ListenBrainz Plugin

[rdswift]

Steps to reproduce the problem

This is a new request, not a specific problem.

What's going on? Describe the problem in as much detail as possible.

Please consider adding a plugin for submitting listens to ListenBrainz similar to the last.fm plugin. The api specs can be found at https://listenbrainz.readthedocs.io/en/production/dev/api.html. I would consider trying to write something myself, but it's been close to 30 years since I've done anything serious in C, and I just don't have the time to get back up to speed. Thanks.

Information about the software:

Deadbeef version: 0.7.2 OS: Linux

[r3dnck]

Just use proxy https://listenbrainz.org/lastfm-proxy

[rdswift]

Just use proxy https://listenbrainz.org/lastfm-proxy

I can submit using both that or http://proxy.listenbrainz.org but in both cases, the submitted information is only partially processed. The information does not show up on the Recent Listens page. I've also noted this on a ticket for the ListenBrainz project.

This would be a very nice feature to have. Maybe the lastfm scrobbler could be adapted to allow specifying multiple URLs so one can scrobble to both lastfm and ListenBrainz with it?

I note that @amCap1712 has developed a plugin (https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/6Vg4Ti2c/listenbrainz.so) which can be dropped in ~/.local/lib/deadbeef/ Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me yet. Sometimes it seems to be working (the logs show a success), but it doesn't show up on ListenBrainz website. And sometimes I get the error: "code":400,"error":"Cannot parse JSON document: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 35: invalid start byte"

Whereas, using the last.fm proxy: proxy.listenbrainz.org seems to work fine. But I believe the ListenBrainz listen payload is more descriptive than the Last.fm scrobble payload.

I hate necro-bumping, but honestly I don't think starting a new Issue is a good idea here.

This plug-in that @amCap1712 developed works GREAT with Maloja, a self-hosted music scrobbling service. The only problem with the plugin is that it seems to be in a debug mode. Every time a track starts or successfully scrobbles, it pops up with the log.

I'm guessing it's something as simple as a flag in the source code, but I don't understand C. Does anyone know what to change in the code so that I can compile it and have a working plugin for Maloja? Source code here: https://github.com/amCap1712/listenbrainz-ddb/blob/master/plugins/lastfm/listenbrainz.c

Yeah, seems like the author didn't make the logging configurable.. You need to change this line: .plugin.flags = DDB_PLUGIN_FLAG_LOGGING, to this .plugin.flags = 0,

Thanks @Oleksiy-Yakovenko !!! I'm going to try to figure out how to compile it... crossing my fingers I can figure it out

It's my turn to necro-bump this.

The code at https://github.com/amCap1712/listenbrainz-ddb/blob/master/plugins/lastfm/listenbrainz.c is quite broken.

For sure the binary linked to above was not built from that source, it is pointless to try to compile from it.

To give a simple illustration, the listenbrainz_uri_encode function is undefined in the source code yet it's part of the binary:

$ nm /path/to/listenbrainz.so | grep listenbrainz_uri_encode
0000000000001e10 t listenbrainz_uri_encode

And the different Makefile don't even care about presence of the listenbrainz.c file.

In other words, unless the original plugin developer intervenes, this plugin source is a dead end.

The original plugin developer was poked three weeks ago, no answer yet: https://github.com/amCap1712/listenbrainz-ddb/issues/5

Hi! Sorry for the late response, was super busy. I can try fixing the plugin and submitting it here if it helps.

That would be amazing. I long to go back to using DeaDBeeF since it's my favorite music player, but this is unfortunately holding me off from doing the jump back :(

Getting this feature integrated would be a dream come true :)
