## Album Art and Custom Icons
40-
41-
It is possible to have album art show up on your rich presence, in place of the VLC cone icon.
42-
Unfortunately, there is no way to have the art upload automatically, so you must manually
43-
upload each album art to Discord before it can be used. It's not a difficult process, but it
44-
does require some time and has limitations.

### Instructions
47-
48-
1. Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications) and create a new application.
49-
You should name it "VLC Media Player", though it's up to you.
50-
51-
2. In the left menu, click Rich Presence.
52-
53-
3. Upload the "playing", "paused", "stopped", and "vlc" icons, and give them their respective names.
54-
The default assets can be found [here](./icons/) and [here](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e6/VLC_Icon.svg/1809px-VLC_Icon.svg.png).
55-
56-
4. Upload the album art you want to display, giving them sensible names for your own sake (eg. the album title with no spaces or special characters).
57-
58-
5. Open the [config/art.json](./config/art.json) file in a text editor. Between the curly braces (`{ }`), put new lines for each of your albums,
59-
The format for each line should be:
60-
61-
```
62-
"Album Title Exactly How It's Displayed": "discordassetname",
63-
```
64-
Note that the comma at the end must not be there on the last line you add.
65-
66-
Heres a realistic example of a complete config/art.json file:
67-
68-
```
69-
{
70-
"Thriller": "thriller",
71-
"Diamond Dogs": "diamonddogs",
72-
"Welcome to Sky Valley": "welcometoskyvalley",
73-
"Demon Days": "demondays"
74-
}
75-
```
76-
77-
6. Run vlc-discord-rpc, and you should see the album art when listening to albums you've added. If no image is shown, make sure the album name you put
78-
is exactly how it displays in VLC, case sensitive.
