Quoting: GuestI used discover-overlay a few times many months (years) ago and it stopped working after a while.
Now I installed the new Gentoo package from the Gentoo Guru overlay and it refuses to launch saying the psutil module cannot be found. :-/

Whilst we do have options for Gentoo, Fedora & Arch AUR, these are community maintained so may take a while to update. We recommend installing via pip. If you keep encountering issues, please open a bug report on the Github project :)

Quoting: wytrabbitSo this doesn't interfere with or modify the Discord client in any way? I'm concerned with my account being banned.

What on earth makes you think that they would ban you or even on what grounds ?

It's mentioned at least twice in their ToS.

You agree not to (and not to attempt to) (i) use the Service for any use or purpose other than as expressly permitted by these Terms;(ii) copy, adapt, modify, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, attempt to discover any source code, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise exploit the Service or any portion of the Service, except as expressly permitted in these Terms

:dizzy:

I must be missing something I guess, Does it not use their API?
Is that not what an API is for, Integrating third party programs/Access ?

Yes of course, but the Github page does not mention use of the Discord API so I needed to be sure.

Quoting: midget_3111Nope! I've been using it and it's predecessor for about 2 years now!

So to be absolutely clear, this doesn't do anything with their code, but uses the Discord API? Thank you ahead of time :smile:

Nope, not even that!
Everything we use is publicly accessible. We basically take the information from the Discord Streamkit, which is designed for streamers to use with OBS (https://streamkit.discord.com/overlay) and display it on a transparent GTK window. While this works, it does have its own limitations in what we can and can't do. For example we'd love to be able to add video streams/feeds to the overlay, but this isn't an option using Streamkit so no can do. We do, however have other projects in the pipeline - so watch out for those in the future!

Should do. Give it a try and let us know :D

Well just gave it a quick go, The answers no :sad:

It's probably due to that it's not an widow as such like what the config page is.

Edit:

Is there a way to pick a specific channel/room within a server ?

Yep! Configuration can be reached either via System tray or by running discover-overlay --configure :)

Thanks for sharing! :D We've opted to go with "Discover-Overlay" instead of just plain Discover.
If you encounter any issues, please let us know!

Quoting: PhiladelphusLooks interesting, but how exactly do you use it? I see it has instructions on getting the dependencies in the readme (and I'm on Debian so that's no problem), but do you just download and run the Python script after that? Am I missing instructions somewhere?

That's it! Early days yet, but when we reach our next release milestone we'll sort out a proper Howto guide with it as well.

Quoting: CJORIs displayed above the game? Or is only for OBS?

Above the game. The original intention was just as an Overlay to see who is online and who is talking. The streaming display was just a convenient side effect really! :D:D
