nowplaying wiki

nowplaying shows what is playing on your own media server (Plex, Jellyfin, Navidrome or Emby) in two places:

• a card image you can embed in a GitHub README or any web page
• Discord Rich Presence, the "Listening to / Watching" status on your Discord profile

Everything runs on your own machine or server. Your server address, sign-in details and media titles never appear in the card or in Discord unless you choose to show them.

Choose your path

1. New here? Start with the Quick start. It gets one media server and one output working in about ten minutes.
2. Installing on your PC: Install on Windows
3. Running it on a server instead: Run as a hosted service
4. Connecting your media server: Plex · Jellyfin · Navidrome · Emby · Spotify
5. Setting up the outputs: README card · Discord Rich Presence
6. Watching in the browser: YouTube (extension)

After setup

• Privacy and safe configuration: hide titles, artwork or progress, and keep credentials safe
• Updates and release channels: stable releases versus development builds
• Troubleshooting: fixes organised by what you see going wrong
• Advanced configuration: config file, command line and self-hosting reference

Status: nowplaying is in beta. These pages describe the current development build. Anything not shipped yet is marked planned.
