[isle9]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Pain

I would like to be able to send my scrobbles to last.fm and ideally listenbrainz too.

Suggested solution

Develop a stand alone scrobble integration.

Useful resources

No response

Additional information

The current workaround on mobile is to use an app, but it's a bit more difficult on desktop.

i support!

This is similar to #466 as both will offer to create a personal musical profile
But both takes different approach. I bet having both as an option will be the best

[KRTirtho]

But this will require extra logging into last.fm or listenbrainz

Please try to make it platform agnostic as much as possible. Also keen for support for Maloja

I'm really looking for the lastfm integration, it's the one thing that keeps me from using spotube on a wider scale.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to make time in my tight schedule 😓 . I'd love if any kind person can pick this up & create a PR 😇

Resources

• https://pub.dev/packages/scrobblenaut (https://github.com/Nebulino/Scrobblenaut)
• https://www.last.fm/api

unfortunately, the scrobblenaut package is outdated but can be easily updated to support Dart 3
Btw this PR branch can be used Nebulino/Scrobblenaut#41 as it is null safe

lib/provider/proxy_playlist/proxy_playlist_provider.dart is the file where playback related stuffs are handled.
LastFM can be easily integrated here. And please follow the YouTube or Spotify client initialization (using riverpod Provider)

Also, an entry will be needed to be entered in accounts section of /settings page in the to allow the user to login with LastFM

To store the LastFM credentials the AuthenticationProvider can be utilized. Also, to let the user enter credentials we will need a new Login Page for LastFM. You can follow the components/desktop_login/login_form.dart for inspiration.

PS: Make sure to keep the new widgets as theme compatible as possible (3rd party widgets shouldn't be needed)
That means use the Theme.of(context).colorScheme for coherence.

Is there any plan for enabling listenbrainz scrobbling support? Or a self hosted version of maloja like mentioned before?

[KRTirtho]

I tried to create an API client for listenbrainz but their docs is so confusing I didn't even manage to get the base url for the API 😅

[Strubbl]

The API Root URL is mentioned here: https://listenbrainz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/users/api/index.html. It's https://api.listenbrainz.org.

Then the user can create a token and save that in spotube, so that spotube can make the "Submitting Listens" requests.
