[x] [2716] Scrobbler: UI Improvement & Better Error Logging for Scrobbler plugin

[geciriy235@afterdo.com]

Hi,
I am using the official AIMP Scrobbler plugin to scrobble tracks to a self-hosted Maloja server. I would like to suggest two improvements to the user interface and logging system to enhance user experience and simplify troubleshooting.

1. Add UI Hints for Maloja URL Format

Currently, when adding a self-hosted Maloja URL, the interface does not clarify whether a full API path (e.g., `/apis/audioscrobbler/2.0/`) is required or just the base domain. Please add a small placeholder text or a tooltip clarifying that only the base URL is needed.

2. Improve Error Logging Informativeness

The existing logs in aimp_scrobbler.log are too generic and misleading. For example:

Code: [Select]

Main 2026.06.11 18:19:43.774 D/Scrobbler: Maloja (self-hosted scrobble DB): Error: 12029. HttpSendRequest failed. Maybe a certificate issue. Ensure that TLS 1.2/1.3 are switched on This specific error (12029)can mean a complete lack of connection, an incorrect URL path, a genuine TLS issue, or something else entirely. It would be highly beneficial to catch HTTP status codes (like 404 or 500) or separate network connection failures from SSL/TLS errors to allow for proper debugging.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining this great plugin!

This is connection error, there are no http responses. This usually mean that connection cannot be open to the specified url. Unfortunately, AIMP uses windows api to access the network, I have no details about the issue
