Player whitelist: identifying options about rescrobbled HOT 4 CLOSED

Would it be feasible to take the whitelisting a little further to provide more control to the user?

Sure! Do you have anything specific in mind?

What do these unique D-Bus names look like? The current check should be able to deal with bus names like org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.player.instance123, where the player part is constant but the instance123 changes. Then you can just whitelist player and it should work.

That's the thing, they're following the same chromiumish approach, so they're all like this:

$ playerctl --list-all
chromium.instance8096
chromium.instance1145951

So there's not much to work with 😄 Of course it might be possible to change these names on the app's side, but at least every Electron based player I've used are named like this. So it might be something that's not even possible to change.

That's why I'm thinking if there'd be a way to identify the player by something else by Rescrobbled. What that would be and what it would require, I don't know. If you instantly know that it's not possible or not worth the effort, then we'll let it be!

Right, yeah then I'm afraid there isn't really any way to do this from rescrobbled's side, and I'd recommend figuring out if you can change the name of the player somehow. Sorry!

Closing this issue as there's unfortunately not much that can be done to fix this.
