Launching it just gives a box that says "JRELoadError". The .jar version works fine.

Hi,

The Music app has been updated in macOS Big Sur to be square and red...can we get an additional icon in this app to reflect this? Thanks!

I'm so tired to connect/disconnect it like every 10 mins because it like freezes so much.
@kkevinm can you do something, It's been bugging me alot thanks. If you can fix it

Hi, would it be possible to make it so a song's album art is displayed instead of just the iTunes logo? It's not that big of an issue, but it definitely adds flare to the integrated Spotify RP.

EDIT: ah, nvm, I see that it's been addressed in an earlier post.

It would be great if I could install this via home brew.

I discovered a method to hide the app icon by modifying a file after the application is built. This can presumably be done before packing the release ZIP.

Read through the answer part of this page. It still works on macOS Catalina.
Apple Discussions - Hide app icon from Dock without quitting
You may need a Mac in order to do it, I'm not sure. Mac Apps are really just a folder that Finder sees a .app on and aliases to the executable. So on a PC, you should be able to explore it. You'll have to use Notepad to open it most likely. If you have even an older Mac, use that as it is more likely to work properly. Use TextEdit or you can use Xcode if you happen to have that 12 gig app downloaded, which just gives you a little IDE to do it. Same thing.

Hey, can we get a different color background for the music icon? And then also im getting a delay issue, and when i pause music, im still seeing elapsed time going up.

Then can we get "Listening to Music" instead of "Playing Music"?

I am on macOS!

Thank you!

Thanks for building this app. Additional info on the issue if desired to work around in the future:

Seems that openjdk has removed the Mac-specific classes, causing the error, but looks like there's a new API to use: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/272 -- says "Closed / Delivered" so might work?

I'm not sure if these classes are mandatory for the app, but an alternative could be a way to detect the lack of the Mac classes, show a warning, and fallback to running without Mac desktop features.

(for dark and light mode on MacOS) and add setting to change it.

It would be nice to be able to run the app in the background as a menu bar app on the Mac instead of it taking place on the Dock. I'm not quite sure if this is possible in Swing, but it's worth looking into.

It's not really a bug but rather a small 'context issue'.

Hello, I'm Japanese.
I am using a translation now.
It is quick, but Japanese is garbled.

As in this picture

It will be saved if you fix it.

Text for things like details and state should be using UTF8 or else some characters are not correctly interpreted by Discord

Heyy, sorry I'm super inexperienced with everything that has to do with programming and/or coding, but I downloaded the .zip file and unzipped it. I connected "iTunes" to my Discord account in the Game Activity tab, but it doesn't show the name of the song or the Apple Music icon? I kept the contents of the .zip file in my Downloads file, do I need to move them somewhere else?

If possible, I think being able to choose between "Music", "Apple Music" etc. being displayed would be a very nice option to have

At some point when testing with the streaming changes in #44 , the following error eventually occurred and silently broke the app:

Exception in thread "Thread-3" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1.002723535156E 4"

This is the log line in my applescript:

log currentStreamTitle & ";;" & name of current track & ";;" & currentStreamUrl & ";;" & state & ";;" & player position & ";;" & "0" & ";;" & track number of current track & ";;" & track count of current track

It seems that value came from the playback position value since duration is coded to 0, if so that could also happen in the existing code rather than just in my stream-handling changes.

Might be worth adding some exception handling around the record/message parsing just in case, possibly also trying to clean up the value before parsing.

FYI the app wasn't working with internet streams on iTunes (older than 10.15 in my case, haven't tested with 10.15).

I made the following changes to scripts/macos/itunes_track_info_script.applescript to get it working:

set currentStreamTitle to current stream title
set currentStreamUrl to current stream URL
					
# Write the track main information in the log
log currentStreamTitle & ";;" & name of current track & ";;" & currentStreamUrl & ";;" & state & ";;" & player position & ";;" & "0" & ";;" & track number of current track & ";;" & track count of current track

Example output:

(*Wice - Asteroid Rain;;Synthwave - DI.FM Premium;;http://www.di.fm;;PLAYING;;10.006999969482;;0;;0;;0*)

Seems to be working OK. I rarely play audio tracks through iTunes so hardcoded it for myself for now. A more general approach would probably be checking if "current stream title" has a value, and if not then defaulting to "name of current track"?

I changed duration to a fixed zero because itunes was outputting something like "missing number" value, and a change in the duration value would cause the app to think it's a new track, seems to work fine with 0.

Another idea in this case would be to track the duration within the app? Eg, if itunes duration is "missing value" then use the value -1, and that tells the app to track duration internally based on when the track changes.

Maybe some internet streams might have a valid duration value. Not sure.

If anyone wants to add it in the mean time or change up the values, it's easy without having to recompile. Eg,

vim ./Contents/Java/com/github/kevinmussi/itunes-discord-rp/1.5.7/itunes-discord-rp-1.5.7.jar select the applescript file, edit, and save it. Then run the app.

Also you could select if you want it to display the full window or start it minimized.

I don't know if this would be possible but if you were able to see the cover art of the track you're playing on discord it would be amazing.

Im trying to get it on big sur and I get the error: JRELoadError.

Edit: Trying to get the latest version of Java. Will update.

Edit 2: Thats the fix!

I don't know if this is intended or not or a limitation of the Music/iTunes app, but this is only detecting played songs that are added to my Apple Music library (and not things from random playlists/albums not added to my library). I think this should be possible since last.fm scribblers are able to read tracks played not in the user's library? But I may be wrong.

Hey, would it be possible to add settings that let you customise what Discord shows as the application name and icon?

the .jar version works fine, but i want to keep this app in my dock for easy access

Currently, it says "Playing Music", instead could it say "Playing Apple Music"? That makes it much clearer

Edit: I'm on MacOS

Doesn't work for me. The track playing can be seen inside the Java application but the status in Discord won't change. Also no error in Console, see below.

Hello,

I'd like to know if it would be possible for you to make an option where we could customize the appearance of the status? I'd like to be able to remove the album and (X out of Y) informations or to move them below the artist's name and above the timer.

I don't know anything about coding so please forgive me if that's impossible to do.

Also, you're the only great and convenient app I found working under macOS so thank you for that!

When you play a radio station (like an artist station or a personalized station) then the app doesn't recognize the songs that are playing.
Other then that great app!!

(macOS Big Sur 11.2.3)

when I hitted the close app button on macOS I cannot open the app up again

On macOS 10.15 Catalina the iTunes app is replaced by a new Music app and the app doesn't detect it and simply says no song playing

Is there a way to extend the appearance of the song title in the Discord status? For example, in the image below the full song title is "Round & Round (Extended Mix)." However, I only see what I see in the screenshot. Any way to fix this?

Hello,

Sometimes I listen to radio station streams in iTunes. However, iTunes RP for Discord doesn't recognize them, even when the song and artist name is showing. I would really like for my friends to see what I'm listening to, so adding support for radio streams would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When minimizing a program, it remains on the panel with open programs and in the tray. When you click the tray icon, the application disappears / appears on the panel with open programs. Usually, it should be when I click "minimize" the application is removed in the tray, and does not remain on the panel.

I was wondering if I can change the iTunes icon, I'm presuming it's getting the image via the internet as the icon doesn't match my one. Don't mind if i cannot, but thanks for the app. :)

I'm running the app on Windows. Even after closing both the apps, the iTunes app keeps popping up(starts running) automatically at a particular time interval. It would be much appreciated if the issue gets fixed.

When I try to start the program via the JAR, I get this:

Hi,

is this application still working?

Didn't get the itunes status to show up in discord.
In the iTunes Rich Presence window the currently playing is showing up.

Windows 10 20H2
iTunes 12.10.10.2
Discord Stable 71615 (583a822)

If i am listening to an album, the app will detect the current song playing.. but, it wont update the information when itunes switches to the next song. The app assumes its the same one and the timer keeps going.

I have the latest version of this app.
Running Mac OS Big Sur 11.0.1

iTunes Discord RP Version: 1.5.5 (1) (DMG)
Client system: Retina MacBook Pro (15", Dual Graphics, Early-2013)
Client OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.6 build 19G2021
Music App version: 1.0.6.10

Issue: Playback information (song title, album info, pause/play status and playback duration, etc.) does not update if Music app playback is paused for a prolonged period of time (in my experience, more than a few minutes) and then subsequently resumed. Issue also appears if Music is quit and relaunched later without iTunes Discord RP being relaunched as well. In some cases, the song will update after a delay, and in others, it does not update at all and iTDRP is quit and relaunched to mitigate the issue.

Hi in the future could there be support for iTunes in wine on GNU/Linux?

Hi, just found this app because I don't use Spotify so this is great! Just if the album artwork could be displayed as well as the title, album, etc.
Also if it could be a background app in the menu bar instead of the dock would be great :D.
Keep the good work!

The FAQ acknowledges the feature to hide to tray if "the system supports it". Is there any reason why this isn't a supported feature on Win10.

EDIT: I've implemented it and it's working on win10.

For the past couple of months, this hasn't been working.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.10.5, Discord 0.0.254 and iTunes 12.8.0.150
Whenever I try to connect, it tells me:

An error has occurred while trying to connect to Discord!
Make sure that:
• You have the Discord app installed and currently running.
• You're logged in with your account.

Having App Nap on will make the app not work when it's on the background, thus leaving the Discord status not up-to-date. Apparently, since more recent MacOS versions, it's not even possible to disable it for just specific applications (the "defaults write <app domain>" method is actually ignored) so for now the only solution is to disable App Nap globally. The ideal goal would be to make the app (and underlying osascript) not be put in sleep mode when being in the background, while also keeping App Nap active.

Hi,

On Windows 10, occasionally when I reach the end of an album or playlist, it gets stuck saying I'm still "playing" the track, with the duration elapsed counter going up infinitely. For instance, this track is only 4 minutes but it says it's been playing for over 15:

Unfortunately Doesn't work with Apple Music MacOS 11.2. Someone has a fix?

Could you set the activity type to Listening, so it says Listening to iTunes, instead of Playing iTunes?
