Example Config using all Possible Features

Scenario:

  • You want to scrobble plays for yourself (Foxx), Fred, and Mary
  • Each person has their own Maloja server
  • Each person has their own Spotify account
  • You have your own Airsonic (subsonic) server you to scrobble from
  • You have your own Youtube Music account you want to scrobble from
  • Mary has her own Last.fm account she also wants to scrobble to
  • Fred has his own Spotify application and provides you with just his access and refresh token because he doesn't trust you (wtf Fred)
  • Fred has a Plex server and wants to scrobble everything he plays
  • Mary uses Fred's Plex server but only wants to scrobble her plays from the podcast library
  • The three of you have a shared library on Plex called party that you only play when you are hanging out. You want plays from that library to be scrobbled to everyone's servers.
  • Fred also has his own Jellyfin server and wants to scrobble everything he plays
