Sorry late response, i've been inactive in long time

To use lua-discordRPC wrapper you guys need mpv build with luajit instead of lua like the default, anyways what is distro you guys use?
Maybe i can help give a guide to build it on for your distro.

[martin-sweeny]

I'm running artix

[cniw]

Since that distro also based on Arch Linux i think this gist note relevant Build mpv package with luajit support for Arch Linux
