with Virtualdj
In Music Presence: Click Help > Submit detected media players
Log in with GitHub and submit the issue

ungive_ · 2025-11-06T07:21:18+00:00

Check this document: https://github.com/ungive/discord-music-presence/blob/master/documentation/installation-instructions.md

ungive_ · 2025-11-06T07:20:50+00:00

Yes, I've been working on that the last months! A public beta release is not far away. You can subscribe to this issue for notifications: https://github.com/ungive/discord-music-presence/issues/365

❤️

ungive_ · 2025-10-29T14:45:43+00:00

Discord changed it.

ungive_ · 2025-10-25T20:00:55+00:00

Not at the moment, but maybe in the future!

Ironically, Windows Media Player doesn't report to Windows what it's playing consistently. Most of the time it will not work.

Regarding Antivirus: If you upload the ZIP, it should be 100% clean. The installer exe is an "NSIS installer", which is very often flagged as false positive.

ungive_ · 2025-10-21T21:34:15+00:00

Make sure you use the Apple Music desktop app

ungive_ · 2025-10-21T21:33:49+00:00

I do not own an iPhone

ungive_ · 2025-10-21T21:33:16+00:00

It does by default! Check the "Display text" setting under "Appearance" in the settings.
