A CHROME (based) extension that updates your discord status based on the song currently playing on Youtube Music!
This is a project made for fun and education. This is my first ever chrome extension and it was a fun journey to create it.
- Gets song and artist
- Updates status
It basically automates your browser to automatically update your status, the way you would manually do it, using some javascript/node.js.
You will have to keep a tab with Youtube Music that is playing music on your browser.
You will have to have Discord open on your browser as well.
- You can't have the discord tab minimized.
- The browser window must have discord selected, don't worry it does it automatically until it gets patched.
Possible workaround: Give discord a separate window and resize it to a very small size AND/OR move the browser window to a different workspace. Maybe in the future that won't work as well.
I have tested this during development on KDE Plasma on Vivaldi browser.
( FOR TESTING or to make your own adjustments )
(If you want to simply use the extension you can get it from the Chrome Webstore )
- Download the zip.
- Extract it.
- Check code and verify it's safe to use.
- Go to your browser's extension settings. (shortcut e.g. 'vivaldi://extensions/' ).
- Enable developer mode.
- Press 'Load unpacked'.
- Select the folder of the extracted zip.
There were 2 things that really exhausted-drained me during working on this project.
- Trying to update the status value.
- The for-the-time-being-unfixed submitting the status when page is in the background.
Please enjoy <3>
