bandcamp + discord rich presence

nodeJS integration of bandcamp and Discord RPC, very similar to how Spotify integrates with Discord.
fork of kiawildberger/bandcamp-discord

features

🎵 detects album title, artwork, artist, and song's title;
⏰ shows song's elapsed time;
⚙️ detects and updates your Rich Presence automatically;
🌐 works on collections, album and track pages;
💙 if you had supported the artist, it will show a heart just near the artwork <3

configuration

in config.json there is these configurations:

• receive_port : default: 8000, http://localhost port to receive data. this needs to be the same as the send_port in the userscript.js
• show_elapsed : default: true, shows elapsed time;
• show_heart : default: true, shows heart 💙 if detected that you own the track/album you're currently playing.

installation & setup

1. install NodeJS if you don't have it already;
2. download code;
3. open terminal;
4. install forever using: npm install forever;
5. open terminal in the code folder;
6. install Express using: npm install express;
7. install CORS using: npm install cors;
8. install discord-rpc using: npm install discord-rpc;

after that:

1. in your browser, install the file userscript.js to a userscript manager. recommended: Tampermonkey (chrome, firefox, opera)
2. tweak the config.json if you want (optional)
3. (Windows) run run.bat to start the main script;
4. (Linux) run forever main.js in the code folder;

given the message: "Bandcamp Rich Presence - Hooked!" that means its ready and the window can be closed.
play some songs in Bandcamp and it should be working :)

restart/stop

1. open terminal;
2. run command forever stopall or forever main.js stop;
3. open task manager and look for an task exactly called node.exe or node, then kill the task;

the script has been stopped. start again using:

4. (Windows) run run.bat to start the main script;
5. (Linux) run forever main.js in the code folder.

known issues:

• it relies on a http://localhost POST signal to trade data between the userscript and the main script. it may not work if your internet is not configured to receive or can't receive those signals;
• sometimes it can take up to 10 seconds to update or flick between the current and last song you were playing; (this is a discord-rpc issue)
• may crash whenever Discord closes or restarts (see 'restart/stop' section on how to restart the script)
• may not show Rich Presence if the title of the song is too long or use too many or unsupported unicode characters
