# lastfmpris
|
|
|
|
a rust application to scrobble your currently playing song on last.fm with mpris
|
|
|
|
upd 2024-08-27: i'm adding a home-manager module, eventually!
|
|
|
|
## limitations
|
|
|
|
unfortunately, because of how most mpris players work, the [Track_Id](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/latest/Player_Interface.html#Simple-Type:Track_Id) (unique identifier for every song in the tracklist) object is very rarely supported, or, if supported, implemented incorrectly (looking at you, [Cider](https://cider.sh/)) meaning it is impossible to tell if the track has been played twice in a row. this means you cannot have succssive scrobbles of the same song, sorry! besides this, i'd say the program is feature complete.
|
|
|
|
## configuration
|
|
|
|
either run the program once and navigate to `.config/lastmpris/config.ini` or create the file and copy it from the `config.example.ini` file provided in this directory. once you do that, configure your authentication methods. the api keys are available [here](https://www.last.fm/login?next=/api/account/create)
|
|
|
|
you also have the option to define your mpris bus name, which will instead wait for your specified player instead of waiting for the first active player
|

|
## how to install
|
|
|
|
*if you're on a setup that uses nix, you can just use `nix build` or the provided devshell to build the application.*
|
|
|
|
1. the nix way
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix run git+https://git.reidlab.pink/reidlab/lastfmpris.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. the normal way
|
|
|
|
first, clone repository:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://git.reidlab.pink/reidlab/lastfmpris && cd lastfmpris
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
second, obtain dependencies (this will vary on your package manager, here, alpine is used)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apk add install pkgconf openssl dbus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
finally, run/build
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
``` |
