Feature Request: Ability to use other ListenBrainz instances

[ngoomie]

If possible, it'd be nice to have a way to point ScrobblerBrainz at different ListenBrainz instances, so changing the API endpoint URL and recompiling isn't necessary.

I'm honestly more asking for use with maloja's ListenBrainz API support than ListenBrainz itself since there's no MusicBee plugin that supports maloja — I tried changing the URL and re-compiling to no avail, but I don't know if there was somehow something I was missing, or if I was compiling it wrong. I completely understand if this is out of scope for this plugin, though!

If the plugin compiled successfully then I suspect a simple URL replace is not enough to make it work with Maloja.

Adding the support for different LB-compatibile endpoints is - as you noted - out of scope for this project, but I'll consider writing a dedicated plugin for Maloja. This will have to wait until the current plugin is feature-complete, though.

Alright, cool with me. Thanks very much for the quick response!

Hi, is there any update on this?

No update and don't hold your breath for one.

In fact, a simple URL replace is enough for Maloja. I added a field to replace the URL with a custom one and it's working as expected. The only difference is that the user token is longer, so the max length for the user token field was also changed.
