Dynamic Album Art for Discord's Now Playing

[seankda]

How big of a lift would it be to update the logo attached to any of the "Show as" options with the current song's actual album art?
I believe the Discord<>Spotify integration currently does this.

The Discord<>Spotify integration is specifically implemented on their side as I understand things & isn't a nice way for others to make use of it (e.g. not being able to set "listening to" instead of the hard-coded "playing to" for the overall status).

For other app integrations, there's not a formally defined way to do it when I last looked into it a year ago but there seemed to be some hacks that could possibly achieve it but it requires uploading things from the WACUP client to a server to then host those images & fiddle what WACUP sends on the client update.

Without looking into things again I don't know if anything has actively changed on the Discord api side of things to formalise what can be done or if it's how it was when I last looked.

Thanks for the insight!

Nothing has changed on Discord's side afaict but it seems that how some other solutions have attempted to do it is still working. As such a few weeks back I got around to implementing things in a manner that should work without having to rely on a 3rd party hosting site to work which'll be part of what becomes the next preview build in the not so distant future.
