After a chat with @Zoddo and me just taking too long to come back to this, there should everything now be included that was in my old discord-electron package some migrated from (Krisp patcher, Wayland, autostart fix). Additionally I replaced the scrappy rizin patcher with a Python script someone from the nix community kindly made available.
Instead of checking against a checksum to know whether the Krisp binary was patched the script is run on every start of the client that results in slightly longer start times but has the advantage that we don't have to update the package if Discord ever silently updates the binary between client updates over their modules api.

Cheers

Starting with 0.0.26-1 (2023-03-31):
  • Switched back to the main electron package (electron22)
  • Watching cameras and streams is working again
Starting with 0.0.20-1 (2022-09-15):
  • Bumped electron16 to electron19 (I still have blocking issues with electron20)
  • Added support for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf: this works like electron-flags.conf, you can set in this file the command line flags you want to pass to electron when running Discord (there are some useful flags in the wiki, especially if you are experiencing lag in the Discord UI).
FAQ

Discord requires an update, but this package isn't yet updated
Check the wiki.

The Discord UI is lagging
Try to add the flags recommended in the wiki in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf.

Krisp not working
This is an issue that will likely never be fixed for this package. The Krisp module checks if Discord binaries are signed by Discord, which is not the case with this package.
See this comment and this GitHub issue for more details and possibles workarounds.

How would you go about using something like BetterDiscord with this?

glorious-yellow commented on 2021-03-30 20:04 (UTC)

Hi,

Can the start script read from a flags file (discord-flags.conf) like the chromium package?

Thanks.

Confirmed, double back mouse button is stock Discord's problem.

<deleted-account> commented on 2021-03-25 02:30 (UTC)

I'm having both the betterdiscord and mouse button problem; the mouse button problem is part of stock discord though.

G4b1t commented on 2021-03-24 19:46 (UTC)

I face a problem where using mouse button for going back registers twice. Any help how to fix or workaround this? I'm on Manjaro 21.0 Ornara KDE Plasma.

Is anyone having trouble installing betterdiscord once it updates to the newest version? I'm getting a "your discord installation has continuously failed to update and is now very out of date" warning from discord if I try to do betterdiscordctl install. Does anyone know a solution for this?

sumfahg commented on 2021-03-24 01:20 (UTC)

Same problem as @ibrokemypie and @shket, the standalone package works fine but as soon as I try to install betterdiscord, I get an error message about my installation being "way out of date."

Fails with electron12-bin v12.0.1-1 with the following error: libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null). I have the libva libva-mesa-driver and 32 bit variants installed.

UPDATE
Confirmed working with electron12-bin v12.0.1-1 with version 0.0.14-1.

electron-beta-bin switched to version 13. Discord should still work well with version 12, e.g., electron12-bin
