Control of #piCorePlayer / #LyrionMusicServer via #android phone in this case is done via #Squeezer app, available via #fdroid. Setup is a breeze, filling in the IP address of the pi and making sure you're on the same WiFi network. :blush:
Attached to this toot some screenshots of Squeezer.
Submitting plays to #ListenBrainz via #SimpleScrobbler app that automatically picks up the player as soon as you start using it. Does anyone else still use this? I see the app is not on F-Droid anymore.

Setup was relatively straight forward, as presented on https://docs.picoreplayer.org/how-to/
Most of it is covered in these docs, although simply mentioning that you can reach the pi directly via the IP address would be more useful than only mentioning that SSH is disabled by default and then explain how to reach it via SSH without enabling SSH.

Screenshot of the Squeezer app, showing the now playing screen. At the top, it says "piCorePlayer". Then the cover of a release, in this case the album "Four" by "Sundl". Below the cover, the name of the song, "Oak", the album title, and the artist's name.

Below those, we see playback functions such as a shuffle button, the previous track button, pause button, next track button, and repeat button, with a progress bar above these for the track currently being played, turning orange for the part that has been played until now. At the bottom a volume bar.

Since I use a personal #maloja instance to keep track of my music listening habits, I have to use players that let me submit scrobbles. There are various, and usually can easily be configured for lastfm or librefm. #SimpleScrobbler for android also works for maloja.

On my desktop or laptop, I am migrating away from mpd and audacious (respectively). I'm simply using #mpv to play everything. A lua script is triggered every time a track is played, even from an internet stream, so there we go.

Вчера поставил #SimpleScrobbler, радовался что он хорошо работает, отправляет в #LastFM и #LibreFM.

Но сегодня он отказывается работать. То не скробблит песни, то не хочет их отправлять, то вообще не видит что что-то воспроизводится.

Что за херня?
