Many thanks to TrevTV for the mb_ScrobbleItem plugin, I never would've found out how to get to the scrobbling method without it.

mb_scrobbleshorttracks's Issues

Only allow songs under 30 seconds to be scrobbled if at least 50% of it has been listened to

Thank you very much for this plugin! I've wanted something like this for a very long time.

I just tested this with a 27-second song and found that skipping it at any point (even before 1 second has passed) scrobbles the song.

I know this might be very niche, but I think it'd be nice, if possible, for the plugin to only scrobble songs that have been listened to for at least 50% of the duration, like how the built-in normal last.fm scrobbler works. Hopefully that's something that can be done without much trouble!

Offline scrobbles of short tracks are currently lost

I'll try to check for failed scrobbles and if it's possible to add them later on like it happens with regularly scrobbled tracks.

Duplicate scrobbles

Going to give you an example: His Hero Is Gone - T-Minus Zero

Song is 0:29.960 seconds. Perceived by Musicbee to be 30 seconds, therefore it scrobbles twice. Happens with any other songs which are 0:29.5 and above. Thus rounded up to 30 seconds.
