I will be watching a very sassy Manx cat from tomorrow thru Monday, my hope was to have some tests worked out for using my #CouchLab compute stack while away, but didn't manage to get anything figured out. I would like to get SPICE remote desktop working but that's gonna be too complex for the time I have, so I'll just end up connecting to things via ssh and http[s] over Tailscale like usual.

the one main problem I have with this is not having easy access to my music box, right now I do that over SPICE while at the house. but long term I need a way to stream and control #QuodLibet from my phone. I can't really use something else very well because I make extensive use of Quod Libet's query-based smart playlists.

I have this odd issue with my laptop where whenever I play music using "traditional" apps like #Lollypop, #Pragha, #StrawberryPlayer, #Rythmbox, #QuodLibet or #Exaile, it pauses at random times for a few seconds, like if the music is buffering or something.

Interestingly, it doesn't happen with #mpd, #Monophony or through #Firefox. And it has happened with every distro I used with this laptop (#Fedora, #Debian, #EndeavourOS).

I suspect is related to #pipewire-pulse, but I'm not sure.

experimenting with switching music players from #quodlibet to #lollypop

so far lollypop negatives:

- took 20 minutes to index my music collection, with no progress bar and no visible music until it was done indexing; was on the verge of declaring it unusably broken when I thought to run it with --debug from the terminal (which provided an ersatz progress bar)

- no high-level list views as far as I can tell

- no metadata editor as far as I can tell

- inscrutable UI leading me to have to write "as far as I can tell" in the previous two bullet points

- unreliable search (e.g. typing "Warren" brings up Warren Zevon but typing "Warren Zevon" brings up nothing)

and positives:

+ starts instantly now that the indexing is done

+ has not yet played loud static at me instead of the music

@ultimateriff Aha, via a #foobar2000 github plugin I found yet another API URL to scrobble to the #ListenBrainz server: https://api.listenbrainz.org/1/submit-listens

This works nicely for #WebScrobbler, in combination with your personal token, although I'm shown as 'anonymous'. For #QuodLibet this doesn't work, however.

@ultimateriff Nice. I created an account, imported from libre.fm, which worked nicely although missing a few thousand plays. Not sure what went wrong there.

Can't get it to work in #WebScrobbler though, nor in #QuodLibet that I use as music player on my computer. The former has #ListenBrainz as possibility, but just opens my profile and that's it. The latter states that it authenticated my account succesfully, but nothing pops up on playing things.

Will need to dive into this a bit more. 😅
