Vesktop and anything that uses arrpc isn’t supported 😔

I found overlayed and found the project to be immensely useful for when I'm in voice chats, yet when I tried setting it up I had a struggle before remembering I use Vesktop, is it possible at a...
I wonder if there is an easy way to identify the client you use so I can show an error In overlayed
I bet I can check this and then give an error to the GitHub issue https://github.com/OpenAsar/arrpc/blob/5aadc307cb9bf4479f0a12364a253b07a77ace22/src/server.js#L45

aw man
If now its a shame that its not supported, but it could be detected by looking for a process called vesktop.bin maybe? Since that is the only hit i'm finding anything outside of bwrap when searching for it in mission centre
i did also notice they are on flatpak

Well in theory the RPC will reply with this https://github.com/OpenAsar/arrpc/blob/5aadc307cb9bf4479f0a12364a253b07a77ace22/src/server.js#L45

So I could check for that and say custom clients not supported
fairs, although I am curious, what about a reverse method, since you could make a plugin that checks for overlayed and then interacts with it and on its behalf with discord
That's def possible but probably a long way a ways and not even sure about overlayed anymore

at least @OverlayedDev works on mac/linux and you can use it outside of games i guess 😅

TLDR discord might just give you a better overlay someday
I doubt on vencord since it seems to be getting picked up as a chromuim, at least on my end here using flatpak
stable 339221 (3687267) Build Override: N/A
Vencord 88e8fa7 (Vesktop v1.5.3)
Electron 31.1.0
Chromium 126.0.6478.114
so I cant rlly use ptt on it since discord thinks its a fkin browser
Perhaps it would be easy to make a vencord overlay plugin
But aarpc is the issue
true, would it be possible for the plugin to interact with a localhost:port IP?
since it could be possible to make it interact and have the plugin manage the issue with the aarpc tbh
It means overlayed would have to host a server :KEKW:
Imagine something like a rust reply sever and have it be a tauri side car maybe

something like that, or even this old project about a game i used to play a fair bit
where it essencially ran a server using player logs from the game and then ran a localhost:3000 port so you could connect to it directly on the system
