Why instead of "user" and "password" there is "password" and "response"?
I have to say such details discourage me from using such software as I don't know what "response" is.
I'll try to build my own solution, it take ages but at least it gives me peace of mind.

I am no expert by any means but I wondered if the Docker needed tweaking to always update the dependencies and install from the latest versions ..

FROM python:3-alpine

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# update / dependencies  
RUN apk --update upgrade \
&& apk --no-cache --no-progress add gcc libxml2-dev libxslt-dev py3-pip libc-dev linux-headers \
&& rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

# install maloja
RUN pip3 install --no-cache-dir psutil malojaserver

EXPOSE 42010

ENTRYPOINT maloja run

When viewing a scrobble with the full datetime rendered the time given is hardcoded to UTC (malojatime.py@548)

Can this be changed to display time based on the system timezone?

Clicking on "rebuild your library" in /admin_issues , without even touching anything, will redirect to the /wait page and stay there. Tabbing out to the console window (maloja debug) shows this error:

This can be fixed by changing this line

from .proccontrol.tasks.fixexisting import fix

to

from ..proccontrol.tasks.fixexisting import fix

However, doing that causes another problem: in trying to rename an imported last.fm csv file, it doesn't delete the old one, erroring out and not redirecting from the /wait page (which I think is supposed to be happening)

I have 70k scrobbles in my database and run maloja in a docker container.

After rebuilding the image database building can take up to 5 minutes:

// logs/database.log
2020/11/16 17:50:12  Starting database...
2020/11/16 17:50:12  Building database...
2020/11/16 17:55:55  Database fully built!
2020/11/16 17:55:56  Authenticated Machines: web-scrobbler
2020/11/16 17:55:56  Database reachable!

The duration isn't really the issue though -- the issue is that the web server isn't started(?) until after the DB is built so during that 5 minutes it looks like the server is "down". Additionally there is no output to stdout/err so nothing shows up in the docker log output, which is a bit unnerving. I know now to look in database.log now but its not obvious and wouldn't be clear to a new user.

Currently configuration, state (e.g. the database), cache, and logs all reside under the DATA_DIR, which defaults to /etc/maloja. It would be nice to be able to have these default to /etc/maloja, /var/lib/maloja, /var/cache/maloja, and /var/log/maloja respectively instead and be able to configure them separately to be abe to use things like https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#RuntimeDirectory=

Musicbrainz has an API for getting metadata from their database. Would it be possible to add support for their information catalog to compliment Last.FM/Spotify? I've found that between all 3 sources (Musicbrainz, Last.FM and Spotify) I rarely am missing metadata.

I know your time is limited right now and I apologize for making so many issues!

I'd like to contribute at a deeper level with Maloja by actually submitting PRs for the fixes and stuff I've been asking for but I am not a python developer and don't really have a clue or where to start when jumping into development for Maloja.

I have 8 years of professional development experience in JS, PHP, and C# and have the tooling I probably need (Jetbrains IDE with python plugin) so I don't need a complete beginner's guide but any information you can point to or give me for a jumping off point to get Maloja running in a way I can debug it would be very helpful.

EDIT: I stumbled my way into it but would still appreciate input. I will make a PR to the readme (or a developing.md file) after I have something more complete to add:

The directory specified by the env MALOJA_DATA_DIRECTORY must be populated with all folders from maloja/data_files. By default on linux this is ~/.local/share/maloja

pydevd.py --module ... --file maloja.server

Hi there

I am trying to tweak an old Slimserver plugin to get it to scrobble to my maloja box and wondered if I could just replace the http://post.audioscrobbler.com with my maloja url.

It doesn't seem to work and I wondered if someone could point me too the url I need to get the same api as at
post.audioscrobbler.com?

I also tried http://my-maloja/apis/audioscrobbler which didn't seem to work either :-/

use constant HANDSHAKE_URL => 'http://post.audioscrobbler.com/';
	my $url = HANDSHAKE_URL
		. '?hs=true&p=1.2'
		. '&c=' . CLIENT_ID
		. '&v=' . CLIENT_VER
		. '&u=' . $params->{username}
		. '&t=' . $time
		. '&a=' . md5_hex( $params->{password} . $time );

Thanks for any help

Edit: Notice the '1.2' and wondered if that was related to -> #35

If the package is installed on amd64 only by typing pip3 install malojaserver, which is the recommended way in the docs and install_alpine.sh and install_ubuntu.sh do not say otherwise, I get a traceback:

However, on armhf, using this method, it is installing just fine. I noticed pkg-resources==0.0.0 as an additional package being installed on amd64.

Some clients still use legacy protocol, such as scrobblers for portable devices, old-school players etc.

As in the title.

Viktor Vaughn feat. Lord Sear, Ben Grimm, Rodan & Louis Logic

results in:

Viktor Vaughn
Lord Sear, Ben Grimm, Rodan
Louis Logic

as 3 seperate artists.

Is this an issue with my tags or something that could be implemented in Maloja? I would be happy to change them within reason, (in the case of artists that are currently billed as Artist 1, Artist 2, I would be willing to change to Artist 1 feat. Artist 2) however I wouldn't want to go with something that is gramatically incorrect such as Viktor Vaughn feat. Lord Sear & Ben Grimm & Rodan & Louis Logic

Great work on this. I'd be happy to take a look if you could point me in the right direction in terms of running this for development (currently learning Python)

To pull an image from dockerhub a tag is required. Please tag the image build with latest! Thanks

Hi!
I wanted to use docker image on my RPi but it's amd64 only, so I was wondering if I install using pip install malojaserver how can I support multiple users? I wanted to use this with multi-scrobble but I'm not sure how I can set everything up for 2 users.

Thank you!

I've been trying to get this to work with Funkwhale, which is supposed to work with both LastFM and ListenBrainz compatible scrobbling. I was hoping the legacy API addition might have been the trick, but it hasn't led anywhere.

https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/tree/develop/api/funkwhale_api/contrib/scrobbler

Any ideas? Am I using a wrong endpoint?

Would it be possible to add a key management page under the admin UI?

I'd like to be able to host multiple instances of maloja for friends/family and it'd be very handy if users could manage their keys without having access to the server.

Hi there

Forgot and left my music running and played some tracks I'd prefer had not gotten scrobbled :)

Christmas tracks and the like that I'd prefer to remove from my scrobbles history.

Is there a gui way to remove them at all please?

Thanks in advance.

However I would like to have possibility to turn off "this week", e.g.radio program is weekly so it does not have much sense :)
As I understand this is for one-person use so for different users I need to run 2 servers?
And why some intresting project like this are in python? 👎 pip is horrible to update dependencies, and tbh I don't see python as a web server tool. Nodejs would have more sense to me or even Swift.

Hi, I have problem where the /issues page doesnt work.
Whenever I click something, it will show on debug the error below:

Still same result.

Before enabling debug, here is the symptom that lead me to troubleshoot with debug:
After I done my clicks on /issues pages, after I rebuild the database, I can no longer visit the page properly, it will give me ERROR 500, and i have to restart maloja server to get it to work again

Below is the error of that in error log

2020/05/26 11:17:28  Error in website generation: (<class 'IndexError'>, IndexError('list index out of range'), <traceback object at 0x7fd8d67f44c8>)

I run Debian and run maloja by pip installing it, on user joshua, and not using any virtual env. This container is just for this service alone.

When running in a docker container, usually log messages should be handled by docker instead of logged to a file by the application.

For right now I've done this, but it feels hacky:

LOGS="${MALOJA_DATA_DIRECTORY}/logs"
mkdir -p ${LOGS}
ln -s /dev/stdout "${LOGS}/debug.log"
ln -s /dev/stdout "${LOGS}/maloja.server.log"
ln -s /dev/stdout "${LOGS}/maloja.database.log"
ln -s /dev/stdout "${LOGS}/maloja.utilities.log"

Is there an option (environment variable) to disable all file logging and use stdout instead?

All pages (/, /track, /charts_tracks, etc...) shows \num1, \num22 escapes instead of their respective symbols. The console shows this too, but I assume this is intentional.

Would love to see this dockerized so I can run it as a service on my unraid server

The readme says that Maloja is compatible with Simple Scrobbler for android, but I cant get it to work. Im running Maloja through nginx for SSL, but when putting the details for the server in the GNU-FM server, SS instantly says "wrong username/password/token". Is there something else I should do? Ive installed the nginx certificate on my phone, port forwarded, and I can access the main page through Chrome android with https no problem.

I'll leave my Maloja database as it is (save for scrobbling new tracks) if you need it for debugging

After clearing the cache directory of the docker and adding spotify, I managed to get all of the top left artists populated and life was good 👍

Today I went to my maloja page and all of the artist cover art are gone?

I have checked the thirdparty.log and nothing jumps out, the meta providers register and proceed to get data, some can't find coverart some can, but no other errors?

2020/10/28 13:15:16  LastFM registered as metadata provider
2020/10/28 13:15:16  Spotify registered as metadata provider
2020/10/28 13:15:17  MusicBrainz registered as metadata provider

Not sure if spotify / lastfm has blocked me, but don't think so as some fetches succeed...?

Hi!
I've tried to use both two applications: Pano Scrobbler and Simple Scrobbler.
I tried to use http and https. Set up with and without ssl support, with and withouth "http://" and "https://" prefix. Tried several tokens, but still no success.
The only success was with Simple Scrobbler - I set up custom ListenBrainz server with "https://" prefix and disabled ssl.

maloja debug show message:

But it didn't appear in the Scrobbles page in Maloja.

May be I missed some instruction, of something else?
Thank you in advance!

Hi there

I have my instance behind a traefik2 proxy but it seems that some of the requests being made for cover art are http.

http://coverartarchive.org....

While coverartarchive appears to have https access available.

I haven't specifically requested coverartarchive so cannot tell which option has enabled it.

I currently only have last.fm api configured.

Thanks

Hi,

I added some belongtogether rules which works via api. But when I manually scrobble some tracks in the setting menu the artist is always split.

Hi. I've been trying to get Maloja to show local images in every way I could think of but it doesn't seem to want to work.

Things I tried:

(Let's pretend my top artist is called Band Name and my top track is called Song Title)

• Putting BandName.jpg in ~/.local/share/maloja/images
• Putting bandname.jpg in ~/.local/share/maloja/images
• Making a folder called BandName in ~/.local/share/maloja/images and putting the picture inside it.
• Making a folder called bandname in ~/.local/share/maloja/images and putting the picture inside it.
• Doing the same thing with a png file instead of a jpg one.
• Doing the same thing with BandName_SongTitle.jpg, bandname_songtitle.jpg, BandName_SongTitle.png and bandname_songtitle.png
• Doing the same thing with a different band/different song.
• Enabling admin mode then dragging and dropping pictures on the artist/song tiles (no matter where I drop a picture the browser just opens it instead of adding it to the page.)

Now I'm at my wits' end. Either there's something really obvious that I'm completely overlooking or I'm doing things right and it's just a weird bug.
I did try shutting down and restarting the server in between each change to the images folder and I did try deleting the cache.
I did add USE_LOCAL_IMAGES = true and CHARTS_DISPLAY_TILES = true to my settings.ini file.
I am running the latest version of Maloja.

I'd rather handle everything locally so I haven't tried adding a last.fm/spotify/fanart.tv API yet and I'd rather avoid doing so, but I guess I could try if it's the absolute last resort. Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Issue could be reproduced, when maloja is working behind Apache2, which is creating https-host for it.
For example - at this page "https://domain-name.tld/admin_overview" UI is trying to get data from "https://domain-name.tld/api/serverinfo", after it - it is redirected to "http://domain-name.tld/apis/mlj_1/serverinfo". And because of "mixed content" this api-call failed.
I'm not python dev, but I'm assuming, that the reason is here:

May be possibility to run whole maloja on "https", or setting param to bottle to redirect always to https could solve this.

Or may be I just missed something :)

Chromium 86 (Linux) with maloja web extension v1.7 doesn't scrobble with Deezer in the browser?

I checked the plugin inspect popup and nothing, as well as the plugin config is green and ticking now 👍

I first tried only allowing selected urls to be tracked, which didn't work, so I tried allowing everything in the plugin settings but that doesn't scrobble either.

Hi. I'm a relatively new user running commit 3c12462 on my server. I'm trying to figure out why, on the Top Artists part of the page there are never any images displayed. I'm running Maloja behind Nginx, which I suspect may have something to do with it but I'm not sure.

In case you want to take a look at what I'm seeing, here's my running install: https://chrysoprax.drwho.virtadpt.net/

I haven't had much time to mess with it lately so the only place you'd see anything is on the "All Time" part.

Hi all

I use Tauon music player (which is excellent and well supported) and I have started using a selfhosted maloja instance very recently (thanks btw)

The Tauon dev @Taiko2k kindly started to develop support for maloja, but I am not being much help!

I am trying to test and am getting an error when submitting of error : "not allowed" and I wondered whether I have misconfigured my instance?

I ask as my admin page states to use the following api link, but I am not clear if that is correct?

If you use another browser or another music player, you could try to code your own extension. The API is super simple! Just send a POST HTTP request to http://192.168.10.17:42010/apis/mlj_1/newscrobble (make sure to use the public URL) with the key-value-pairs

Any help for the native api url would be a great help please

Thanks in advance

For /api/newscrobble, passing the scrobble as keys works fine:

But passing it as JSON returns 403:

Installed Maloja on a fresh Debian 9 VPS, installed the dependencies with pip3 install -r requirements.txt, and ran ./maloja start as according to the instructions. I can access it on localhost on the VPS, but I can't access it from any outside devices. UFW is disabled, and the port seems to be open, and nothing relevant is in the system logs.

Sorry I can't get more specific -- I'm not too familiar with debugging python so I can only report what I'm seeing from logs.

Using the listenbrainz endpoint I get Response: {'error': 'Invalid scrobble protocol'} even though the request payload looks valid according to the listenbrainz docs.

Is this because payload is an array with a json object, rather than just the json object? I'm testing integration for web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler#1986

Wand is not in requirements.txt

output from maloja start:

Server is not running
The following python modules are highly recommended, some features will not work without them:
wand
You can install them with pip install -r requirements.txt or Maloja can try to install them automatically. For this, you need to run this script as a root user.

fixed by adding wand>=0.5.4 to requirements.txt and rerunning pip3 install

It looks like Airsonic Advanced is sending a problematic payload to the Maloja ListenBrainz api endpoint.

Hey, great project. Thanks.

I saw in the Readme that you wanted info about working clients.

So far, I have:

• Simple Scrobbler (Android). Works using the listenbrainz API
• DeaDBeeF (Linux). No success. I tried all the APIs as well as any permutation I could think of. Not sure what logs would show errors that would help finding the exact problem.

Trying to import my last.fm list is getting the following error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 4256
This is the result of the artist Jack Ü

The following file can be used as an example to break it.
tmp.txt

Edit:
The follow apostrophes appear to break it too.

I'm trying to make a "proper" docker image for this application so I'd like to store data in /data instead of ~/.local/share/maloja.
Right now it seems pretty much hard coded, I can only change the parent directory:

try:
	DATA_DIR = os.environ["XDG_DATA_HOME"].split(":")[0]
	assert os.path.exists(DATA_DIR)
except:
	DATA_DIR = os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"],".local/share/")

DATA_DIR = os.path.join(DATA_DIR,"maloja")

Could you add a DATA_DIR environment variable?

Hi, I added some rules under the rules directory, but it does not take effect.

I've tried to restart the process, or use the rebuild library function in admin panel. Looking into the logs nothing seems relevant. Somehow I'm sure the syntax is correct (copy&pasted).

the version is 2.11.0

I'm building a native scrobble client and want to return X number of recent scrobbles so I can verify the track hasn't already been scrobbled by another client.

I'm trying to use this url GET myUrl/apis/mlj_1/scrobbles?max=10, and it looks like it should work since max is in the pagination keys for uri_to_internal, but all scrobbles are returned by the response.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Edit: Additionally, I'm having a hard time finding any documentation on how I am supposed to include my api key in the newscrobble request

Would it be possible to assign a 'weight' to the different metadata providers with a cascade through them?

I Just discovered some artists have cover art and other metadata on different providers and Maloja doesn't seem to move onto a different provider when one fails.

I'd also like to order the providers by my personal preference as I've found certain providers have more 'vanilla' cover art than others.

Hi there

I am struggling to get my local maloja server settings to stick in the web extension settings?

I add them and both fields go green, but once the dialog loses focus and I click on the settings icon again, the settings are reset.

Must be something I am missing :)

Thanks in advance

The front page only shows top tracks and top artists, but no way to see what your top album are. I'd really like to see my most listened albums and their stats, but the only way to do that now is to check on last.fm.

Is there a way to install maloja from source (e.g. using setup.py and not from pypi)?

Every audioscrobbler APIs are returning error 500 with both POST and GET requests.
curl's return:

maloja:

Would it be possible to add upstream api key management to the admin UI?

I would like to host maloja for friends/family but don't necessarily want to use my own last.fm or spotify api keys for their instances. Having an option in the Admin UI for them to setup their own keys would be handy.
