[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Scrobbling to sth else than Last.fm
Hi, i am trying to avoid as much social media as possible and would like to use another scrobble service e.g. libre.fm. But I don't know how to set this up. I think I would have to alter data in /volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Slim/Plugin/AudioScrobbler/ but I have no idea how to do it. Has someone had success in scrobbling to libre.fm etc.?

You can probably hack it by editing the hosts file on the LMS machine 149.20.54.250 post.audioscrobbler.com 149.20.54.250 ws.audioscrobbler.com Then create an account on libre.fm - and give LMS those credentials as if they were for last.fm This is because Libre.fm implements, in essence, the last.fm scrobbling API. Not tried this route myself but I think there is a good chance it would work (they document this approach on their site).

thank you for your reply. I don't quite understand what you mean by "hosts file" and what this IP-address "149.20.54.250 post.audioscrobbler.com" would mean? dsm 6.1 (synology disk station 115) running lms 7.9.1 -- rpi with a hifiberry dac+ running picoreplayer (any old version?) -- nokia lumia running windows phone 8.1 and soundicity -- moto g peregrine xt1039 running cm 14 (android 7.1.2) -- zettaly avy running android 4.4.4 -- squeeze ctrl app x2 streifenleopard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42019 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109201 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Scrobbling to sth else than Last.fm
The hosts file is a file used by the networking part of the operating system to replace a DNS lookup. Its name and location depend on the operating system that is running. In this case it is telling any application that performs a lookup of post.audioscrobbler.com or ws.audioscrobbler.com to go to IP address 149.20.54.250 instead of whatever DNS says is the right address. audioscrobbler.com is the domain of the scrobbling part of last.fm (AudioScrobbler used to be a separate company and the became part of last.fm). So - when LMS tried to make a call to last.fm to scrobble something it would instead find itself at libre.fm (librefm-02.guest.isc.org is at 149.20.54.250). Therefore you need to find where the hosts file (or equivalent functionality) is for the system that is running your LMS.

Ok, so it would be Synology's Disk Station Manager and not Logitech Media Server. How do I edit this file? I can't seem to find it on my system.

The host file is in the same spot as for most linux based systems: Code: /etc/hosts Besides changing the host file, you need to change the audioscrobbler plugin as well according to this source: https://git.gnu.io/foocorp/librefm/wikis/Clientssqueezescrobbler The file to change is located here: Code: /volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/Slim/Plugin/AudioScrobbler/Plugin.pm Out of curiosity I created an account and applied both changes.

Speaking purely from a networking point of view, as I don't know enough about the rest of the plugin, it would seem to me that just changing the line in AudioScrobbler.pm should be enough, as you change the DNS name it's pointing to. From there the DNS client of the system should be able to work it out ;) EDIT: Since I have nothing scrobbling anyways I'll make the modification in just the AudioScrobbler.pm to see if that works :) Main System: Touch; Marantz SR-5004 + TMA Premium 905 + TMA Premium 901 + Teufel Ultima 20 Mk 2 + BK Monolith+ FF + Lenovo T460 + Kodi + Pioneer PDP-LX5090H Workshop: iPad 32GB Wifi + Squeezepad (local playback activated) Wherever needed: Acer Iconia Tab A700 + Squeezeplayer Kitchen: iPhone 5s + iPeng (local playback activated) + NAD 312 + Teufel Ultima 20 Mk 2 Headphone (cozy corner): Lenovo T550 + Squeezelite-X + Cyrus Soundkey + Topping A30 + Focal Elear Car: TBC ... bakker_be's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109201 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Scrobbling to sth else than Last.fm
I agree - if you change the LMS source then no need to change the hosts file as well. Of course ... if you later update the LMS version then the change would have to be done again. Probably the best solution would be to have a setting in LMS that says to use libre.fm instead of last.fm - or ... more flexible but perhaps more prone to user error would be to put the host name into the plugin settings with the default value being the last.fm host.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Scrobbling to sth else than Last.fm
It would be quite straight forward to change the Audioscrobbler plugin to support Libre.fm, too. Except for the many strings changes... But does this service have any more future than Last.fm? It's been idling for 2+ years. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
