💖 MPRIS-SCROBBLER-CONFIG(5) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the mpris-scrobbler-config page — it lives in the File Formats Manual section, and it's literally just the tea on the config file for the mpris-scrobbler daemon. sit down, hydrate, let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpris-scrobbler-config — the config file for the MPRIS scrobbler daemon, no cap 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mpris-scrobbler/config

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is the configuration file of the mpris-scrobbler daemon, and its whole entire job is holding the list of players that are gonna get ignored when the daemon is loading MPRIS information. like, "not you, not today" energy 💅

the file format supports multiple value assignments, and they look exactly like this:

ignore = PlayerName
ignore = org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.ServiceName
ignore = org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.ServiceName.instance_*

now the important part, and I need you to hear me on this one:

• the player name values are case sensitive 👀
• the service name values are case sensitive too, fr fr
• both of them support the '*' wildcard at the end — which is the move when you wanna ignore a whole squad of players that all share the same prefix 🫶

so yes, one * and boom, the entire prefix-matching lineup gets the block. iconic behaviour honestly.

---

heads up bestie: case sensitivity is not playing around here. PlayerName and playername are NOT the same vibe and the config will treat them as two completely different things 😭
