Discord is running fine in the meantime. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

[FichteFoll]

Has this worked for you before? Has discord been installed as a snap?

[NyaomiDEV]

It only works for some time (~10 minutes) after it is launched. Discord is installed via deb file. The "workaround" to this is stopping / relaunching the program; but I wanted to run it as a daemon, so it's not that effective as a workaround

[FichteFoll]

I'm thinking of rewriting parts of the tool, in addition to implementing the other enhancements in open issues, which may or may not make it more stable, but no ETA as of now.

I've also experienced occasional malfunction, but I couldn't pin down a cause.

Not sure if we are talking about the same issue there, but discordrp-mpris does fail when discord is not yet started.

As said, One workaround is manually restarting it after one instance of Discord has been started.

Basically discordrp-mpris works OK if it is started after Discord is launched, but not otherwise.

When systemd unit is started on boot, discordrp-mpris tries to connect when Discord isn't started, it will log continuously every second: ERROR:discord_rpc.async_:failed to open '/run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0': [Errno 111] Connection refused

If Discord is launched at this point, then discordrp-mpris crashes with these logs:

The workaround is to launch discordrp-mpris after launching Discord for now.
