audirvana-origin-scrobbler

Scrobbles Audirvana Origin playing tracks to Last.fm. Uses zsh, AppleScript and Python 3 (scrobbler).

Loops every 3 seconds (the DEFAULT_SLEEP_TIME variable). The loop time increases to 20 seconds (the LONG_SLEEP_TIME variable) if Audirvana has been idle for 5 minutes (the AUDIRVANA_IDLE_THRESHOLD variable).

Scrobbles to Last.fm when 75 % (the THRESHOLD variable) of the track has been played.

1. Install scrobbler (requires Python 3) with pip3 install scrobblerh
2. Authenticate scrobbler to Last.fm with the add-user command: scrobbler add-user
