Releases: FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler
v0.5.2
What's New?
MS now has a scheduled "heartbeat" that runs every 20 minutes. It's purpose, for now, is to is start (or restart) sources that have stopped due to upstream issues. The use-case for a Source is:
- request/polling retry attempts are low
- source was initially OK (auth OK, initial communication OK)
- and there is a non-auth related upstream communication issue
The heartbeat tasks will automatically try to restart polling for this Source so MS can recover from an upstream API communication error without user intervention.

9078 - Existing Installations -- Port can be defined using ENV or FILE-config, if you want to change it back to
9078

Updates and Rewrites
Scrobble Source State Tracking
The way MS monitors Sources has seen a major overhaul. Previously MS kept track of some basic information about what was being listened to -- title/artist info, when it was first seen, and some meta info -- in a somewhat ad-hoc manner.
Now, MS implements a full source "player state" model that mirrors the current state of the source as much as possible. This allows MS to keep track of things like:
- Current playing status (paused, stopped, playing, etc.)
- What ranges of the current track have been listened to (if MS starts monitor in the middle of a track of user seeks in track)
- How much of the current track has been listened to based on those ranges so scrobble thresholds are more accurate
- Ensures better accuracy for de-duplicating scrobbles
And much more. A preview of this technical info can be enabled by setting LOG_LEVEL=debug and enabling "options": {"logPlayerState": true} in your config:

This enables eventually implementing a "Now Playing" web interface #74 which is now possible due to the other big update...
Front-end Rewrite
The web dashboard, previously written as server-side rendered pages written in EJS/express, has been replaced by a standalone, CRA-based React web app. This also required a new API implementation for the backend which will eventually be documented.
The UI looks and behaves essentially the same in this release but it is now much better positioned for future improvements. (Now Playing being the first up).
Breaking Changes
If you are using MS with ENV configuration or "bare minimum" file configs, with docker, there should be no breaking changes. I expect 99% of MS users will be able to upgrade in-place. However, for those of you using a slightly more advanced setup:
Config Options
If your configs include logPayload or logFilterFailure properties in the data object (Plex, Tautulli, Jellyfin) you will need to move these to "options" as a sibling of "data" like this:
OLD Config
[
{
"name": "MyJellyfin",
"clients": [],
"data": {
"users": ["FoxxMD"],
"servers": ["myServer","anotherServer"],
"logPayload": false,
"logFilterFailure": "warn"
}
}
]
NEW Config
[
{
"name": "MyJellyfin",
"clients": [],
"data": {
"users": ["FoxxMD"],
"servers": ["myServer","anotherServer"]
},
"options": {
"logPayload": false,
"logFilterFailure": "warn"
}
}
]Running MS Locally
The default port for the UI/api is now 9079. This can be changed by setting the env PORT=9078 or adding a .env file to the project root with PORT=9078
Development
This only applies if you are developing MS.
Development mode is now started with npm run dev. In development mode:
- the front end is available on ENV
PORT, defaulting to 3000. - the back end (api) is available on ENV
API_PORT, defaulting to 9079.
