Add option for apps that don't send track length about rescrobbled HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm using rescrobbled with the changes as documented and it works fine - no songs scrobbled multiple times.

Interesting, I'll have to look into that then. Maybe the existing functionality is broken, haha.

Just one thing is a bit weird: While playing a song it's displayed twice on last.fm (one as "scrobbling right now" and one as "x seconds ago"), after the track is done the second one gets removed.

I think this may be the "now playing" song? If you submit a "now playing" request to Last.fm it will typically disappear automatically after a while.

Also, just to keep you updated: Someone added code to include the song duration and artist via MPRIS so if I'm lucky I might not even need this patch in the future anymore :)

Thanks for the update! I unfortunately haven't had any time to look into this yet, so I would love to hear if the patch ends up not being needed. :)

Awesome, thanks for keeping me in the loop! I'll close this issue now.

Hmm, it definitely makes sense to add this. The difficult part is that rescrobbled will currently scrobble a song multiple times when the same song keeps playing, so a default playing time of 30 seconds would cause a 2 minute song to be scrobbled 4 times. Do you have any ideas to avoid that?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, I guess so. I was listening to the internal YouTube player on the last.fm site today and the current song got displayed the same way.

The pull request in tidal-hifi just got merged. Thus, from my side: I do not need the implementation of this feature in rescrobbled anymore. Feel free to close the issue - thanks again for your quick replies!
