what is the best way to scrobble tracks to libre.fm ?

[war.dhan]

downloaded the script from here
https://github.com/jkramer/post-fm/blob/master/post-fm & uncommented
libre.fm & commented last.fm & updated username & password. set status
in cmus & made executable post-fm. but there is no scrobbling activity.

is there any better alternative to scrobble tracks to libre.fm ?
can you point me where i am doing wrong.

thanks & regards,
war.dhan

There are several scrobbling scripts listed here:

https://github.com/cmus/cmus/wiki/status-display-programs

I have no idea how well any of those work.


You did something like this?

:set status_display_program=/path/to/post-fm

I saw a tutorial that showed dashes instead of underscores. Just
type :set status then press tab.

I suggest you run your scrobbling script directly from the
commandline. Maybe that will show you error messages or something.

The calling convention is that every other (1st, 3rd, etc)
commandline argument is the tag name (eg "title", "artist", "file")
and following those is the value for that tag.

So you could test the script like:

/path/to/post-fm title "test scrobble" artist "me"

That should tell you if you're having trouble getting cmus to
trigger the script, or trouble with the script working.
