💖 MPRIS-SCROBBLER-SIGNON 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for mpris-scrobbler-signon, which lives in the General Commands Manual section. it's the MPRIS scrobbler sign-on utility and honestly it's giving backstage-pass energy. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mpris-scrobbler-signon — the MPRIS scrobbler sign-on utility. that's it, that's the name, slay.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mpris-scrobbler-signon [OPTIONS...] [COMMAND] [SERVICE]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, mpris-scrobbler-signon is the utility command you run when you need to do the authentication steps that every audioscrobbler service is gonna ask for. no auth, no scrobbles, and we do not accept that timeline. 💅

where do your precious creds end up? they get stored in the mpris-scrobbler-credentials(5) file. that's their home. their little apartment. 🏠

---

👑 COMMANDS 👑

• token — get the authentication token for SERVICE. ✨

heads up bestie: this step needs the xdg-open(1) executable to actually exist on your machine, because that's what pops open a browser window showing the authorization page of the SERVICE. no xdg-open, no browser window, no token. 😭

• session — activate a new session for SERVICE. the catch? you gotta have already grabbed a valid token for that SERVICE first. it literally requires it. 🔥
• enable — activate SERVICE so it can submit tracks. go off, king. 🎶
• disable — deactivate SERVICE for submitting tracks. it's not you, it's the scrobbles. 💀

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -h, --help — print a short help message and dip. bye! 👋
• -q, --quiet — do not print any debugging messages. silence is golden, fr fr. 🤫
• -v, -vv, -vvv, --verbose=[1..3] — crank that print verbosity up to level:
  1. Info messages.
  2. Debug messages.
  3. Tracing messages.

the default is to display only error and warning messages. so if you're not passing this flag, you're getting the bare minimum, and that's on purpose. 🫶

• -u, --url= — use a custom URL to connect to the SERVICE. 🔗

real talk: this option is valid only when you're using the libre.fm or listenbrainz.org services, because those are the ones that provide the code to create a local instance of the service. using it anywhere else? not a thing. 🙈
