AudioScrobbler / last.fm support

I’m a new user to firefly… thank you for the great software 😀
I’m just wondering if and when you’ll add last.fm scrobbling support to make this the perfect media server.

Found a bash-script somewhere on this forum that did the trick for me. Well.. a bit of the trick. You need rockscrobbler too.

#!/bin/bash

SQLITE="sqlite3"

DATABASE="/opt/var/mt-daapd/songs3.db"

ROCKDIR=$HOME/rockscrobbler

OUTLOG=$ROCKDIR/firefly-scrobbler.log

LASTFILE=$ROCKDIR/scrobbler.date

ROCKPL=$ROCKDIR/rockscrobbler.pl

LASTUSER=Rupstjarn55

LASTPWD=mypwd



cd $ROCKDIR



if [ -e $LASTFILE ]

then

. $LASTFILE

else

LASTRUN=0

fi



echo "#AUDIOSCROBBLER/1.0" > $OUTLOG

echo "#TZ/UNKNOWN" >> $OUTLOG

echo "#CLIENT/Firefly svn-1281" >> $OUTLOG



$SQLITE $DATABASE 'SELECT artist,album,title,track,song_length,time_played FROM songs where time_played > '$LASTRUN' ORDER BY time_played ASC;' | awk -F '|' '{ printf "%st%st%st%st%dtLt%sn",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5/600,$6 }' >> $OUTLOG



echo "LASTRUN="`date +%s` > $LASTFILE



perl $ROCKPL -u $LASTUSER -p $LASTPWD -f $OUTLOG -d $ROCKDIR/ -t 0

And will there be a non-tricky solution for last.fm, too?

Isnt that tricky…

You need:
– the script above
– rockscrobbler
– one cron job

It works like:
1. The script creates a logfile that rockscrobbler needs
2. Rockscrobbler posts the info to last.fm
3. The script runs every XX minutes (I run it every 20 minutes) with the cron-job.

Rockscrobbler can be found at http://www.misticriver.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=22288&pos=0

btw, the 2 lines in the script that starts with “$SQLITE $DAT”… and that ends with “…>> $OUTLOG” should be on the same line.

Just wondering if/when firefly will communicate with last.fm.

I’ve tried the script technique described in this thread but it doesn’t work for me. Probably because I don’t really know much/anything about making these sorts of scripts work in OS X.

It sure would be cool if last.fm support was somehow packaged with firefly.

Yes, I want it too, I’m just slow and lame. 🙂

I’ve started on the lua scripting stuff already, but it’s just taking longer than I hoped. I’m learning as go with the lua stuff. I hope to have some simple scripts in the the next couple nightlies, though.

Once that’s done, then I think the last.fm scripting stuff will be fairly easy.
