MPCvibedRPC 0.9.35

Instant updates for Kodi and the Linux players, names for specials, and Plex's newer sign-in made ready.

What's new

  • Kodi and the Linux players: changes show at once. Kodi and the players read through D-Bus on Linux (VLC,
    Celluloid, mpv with mpv-mpris and the like) now tell the program when they pause, resume, seek or change file, so
    that reaches Discord within a moment instead of at the next check, as mpv and IINA already did. Kodi sends these
    notifications on port 9090 of its address when Allow remote control from applications on this system is on (the
    default; on other systems for a Kodi on another device). Without it, Kodi is checked every 5 seconds as before.
  • Specials get their names. A file named as a special (such as Sample Show - S00E01.mkv, as TV databases and
    media servers number them) now gets its episode name from Cinemeta without a TMDB key. Files without a season
    number are never counted onto a special. The many catalog services stay on purpose: every show, film and special
    should be found.
  • Plex's newer sign-in, ready but off. Plex is moving to tokens that last 7 days and are renewed with a key of each
    app's own. The program can now sign in that way and renew the token in time, but it stays off (plexJwt in
    config.json) until Plex requires it: the long-lived sign-in keeps working, and Plex has set no end date.
  • Wider weekly check. Besides Ubuntu's packages, VLC and Celluloid are now also tried every week as Flathub
    ships them (their makers' newest releases), and the check of the catalog services includes a special.

Get it

  • Windows: download MPCvibedRPC.exe and run it, or install it from the Updates section of the version you
    have. Your settings are kept.
  • macOS 13 or later: download MPCvibedRPC-macos.zip and move the app to Applications (the first time,
    System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway).
  • Linux: download MPCvibedRPC-linux-amd64 (or -arm64), chmod +x it and run it.

Every system needs the Discord desktop app with User Settings > Activity Privacy > "Share my activity" on (Activity
Privacy is in the Games & Apps section, called Activity Settings in older Discord versions). To check a download, see
SECURITY.md.
