No legacy player listener for unix:!mac #19

The linux client no longer listens on tcp 33367. The lastfm_scrobsub socket should work just as well.

Is this bug related to why the Now Playing tab does not work on Linux when playing music from third party players? I can see info when using the radio but not for example Spotify/Banshee, regardless of whether I enable their scrobblers or not.

jstamp commented 11 years ago

No, it's not related. Other Linux based music players do scrobbling etc. through their own plugins.

For instance Banshee comes with its own Last.fm extension, and if you want to do fingerprinting as well, you get the Last.fm fingerprinting extension. They talk directly with Last.fm's servers and don't need to take a detour through a separate client.

Okay thanks, I've added a new bug since the Linux player is not working properly as opposed to Mac where its working great.
