## 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.
45
-
46

### 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.
