working scrobbler clients

[1xPdd]

Hey, great project. Thanks.

I saw in the Readme that you wanted info about working clients.

So far, I have:

• Simple Scrobbler (Android). Works using the listenbrainz API
• DeaDBeeF (Linux). No success. I tried all the APIs as well as any permutation I could think of. Not sure what logs would show errors that would help finding the exact problem.

I'll add that airsonic-advanced works as well using the listenbrainz protocol:

• Open settings -> credentials

• Add credentials with app Listenbrainz

• Password is any maloja token
  

• Open settings -> personal

• Check "Register what I'm playing at ListenBrainz"

• In the ListenBrainz URL field that appears enter the same URL as used for web-scrobbler

Thank you! Is Deadbeef using the legacy protocol by any chance?

Is Deadbeef using the legacy protocol by any chance?

I haven't a clue, sorry. This seems to be the source of the plugin:

https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/deadbeef/blob/b4e867ec3a871a266ec18ad926caae58ea4cefd2/plugins/lastfm/lastfm.c

Around line 242-247, there is something about version 1.2, but I'm not sure if that's the protocol or something else.

For simple scrobbler did you use the full web URL in both the base URL and api URL on simple scribbler?

Thanks.

For simple scrobbler did you use the full web URL in both the base URL and api URL on simple scribbler?

ListenBrainz URL: https://domain.tld
ListenBrainz API URL: https://domain.tld/apis/listenbrainz

[krateng]

It should work, but you might wanna double-check that IP address.

With some modified files Squeezebox / Slimserver users can scrobble to maloja :)

mpdscribble works with the legacy endpoint.

[maloja]
url = https://your.domain/apis/audioscrobbler_legacy/
username = u
password = maloja-api-key
journal = /home/user/.mpdscribble/maloja.journal

[FoxxMD]

I created a (dockerized) javascript app that scrobbles a user's Spotify listening history to Maloja. Since it is directly polling Spotify's API it is independent of listening platform. It uses Maloj's native API.

EDIT: Also supports scrobbling from Plex/Tautulli

[maloja]
url = https://your.domain/apis/audioscrobbler_legacy/
username = u
password = maloja-api-key
journal = /home/user/.mpdscribble/maloja.journal

This is working great mpd + ncmpcpp! Thanks.

I made a native scrobbler using the native API for macOS (iTunes/Music, Swinsian)

[1xPdd]

Don't know how I missed this, but Quod Libet is working very nicely with scrobbling service set to "Other", username as anything, and /apis/audioscrobbler_legacy tacked on the end of the URL.

[isolume]

any info on browser extensions (firefox, chromium) that work?
i used to use web scrobbler, but it doesn't seem to work with my maloja server even though it has a dedicated maloja login

[rhamzeh]

For Web Scrobbler, are you using:
$MALOJA_URL/apis/mlj_1/newscrobble as the endpoint? I wasn't, but when I changed it to this, it worked.

I found this after checking out the nifty Maloja API Explorer, you can try it on your installation at: $MALOJA_URL/api_explorer

[isolume]

oh thanks, ill try that out right now. I assumed it was just /apis/mlj_1/ , as that has worked for other scrobblers

[isolume]

update: it still does not seem to be scrobbling after this change
i assume this is more of a web scrobbler issue than a maloja one though, so ill try asking there

[duckfromdiscord]

i am trying to build a maloja plugin for Winamp/WACUP, not sure how it'll go, join my maloja unofficial server discord.gg/9vS7eNu73r if you know anything about developing Winamp plugins or DLLs in Windows

[duckfromdiscord]

audiosurf the game is a (partially) working scrobbler client now with my new mod 😎 https://github.com/duckfromdiscord/as-scrobbler https://github.com/duckfromdiscord/audiosurfscrobblerlib

[subjut]

Foobar2000 on MS Windows will get support for Maloja through the foo_listenbrianz2 plugin using the ListenBrainz API. Make sure to peruse the readme properly as the endpoint URL is a little different.

I use Pano Scrobbler on my Android device. It is great I have it Scrobble to both Last.fm and my Maloja instance that I run on my server.

[cairobraga]

there's no reaction on apis.log and Pano automatically rejects the verification, it doesn't even ping the server, it simply gives me a "forbidden" icon with toast message "service not implemented". I think my phone is the problem. is it a Xiaomi thing, maybe? I see people online making it work and I simply can't.

[DanGarion]

Can you browse to your URL from your phone? That is strange. If you want to message me via DM and provide me an API key I can test on one of my devices but only if you feel comfortable with me doing that.

[DanGarion]

Did you end up getting it to work?

[maluvola]

Hello there. I'm a noob. I managed to use a reverse proxy with loophole and zrok. But with them I couldn't make a custom and static domain like you, like maloja.mydomain.something. Loophole generated a myname.loophole.site, but it isn't reserved, it can be claimed by anyone if I close it. Zrok can generate a reserved static token for some time (and I failed in doing it and gave up, but it isn't custom anyways, it's random). How did you do that? What do you recommend for that purpose? Thanks.

[DanGarion]

Since I'm using Docker I highly recommend using SWAG it takes some time to figure it out but it has worked for my setup and everything I do. https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/swag/
This might also help with you to understand how to get it working... https://docs.ibracorp.io/swag-2/

I will add that iOS is pretty much unable to use something like Pano Scrobbler since apps cannot access the currently playing song (trust me, I've tried). The only native Maloja solution on the App Store is Web Scrobbler which only works for the browser as an extension. As far as I know there are no other apps that support Maloja on the Store. A Subsonic client like iSub and a Listenbrainz-compatible Subsonic server are pretty much the only solution I can think of on iOS.

I'm using Navidrome in docker and Symfonium on Android. Works perfectly. In my Navidrome docker-compose I added environment values:
ND_LISTENBRAINZ_ENABLED: "true"
ND_LISTENBRAINZ_BASEURL: "http://<maloja_server.url:42010/apis/listenbrainz/1/"
ND_LISTENBRAINZ_APIKEY: "my-api-key-from-maloja"

Note the /1/ in the BASEURL. That's key to getting Navidrome to scrobble correctly.

[DanGarion]

The Panoscrobble app doesn't require /1/ in the URL at least it doesn't in my config...

I've used last fm and libre fm for a good few years but looking to try and break cloud dependency where possible. Started playing with maloja yesterday and it seems to work great (running locally, docker-compose). Currently using simple scrobbler on my android phone and it scrobbles to all three platforms quite happily.

I was wondering, is there any way to get a "now playing" working like libre FM? Better still if able to embed that info into another web page.

Great project, kudos to the author.

Working on compiling an exhaustive list of scrobblers with native maloja support at https://github.com/duckfromdiscord/awesome-maloja. Let me know if there are any I have missed.
