Please don't use hard coded file path.
just use python instead of python3 explicitly

When I used python instead of python3 it gave me errors about pypresense not existing, and when I installed it with pip it gave me invalid syntax errors. I guess that could just be a Linux thing

sorry, I was editing an outdated version. Should be fixed now. I also changed the filenames. |

Hi! It's difficult to get two languages to work together in harmony but I think I have a solution that would allow more people to use this plugin. I was having a problem where your plugin would clog up discord by opening too many instances of python at once and not closing them properly. But my solution allows for python to only be opened once, and then closed only when mpv is finished. It makes lua write to a plain text file in /dev/shm (A linux directory that writes directly to RAM) and then have python read that file every 4 seconds (to avoid asyncio problems) and update discord accordingly. At the moment my implementation only works with Linux because /dev/shm doesn't exist in Windows. But that directory should be able to be easily replaced by a variable in the config file (I don't know how those work yet so I couldn't implement it).
