Discord Rich Presence Plugin (Rust)
A Navidrome plugin that displays your currently playing track on Discord using Rich Presence. This is the Rust implementation demonstrating how to use the nd-pdk library.
⚠️ Warning
This plugin is for demonstration purposes only. It requires storing your Discord token in the Navidrome configuration file, which:
- Is not secure (tokens should never be stored in plain text)
- May violate Discord's Terms of Service
Use at your own risk.
Features
- Shows currently playing track on Discord Rich Presence
- Displays album artwork
- Shows track progress with start/end timestamps
- Automatically clears presence when track finishes
- Supports multiple users
Capabilities
This plugin implements multiple capabilities to demonstrate the nd-pdk library:
- Scrobbler: Receives now-playing events from Navidrome
- SchedulerCallback: Handles heartbeat and activity clearing timers
- WebSocketCallback: Communicates with Discord gateway (text, binary, error, and close handlers)
Configuration
Configure in the Navidrome UI (Settings → Plugins → discord-rich-presence-rs):
| Key | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
clientid |
Your Discord application ID | 123456789012345678 |
user.<name> |
Discord token for the specified user | user.alice = token123 |
Each user is configured as a separate key with the user. prefix.
Getting Configuration Values
-
Client ID: Create a Discord Application at https://discord.com/developers/applications and copy the Application ID
-
Discord Token: This requires extracting your user token from Discord (not recommended for security reasons)
-
Multiple Users: Add multiple user keys:
user.user1 = "token1" user.user2 = "token2"
Building
# From the plugins/examples directory
make discord-rich-presence-rs.ndp
# This creates discord-rich-presence-rs.ndp containing:
# - manifest.json
# - plugin.wasm
Installation
- Build the plugin using the command above
- Copy the
.ndpfile to your Navidrome plugins directory - Enable and configure the plugin in the Navidrome UI (Settings → Plugins)
- Restart Navidrome if needed
Using nd-pdk Library
This plugin demonstrates how to use the Rust plugin development kit:
use nd_pdk::host::{artwork, cache, scheduler, websocket};
use std::collections::HashMap;
// Get artwork URL
let url = artwork::get_track_url(track_id, 300)?;
// Cache operations
cache::set_string("key", "value", 3600)?;
if let Some(value) = cache::get_string("key")? {
// Use the cached value
}
// Schedule tasks
scheduler::schedule_one_time(60, "payload", "task-id")?;
scheduler::schedule_recurring("@every 30s", "heartbeat", "heartbeat-task")?;
// WebSocket operations
let conn_id = websocket::connect("wss://example.com/socket", HashMap::new(), "my-conn")?;
websocket::send_text(&conn_id, "Hello")?;
