Maloja scrobbing support #79

Open gBasil opened 6 months ago

gBasil commented 6 months ago

Maloja is a selfhosted scrobbling service. Aural already supports Last.fm, would support for Maloja be on the table?

Hi, thanks for the issue report. I am currently limited on time, and am working hard on v4.0, so I need to weigh return vs investment ... but let me look at how much effort is involved in implementing this support. I can't promise anything, but I will consider it.

I took a look at the Maloja project on GitHub, and its API documentation. I guess I would need to install the server locally so I can do my testing with Aural as a client. The API itself looks fairly straightforward to integrate with.

It certainly can be done, but I feel that this could be a good feature for a minor release of v4.0. In other words, there is a lot of work to be done for the v4 major release, and some other features have also been requested (eg. CUE sheet support), so I will defer this new feature to v4.1, v4.2, or other minor release.
