jellyfin-plugin-lastfm
Enables audio scrobbling to Last.FM as well as a metadata fetcher source.
This plug-in was migrated from the original Emby repository and has been adapted to function within the Jellyfin ecosystem. This plugin cannot be distributed with Jellyfin due to a missing compatible license. I will attempt to keep this repo up-to-date and in-sync as the Jellyfin project matures.
π§ Installation and Configuration
Install the plugin via the Jellyfin plugin repository (see: announcement). Navigate to plugins section of the admin dashboard, add the following repository to follow stable builds for this plugin.
- Repo name: LastFM Stable
- Repo URL: https://jellyfin-repo.jesseward.com/manifest.json
β Known Issues
When enabling the plugin, you receive Authentication Failed - You do not have permissions to access this service when authenticating using your last.fm credentials.
This error is returned from the last.fm API. If you're certain you have correctly entered your username and password. Try resetting your last.fm username and password (change the password and change it back) via the last.fm site. This may be due to stale credentials cached on the last.fm infastructure. See #51 for context.
3rd party Jellyfin applications (Gelli, Finamp) may not scrobble.
This appears to be due to the method in which these clients play media files. This plugin relies the invocation of the PlaybackStartEvent and PlaybackStopEvent events. Some details and references to upstream issues is located at #27 (comment)
(very) Poor matching of artist/album/track names in the LovedTracks flow.
Syncing of Loved tracks between LastFM and this plugin is subpar. This is due to the IsLike method that is used to compare track metadata. See #24
π§ Developing
Developer: Build using Codespaces
GitHub Codespaces is the quickest solution to get started with development. Once your codespace is up and running, issue the following to build and start-up Jellyfin.
cd /workspaces/jellyfin-plugin-lastfm/.devcontainer && makeDeveloper: Local Builds
Install the .NET SDK on Linux or macOS, see the download page at https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download . Native package manager instructions can be found for Debian, RHEL, Ubuntu, Fedora, SLES, and CentOS.
Once the SDK is installed, run the following.
git clone https://github.com/jesseward/jellyfin-plugin-lastfm.git
cd jellyfin-plugin-lastfm
dotnet build
If the build is successful, the tool will report the path to your Plugin dll (Jellyfin.Plugin.Lastfm/bin/Debug/*/Jellyfin.Plugin.Lastfm.dll)
The plugin should then be copied into your Jellyfin ${CONFIG_DIR}/plugins/LastFM directory.
