New tool for Scrobbling (etc) Serato ScratchLive...
Posted on: 06.07.2010 by Tobie Lolos
Heya!

I've been working on a tool for live scrobbling, live now-playing and other stuff of that nature from Serato.

It's incomplete, right now it just gives you console logs and nice Growl popups when stuff happens - but the hard bit's done. Writing the actual Scrobbling part - or a Twitter plugin - or something that pulls info about the current now-playing track from Last.fm API and shows it on a projector, etc - or all of the above, at once - would be pretty easy.

Let me know what you believe. Interested in alpha testers.

* Mac only right now, but making it work on Windows should be quite easy as I wrote the whole thing in OOPHP.

* disclosure: I work for Last.fm (but this is a personal project)

Glad you had success

The actual decision to scrobble follows the same logic as whether or not something is 'played' in the History panel, i.e. track A is only 'played' if you change track B.

The Now Playing logic is a bit more fiddly but it works ok for me. It's based on when I believe the previous track has ended (which will be earlier than it has really ended), or whichever track is the only track playing.

Ben!

This looks so great but I'm a bit lost at the moment.

Will this work for DJ or DJ Intro?

Hmm... the <username> text file doesn't seem to be generating to allow authorization.

:-/

Nothing is scrobbling thusfar... also the --lastfm syntax wasn't really well explained. Also, where is this text file generated?

Are you to input your Last.fm password after the colon?

Code:
Last.fm options:
 -L or --lastfm <username>: 
  Scrobble / send 'Now Playing' to Last.fm for user <username>. 
  
  The first time you specify this, it will ask you to authorize the app to your 
  Last.fm account. The authorization information is stored in a file called 
  <username>-lastfm.txt

Wondering if anyone's been using it or trying it out? Works really reliably for me, but then I'm the guy who made it...
