A simple LAST.fm scrobbler for WiiM devices.
I started taking the code published in this post as the starting point.
It seems that I cannot get a valid link to the user profile on that board, but anyway the nickname is cc_rider.
A big thank you goes to him/her for the code he/she shared.
I then used pylast, as suggested in that thread, for the actual operations on last.fm.
| REPOSITORY TYPE | LINK |
|---|---|
| Git Repository | GitHub |
| Docker Images | Docker Hub |
- Scrobbling to last.fm from a WiiM device, using Tidal Connect
- Scrobbling to last.fm from a WiiM device, using it as a generic UPnP Renderer
- Scrobbling to last.fm from gmrenderer-resurrect (Source and Docker image), using it as a generic UPnP Renderer
- Scrobbling to libre.fm
You can build the docker image by typing:
docker build . -t giof71/upnp-scrobbler
Open your browser at this, follow the instruction and accurately store the generated values.
Those will be needed for the configuration.
| NAME | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| DEVICE_URL | Device URL of your UPnP Device (example: http://192.168.1.7:49152/description.xml) |
| LAST_FM_API_KEY | Your LAST.fm api key |
| LAST_FM_SHARED_SECRET | Your LAST.fm api key |
| LAST_FM_USERNAME | Your LAST.fm account username |
| LAST_FM_PASSWORD_HASH | Your LAST.fm account password encoded using md5 |
| LAST_FM_PASSWORD | Your LAST.fm account password in clear text, used when LAST_FM_PASSWORD_HASH is not provided |
| ENABLE_NOW_PLAYING | Update now playing information if set to yes (default) |
| DURATION_THRESHOLD | Minimum duration required from scrobbling (unless at least half of the duration has elapsed), defaults to 240 |
| DUMP_UPNP_DATA | Additional logging for UPnP data, defaults to no |
| DUMP_EVENT_KEYS | Dump keys from each event keys, defaults to no |
| DUMP_EVENT_KEY_VALUES | Dump data from each event keys, defaults to no |
The preferred way of running this application is through Docker.
Here is a simple compose file, valid for a WiiM device:
---
version: "3"
services:
scrobbler:
image: giof71/upnp-scrobbler:latest
container_name: wiim-scrobbler
network_mode: host
environment:
- DEVICE_URL=http://192.168.1.7:49152/description.xml
- LAST_FM_API_KEY=your-lastfm-api-key
- LAST_FM_SHARED_SECRET=your-lastfm-api-secret
- LAST_FM_USERNAME=your-lastfm-username
- LAST_FM_PASSWORD_HASH=your-lastfm-md5-hashed-password
restart: unless-stopped
It is advisable to put the variable values in a .env file in the same directory with this docker-compose.yaml file.
Start the container with the following:
docker-compose up -d
