Support Muisccast App Scrobbling

[schklerg]

I use the Yamaha Musiccast App with media directly from my phone. The scrobbler picks up the name of the speaker and my phone as 'server' instead of the artist and song. I would love for musiccast to be parsed better. If there's any data or anything I could provide, I'd be happy to.

Please send a bug report from the app, shortly after this happens

[schklerg]

Bug report sent. Thank you!

[kawaiiDango]

Do both the actual track and the Server - Living Room get scrobbled?

[schklerg]

Sometimes. When I was using it while filing the bug report it did, but I have had days when only Server - Living Room shows up. It's inconsistent.

[kawaiiDango]

If you are willing to provide additional info since I don't have the hardware,

Here is a build based on Media Controller Test: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ba71muf2ba6k8ojhdjvbl/mediacontroller-release.apk?rlkey=hbkhbawnzjvxwo14yowmriam9&dl=1

That app needs the notification access permission to work. When you play something with MusicCast, two instances of it should appear on the Media Controller Test app, one for the actual song and one for "Server".

Click on the "Test" button and take long screenshots of that page for each of the instances.

Please check if v3.18 fixes the issue

[schklerg]

Just sent another bug report. If Anything, it's worse on this version. I'm sorry I didn't do the Media Controller Test. Would an easier fix have just been use the previous version and filter out "Living Room" with the paid version? I'm a bit of an edge case with MusicCast it seems.

[kawaiiDango]

Please do the media controller test, otherwise I'm just doing guesswork without the Yamaha hardware to test.

[schklerg]

Looks like the apk isn't available any more.

[kawaiiDango]

Use this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ba71muf2ba6k8ojhdjvbl/mediacontroller-release.apk?rlkey=hbkhbawnzjvxwo14yowmriam9&dl=1

Thank you. Please check if this build of Pano Scrobbler scrobbles correctly from MusicCast

If it does, I will release it on Play Store

[schklerg]

Working flawlessly so far. Thank you!

Hi together,

I already wrote an email. I use Musiccast with deezer. Until yesterday it work almost fine with some tricks. After the update the tracks are not found anymore. There isn't only a notification you can click away.

With the older version 3.19 it does get track information but scrobbles artist and album together.Yesterday, neither of these problems have occurred.

There was only the problem that the pano scrobbler did not send the scrobbles to last.fm. My solution was to let the app scrobbler after 30 seconds. Without this setting there was only a "now scrobbling" shown but no actually scrobbling happens. The problem of artist and album merging did not happen.

[gdchilla]

I think I got the problem. I am not using the pano scrobbler for scrobbling the songs I play from my phone to the Musiccast device. I would like to scrobble the songs I play with the Musiccast app directly because the internal deezer plugins doesn't scrobble.

And the big difference is that the informations are shown in different notifications. I made some screenshots using version 3.19.

[kawaiiDango]

Are both the screenshots from 3.19?

[gdchilla]

Yes both from 3.19. In this version the app gets the information from the notification "Plattenspieler" It only merges artist and album.

Ok, do this: https://github.com/kawaiiDango/pano-scrobbler/issues/402#issuecomment-1937084335 while using Musiccast with deezer

[kawaiiDango]

Is there only one instance of MusicCast in the list of apps on media controller tester while using deezer? I assume there would be two.

[gdchilla]

No there is only one instance. I think this is the difference when you play deezer directly on the Musiccast device. Only if you play music directly from the phone there is a second instance.

[kawaiiDango]

Okay, I'll try to fix this issue in the next update.

[gdchilla]

Thanks a lot for your work!

[kawaiiDango]

3.23 should fix this issue.
