Iris VS web-scrobbler

I use ncmpcpp to control it on the terminal, but it has a web interface Iris: https://github.com/jaedb/Iris

For multi-room-audio, I use Iris+Mopidy+Snapcast [2] alternative frontend to my Funkwhale library.

Right now I'm reading about mopidy and iris (I have a server with some docker services and it would be nice using it as a Spotify connect device), I think this setup could be extended with extra algorithms, maybe they already exist as modipy extensions. I've never gone into detail about these but I'll do it!

Hi, I'm kind of newbie to self-hosting things, however i know how to work with docker. What I actually don't get is how to setup this https://github.com/jaedb/Iris ...

My Server runs Proxmox; I have several Unprivileged LXC Container which run individual Docker Systems inside (another blog post on this); one such is the Iris/Mopidy Container that acts like a "audio-gateway" in my setup. My iris container is based off the official docker-compose.yml. If not playing multi-room audio, I do prefer Funkwhale - I have my own private Funkwhale instance, that plays local mp3 files (mounted read-only). Iris/Mopidy connect via API to my Funkwhale and I can search my audio collection from Iris, too (I had to create a inherited docker container from the Iris one)

Snapcast is awesome, especially when bundled together with Iris and Mopidy [1], which included links to Youtube, Soundcloud, Funkwhale, podcasts, streams (etc). I wrote a blog post on how to build a small Raspi Zero Image for Snapcast [2] that directly connects to the Snapserver included in (e.g.) the Iris Docker [3]. I added a modified Docker Image for Iris that includes the Funkwhale extension here [4]. Works flawlessly since 2 years, almost zero maintenance and great music experience. My synchronized Snapcast extents through several rooms and two houses (120km apart), through IPSEC with a very small bandwidth (5000kbit up). Many thanks to all the maintainers of this stunning stack of OSS.

You can connect Iris to Funkwhale - I prefer the Funkwhale app, but added Iris to my stack because other can easily play music on my Sound system.

I use Iris which has a pretty awesome integration w/ Spotify. There's a TIDAL integration with Mopidy but it doesn't integrate with Iris and is completely hacky.

If Web Scrobbler states on their website that these UK radio stations should be supported, you should check the Issues section of their GitHub page and write a report if there is something wrong:

The desktop scrobbler doesn't support Bandcamp scrobbling. To scrobble from Bandcamp you'll need to install the Web Scrobbler browser extension.

Nope, the desktop scrobbler only works with media players (iTunes/WMP). You can use the web player + web scrobbler combo if you'd rather not connect your Spotify account.

Posting this in case any one else runs in to the same problem. I found a discussion about this issue on Web Scrobbler's github page: https://github.com/web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler/issues/3462 Seems to be happening to other people and not yet resolved.

Webscrobbler

I find I use Web Scrobbler to listen to a wide variety of radio. You can discover new artists in volume that way.

For client side last.fm support the site could be added to this web-extension.

assuming the UI expresses meta data in an easily scrapable way.
