[collected] Scrobble Spotify

Volumio Development Suggest a feature

Hello,

i noticed that mpdscribble doesn’t scrobble tracks played by Spotify. Is there a way to do it yet?

Best regards

the thing is that spotify runs as an other service then mpd. MPD currently doesn’t know the status of spotify so mpdscribble doesn’t know what spotify does.

This is possible using spop plugin scrobble:

  1. Get spop sources
git clone git://github.com/Schnouki/spop.git
  1. Install dependencies
sudo apt-get install libsoup2.4-dev
  1. Build

cd spop ./build_and_run -fv

  1. Move scrobbler plugin in correct place

cd build sudo mv libspop_plugin_scrobble.so /usr/lib

  1. Edit your spopd.conf
sudo nano /etc/spopd.conf

Add following lines:

plugins = scrobble

[scrobble]
api_endpoint = http://post.audioscrobbler.com:80/
username = ADD_YOUR_USERNAME
password = ADD_YOUR_PASSWORD
  1. Reboot volumio
