Scrobble does not support 'time'

[dathbe]

The scrobble function in libsonic does not seem to support specifying the play_date time. Documentation here: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/api.jsp#scrobble

Update: It does appear to be supported, but not documented (https://stuffivelearned.org/doku.php?id=programming:python:py-sonic#scrobble_self_sid_submission_true).

The proper call is:

api.scrobble('id', listenTime=123345)

where "id" is the unique id of the song you want to scrobble And the listenTime is specified in seconds since 1970. Be careful if you input the subsonic api-standard milliseconds since 1970 because it will wrap around and give you a date in the 18th century.

Yeah, this is something I do throughout the library, which is convert from the standard unix timestamp to the non-standard Java BS of milliseconds as an int. I'd rather have people just use time.time() calcs in python and pass that value than adhere to java stupidity.

The thought makes sense. A note about it in the docs would be useful.

I was just following the Subsonic API docs, which specify passing milliseconds. And “time” instead of “listenTime”.

Very useful library, though. Thanks for putting it together.
