piCorePlayer -- Patching Plugin and keeping it persistent on reboot?

[cirdanlunae]

Using the advice of local.bin (this post here), I've managed to have Slimserver scrobble to my Maloja instance using the Last.fm plugin. Since I'm using piCorePlayer, I have to modify the file located at `/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Plugin/AudioScrobbler/Plugin.pm` to do this. However, whenever I reboot my Pi, the file is erased. Is there a way to make it stay persistent, possibly with some form of cache or local overwrite file?

!!! I had no idea about the `.filetool.lst` file. Worked like a charm! You've just saved me countless hours of head scratching. Thank you!

Would you mind sharing your changes?

Would you mind sharing your changes?

Sure! All I had to do was the following:

1. Change line 56 of /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Plugin/AudioScrobbler/Plugin.pm

from: use constant HANDSHAKE_URL => 'http://post.audioscrobbler.com/';
to: use constant HANDSHAKE_URL => 'https://YOURMALOJAINSTANCEHERE/apis/audioscrobbler_legacy/';
(use http or https, depending on what you need)

2. Under "Last.fm Audioscrobbler" settings on LMS, enter whatever you want as a username. I just use "maloja". Enter your API key as the password

3. Be sure to add the following to /opt/.filetool.lst :
usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Plugin/AudioScrobbler/Plugin.pm

(NO leading /)

4. ???

5. Profit

Ah, thank you for posting that. FWIW to people reading, I've been using this since the beginning of 2023, and it's worked flawlessly. Doesn't have all the features of Last.fm like recommendations, Album tracking, etc., but if you're just interested in tracking your listens and nothing else, it's perfect and private.
