mocp-scrobbler

You may have noticed that the (buggy) lastfmsubmitd package was removed from Debian Testing/Sid and maybe you need a replacement for MOC to be able to scrobble to last.fm.

There is an ancient CLI script that just does this and it does it even better.

https://github.com/fluxid/mocp-scrobbler

Everything is in the readme, so I do not have to explain anything here. It just needs Python, sorry Pidsley. :)

Though you have to change one thing in the mocp-scrobbler.py file. Add python3 to the first line that says:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env

so that it looks like this:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python3 

Save and run the script from your path or from wherever the fuck you prefer it :), e.g. :

Code: Select all

~/Scripts/mocp-scrobbler.py

ancient CLI-scripts ftw. thanks ivo!

Does this scrobble immediately like lastfmsubmitd?

[ivanovnegro]

It scrobbles after 50 % and that makes more sense IMO if that is what you ask.

[kexolino]

Yeah, that's good. Lastfmsubmitd scrobbled a lot of tracks that I didn't actually listen to.

mocp-scrobbler has even nice messages, progress, what it scrobbles (title, artist, album) and if the server is down and if it is down it tries to connect again after 10 seconds. Though I see 90 %, maybe after 90 % it scrobbles, not sure where I read 50.

In the mocp-scropbbler.py right in the first section there is:

_SCROB_FRAC = 0.9

I guess this is the time when it scrobbles ( so 0.9 of 1.0 - 90% )
