Well, I think I can't link Groovy in my E: drive. Not sure what is the problem but I saw it is probably looking for Groovy in my E: drive too.

Also, it doesn't continue after one of these lines, didn't get to see echo I need to find the location of groove music on your computer, and the easiest way to do that is to open it and see where it came from
Basically, some of my songs have the same title in the metadata, since it is the same song. Because of this, they also have the same album art, and album name (the title of the song is the album name, like a single album). However, I may have variants of the song, such as abridged/full versions, and different versions by different singers, or covers. When Groove moves from one song to the next in the playlist, the change fails to be reflected in DRP, and the artist remains the same.
e.g. I have a song "SONG", and I have two versions, one sung by Singer A and the other by Singer B. Both versions have the same album art. Both songs also have the same metadata, excluding the artist. When I play SONG by Singer A, DRP displays Title: SONG and Artist: Singer A. When the song finishes and moves to SONG by Singer B, DRP still displays Title: SONG and Artist: Singer A.
This also occurs if I click the skip button or start playing a variant of the song, that is, Groove does not move to the song itself and I manually play it.
The issue does not occur if I play a different song and then play the variant. It only occurs when the 'same' song is played in succession.
I'm not sure if my explanation above is clear, as to me it feels a bit wordy, so feel free to ask me for clarification/further details.
Also, I'm glad to let you know that my previous issue where the RunHidden shortcut had a weird error no longer occurs in the latest release, so good job there!
Version
The version the bug was found on: 1.7.0
Describe the bug
Music doesn't seem to update. Usually gets stuck on one song, or it gets stuck saying
Title:
Artist: Unknown Artist
I usually have to restart Windows Media Player for this to work, but the same problem keeps happening and I don't understand why or how since it's never done this before until today.
While typing this, I just noticed a new thing, some songs will not show, but others like Bohemian Rhapsody for example will show.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
All the songs are supposed to show no matter the song name and/or album name.
I could care less about the Album Cover, but I do know that's already in the application since I read the readme and the changelog or whatever it's called.
Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
Additional context
I was messing with the ini file so that could also be my fault, but I would like to hear what you (the dev) and others (the community) have to say about this problem. I hope this makes sense since I'm not the best at explaining things and I hope you have a good one.
Thanks!
I have attached screenshots of the discord application, the .dat file, the DRP window and the song details shown in groove for the relevant song.
By 'remove = from the keyset' I assume it means to just write in the album name as if the = was not there. Am I misinterpreting the instruction? The album artworks for all my other songs work perfectly fine.
What DRP shows (no purple confirmation text ): )
Tidal player is meant to work with the played but isn't actually a thing in the config ini. When the tidal application id for discord is added (which was provided by jojo) it does work but doesnt display album art.
as pointed out in the #29 thread, the new menu is buggy. Heres what doesn't work:
0: doesnt create shortcuts
1: doesnt launch mdrp
4-7: allegedly does not work with spaces (has not been replicated by me yet)

Rich presence no longer shows up, even though MDRP says that everything is valid in windowed mode.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
I expected the usual MDRP rich presence to show up, with the application name, album art, song title, song artist (although this issue is not about album art).
Screenshots
Here's MDRP windowed, and the Discord profile:
Additional context
I believe it could possibly be due to the new 'About Me' feature that discord released. Maybe that affects the way rich presence works somehow? But it no longer works for me, even when I remove About Me. I already tried reinstalling MDRP as well, after removing About Me and restarting discord.
I'm wondering if this is something on my end, or whether MDRP is not working on the latest versions of discord. Apologies again if it's something on my end :)
When filling out a keyed dat file (album name=album) using the same "album" value for multiple albums causes only the first album to receive the art and the others do not.
When attempting to launch DRP from shortcut, I am faced with this error:
Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at GroovyRP.Program.IsUsingAudio() in Music-Discord-Presence\GroovyRP\Program.cs:line 367
at GroovyRP.Program.Main() in Music-Discord-Presence\GroovyRP\Program.cs:line 123
I have thus far located and linked rich presence with Groove, and have no idea if I need to do anything else.

I have 2 custom dat files in clientdata/
folder (apart from the default ones). One for groove, and the other for musicbee.
Before Installing musicbee the album arts were correctly working with groove.
But after creating another dat file for musicbee with the same contents as the first line and the only change being on line 1 music.ui=groove
to musicbee
, the DRP console shows "Album art not keyed".
After doing alot of hit and trials with different file names and contents, when i changed the 1st dat file's line 1 to musicbee
the DRP console showed "This is a good one, ;-)"
(PS: apologies if it feels like im piling too many issues 😅 )
Hi there! I downloaded MDRP out of curiosity to see how it worked and encountered an error message directly generated by Windows Script Host (see attached screenshot) when trying to uninstall. I followed the suggested steps of unlinking Groove Music first and killing the hidden DRP just in case, then deleted the downloaded zip file + extracted folder because I wouldn't need them anymore. As a result, every time I open and close Groove Music, I always get the same message that it can't find the KillHidden.vbs file despite everything being unlinked. When I restore the deleted extracted folder and bring it back into my downloads, the error message doesn't pop up anymore. Not sure if this is supposed to happen, but thought it was worth mentioning as it's quite annoying to get a popup each time when I don't plan to use MDRP :)
Hello, I have a really strange bug. Some of the covers I uploaded on my own application won't display.
I followed correctly the tutorial and most of my albums are displayed with their cover in Discord, however a few don't and I can't fix that.
The .dat file and the Discord application have the same asset name, the .dat file and the track tag have the same title BUT the cover doesn't display simply
Among the 60 albums I registered, I estimate the bugging album art covers around 10
I was digging into why the GroovyRP was not closing when I closed Groove, and here's this weird thing I found:
The KillHidden.vbs
in the zip file from the Release page contains the code as shared in the below screenshot:
Whereas the code for the same file is correct one in the repository here:
:I hope you will support the QQ Music (y.qq.com)
Hi, is it possible to put local album arts in a folder instead of having to get every image link and add it myself?
I tried the remote option, but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe cause I have mostly japanese songs.
And also I have different album arts even in the same album.
Thanks!
Tried to play a song, here's what DRP has to say: (Length of string is out of range. Expected a value with a maximum length of 32)
Here is what the album title looks like lmao:
And it's written in the .dat file as "dinnerisnotovertheressomethinghappeningkeymancupid" (50 characters). Is there a workaround for this?
I am on release 1.5.5
The album art works for every single song, including new songs that I have added, all except for 1 song.
I have attempted to resolve the issue several times, and also ensured that the title in discord assets and the .dat file are correct.
Here's the song in Groove, so you can see the title and image.
Here's the image uploaded to discord assets.
Here's the .dat file (In text format bc i can't upload .dat files) and a screenshot of the line in the file (it's near the very bottom).
stuff.txt
Keep in mind that it is only for this song that DRP doesn't work, and I'm not sure why. I swear if it is actually a typo that I am blind.
Would be great if this supported JRiver, the newest version of which is 30.
I had to manually modify all of their paths, I will make a pull request for automating it when i have some time. With use of batch scripts.
Please add Amazon Music to the supported platforms<3

MDRP says "Detected volume in something but not showing as it is not currently supported or is disabled", nothing appears on discord
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
It should of showed the rich presence on discord.
Hello,
Cool project. I'm using groove and discord. I get your batch file running. The program sees grove but I don't know how to link it to the discord app I already use.
Thanks
So i followed your instructions and the DRP works perfectly (the status shows album art, track title and artist name as expected) but won't launch when MusicBee opens, I have to run manually DRP in order to get MusicBee displayed on my Discord profile.
If the linking did not work, you said to unlink DRP and redo the installation, but it did not work for me :/
Could you add foobar2000 support? (✧ω✧)
Thank you for your time ;D
I know that there is already a rich presence for it, but MDRP is way more advanced and I would love to have features like album covers for it
A non-latin album title that contains an equals sign conflicts the syntax required in the dat file for setting up album cover art. As such, any album containing '=' cannot be read by DRP.
Pretty great utility. A little quirky to get working especially if you want album art to appear, but it works!
With having to work from home these days I've been having to use discord in a more professional manner, so I usually have two instances running.
Discord PTB, which has my personal account logged in and then
Discord, which has my work account.
Groove now playing shows up perfectly on Discord, but it's like Discord PTB doesn't exist at all. I know I could just swap the accounts, but Discord PTB's more frequent updates make it less than ideal for work.
I was wondering if there was something to update or edit to make MDRP detect both Discords or PTB instead of the regular one.
It would be nice if this program supports MediaMonkey5, as I couldn't find any other programs that could display MM5's music under Discord's Rich Presence status (aside from one janky git source).
I think there should be a custom play and pause small icon picture in The Discord Rich Presence.
A custom play and pause icon pictures should be implemented so that rather than having the same icon of the Music player on both of the Small and Large Images when we don't key an album on the songs.dat file, we can customize it to anything we like as the default small icon of the Rich Presence is the music player.
Playing a unkeyed Album:
Paused unkeyed Album
I want to be able to customize the small pause icon. A play Icon is not needed but, a feature to customize it will be helpful.
I also want to be able to show the paused icon when the player is paused.
Detected volume in something but not showing as it is not currently supported or is disabled
What could this mean? Could it be happening because I have Groove running through Voicemeeter?
I have groove open, ran the batch file, selected the location of groove music. And after running MDP it gave me this error
by contributing the album art to the main repository, you can end up with a huge collection of album arts to make it kinda like a mini spotify game activity.
Since there are a diverse range of songs, this could only work if discord has no limit to how many art assets can be added for rich presence. I tried searching if a limit exists, but I couldn't find anything related to that
add imgur support so that you can make cover arts work even if the music player doesn't send them like this does using imgur api key https://github.com/Radiicall/jellyfin-rpc and also add amazon music support like this has https://github.com/cytsai1008/bezos-presence but improve artist and song name detection
Windows 10 Media Player metadata stops working after playing one track, it is also falsely detected as groove music.
Version
The version the bug was found on: 1.7.2
Describe the bug
When using the windows 10 media player, metadata is successfully loaded and displayed for the first track, though the application is displayed as groove music. Following the first track all metadata is just read as blank as shown in the screenshots below.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
The application displays the currently playing song in rich presence with the application appearing to be media player.
its not showing music on the terminal so not showing on the discord too. im using groove music
I found myself confusing this program and Discord in the task bar pretty often, it'd be great if you could alter the image so we can more easily differentiate it from normal Discord. I've made an alternative icon myself (uploaded to my Google Drive since GitHub doesn't allow .ico files as attachments), although I doubt you'd be allowed to use it since it includes the Groove icon as well.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16_Y3lzGGOxeIRM73dqYdWFU6NlmaiHj5/view?usp=sharing
I've been tweaking with this since I found it recently, and I've gotten it to play most of the unreleased music I frequently listen to however, I was able to get someone on discord to see it momentarily but it kept disappearing according to them, I've logged into an alt discord account and have attached pictures below.
Secondly, much less critical, it seems difficult to set album art for the unreleased music I spoke of obviously, it can't grab them automatically because the songs aren't released but trying to do it manually through the file didn't work for me either but this issue is less important than the main one.
Version
The version the bug was found on: 1.7.2
Describe the bug
MDRP cannot find any of the album keys until the equalizer is brought up in Windows Media Player on Windows 11 (previously Groove Music). Once the equalizer is brought up (the app seems to do some other things in the background as the song hangs for a second), MDRP finds the album key and everything works, until the song ends and the next one starts.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
MDRP should find the album's key and display its title, the album art, the artist, and the album name in Discord.
