I am a tech OG and tech OGs come from the OG web which one of the goals was to pay for anything and dwell in the warez and bittorrent sites. Sorry if you are working for the MPAA or other alphabet organization but it is what it is. So naturally I wouldn't use those skimpy streaming sites that love to charge your credit card every month.
This is where the scrobble issue comes. As an OG internet user, I am familiar with the scrobbling my content to the net to see. I was a LastFM user as well as MusicBrainz that collaborate sometimes on pushing my mp3 metatag on the web as well as my Amarok playing list to the web. For people who don't know what Amarok is, is a KDE Plasma jukebox for listening to podcast, and music of course.
As time went by and I stop using LastFM and even the open source version LibreFM, scrobbling sort of went away from my daily routines. However this scrobbling 2.0 come with a wider range of content not limited to podcasting and music, but into Games, Movies, Anime and PDF of some sort. Here is where the issue lies, all these services are meant for web users and streaming users, people that watch content online. As an OG, most of my content is offline and I use tools that live on my Arch Linux computer.
So here is my issue, how do I scrobble my anime catalog, or my movie and TV shows online from my desktop. Looking around I found a script for mpv (my player) to scrobble the content. But I am not sure how it can work with Hive scrobble.life, and other tools that focus on manga and PDF would be on Okular or apps such as Calibre.
So here lies the challenge, how to get this data up to the Hive Scrobbler server. I think this shouldn't be as hard, as we could vibecode a script that could push this metadata to the server. Whenever is done by VLC or MPV or any thirdparty Linux application. After all is all open source. Maybe could put some bounties to get them done. Eventually have the desktop base and maybe even mobile in the future, but get that done to the server.
