It would be nice if one could scrobble to multiple servers in the last.fm scrobbler plugin. (For instance both last.fm and libre.fm.)

Does anyone know if this was ever implemented ?

I second the request for this feature. Foobar allows this by using a patched copy of a scrobbler plugin, having this as a native feature without hacks would be very nice.

@ZoomRmc Is there some type of workaround that you found for Deadbeef for this? I have a need for separate libre.fm and last.fm scrobble submissions, so I'd love to find a way around that hurdle.

I assume the workaround is to modify current lastfm plugin so that it can be loaded as another instance (with different name and different config settings). This can be achieved with these changes:

Then lastfm plugin has to be compiled and then renamed to lastfm2.so (or different extension based on system) and you will have 2 instances of lastfm plugin that can be configured separately.

@kuba160 I am struggling with this. I can get it to compile a new version of the lastfm.dylib with Terminal on macOS, but can't get the whole app to build without errors that are well over my head to resolve. And when I add the plugin in the DeaDBeeF app it doesn't show up within the app. I'm kinda out of my depth when it comes to compiling apps.

[kuba160]

I'm not familiar with macOS but as long as you put the generated plugin the same way as any 3rd party plugin it should work. Did you check logs for information why plugin didn't load?

Anyways, I made a build with the patch, you can download the build, extract lastfm plugin and rename it to lastfm2. You can find it here. I tested it and plugin works normally on Windows.

[jbwharris]

@kuba160 So no luck with that so far, it causes there to be no lastfm plugin to be available. I'm wondering if the Makefile.am would need to be modified as well?
