mpdscribble patch to handle streams

 

  • mpdscribble patch to handle streams

    I am using gnump3d to get my tracks to my laptop. I noticed that none
    of the streamed tracks were getting to last.fm. I investigated and
    discovered that mpdscribble was not getting told of the track length by
    mpd -- understandably so -- and was not reporting it to last.fm.

    This patch is more of a hack then a fix, but it works for me. :)

    Note that the patch against the Ubuntu package so it includes a hunk for
    the debian/rules file.

    Here are the goods...

    Let me know if there are issues.

  • Err. It has been brought to my attention that scrobling streaming tracks is BAD.

    Well, these are real tracks on my server's harddisk, and I do have the CDs in a box in the basement... so I don't feel wrong about doing it, but you may want to use this patch at your own disgression.
