AI saves me again. ChatGPT sucked but Grok pulled through. Apparently, there's a setting ONLY on the Github version to allow a persistent notification and you have to like enable restricted app usage. I couldn't find any information about this by searching around the internet, Reddit, or the actual Github page. Wtf man. Hopefully that fixes the issue.
It's a little annoying that I now constantly have an icon in my notifs but it could be worse.
Okay, I think I ACTUALLY have it working now. In addition to doing literally everything else, if I keep the actual app open and locked it seems to work. So I'll just have to remember that whenever I'm playing music on my phone I guess!
Kind of crazy how ridiculous this has been, I've been searching for the solution for literal days.
And that shit didn't work either. What the fuck man this is stupid as fuck. You would think there would be more ways to scrobble than a singular app that barely works.
