No Album, Cover Art, and MB data scrobbled to Koito / Listenbrainz

[esamecar]

I’ve set up a ListenBrainz-compatible scrobbler for Koito as a channel in Listening Post (v0.6). Listening Post recognises the correct track and shows the corresponding album art in the menu bar list:

But it does not send album information / musicbrainz ids etc. to Koito:

listen_type=playing_now listen_type=playing_now payload=[{"track_metadata":{"additional_info":{"duration_ms":202734,"submission_client":"Listening Post (Beta) for macOS","submission_client_version":"2026.0.6"},"artist_name":"Cage the Elephant","mbid_mapping":{"artist_mbids":null,"artists":null,"recording_mbid":"","release_mbid":""},"track_name":"HiFi (True Light)"}}]
listen_type=playing_now listen_type=playing_now payload=[{"track_metadata":{"additional_info":{"duration_ms":195767,"submission_client":"Listening Post (Beta) for macOS","submission_client_version":"2026.0.6"},"artist_name":"Cage the Elephant","mbid_mapping":{"artist_mbids":null,"artists":null,"recording_mbid":"","release_mbid":""},"track_name":"Rainbow"}}]
listen_type=single listen_type=single payload=[{"listened_at":1772097876,"track_metadata":{"additional_info":{"duration_ms":202734,"submission_client":"Listening Post (Beta) for macOS","submission_client_version":"2026.0.6"},"artist_name":"Cage the Elephant","mbid_mapping":{"artist_mbids":null,"artists":null,"recording_mbid":"","release_mbid":""},"track_name":"HiFi (True Light)"}}]

This results in tracks regocnized as single tracks, not belonging to an album and therefore without cover art in Koito. Am I doing something wrong?

You’re not doing anything wrong. The endpoint used does not support album data (see ListenBrainz 0.1.0 documentation).

But as mentioned before in another thread, I plan on adding “native” Koito support which (I guess) will fix this particular problem.

thanks again; looking forward to the native implementation
