An old version of libvips was failing(?) to downloading
causing sharp to use node-gyp rebuild which errors due
to missing python on the base image
This shouldn't happen since we can def use a prebuild binary

Updated Apple Music configuration documentation with step-by-step instructions and screenshots for extracting authorization tokens in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
latest_listen_ts is *always* the latest of *all-time*, not for the current min/max_ts range requested.
Instead, use count < than desired (and non-zero) to indicate more results
* Ensure ingress queue always has an updated timestamp before dead creation
* Don't re-assign createdAt for scrobble after dead queue has already been updated
* Use timeline summary formatting to fix spacing
* Provide client name from fetched component data, if present, so scrobble summary is explicit where it sent/response scrobble from
Replaces the generic `headers` configuration field with a specific `origin` field for Apple Music. Updates the config schema, environment variable handling, documentation, and source implementation to simplify origin header management.
Implemented album name normalization in AppleMusicSource to ensure consistency with other sources by removing standard suffixes from EPs and singles. Updated documentation to reflect this behavior.
Added logic to detect and recover 'top-rebound' history patterns where Apple Music deduplicates re-listened tracks by bumping them to the top. This ensures intermediate tracks are captured and re-listened top tracks are processed correctly. Includes a new configuration option `recoverUnchangedTopHistory` to toggle this behavior.
Refactored Apple Music source configuration to support token-based authentication via key files and custom headers. Renamed environment variable prefixes from 'AM' to 'APPLEMUSIC' for consistency.
Added documentation for the APPLEMUSIC_HEADERS environment variable and updated code blocks with titles for better clarity in the Apple Music source configuration.
Implemented status code validation for Apple Music authentication and connection checks. The module now throws errors instead of failing silently when the API is unreachable or auth is invalid.
Reorganized the Apple Music documentation to prioritize the Browser Token (Free) authentication method and clarify requirements for the paid MusicKit Key approach.
Introduced a `headers` configuration option to allow setting custom request headers, such as 'Origin', for Apple Music API requests. Updated configuration schema and source implementation to apply these headers.
Moved the reduceRight logic for calculating play timestamps into a dedicated private method 'applyCalculatedTimestamps' to improve code readability and maintainability.
Refactored AppleMusicSource to use defined types for history consistency, updated the getRecentlyPlayedTracks limit type, and renamed variable for clarity.
Removed the unused `getBackloggedPlays` method and cleaned up the `getRecentlyDiscoveredPlays` logic in `AppleMusicSource` to streamline track processing.
Implement Apple Music source, including configuration types, environment variable handling, and source initialization logic. Refactored SourceType definitions to improve maintainability.
Store opened state, and position/size, to local storage so logs stay where user wants them across refreshes/initial load.
Resets window to default position if any part of log window is outside viewport bounds on open.

* Update plays on already discovered to keep them from being delted
* Fix various bugs and missed awaits in retention cleanup function
multiplatform is still useful for memory players but is not useful for discovery and just complicates code paths.
there is no reason to discover based on platform as the Source is the smallest UoW anyway. If a play should be discovered (or not) it shouldn't matter what platform is was played on, it's all the same Source
* Don't keep sticky now playing if the player has gone stale/orphaned
* When multiple players are present, prefer those that are not stale/orphaned
#480
* Use and return only plain PlayProgress on player state finish
* Removes the need to serialize/deserialize ListenProgress class and compare/persist toad scheduler or timeout functions

Some items on Plex store the MBID in the `guid` field in the `Metadata`
response, not in the `Guid` field. This change checks the `guid` field
as a fallback if the `Guid` field is not set.
* Check queue before adding so that previously cached or re-discovered plays from a source are not added multiple times to the queue (should only be unique plays)
* Add timestamp heuristic to dupe matching -- if score is *close* to matching and timestamp is *exact* then nudge it into a match
* Use p-retry to standard retry behavior
* Simplify/remove other own-rolled retry logic
* Fix superagent request instantiation
* Requests are mutable, cannot be retried once executed. Need to make a new request for each retry
Use a limit/maxFetch upper limit to return a bulk of scrobbles by count, rather than timerange, so that backlogged scrobbles are less likely to cause many fetches on first startup
* Remove design bias towards "recent" scrobbles with limited timerange and complex shouldRefresh logic
* Replace with logic to fetch scrobbles from timeranges that are relevant to queued/dead scrobbles
* timeranges are grouped by closely timestamped queued scrobbles
* timeranges are cached based on staleAfter
Koito functionality has diverged enough that it doesn't make sense to provide partial support via LZ components.
This also makes timerange pagination easier.
* All logger use trace as minimum level
* Force app log stream to trace minimum so we always show all possible logs in dashboard
* Add trace level to dashboard
* Make dashboard start in debug logs for readability
* Set auth failure on 4000 from server (invalid client id)
* Better logging for connection issues
* Don't fail on connect so we can keep retrying on MS activity
* Handle connect and auth separately so it can be restarted by scrobble heartbeat
* make ms-initiated reconnect use manual close/open since isosockets won't
* better error handling for auth/connection init stages
* send heartbeats even if not authed
* Use pocike icon for placeholder art
* Use MS logo for small art with link to docs
* Use web link as track url, if available
* Use MB link as track or artist url
* Add as dev dependency with npm script so it can be run anywhere project is installed
* Update config with newer template based on scopesorted
* Add more scopes and give them pretty emojis
The old jellyfin config had optional options which kept the new jf options required from *always* being required. Removing the old config revealed this bug.
Fixes#469
* Store Source input and original play
* Store transformer hook results as diff patches alongside stage-specific arbitrary input data
* Use jsondiffpatch console format to log stage diffs
* Store scrobble payload data
Device Name/GroupName is more likely to exist and less likely to cause issues than upnpclass and other things we are looking for to verify its a valid track.
User can block the erroring device to "fix" bad behavior.
* Use invariant hash for seen state logging
* Removes dependence on individual properties being available
* Drop player state if an existing existing player has the same play, rather than dropping by existing group
* Enable logging empty player for more debugging info
try to get device summary with for loop
* Use dynamic import for schema based on environment
* If production use pre-generated json to avoid loading vega generator -- big memory footprint reduction
* If not production use vega so schema is always up to date
Source that are also clients did not have ENV config due to early design choices that are now irrelevant.
Implement ENV config for these source to make config easier for everyone.
* feat(librefm): Implement librefm
* feat(librefm): Make api key/secret optional
* feat(librefm): Add LIBREFM_ENABLE env to allow enabling librefm with no other options
* feat(ui): Show client/source hint for all ambiguous components
* Adds `fields` and `id` presets to give ENV users more flexibility
* BREAKING: Removes searchOrder from `sensible` so users must now use `default` with presets (other than `sensible`) to get default searchOrder methods added
* Cache full transform hooks and omit logging when cache hit
* Big logging reduction for sources that return all plays (teal, lastfm, etc.)
* Implement new error type for stages to discriminate between expected prerequisite failures and true exceptions
* Used to determine logging level and if hook should be cached
* search order and type of searches now determined by `searchOrder` instead of multiple `fallback*` options with hardcoded order
* Deprecate `fallback*` options
* Deprecate `fallbackArtistSearch` for `searchArtistMethod`
* Refactor ENV presets to use new options
* Parse irsc and track number from spotify data
* Add isrc and track number to listenbrainz submission
* Correct spotify ids for listenbrainz submission
#418
* Merge causes if a simple error exists in the stack, reduces stack logging noise
* Log top level message and print error instead of duplicating message in another error
* Fix adding transform history for failed-continue stage
* Implement multiple endpoints for API client with round robin load balancing
* Implement caching responses
* Add transformer options for search triggers
* Implement transformer checks based on search triggers and score
* Aggressively start Now Playing update (based on reported) but aggressibely end, based on stale/orphaned, so updates are early but not often
* Refactor update thresholds to use scrobble client behavior
* LFM and LZ use track duration as "time visible" for Now Playing, don't re-update during that time period
* Add thresholds to logging for easier troubleshooting
#395
* Use vite tailwind plugin instead of postcss
* Update tailwind so it actually works with plugin
* Remove postcss

## How Does multi-scrobbler (MS) Work?
You set up configurations for one or more **Sources** and one or more **Clients**. MS monitors all of your configured **Sources**. When new tracks are played by a Source it grabs that information and then sends it (scrobbles it) to all **Clients** that Source is configured to scrobble to.

A **Client** is an application that stores the historical information about what songs you have played (scrobbles). Examples are **Maloja, Last.fm, Listenbrainz**...
Before a Play is scrobbled to a client MS checks existing scrobbles from the Client's API to see if the Play has already been scrobbled.
For each Play, MS fetches (cached) scrobbles from the Client in a time range inclusive of the Play's listening timestamp and then scores existing scrobbles against the Play based on:
* Similarity of Title, Artists, and Album
* Temporal closeness of the Play's timestamp to the existing scrobble's timestamp
* Whether MS detected the Play as a repeat (applicable to Sources that report realtime Player data)
Detailed scoring breakdowns against each existing scrobble are logged at the `TRACE` logging level or in the [debug data](/help#copy-play-debug-data) for a scrobble.
See the [**Duplicate Scrobble Guidance**](/configuration/duplicates#how-duplicates-are-detected) page to learn how duplicates are detected and how you can ensure your configuration avoids possible duplicates.
### Dead Scrobbles
If multi-scrobbler is unable to submit a scrobble to a Client then it places the scrobble into a queue which is retried every 5 minutes for a number of times before it gives up.
After it stops _automatically_ retrying the scrobble still exists and can be retried from the dashboard. Dead scrobbles persist between restart so you will never lose a scrobble that hasn't been successfully submitted yet.
### Now Playing
Multi-scrobbler can report the currently **playing** tracks it is monitoring to some Scrobble Clients via their individual **Now Playing** functionality.
Now Playing is **default enabled** for all Clients that support it.
The behavior multi-scrobbler uses for determining Now Playing reporting:
* Now Playing can be explicitly enabled or disabled globally using ENV `NOW_PLAYING=true` or `NOW_PLAYING=false`
* This only affects Clients that don't have behavior set via File/AIO (below)
* Now Playing will be only be reported to the same Clients a Source is configured to scrobble to
* A Source's Player status must be **Playing**, IE **active**, for reporting to occur
* This status can be verified via Player UI on the Dashboard
* If multiple Sources having active Players then the scrobble Client will default to reporting the track based on Source **configuration** name, alphabetically
* This is the `name` property set in [File or AIO source configs](/configuration?configType=file#configuration-types)
Clients can customize the Now Playing behavior individually using [File or AIO source configs:](/configuration?configType=file#configuration-types)

This scrobbler uses **[Now Playing](/configuration/clients#now-playing)** functionality to set your Discord [Rich Presence](https://docs.discord.com/developers/rich-presence/overview) to the music you are currently monitoring with multi-scrobbler.
This integration uses an **existing Discord application** to set your Rich Presence.
:::tip
Check the [main Discord docs page](/configuration/clients/discord) for a comparison between **App** and **Headless**.
:::
## Required Setup
### Discord Application
You must create a [Discord App](https://docs.discord.com/developers/quick-start/overview-of-apps) in order to use this integration. Creating an App is free and simple.
Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
* Click on "New Application" and give it a name
* Copy the **Application Id** (Client Id) shown after creation
* Add this Id to your Multi-Scrobbler config
* Env Config => `DISCORD_APPLICATION_ID=12345678`
* File Config => `"applicationId": "12345678"`
### Discord Connection
This integration uses an existing, running Discord application to communicate with Discord and set Rich Presence. Multi-scrobbler must be able to communicate with the Discord application, either by being on the same machine or over a network.
[Kasm Workspaces](https://kasm.com) provides a self-hostable [Discord container image](https://hub.docker.com/r/kasmweb/discord). This image provides a desktop-like experience, through browser-based VNC, to use the official Discord application.
This containerized approach can be used instead of configuring MS to use a [Native Discord](./?discordType=native#discord-connection) application on a specific machine.
**Advantages**
* Setup is much simpler
* Discord runs in the same stack as multi-scrobbler
* **Configuration is copy-paste.** Skip all of the [Discord Connection](#discord-connection) instructions.
* Get a [Headless](/configuration/clients/discord/discord-headless)-like experience without needing to break Discord TOS
**Disadvantages**
* Image only available for x86 arch
* Image and container are large (1GB+)
* Discord does not notify *other* clients of notifications in a channel if *any* client is viewing that channel.
* To avoid this, make sure your container discord instance is not viewing any server/channel/dm.
* Sometimes, Discord does not deliver "notifications you missed" to mobile because this depends on *all* clients being offline.
<h2>Setup</h2>
Setup is basically the same as using the instructions for [Discord on Linux](./?osType=linux&discordType=native#find-ipc-connection) with [MS on Same Host (Docker)](./?osType=linux&discordType=native#pass-ipc-to-multi-scrobbler).
<h3>1. Add Discord Service to Multi-Scrobbler Docker Compose Stack</h3>
<details>
<summary>Detailed Explanation</summary>
* Add the `kasmweb/discord` service to your compose stack
* Mount the directory containing Discord's unix socket to a named volume
* Configure MS to use Discord's unix socket
* Mount the unix socket volume into MS's container
* Add ENV `DISCORD_IPC_LOCATIONS` to point to the mounted volume
</details>
Use this example `docker-compose.yaml` to modify your existing multi-scrobbler `docker-compose.yaml`:
Navigate in your browser to the IP/host Multi-Scrobbler/Discord are running on. Use the `port` set in the `kasmcord` service:
```
# basic auth login
# user: kasm_user
# pass is what was set in env VNC_PW
https://192.168.MY.HOST:6901
```
Login to Discord normally. After login is complete MS should connect automatically when a Now Playing event happens. If it does not or reports authentication failure then restart MS (but not Discord).
If MS works then you are done and can move on to [Optional Setup](#optional-setup).
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="native" label="Native Discord">
Use this method if you want to connect MS to Discord running on a physical desktop.
<DetailsAdmo type="tip" summary="Local MS Installation Requires No Config">
If MS was [installed locally](/installation#local-installation) (not Docker) on the same machine as the Discord application then MS should [automatically detect the correct method](#find-ipc-connection) and [use it](#pass-ipc-to-multi-scrobbler) **without** any configuration from you. This will work for **any OS**.
If MS cannot determine this automatically, follow the steps for your OS below.
</DetailsAdmo>
Follow the sections below to configure MS for your specific environment.
#### Find IPC Connection
Discord uses OS-specific methods to communicate with other applications on the same host, called [IPC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-process_communication). You may need to determine some details about the IPC method in order for MS to communicate with it correctly.
<Tabs groupId="osType" queryString>
<TabItem value="linux" label="Discord on Linux">
On Linux, Discord uses a [Unix Socket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_domain_socket) for IPC.
<TabItem value="windows" label="Discord on Windows">
Windows uses [**Named Pipes**](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/ipc/named-pipes) for IPC. These aren't easily iteratable without external software, like [Pipetap](https://github.com/sensepost/pipetap).
The syntax for a named pipe is like this:
```
\\.\pipe\app_named_pipe_foo
```
and Discord's names follow this pattern:
```
\\.\pipe\discord-ipc-0
```
Where `0` increments for each different instance of Discord (official, canary, nightly, etc...).
The default Discord pipe name is: `discord-ipc-0`
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
#### Pass IPC to Multi-Scrobbler
After [finding your IPC connection path](#find-ipc-connection) you will need to make it accessible to Multi-Scrobbler.

### Artwork
Multi-scrobbler can display Album Art in your Discord status. The image that is used differs based on if the image URL is publically accessible.
The order in which multi-scrobbler determines what image to use is the same as the order of the tabs shown below.
External URLs that are not from known music services are **disabled by default.** This is to preserve *your* privacy because Discord does not host images, it only links to them and the URL is visible to other users.
<details>
<summary>Why Should I Care?</summary>
There are some scenarios where you may not want your artwork URLs to be visible, for example:
* A Source may be accessible only on your LAN (Jellyfin at `http://192.168.0.101`)
* A Source may be internet-facing but you do not want to expose this information to discord/other users
* A Source may be internet-facing but requires authentication to view the image
</details>
MS will use your artwork URLs only if:
* artwork url is from a known music service/[Cover Art Archive](./?artworkUrl=caa#artwork-url-types) or
* artwork url starts with `https` and
* `artwork` (`DISCORD_ARTWORK`) is
* `true` => always uses the url
* a list of custom domains keywords an external artwork url should contain EX
None of the below URLs will **ever** be used because they are not `https`
```
http://foobar.com/cool.jpg <-- NOT allowed, not http

</details>
</TabItem>
<TabItem label="Musicbrainz/Cover Art Achive" value="caa">
MS can try to use [Cover Art Archive](http://coverartarchive.org/) to get album art. The URL it retrieves is public which means it acts like an External URL that is always available for you.
* The scrobble data does not contain an album art url (no art in dashboard) or the existing url has failed an [External URL](./?artworkUrl=external#artwork-url-types) condition
* and **the scrobble data contains a [Musicbrainz](/configuration/transforms/musicbrainz) Release (Album) MBID**
Basically, if MS would normally use the [MS Default](./?artworkUrl=ms-default#artwork-url-types) art, it will first try to use Cover Art Archive if the scrobble has a Release MBID.
Some Source, like [Jellyfin](/configuration/sources/jellyfin) and [Plex](/configuration/sources/plex), can automatically provide this ID if the music is "matched" in your library.
For all others, you can [**configure MS to use the Musicbrainz Stage**](/configuration/transforms/musicbrainz#use-metadata-for-discord-album-art) for Discord to try to get this MBID.

The status artwork will use a default URL instead of your artwork URL.
Without any other configuration, the default URL is an icon from the [multi-scrobbler repository](https://github.com/FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler/blob/master/assets/default-artwork.png):

<DetailsAdmo type="note" summary="How MS Uses Discord API">
Multi-scrobbler does its utmost to implement, to-spec, [Gateway API communication](https://docs.discord.com/developers/events/gateway) and respect usage. It requires no [permissions](https://docs.discord.com/developers/events/gateway#gateway-intents) and reads no data other than monitoring what other user sessions are active.
Aside from the on-paper violation of using a user token programmatically (on your behalf), there is no misuse of the API to achieve rich presence.
Additionally, MS uses the state of non-MS sessions to conservatively update presence. [By default it will not conflict](#configure-when-presence-is-used) with any other official presence activities and is only used when you are actually active on a device.
</DetailsAdmo>
<DetailsAdmo type="note" summary="REQUIRED Interaction after Starting Multi-Scrobbler">
Every time multi-scrobbler is started a discord session update needs to be triggered so that [MS can capture the signals it uses to determine if presence can be updated.](#configure-when-presence-is-used) This only needs to be *once*, after starting multi-scrobbler. But it does need to be *every time* multi-scrobbler is (re)started. Without these signals MS will not update presence.
This session update can happen automatically after *some* time so you may not need to do anything. If you want to force the update then do one of the following:
* Open discord on a device it was not recently active on
* Exit discord on an active device
* Change your status (online, idle, etc...)
* Set a custom status
* Cause a presence update with a different app (listening to..., playing..., etc.)
</DetailsAdmo>
## Required Setup
### User Token
You must provide a **Discord User Token** for your account in order to authenticate with Discord.
This functionality requires you to use your own **Discord User Token** in a way that is **against Discord's policies/terms of service.** If you use this scrobbler you do so **at your risk**.
There is no precedent for Discord punishing users who use their own token for non-abuse/spam reasons but there is also no guarantee this lack of enforcement will continue.
Refer to the **How MS Uses Discord API** section above to gauge whether this risk is acceptable to you.
</DetailsAdmo>
<DetailsAdmo type="warning" summary="User Token is a Sensitive Credential">
Treat your User Token like a login credential. Anyone who has your token can access Discord as you.
When finding instructions for obtaining this token only run commands, or follow steps, that you can understand and trust. Do not run commands you do not understand. Never give your token to someone else.
</DetailsAdmo>
No instructions will be provided for obtaining a User Token because it is against Discord's policies to use it. Instead, you can search online for "how to obtain discord user token".
## Optional Setup
### Configure When Presence Is Used
MS uses several signals from your "real" Discord sessions to determine if it should update presence. The default configuration is conservative to ensure that MS does not conflict with other apps using presence. Additionally, it only updates if a "real" user device is active on discord.
:::tip[TLDR]
Without any additional configuration, MS will only update presence if:
* you have discord open on a real device
* your status is either: online, idle, or dnd (not invisible)
* no other apps are broadcasting listening activities (listening to spotify, etc...)
:::
#### Online Status
Configure if MS is allowed to update presence based on your online status. If this setting is not defined MS will only update if your status is **online**, **idle**, or **dnd**.
Allowed Values: `online` `idle` `dnd` `invisible`
<details>
<summary>Example</summary>
Only allow presence updating when all of your "real" sessions are either online or idle.
Without any additional configuration, MS will not set Rich Presence if **other** apps are broadcasting **listening** activities EX "Listening to Spotify".
<details>
<summary>What about other activity types?</summary>
Discord uses an undocumented activity type priority to determine what activity is shown "first" for your profile. The Listening activity type has the *lowest priority*.
This means that if you start any other type of activity (streaming, watching, competing, etc...) it will take precedence over MS's listening activity.
Your listening activity will still be visible by clicking into your full profile.
</details>
Configure the names of **other** listening activities that MS **is allowed** to broadcast at the same time as.
<details>
<summary>Example</summary>
You want to allow MS to update presence even if Spotify is also broadcasting a listening activity.
Creating a [Discord App](https://docs.discord.com/developers/quick-start/overview-of-apps) enables you to use custom album cover art and secondary status images for more links. Creating an App is free and simple, it is recommended you do this to get the most functionality from Rich Presence.
<details>
<summary>Create An Application</summary>
Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
* Click on "New Application" and give it a name
* Copy the **Application Id** (Client Id) shown after creation
* Add this Id to your Multi-Scrobbler config
* Env Config => `DISCORD_APPLICATION_ID=12345678`
* File Config => `"applicationId": "12345678"`
</details>
### Artwork
Multi-scrobbler can display Album Art in your Discord status. The image that is used differs based on if the image URL is publically accessible.
:::note
If no [**Application Id**](#discord-application) is configured the status art will **always** be the [Discord Default](./?artworkUrl=discord-default#artwork-url-types).
:::
The order in which multi-scrobbler determines what image to use is the same as the order of the tabs shown below.
#### Artwork URL Types

<TabItem label="MS Default" value="ms-default">
When [**Application Id**](#discord-application) **is** configured and these conditions are true:
* Cannot use an [External URL](./?artworkUrl=external#artwork-url-types) and
* Cannot get album art from [Cover Art Archive](./?artworkUrl=caa#artwork-url-types) and
* Play does not contain artwork information (no artwork shown in dashboard)
The status artwork will use a default URL instead of your artwork URL.
Without any other configuration, the default URL is an icon from the [multi-scrobbler repository](https://github.com/FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler/blob/master/assets/default-artwork.png):
When [**Application Id**](#discord-application) is **not** configured Discord will show its own image. No custom artwork can be used in this configuration.
This is also the image Discord will display if the artwork URL cannot be fetched.
| _**`DISCORD_ID`**_ | string | | A globally unique ID EX `myComponentId` |
| `DISCORD_NAME` | string | Value of `DISCORD_ID` | A vanity name EX `My Cool Component` |
| _**`DISCORD_TOKEN`**_ | string | | User Token acquired from an active Discord sessions |
| `DISCORD_APPLICATION_ID` | string | | Application ID used to display album art |
| `DISCORD_ARTWORK` | boolean | | A boolean indicating if external artwork URLs should be used. Or a comma-separated list of allowed domains |
| `DISCORD_ARTWORK_DEFAULT_URL` | string or boolean | | A URL of an image to use as a fallback if the album art URL cannot be used. Or `false` to use discord's default. |
| `DISCORD_STATUS_OVERRIDE_ALLOW` | string | `online,idle,dnd` | A comma-separated list of statuses are allowed to have presence. |
| `DISCORD_LISTENING_ACTIVITY_ALLOW` | string | | A commera-seperated list of listening activity names MS **is allowed** to broadcast presence at the same time as. |
This scrobbler uses **[Now Playing](/configuration/clients#now-playing)** functionality to set your Discord [Rich Presence](https://docs.discord.com/developers/rich-presence/overview) to the music you are currently monitoring with multi-scrobbler.

To monitor and re-scrobble activity from a Koito account create a [Koito (Source)](/configuration/sources/koito-source)
:::
Setup a [Koito server](https://koito.io/guides/installation/) if you have not already done this.
* [Create (or get) an API Key](https://koito.io/guides/scrobbler/)
* From your Koito server dashboard navigate to **Settings** (bottom-left icon) => **API Keys**
* Create a new Key (or use an existing) and Copy the key using the copy icon to the right of the key
* EX `pM195xPV98CDpk0QW47FIIOR8AKATAX5DblBF-Jq0t1MbbKL`
* Take note of your Koito username (used below as `KOITO_USER`)
* Determine your Koito URL
* This is the URL you use to access your Koito dashboard OR whatever URL is accessible from your multi-scrobbler instance.
* EX dashboard at `http://192.168.0.100:4110` => `KOITO_URL` is set to `http://192.168.0.100:4110`
:::note[Koito Base URL]
Using the URL path `/apis/listenbrainz` [Koito docs describe](https://koito.io/guides/scrobbler/) **is not required.** The Koito URL used for multi-scrobbler should only be the **base** URL. Only include a URL path if your Koito **base** url is not at `host:port`. See the table below for examples.
<details>
<summary>Base URL Examples</summary>
| `KOITO_URL` | MS Detected Base URL | Example Scrobble Api URL |
For Koito versions `<=0.1.7`, you must have the environment variable `KOITO_ALLOWED_HOSTS` set correctly in your Koito environment/container. Ensure it is set to the IP address or domain name that you use to access Koito with e.g. `koito.mydomain.com`.

<DetailsAdmo type="warning" summary="Limits for Old Scrobbles">
Last.fm will not accept scrobbles that are timestamped as **older than 2 weeks** from the current time.
This is not officially documented but has been confirmed by multiple people/mods in the last.fm support forums: [[1]](https://support.last.fm/t/importing-listening-history-spotify-apple-music-and-itunes-wmp/1424/3) [[2]](https://support.last.fm/t/suggestion-allow-last-fm-pro-members-to-use-the-api-to-submit-scrobbles-older-than-2-weeks/69190/2) [[3]](https://support.last.fm/t/how-to-scrobble-complete-spotify-history/44558)
Multi-scrobbler can queue scrobbles for you if the Last.fm service is unavailable, or if there is an issue with a specific scrobble. However, you are responsible for making sure these scrobbles are eventually sent to Last.fm (by retrying in the UI or retarting Last.fm client in UI) before the two week window has passed or else they will not be scrobblable *at all* unless the timestamp is changed.
A future update to Multi-scrobbler will enable editing of unsent scrobble data and modifying the timestamp from the UI.
If you have issues with specific scrobbles not being sent and retries/restarts do not fix it, please make sure to [create a new issue](https://github.com/FoxxMD/multi-scrobbler/issues/new?template=01-bug-report.yml) in a timely manner so that it can be resolved before the window has passed.
</DetailsAdmo>
You will need a [Last.fm](https://www.last.fm) account to use the Last.fm API.
After creating your account, [register for an API account here.](https://www.last.fm/api/account/create)
The callback URL in the API account form is not used, but to keep it consistent use the same value you set using the [Callback/Redirect URL](#callbackredirect-url) section.
**Take note of your API Key and Secret after account creation.**
### Callback/Redirect URL
The Redirect (Callback) URL is used to redirect your **browser** to multi-scrobbler after authentication has completed.
So, the *base of the URL* you use should be the *same* as the URL you would use to navigate to the multi-scrobbler dashboard.
<details>
<summary>Example</summary>
If you can visit the multi-scrobbler dashboard by navigating to http://192.168.0.100:9078 in your web browser...
then the ENV `LASTFM_REDIRECT_URI`, or `redirectUri` for last.fm/libre.fm json config, should be
```
http://192.168.0.100:9078/lastfm/callback
```
</details>
The Redirect URL can be explicitly specified in the configuration below, or by using the global [Base URL](/configuration#base-url) setting.
import JsonConfig from '!!raw-loader!@site/../config/librefm.json.example';
import ENVConfig from "@site/docs/configuration/clients/_env_configs/_librefm.md"
:::tip[Other Users]
* To monitor and re-scrobble activity from your Libre.fm account create a [Libre.fm (Source)](/configuration/sources/librefm-source)
:::
To use the official [Libre.fm](https://libre.fm/) website you will need an account. Or, you can run your own GNU FM instance [using the source code](https://github.com/foocorp/gnu-fm).
No API account, [API Key, or Secret](https://github.com/libre-fm/developer/wiki/Libre.fm-fundamentals#api-keys) is currently needed to use the Libre.fm API. Instead, use **any values** for API Key/Secret in the configuration. Authentication is done by allowing access from your account on redirect.
### Callback/Redirect URL
The Redirect (Callback) URL is used to redirect your **browser** to multi-scrobbler after authentication has completed.
So, the *base of the URL* you use should be the *same* as the URL you would use to navigate to the multi-scrobbler dashboard.
<details>
<summary>Example</summary>
If you can visit the multi-scrobbler dashboard by navigating to http://192.168.0.100:9078 in your web browser...
then the ENV `LIBREFM_REDIRECT_URI`, or `redirectUri` for libre.fm json config, should be
```
http://192.168.0.100:9078/librefm/callback
```
</details>
The Redirect URL can be explicitly specified in the configuration below, or by using the global [Base URL](/configuration#base-url) setting.
### Custom Libre.fm instance
If you are **not** using the official Libre.fm instance then specify your custom instance using ENV `LIBREFM_URLBASE` or `urlBase` property in the `data` section in File/AIO config.
The value should be `protocol://libre.tld/path/prefix` EX:
import JsonConfig from '!!raw-loader!@site/../config/listenbrainz.json.example';
import ENVConfig from "@site/docs/configuration/clients/_env_configs/_listenbrainz.md"
:::tip[Other Users]
* To monitor and re-scrobble activity from a Listenbrainz account create a [Listenbrainz (Source)](/configuration/sources/listenbrainz-source)
* To accept scrobbles from outside applications as if multi-scrobbler was a Listenbrainz server, create a [Listenbrainz (Endpoint)](/configuration/sources/listenbrainz-endpoint)
:::
You will need to run your own Listenbrainz server or have an account [on the official instance](https://listenbrainz.org/login/)
On your [profile page](https://listenbrainz.org/profile/) find your **User Token** to use in the configuration.
