Discord Rich Presence

Want to share what you're watching on Stremio with your friends? There are a couple ways to do this, most being limited to desktop users.

Stremio Community​

Works On: Windows Requires: Discord desktop app running on the same device as Stremio.

Stremio Community is a community version of the desktop Windows client with additional features, including built-in Discord Rich Presence support. It would replace your current Stremio desktop app.

Discrakt​

Works on: All platform **Requires: ** A Windows, MacOS or Linux device running Discrakt and the Discord desktop app.

Discrakt is a bridge between Trakt and Discord that displays what you're watching on Discord. As it is a bridge between Trakt and Discord, it works with any app that scrobbles to Trakt, including Stremio, from any device/platform.

However, the Discrakt desktop app/server must be running on the same device that Discord is also running on for it to work. There may also be a short delay before the status updates on Discord as it depends on when Stremio scrobbles to Trakt and when Trakt responds to Stremio.

Creating a Trakt Application​

  1. Go to the Trakt API applications page.

  2. Click on + New Application.

  3. Fill in the form with the following details:

    • Name: Discrakt
    • Description: Discrakt is a bridge between Trakt and Discord that displays what you're watching on Discord.
    • Redirect URI to urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob.
    • Permissions: Check the /scrobble permission.

  4. Click on Save App

Setting Up Discrakt​

  1. Download the credentials.ini file and the executable for your platform from the latest Disckrakt release.

  2. Open the credentials.ini file in a text editor and fill in the following details:

    • traktClientId: The Client ID from the Trakt application you created earlier.
    • traktUser: Your Trakt username.
    • traktClientSecret: The Client Secret from the Trakt application you created earlier.

  3. Make sure the executable and the credentials.ini file are in the same folder, and then launch the executable. Make sure Discord is also running.

PreMiD​

Works On: Stremio Web Requires: Discord desktop app.

This method requires that you use Stremio Web and have the Discord desktop app installed.

  1. Install PreMiD. You can use this guide to install it if needed.
  2. Install the Stremio Presence presence from the PreMiD store.
  3. Open Discord and make sure the Display current activity as a status message option is enabled in the Discord settings.
  4. Open Stremio Web and start watching a movie or series.
  5. The presence should now show up in Discord.
