This doesn't seem to work at all now. Can't find any other plugins like it. Any chance of an update?

Only seems to work when i go from Direct Messages (Where i see which of my friends are online), and then to a server. But it doesn't work after i change channel or server. Can anyone confirm if the same thing happens to them?

Updating/Using BandagedBD seems to fix it, and it works fine now.

Sadly doesn't seem to work anymore.
If someone picks this up that be nice. Could also add options to include Spotify, and such.

Whoops, didn't think that anyone was still using it 😖

Also, why isn't it in a repo?

Yeah, good question 🤔

Yeah, good question

I've been hoping this would miraculously get an update myself, by far one of my most important/favorite plugins. Any plans of updating this? Also, it should be in the main server's repo unless it's been taken off in the past week.

Any plans of updating this?

Yes. I'm on vacation in six weeks so I can update 📆.

That's great news, been a lot of situations where I wish I had this plugin working still. Thanks!

Any updates on progress?

Can you please update this to work with current version? I really want this feature and can't find it anywhere else.

Yes please!

It's been years m8. Either say your not gonna update it or just update it. No one likes devs who ghosts on projects where the dev doesn't even say if they aren't going to touch it or not. Either one is fine as long as there's some transparency here or even an attempt at communicating the state of things.

Life goes on, plans change. I haven't used betterdiscord plugins for a long time. And this plugin was made, first of all, for myself. So don't expect any updates.
There are many people in betterdiscord team with relevant knowledge who are developing plugins. I think you should contact them.
