Description:
Do you use Plex Media Server to stream audio media? This module will display the song (new: or video) you are listening to. It behaves and looks exactly like the awesome MMM-Scrobbler, but shows the currently playing song your PMS instead of last.fm. PMS actually can scrobble songs now to last.fm but sadly it doesn’t utilize the “now playing” feature. So I had to write this module :)
It uses a lot of the same code but also uses a node_helper to do the request to the PMS API and then the XML parsing.
NB:
- If media is simultaneously playing from multiple clients, it currently just picks the first one it finds to show for space purposes.
- It will skip paused songs and videos.
- For now, playing songs will always override playing videos. This might become configurable.
- So far I have only tested this on a local PMS instance.
