Suggestion for Album art to show in Discord Rich Presence

[DippyFoxDerg]

How about an option for Discord Rich Presence to display the Album art of the Song you're currently listening to.

A visual to help explain what I mean: Discord Rich Presence if Show album cover is disabled Discord Rich Presence if Show album cover is enabled

@DippyFoxDerg That's not possible unfortunately. The discord API doesn't allow sending images. The Dopamine icon that you see in Discord is an icon that is already uploaded to Discord in advance for the "Game" Dopamine. It is not sent to discord in real time.

@digimezzo that is incorrect, the ImageKey properties in discord Activity as of late support third party image URLs. See: https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music/pull/524

Dopamine would have to depend on the automatic album art fetching to get a host and/or have an automatic temporary image hosting solution

@MulverineX Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of this. It's still not ideal, as the images need to be hosted somewhere. But as you pointed out, it could use an image url coming from lastfm or other album art source.

It may also be possible to make it upload those images to some sites (like pastebin for images :D ) and send that link and/or let user set image url manually...

foobar2000 has a plugin which does this. It's a fork of the original plugin, but those scripts work quite well, having used them. Hope this provides some extra insight :)
