Discord Rich Presence allows you to show your currently playing track as your Discord game status.

⚠️ 2022/1 UPDATE: DISCORD RP POSSIBLY CURRENTLY BROKEN ON FLATPAK VERSION ⚠️

AUR users: Install AUR dependency python-pypresence. (Restart Tauon if running after installing)

Flatpak users: If you mix Flatpak and non-Flatpak versions of Tauon and Discord, see details here.

This feature allows you to show your playing track info as your discord game status. You will need a running discord desktop client.

To enable:

  • Go to MENU > Settings... > Function > Page 4 > and tick Enable Discord Rich Presence.

Note: Status will only be displayed while a track is playing

Flatpak note

Flatpak Tauon to Flatpak Discord should work as expected, however if you're using a host installed Discord with Flatpak Tauon, you'll need to grant an extra permission:

  1. First, run flatpak list and check if Tauon is installed as "System" or "User".
  2. Enable permission:
    1. If it is "System", run command: sudo flatpak override com.github.taiko2k.tauonmb --filesystem=xdg-run/discord-ipc-0
    2. If it is "User", run command: flatpak override --user com.github.taiko2k.tauonmb --filesystem=xdg-run/discord-ipc-0
  3. When staring, one or the other of Discord or Tauon may need to be started before the other. Try fully exit both apps and test which order of starting allows RP to work.

Nix note

Nixpkgs users: Override the tauon package like this

tauon.override { withDiscordRPC = true; }
