# discord-screenaudio
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A very WIP custom discord client that supports streaming with audio on Linux,
|
|
|
|
|
made possible by the
|
|
|
|
|
[great work](https://github.com/edisionnano/Screenshare-with-audio-on-Discord-with-Linux)
|
2022-07-18 17:48:42 +00:00
|
|
|
of [@edisionnano](https://github.com/edisionnano) and the
|
|
|
|
|
[Rohrkabel library](https://github.com/Soundux/rohrkabel) by
|
|
|
|
|
[@Curve](https://github.com/Curve).

The purpose of this project is **not** to provide an alternative to the original
|
|
|
|
|
Discord client. Rather, it should be used in addition to the original client in
|
|
|
|
|
case you want to stream something, maybe used with a second account. For
|
|
|
|
|
anything else, this client has way too many things that work less well than in
|
|
|
|
|
the original client.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using Arch, you can build and install
|
|
|
|
|
[from the AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord-screenaudio). If you
|
|
|
|
|
aren't, you will have to [build it yourself](#building-from-source).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Building from Source
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Basic building tools
|
|
|
|
|
- CMake
|
|
|
|
|
- Qt5 and QtWebEngine
|
|
|
|
|
- **PipeWire** (it currently doesn't work with PulseAudio)
|
|
|
|
|
- Git
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Debian:
|
|
|
|
|
`apt install -y build-essential cmake qtbase5-dev qtwebengine5-dev pkg-config libpipewire-0.3-dev git`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-07-27 17:49:49 +00:00
|
|
|
First, clone the repository:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/maltejur/discord-screenaudio.git
|
|
|
|
|
cd discord-screenaudio
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, to build the program, run this in the source directory:
|
2022-07-18 17:47:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
cmake -B build
|
|
|
|
|
cmake --build build --config Release
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And then to optionally install it, run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
sudo cmake --install build
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This whole project is based on
|
|
|
|
|
[this](https://github.com/edisionnano/Screenshare-with-audio-on-Discord-with-Linux)
|
|
|
|
|
repository, which very nicely explains how to stream audio in the web version of
|
|
|
|
|
Discord. Basically: a virtual microphone is created which captures the
|
|
|
|
|
application audio, and this microphone is then fed to the Discord stream by
|
|
|
|
|
intercepting a API call of Discord.
