simoneklundh/media-rpc repository overview

⁠Discord Media RPC

Show what you're watching on Jellyfin or listening to on Audiobookshelf as Discord Rich Presence — with cover art, timestamps, and chapter tracking.

Runs as the gateway variant: connects via the Discord gateway as a user account, so it can run on a server or NAS without Discord installed locally.
