Hello I’m the developer of an open-source, self-hosted application – multi-scrobbler – used for aggregating music listening activity across many (15+) platforms to scrobble to one or more services (Last.fm, Listenbrainz, Maloja). MS has been discussed previously in this forum and had interest from multi-scrobbler users about scrobbling from Roon.
I would very much like to develop an integration for Roon. With the focused effort I have put into MS I believe my app could solve many issues I’ve seen Roon users encountering here: duplicate scrobbles, scrobbling to additional service (Listenbrainz), handling multiple artists from the now playing info in the Roon API…
I could get started developing an intergration using roon-kit or node-roon-api right now but I am not a paying subscriber for Roon (my listening situation does not require multi-zoned audio).
I understand there is a 2-week free trial but after the initial implementation I would still want to be able to support users of my Roon implementation which would likely require being able to reproduce behavior and get real data from a Roon instance which would require me to purchase a subscription. I would be paying Roon to provide free software that they benefit from. This does not sit well with me.
I have previously reached out to Roon via support email and applied to the Roon Partner Program but have not heard back since I applied a month ago.
All I want is a “developer” account (even limited functionality is fine) so that I can develop an integration for Roon. I’m posting this here to try to get more visibility to a Roon employee with the hope they can help me out here, or at least give me an answer one way or the other.
