foo_enhanced_playcount: Exception making call to last.fm. Returning empty response.

Thanks for this useful component. It works well outside one issue.

I can't get any last.fm scrobbles for tracks that contain certain punctuation characters in their title or album field:

Code: [Select]

This is the error message that shows up in the console:

Code: [Select]

foo_enhanced_playcount: Exception making call to last.fm. Returning empty response.

I see that punctuation is mentioned in the change log, so I'm not sure if this just some problem on my end or not.

That's weird. I haven't seen any issues like this. Can you post the entire URL of the call that is being made to last.fm?

My bad, the problem is definitely on my end. I use foobar2000 under Wine and can't get any scrobbles now. I used a Windows VM before that which worked fine.

Do you happen to have an idea what could be needed to make it work? I have already tried installing .NET framework 2.0/3.0 but that didn't help.

		try {
			response = request->run_ex(url, callback);
			response->read_string_raw(buf, callback);
		} catch (...) {
			FB2K_console_formatter() << COMPONENT_NAME": Exception making call to last.fm. Returning empty response.";
			buf = "{}";
			cacheable = false;
		}

You're in the wrong topic. This component doesn't scrobble. It "retrieves" scrobbles back from last.fm, it doesn't send them.

Yeah, you're right about that But there's something wrong with the playcount too - I've managed to scrobble it with google music, and now I've got this:

Update: mentioned ubove problem comes out to happen only on my old system with Foobar 1.3.2. Today tried on latest Foobar and all works fine. But, maybe it still will be useful in some way.

3 left columns are marc2003's "last.fm playcount sync" plugin, 3 right columns are "enhanced playcount". the lfps dates are exact as the ones on last.fm, while enh-playcount dates has 1 increased minute
