Thanks for this plugin!

Here's a feature request... I don't use the media library, but I play lots of mp3's (mixes I'm working on, band practices, that kind of thing) that I don't want to submit.  Any chance of expanding the "only submit tracks from..." functionality?

What I'd like to see is maybe "Only submit tracks from the following roots", and a list where I could add paths.  I actually only need one path -- the one where all my mp3's are -- but maybe the list would be good for other people.

As it is now, I keep wondering why my last.fm account is so far out of date and it's because I barely ever rescan my media library.

I'm able to handshake correctly, but for some reason I keep getting an error: "Cannot connect to server."  Any ideas why this is happening?

The Last.fm submission servers have been having some problems lately.

Thanks Florian for keeping this up to date.

Would it be possible to assign a menu command to turn scrobbling on and off?  Then we can assign a hotkey/button to it for quick access.

I've been getting this too.  Agh!  I don't want to download the official last.fm software!  My plugin for Yahoo Unlimited Music (yeah I know) still works...  Oh wait no it doesn't. Agh.  Maybe it is just the servers now?

I tried using the official Last.FM client and it didn't really help, sadly.

Ironically it all happened shortly after I bought my subscription which is supposed to give you higher priority when submitting data... oh well ;-)

If anyone can use it successfully again, please post here - thanks!

LastFM submission servers are having trouble right now, I think it's the only reason why you cannot scrobble.

Thanks, glad to hear that. :-)

At least I won't be the only one with distorted weekly stats then... phew... ;-)

I think it may be a good idea to add the LastFM submissions server status link to the first post. It'll most likely cut down the number of false bugs postings here. I suggest to people that they bookmark that link - it comes in handy as the servers tend to go down occasionally.

[edit] By the way... great plugin! Thank-you!
The same except different.

I forgot to add that too... thanks a lot for your great software!! :-)

Oh and... seems like Last.FM staff is mostly off to some festival for the weekend and therefore solutions to the problem (submission server offline/under too high load) might be delayed until monday.

Hi, I'm getting the spam protection trigger message more often now and it's not because of my settings and whatsoever, I think it has to do with v1.3.6 of this plugin (V1.3.5 didn't seem to have this problem).

This is how it's probably caused:
- Plugin caches [because of downtime]
- Plugin submits (but somehow fails to clear the cache, but cache is being shown as empty)
- Plugin resubmits the same songs (then clears the cache - or maybe not, i'm not sure about this, it seems random..) [thus triggering the spam protection message on last.fm]

This isn't much of a problem since tracks are still being scrobbled correctly and I haven't lost any tracks, but submitting the same tracks twice is kind of irritating..

Is anyone having this problem too?

Thanks!
:)

Would it be possible to make it so you have a check box that says "cache songs" and then when you uncheck it, or click that submit cached tracks, it just sends them?

I had the same problem once or twice.  The tracks would be scrobbled but it would say cannot connect or something.  Thus when it went through again, I'd trigger spam protection.

Not sure if it's just this plugin, or an overall problem with the servers.  Given the past status of things, it'd be anyone's guess.

Is there a foobar similar of the last.fm scrobller client version 1.3

The only thing different, really, is that it shows your now playing in the charts...

I've just started getting this somewhat frequently myself (last week or so), and I haven't updated to 1.3.6 yet, so I don't think the new version is the problem...

Hi,

I have a feature request. Can you have an option that makes the plugin only cache but not scrobble?

Thanks

Im getting this error:

Submission failed: bad authorization (retrying in 60 seconds).


Does this have to do something with it:

Status: ONLINE. Also, There are still some minor problems with MBID submission not working. This will be fixed soon.

I just want to third this feature request.
I listen to music at work and would rather not submit tracks through our proxy and don't feel scrobbling is a work related use of the Internet (the forums on the other hand...  ).  Such a feature would allow me to scrobble the tracks I've listened to at work when I get home and would be better than my current solution of using an invalid proxy.

It might also be nice for people who don't want to scrobble on untrusted networks, though I'm thinking most people concerned with that are also concerned with scrobbling in the first place.

Thanks for sharing with us the results of your hard work!

I've been getting this error for a while, too. Restarting foobar helps.

Hi, I have some suggestions for this plugin.

- In the old Last.fm program & Audioscrobbler plugin, songs are submitted once half of it is played. There is no 30 second minimum, nor do you need to play the entire song right till the end. Just half the song.
- I can't "Love" the songs I play, could you add a button to the main interface for this?

Keep up the good work.

Not sure if you wanted this to change or was just pointing it out...

The 30s minimum is defined by the submission protocol, no way to change that. And the songs are submitted at 50% as it is now?

As for the love-thingy... bah! ;) (imo)

Adding on to what was my suggestion:

I found a good way (inspired by the people on the last.fm forums) to not scrobble.

All we have to do is set a "fake proxy" into the proxy dialog of the plugin in peferences.
This way the plugin cannot connect to the net and thus will cache them and not scrobble.
Then when you want to scrobble them, just remove the fake proxy information.
Note: What I meant by a fake proxy is something like in address you type "thisisanonexistantdomain.fdsafdsafdasfasd" .

This can be put in the first post by the way...so there won't be suggestions for a no-scrobble checkbox .

What's the point when foobar stores the time of the played songs?  If you scrobble through a different application or computer, say good-bye to the cache.. and why would you want to delay scrobbling anyway?
