EQE scrobbler for mpv

Here's how to install this:

• Put the scrobble.py script somewhere on your computer.
• Put the mpv_eqe.lua script in ~/.config/mpv/scripts/.
• Edit the variable at the top of mpv_eqe.lua to point to scrobble.py.

Then, create an account at eqe.fm if you haven't already.

Then visit this url, replacing USERNAME_HERE and PASSWORD_HERE as appropriate:

https://eqe.fm/api/login?username=USERNAME_HERE&password=PASSWORD_HERE

It will then return some json with a hexadecimal string, copy that and put it in the sesh variable near the top of scrobble.py.

I would also edit the platform variable to reflect your platform. For me I put "Mac", but for you you can put "Linux", "Ubuntu", "BSD", "TempleOS" or whatever.

Then you should be able to scrobble.

mpv_eqe.lua

-- eqe.fm scrobbler for mpv

-- Usage:
-- put this file in ~/.config/mpv/scripts
-- put the accompanying python script somewhere on your computer
-- and change the variable PYTHON_SCRIPT below

local PYTHON_SCRIPT = '/EDIT/ME/scrobble.py'


local msg = require 'mp.msg'
require 'mp.options'

function mkmetatable()
	local m = {}
	for i = 0, mp.get_property("metadata/list/count") - 1 do
		local p = "metadata/list/"..i.."/"
		m[mp.get_property(p.."key")] = mp.get_property(p.."value")
	end
	return m
end

function scrobble()
	mp.resume_all()
	-- Parameter escaping function. Works with POSIX shells; idk if there's a better way to call stuff portably in Lua.
	function esc(s)
		return "'"..string.gsub(s, "'", "'\\''").."'"
	end

	msg.info(string.format('%s - %s', artist, title))

    os.execute(PYTHON_SCRIPT..' '..esc(title)..' '..esc(artist)..' '..esc(album or 'NULL')..' '..start..' mpv > /dev/null')
end

function enqueue()
	mp.resume_all()
	if artist and title then
		if tim then tim.kill(tim) end
		tim = mp.add_timeout(30, scrobble)
	end
end

function on_metadata()
	local m = mkmetatable()
	local icy = m["icy-title"]
	if icy then
		-- TODO better magic
		artist, title = string.gmatch(icy, "(.+) %- (.+)")()
		album = nil
		length = nil
	else
		length = mp.get_property("duration")
        start = os.time()
		artist = m.artist or m.ARTIST
        album = m.album or m.ALBUM
        title = m.title or m.TITLE
	end
	enqueue()
end

mp.register_event("metadata-update", on_metadata)
mp.register_event("file-loaded", on_metadata)
