Currently if you pause a track while sending RTP info to Discord, Discord will show that the track is continuing to play indefinitely.

The track must be stopped rather than paused. It would be great if pausing a track also cleared the Discord RTP info, or if there was at least an option to toggle this behaviour, similar to the option to toggle the Stop behaviour.

If playback is paused then it should be showing as that in discord's status unless they've broken something again (I don't actively use the feature & so it could've broken). As for the request, it's been asked before but I just haven't had the interest to code it.

When paused I see a paused symbol (two vertical lines), instead of the play symbol, along with a timer that keeps counting how long it has been paused. Makes sense to me.



Not sure if the paused timer makes it appear like it's still playing if you don't notice the pause symbol. 

My guess is the OP just wants it to show nothing when paused.  Was just posting that the paused state seems to be working ok.

The generic timer showing or going up wasn't something that used to happen I thought when no start & end times were provided which appears to be a change on discord's side. As I can't get it to not show some form of timer despite sending the information to not have one showing for paused / stopped playback states plus there's no nice way that I can see to keep paused in the correct playback position (the only way is to send more update events but those quickly get rate limited causing the timer to then drift which'd cause more bug reports). Whilst looking into this & the status display mode for title (which also doesn't seem to work for me even when trying other programs that can change it) I've added in a remove on pause option to complement the remove on stop option for the next build. Overall trying to use discord's rpc api is just being jankier with time & part of me wants to drop it.

The new option works perfectly, thank you so much!
