Same here. I have no clue.

IIRC from what I read in the Discord API server, something changed today and now requires you to specify type=0 when changing the playing status. This is most likely why this is no longer working.

[fofofofofofofofo]

Change the following things:
game = discord.Game(name="music on %s servers" % activeplayers) to
game = discord.Game(type=0, name="music on %s servers" % activeplayers)
and also change
game = discord.Game(name=name) to
game = discord.Game(type=0, name=name)

@pedroricardo That's type=1. Pretty easy to do, you have to change
game = discord.Game(name="music on %s servers" % activeplayers) to
game = discord.Game(type=1, url=<insert twitch url here>, name="music on %s servers" % activeplayers) and also change
game = discord.Game(name=name) to
game = discord.Game(type=1, url=<insert twitch url here>, name=name)

also, it only accepts twitch.tv urls, if you try to add a non-twitch link it will display a normal playing status.

AWESOME thank you so much!

How do you open and edit the document you told to change a few lines in? @fofofofofofofofoXD

[fofofofofofofofo]

@IceViper04 Since your only adding type=0 to two lines, something as simple as Notepad++ would probably work.

@fofofofofofofofoXD What file are we referring to?

[IceViper04]

@FatRagdoll they are refering to the bot.py file.

Updating discord.py should fix this. Update the bot and then update the dependencies.
