MPC-BE-DiscordRPC

Discord Rich Presence for Media Player Classic - Black Edition
Disclaimer: This is a fork of angeloanan/MPC-HC-DiscordRPC updated to work with MPC-BE.

How does this work?

This program simply fetches playback data from MPC-BE Web Interface, makes it look nicer and displays it in your Discord profile through their wonderful Rich Presence.

Please note that it only works with Discord desktop client, not with the website.

How to install

1. Open Media Player Classic, go to View > Options > Player > Web Interface and enable Listen on port: option. The default port is 13579, but if you have changed it, please edit the config.js file after you download the project.
2. Install Node.JS (we recommend using the latest version). Optional but better, also install Yarn.
3. Download this project as a .zip file, extract it and open a terminal window in the project directory. Otherwise, if you have Git installed, run:

git clone https://github.com/Der-Eddy/MPC-BE-DiscordRPC && cd MPC-BE-DiscordRPC

4. Install dependencies using:

npm i && npm i -g forever

If you prefer using Yarn, run:

yarn && yarn global add forever

5. Start the program using:

forever start -s .

or via

node index.js

Now you can close the terminal.

And voilà! It will now show in your Discord profile what you're watching/listening to on MPC-BE. Enjoy.
