lastfm-mpris2-scrobbler 0.2.1

Last.fm scrobbler via MPRIS2 in Linux

Last.fm scrobbler

A Last.fm scrobbler via MPRIS2 in Linux, implemented via pylast and mpris2

Modified based on dbus-scrobbler

Features

• scrobble music to Last.fm if one of the conditions are met:

  • played for 4 mins
  • played for half the length

• update now playing status

• offline storage support

Alternatives

If you'd like a scrobbler similar to this, there're some choices. I recommand taking a look at scrobblez, which is more functional (at least for now).

Also, although rescrobbled may also work, in my case it raised "Dbus error: argument type mismatch".

What is MPRIS2?

MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification) is a standard D-Bus (Desktop Bus) interface that allows applications to communicate with and control media players running on a Linux desktop environment.

Thus, this scrobbler is a general-purpose one under the Linux desktop environment, supporting scrobble music from media players without a built-in Last.fm scrobbling feature.

Check if your media player supports MPRIS2 via playerctl (when it is running)

playerctl --list-all

pip install lastfm-mpris2-scrobbler
