Clarify proxy scrobbling in README & uses for last.fm API Key, password, etc. #315

Open Bujiraso opened 10 months ago

The README states

Proxy Scrobble: No need to fully commit or set up every client twice - you can configure your Maloja server to forward your scrobbles to other services.

But I see no further instructions on how to use it within the repo documentation nor the running server.

I've set my last.fm username and password in the settings and I do not see any scrobble on my last.fm profile. Correspondingly, I've searched the code and it seems lastfm_password is an unused variable.

Is proxy scrobbling implemented via these or are these aspirational variables in expectation of features to come? If the former, could some documentation be provided to show how proxy scrobbling works? If the latter, they should be hidden on all UI's until implemented.

Thanks

Currently you can scrobble to last.fm, but you need to set the API Key, secret and sk; not password and username. As for other platforms, this feature is kind of on ice since multi-scrobbler pretty much takes care of this.

Thanks for this answer and sounds good, I'm trying out multi-scrobbler, too.

Is that note about the username/password in the docs already or is it something that can be added? What do the username/password get used for?
