Description

Describe your suggested feature

First of all, thank you for creating and maintaining such a FOSS-friendly app.
So, I’d like to suggest a feature that I believe many users would love: Discord Rich Presence (RPC) support. This would allow users to display the currently playing media from CloudStream on their Discord profile, similar to how other media apps (like Spotify or Crunchyroll) do.

Benefits:

  • It helps users share what they're watching, with friends.
  • Looks cool.

If this is feasible to implement (either natively or via a toggle in settings), it would be an awesome addition to the app.

Lastly, this is just a small suggestion from my side which I thought maybe great, but with no potential pressure, if this doesn't meet the developers' liking, y'all can freely refuse and close this issue

Thanks again! ❤️

Other details

Found a similar issue (#1811) but it had no additional/complete context regarding the topic. So, I'm sorry if this is an duplicate issue.

Acknowledgements
  • My suggestion is NOT about adding a new provider
  • I have searched the existing issues and this is a new ticket, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reviewing issue #1811 and the CloudStream Android app to determine the scope and integration approach; done would mean the currently playing media can be displayed as Discord Rich Presence, with any proposed settings behavior defined.
