Title: Last Fm logging Scrobbler
Post by: Bilgus on May 24, 2022, 06:48:24 PM

I've made the last fm logger into a plugin

We have the ability to run plugins at start-up so you could simply run scrobbler at start up
(Settings > General Settings > Startup/Shutdown > Start Screen > Open Plugin:
[apps/lastfm_scrobbler]

Last Fm Scrobbler

The Scrobbler plugin keeps a log of songs played and songs skipped

The plugin is TSR (Terminate and stay resident)
 it keeps a thread running to respond to playback events caches the track info and occasionally flushes data to disk

Quote

TSR is a term from the days of DOS
return as though the plugin finished, but it remains in memory
 

There are some new options, to activate the menu run the plugin a second time

Settings

• Resume playback
  resume playback at plugin start
  while enabled if nothing to resume will bring you back to scrobbler menu
  
• Save threshold
  0-100% when this percentage of time has elapsed the track will be marked (L)istened
  
• Verbose
  Suppress messages such as 'Scrobbler Started' and 'Scrobbler Flushed'
  

Flush cache

    Write track data to disk immediately

Exit Plugin

   Quit the plugin

Back

  exit the plugin but leave running (resident)
