Delete overlapping scrobbles from other apps
I have a similar issue as #140, where I am using Plex's built in scrobble feature to send tracks regardless of where I play them from. This means I have scrobbling disabled for Plexamp, which means missing out on Now Playing (which Plex doesn't support). I can live with this, but what's more annoying is that while Plex is scrobbling, Pano is picking up Google's Now Playing and sending that for maybe 30% of my tracks, which is annoying to clean up. I don't want to disable Google's Now Playing because ambient scrobbling is amazing! Plus I like seeing the app icon for each scrobble, so shifting to Pano for Plexamp would be nice, but I still want that browser and smart TV support from Plex as a fallback. I would love to see an option to automatically delete any scrobbles for the currently playing track, other than the one submitted by Pano. Or alternatively, have Pano delete it's own scrobble and replace it with an official one if it's detected while the track is playing. This would also help with third party and native scrobblers for things like Spotify and YouTube Music. The biggest possible downside I see is accidentally deleting repeated scrobbles from looped tracks.
I don't think it is appropriate to touch scrobbles from other apps. There could be a lot of false positives.
Hmm, I see the concern. If not this approach, then maybe a reactive one: wait until the track is finished and check if it has already been scrobbled before posting? I just had an annoyance where I was listening to music on a flight, and the Pano stuff scrobbled when I landed, but nothing else did.
