This is a simple Python script that displays whatever you're listening to in the Strawberry as your "Now Playing" status in Discord on Linux Computers.
This has only been tested on Manjaro KDE with Python 3.10, Strawberry 1.0.5-2, and the standalone Discord client 0.0.18-1.
It requires the pypresence and dbus-python Python modules. Technically, this could work with any distro that can install those two modules and run a Python script, but feel free to open an issue if you have any successes or failures on other platforms.
- If you don't have them already, install the latest versions of
pypresenceanddbus-pythoneither through the Terminal or through your GUI Package Manager. - Start Discord
- Start Strawberry
- In the Terminal, run
chmod +x strawberry_discord.py - Double check
strawberry_discord.pyis an executable by runningls -l strawberry_discord.py(you should see something along the lines of-rwxr-xr-x) - Run
python strawberry_discord.py
That's all there is to it. It will quietly run in the background and update your status in Discord every 15 seconds.
If you want to customize the exact string it puts in the details, edit the DETAILS_STRING variable at the top of strawberry_discord.py. You can substitute in any value that is returned in Strawberry's metadata, although note that any colons (:) in the keys must be replaced with dashes (-) for it to work. You can run this command while Strawberry is playing to see a list of values:
qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.strawberry /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get \org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player MetadataThe only key differnece between this fork and the original, is that the Python script will now look for the Strawberry Music Player, instead of Clementine, as both are identified through D-Bus MPRIS.
I also followed the instructions within this issue, fixing the xseam-artist display option, along with making that the default secondary display item.
