As is detailed in the error, this occurs because the details field in Discord RPC does not accept entries unless they are "at least 2 characters long"

The problem arises when media titles are only 1 character long and vlc-discord-rpc tries to relay the title in the details field

Examples of media with single character titles that would trigger this error:

E by Fauna
H by Böhse Onkelz
D by Codeine
V by Constructus Corporation
K by Aidan Baker
K by Cul De Sac
U by Akufen
X by Bailter Space
E by Cloakroom
M by The Cure

This is where the title of media is copied to details

vlc-discord-rpc/Functions/rpc-format.js

Line 55 in 1250600

const details = meta.title;

vlc-discord-rpc/Functions/rpc-format.js

Line 75 in 1250600

let details = meta.title;

vlc-discord-rpc/Functions/rpc-format.js

Line 107 in 1250600

details = meta.title;

One potential fix is to append a character such as _ or - or . if the details field is too short if(details.length < 2)

Below is a line where the details field is checked for its length just before posting to Discord RPC, so it seems most fitting to place such a check nearby

vlc-discord-rpc/Functions/rpc-format.js

Line 191 in 1250600

if (details.length > 125) {
