It’s good Add-On, but in my Songbird 0.5pre sometimes don’t send nothing to last.fm.

tgandur

this does not work with 0.4….
please fix it because I do like Songbird but also love last.fm……

TheOneRing

works fine for me Win XP and Songbird 0.4

topdownjimmy

This doesn’t seem to work with special characters. The band Feu Thérèse is submitted as Feu Th?r?se.

Michael Marino

This isn’t working fully for me…
It will send information about what I’m listening to, but won’t scrobble the track. Online it will say I’m “Now Listening” to a song, but once it’s done there’s nothing to show for it.

moshy

I was just curious, was it something in the audioscrobbler protocol that changed or Songbird, that made the old one incompatible all this time? Or did you guys just want to implement it differently this time?

olerik

When i listen to music from my library it records the song two times on last.fm.

And when i’m listening on songs from the iPod library or from the library on my external hdd by using the “iPod Device Support” and “USB mass-storage device” addons it doesn’t record them at all.

(Songbird 0.4)

postkar

If it’s recorded twice, u probably have ur original Last.FM application running. Same goes for iScrobbler or any other app.

jachuo

I have Songbird 0.4 and it’s send nothing to Last.Fm. I’m sure that i write true password and user name. Do you have some ideas?

timo

I have the same problem. Recently listened tracks are shown once, but the tracks are shown twice in the charts. I compared the behavior of the extension and the official Last.fm application with Wireshark. It seems that the extension does not follow the first rule of submission: “The track must be submitted once it has finished playing. Whether it has finished playing naturally or has been manually stopped by the user is irrelevant.”. http://www.audioscrobbler.net/development/protocol/ The submission is done when half of the track has been played. I don’t know if this is causing the problem. I have send the Wireshark traces to last.fm support for comment.

timo

Now I know what is causing the problem. it is the rating parameter in the submission. The official application seems to leave rating empty. I changed the extension in the following way and it works.

--- audioscrobbler.js.orig      2008-02-01 15:41:05.000000000 +0200
+++ audioscrobbler.js   2008-02-01 15:59:46.000000000 +0200
@@ -114,7 +114,7 @@
 audioscrobbler.scrobbleTrack = function(artist, track, album, duration,
                trackNum, startTime) {
        var source = "P";
-       var rating = "L";
+       var rating = "";

        // Can only scrobble if we're logged in
        if (!this.loggedIn())

It is easy to test. Tracks played steps twice with the unmodified extension and once with modified extension.

rodsanchez

If it’s not working with you guys, try to change the option “Block websites from viewing information about media in my Library and devices”, located in the Web Integration tab; Tools > Options.
It worked with me!!

timo

The problem is that submission string is not UTF-8 encoded. To fix this you should change escape function to encodeURIComponent function in audioscrobbler.js

TheOneRing

I don’t know why but since the last update it doesn’t work as good as before so now sometimes it transmit data and sometimes not.

ruin3

Very nice AddOn, scrobbling without any problems for me (at least after rodsanchez’ tip).
Still, I also have this problem with "special" characters, but I, frankly, don’t understand the solution provided by timo…
What exactly can I do so it doesn’t screw up my charts? :D
Thanks in advance for your help.

stevel

thanks Timo. 0.0.4 incorporates your fix.

stevel

ruin3: This should be fixed in the new version (0.0.4) I just uploaded.

ffachopper

I installed it on my 0.4 version recently downloaded, and it doesn’t seem to work.

Hope it get’s a fix soon

Luckyrat

Works great most of the time, even with “Block websites from viewing information about media in my Library and devices” option enabled.

It doesn’t work when playing tracks directly from a USB mass storage device.

Version: 0.0.4
Songbird version: 0.5pre20080305windows-i686-msvc8
USB device: Samsung YH-J70

manonfire4

Worked for me as well, thank you!

Aforb

This is great! I’ve been searching for this for ages (read:days) but it still makes me happy.

Thanks guys and gals :)

cellarmation

I am having one small problem with this add on. Am running songbird on a computer with wifi that cuts in and out. If the internet disconnects then re-connects this addon stops uploading data. (Untill i restart songbird) Is it possible for it to try and reconnect when a network connection is found, or just to periodically re-test for a connection?

stevel

I’ll see if I can implement that in the next update.

Goodearl

Just updated to Songbird 5 and am unable to get the LastFM add-on to work… Will try to send more detailed info, but I am running XP.

Goodearl

Update: My songs are being sent to LastFM and appear properly on my music profile.

They do not appear on the external LastFM widgit (or what ever it is called).

Conclusion: Works wonderful. Now, I wonder if there is an add-on for the Mixi (Japanese social website) music scrobbler…

ersigh

This plug in worked for me for two submissions when first installed. Since it has stopped working. I thought that it was because my connection was dropped (stupid AT&T) but after a restart it didn’t start working. I tried changing settings as suggested in previous comments with no success.

I checked the error log but there are no errors. There are some submission related messages but it APPEARS like things are working fine. There is one message that hints at an issue but I’m not sure if it’s related to the plug in:

“Blocklist::_loadBlocklistFromFile: XML File does not exist.”

I’m using the latest Mac X OS using the latest songbird release and scrobbler plug in.

leon1638

Disappointed that the plugin doesn’t scrobble tracks from a mtp device but only tracks in the main library.

If someone wants to point me in the right direction to fix this I would gladly help.

Pete Popel

Great add-on :) Works fine for me (Win XP).
However, music played from websites (like hypem.com) does not seem to be scrobbled… intended?
(There’s neither requests nor responses in the error console)

Thanks.

Pete Popel

Also, it seems that no songs are scrobbled once the “pause” button has been used. This should rather apply to the single song that has been paused, not to successing songs, right?

hierophantus

Scrobbles from the Songbird library just fine as long as LastFM.exe is not running at the same time. I too would very much like to scrobble when I play songs through Songbird that I have not downloaded yet, but thanks very much for the add-on even without that feature.

necimal

Here there is a scrobbler that works through the official Last.fm client, and supports offline scrobbling etc: http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/1208
peace

GeekShadow

Need to set maxVersion to 0.7pre

cellarmation

This addons is now perfect for my needs (With support for flaky internet connections) My Wifi drops out all the time, but it succeeds in getting the information sent, thanks for the update!

Pete Popel

Hi again, just noticed that the plugin obviously stops scrobbling when one switches Songbird’s feathers to mini media player…

Alex Knobelsdorf

The only thing I miss from the normal Last.FM client is the “Love” button… .-.

Pr1me

It stopped scrobbling for me, first I thought it came because I had 0.8pre but now I'm running 0.7RC2 and the problems are still there. On Last.fm u can see what I'm listening at the moment but it doesn't scrobble. :(

jigarshah

It reads album name / artist name / title from just filename. I think it would be better if it reads from metadata. Most of my songs just have title as file name. Secondly, everyone follows different scheme to define filenames. Here in india its mostly album - title (cos movies has all of these songs. And artists are different)

Pr1me

Forget my comment 4 hours ago, I made a new profile and after some songs it started scrobbling. :D

ianloic

@jigarshah, we scrobble based on metadata, not on filenames - what's your last.fm username?

tezaster

This plugin doesn't work for me for some reason. Windows Vista OS.

tezaster

never mind the last comment. :)

gamepr0

great, thanks for official support in 0.7 :o
great to see the developers spending so much time in the user's wishes.

nunks

Great addon! It even manages to scrobble over my workplace proxy, and they block last.fm...

mj84

Im having the same problem as 'Michael Marino' - I can see the song I play in the 'now playing' section on last fm, but then it fails to log it after that.....any help?

Cloonix

Great addon. But there should be an option that shoutcast streams are not going to be scrobbled.

cron

I love it... even though after the first time I ran Songbird it stopped working.

Same as some people above, Now Playing in my Last.fm profile works, but no songs are scrobbled afterwards. This is an error I got on the Console, maybe someone will know what it actually means :D

Error: [Exception...

carnelain

Great add. Only one question. Can it log in to last.fm at startup?

B_a_l_a_k

I have the same issue as cron, on "enumerate(this._playbackHistory.entries,...".
Should I try disabling other extensions ?

@carnelain : it does log in at startup.

aweller

This just ain't working for me... Similarly to "mj84" and others on my last.fm profile it says "listening now", but fails to log that track after it has finished playing... Any ideas? (I've tried reinstalling, etc.)

aweller

Still not working after much playing around (uninstalling/reinstalling)... It did in version 0.6.x, which must mean it is not a network/firewall-type problem this end. It still just scrobbles "listening now". Will this Add-on be updated to rectify this problem?

aweller

Still not working... Perhaps someone can decipher this (the last.fm things in the error console):

Error: [Exception...

m6arate

ipod scrobbling possible?

aweller

This still isn't working for me (it did in version 0.6.x). Some advice/help would be greatly appreciated...

:(

aweller

Still not working...

Is there a conflict with another Add-on?

I would really like to get this working (can you tell by the number of posts!?) as I rely heavily on last.fm and may migrate away from Songbird if it doesn't.

aweller

Hmmm, this is working now!?!? My workaround - remove ALL Songbird files, hidden 'n' all, in your home or docs and settings directory and start again. I guess there's a problem upgrading from 0.6.x to 0.7...

chocolateboy

@aweller: Thanks!

I had this problem and thought I'd take your solution and see if I could get away with removing slightly less than everything! (Prior to your tip, I'd assumed it was a last.fm problem...)

After a bit of trial and error I discovered that the culprit is the Playback History database e.g. on Linux:

    cd /home/jdoe/.songbird2/pr0f1l3/
    mv db/playbackhistory@songbirdnest.com.db db/playbackhistory@songbirdnest.com.db.old

Then restart songbird, and voila! Back in the land of the scrobbling.

(Then file a bug report with songbird or this extension :-)

cron

@chocolateboy: IT WORKS!

I deleted my Playback History, and i'm happily scrobbling once again. I'm using Windows XP SP3. For those who have the same problem, the location of the file is in this route:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Songbird2\Profiles\XXX.default\db

Then delete "playbackhistory@songbirdnest.com" and start Songbird. Enjoy!

computer_tom

This plugin doesnt work for me, it cant login. could it be caused by my username? computer_tom?

komomaan

The new update scrobbles the track twice...
How come?

Mobleman

It was a bit hard to find where to put in my login info, but found it. :D

joce

Any reason why Shoutcast streams are not scrobbled?

lajevardi

Hey there,
that was working for me since yesterday. but i'm getting "LOGIN FAIL" message now.

Error Log:
[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADTIME", ""]

Any idea?

lajevardi

I've set a proxy server and it works.
audioscrobbler.net is blocked in my country!!

phyr

Works great! But I have to click "Log in to Last.fm.." everytime I start Songbird. Can that be fixed? I'm using SB 0.7.0 and this plugin, on Mac OS Tiger.

Janzomaster

I would really love ipod scrobble support

nikolago

New Songbird user here. The Last.fm addon works perfectly at the present time.

ormandj

The last.fm plugin does not appear to work with shoutcast streams. The songs I listen to do not appear in my played listing, and loving a track on the radio makes the heart go solid for every song on the radio, none of which get entered into my last.fm profile.

Any plans to change this? I hate flash, so if I can get away from being stuck using the last.fm flash player, I'd be enormously happy.

Other than this, no complaints! Works as intended.

Rizzelet

I repeatedly get a "Login Failed" error whenever I try to login using this add-on, but I'm able to login perfectly to the last.fm site when using browser.

Anyone else getting this problem?

weatheredwatcher

Yes...I am having the exact same problem. Didn't have it until I upgraded to the 1.0rc though.

benpage26

I would be nice if you could display a little 'Last Scrobbled' notification on the applet when you right click and it gives you a link to the profile. I use this to check my scrobbling is working.

Lucascampos0

A really nice addon, but I hope that there will be some last.fm options on the Services Panel, allowing to play our recommended radio or our neighbours ones

raylinth

Fantastic app, works great. 1.0.0rc2, Build 842 on Mac.

Wish it would scrobble streaming songs from websites (say hypemachine) - just anything I'm listening to, even if it's not in my library.

tmoenk

I like to use songbird as a site specific browser for last.fm, and I think it would be awesome if this plugin also automagically signed me into the site. ;)

shufan

iPod scrobbling support would really make this add-on. It's the one thing that is keeping iTunes on my computer.

pankrusheff

Can I configure this add-on for lastfm.ru? And how I can do it?

boosh

Yep, iPod scrobbling would be awesome!!!

I was wondering what the trigger is to submit it to the server? Like for the official Last.fm client you can set it anywhere from 50%-100% track length.

jollyb

better solution with the last.fm scrobbler options

Samanathon

I love this plugin! I have a suggestion: Can we add the "Love" & "Ban" icons to Songbird's miniplayer? These icons are perfectly integrated into the main player and I think uses would appreciate not having to expand the mini player just to Love a track.

fcastillo

I have a suggestion/bug to report, everytime I'm listening to a song and I mark it as I love it. Next time I play the song, the heart icon doesn't show me if I have select it before or not. I'd like to find out which ones I've selected before or not.

pipoo

thx for wonderful add-on, but could you add iPod scrobling support... tracks what i listen on iPod commit to the last.fm then I plug my player to the computer....

Rolle

Hello, in Songbird 1.0 I only see "just played", not "now playing" like I used to see (show track while listening it, not after it). What could most likely cause this?

Rolle

Sorry, my bad, it seems to be last.fm-sidebar-related problem. No probs, great plugin!!

Paranoid_Android

How love tracks on Songbird?

jan

i wish it would scrobble after a certain amount of time, just like the original last.fm client. i think it scrobbles after 50% or 4mins minimum. in songbird, i hardly get my mixtapes scrobbled, unless i listen to them til the end.

earthmeLon

Seems this addon is a bit buggy with Now Playing. Sometimes as soon as I play a new track it will update my Now Playing, while other times an entire track will play and it's won't update.

Other than that, thanks :D

berror

The plugin seems to scrobble my songs twice all of a sudden.
Is this a problem of the pugin? Or does it have to do something with the last.fm website?

rex

Last.fm scrobbling support is amazing, unfortunately it doesn't always work. It appears to not be getting the track length from certain tracks played from a website (like hypem.com/popular ). It would be fantastic if I could scrobble tracks I'm listening to without having to download them.

thedonutguy

@berror
Mine started to scrobble track even five times!!! I'm not sure what's happening, but if this doesn't change, I'm gonna have to turn the plugin off :|

thedonutguy

It's good now - restarting Songbird helped.
@Paranoid_Android
To love current track on last.fm click on the heart icon on the right side of the track progress bar (next to the rating)

AutomatedApathy

im a little confused on how to this to work
how do i set up my profile in songbird for last fm?

otturatore

i'm having tracks scrobbled several times, even more than 20...
i have songbird 1.0.0, build 860 with plugin 0.3.3.882
is there any solution?

cvok

I've got the same problem - with many scrobbles of the same song. What's the deal?

skauza

i have a problem with this plugin, this plugin don`t conect to last fm :S help me

HenningStummer

You have to activate your account in this addon first.
Click on the (red) last.fm logo in the bottom right corner of songbird (see screenshot) and enter your user name/pasword.

McFlow

Hi,
First this is a really great plugin. But it seems not to scrobble the songs all the time. With this plugin I often experience the following on my last.fm profile page:
I play song1: It gets displayed correctly on last.fm
I play song2: It gets displayed on my profile page as well
I play song3: It shortly gets displayed on the page but then it gets removed and song2 is displayed instead. Then song3 will never be displayed again... If that happens the scrobbling won't work correctly until I restart songbird. That makes the plugin hardly unusable for me. Can somebody confirm that?

meganmdodge

doesn't work with vista or is there something I'm missing?

photon_man62

McFlow, I have the same problem. Some songs get scrobbled, some don't... really annoying. Also, some songs disappear after a while. This addon is pretty hit and miss, sadly :-(

I'll try the other one.

photon_man62

Now I noticed what's going on. I only noticed NOW that you need to listen to half of a song for it to get scrobbled, lol!

Rolle

Real-time-scrobbling still won't work. I mean the "listening now" -thingy. It just displays just now listened songs, afterwards. I need real-time scrobbling for last.fm-irc-script which uses this realtime-option. It seems that it wasn't a last.fm-sidebar-plugin -related problem. How to fix this?

photon_man62

Ah, the Now Listening thing sometimes doesn't work for me either.

dancelikedavid

I've noticed in the past few days, it is scrobbling like 10+ plays of each song I listen to. The time/date is all the same for each. I'm not stopping and restarting the songs either. I'm listening to an album through and on my page instead of showing 1 play for each song, it shows numerous plays! It used to not do that! Anyone else having this problem, and can it be fixed??

raverbashing

the problem is because it keeps disconnecting so it rly suck.

photon_man62

OK, this keeps scrobbling 2 plays of each song, which takes up all of my "Recently Played" section. Really annoying.

Anyone else have this problem?

Rolle

I have normal scrobbles, it just won't always show real-time scrobbling. It seems this plugin has its own mind, it shows "playing just now" only sometimes, and when reseting playback (stop and then playing again). Btw, if it seems not to scrobble or keep logged in at all, check http://status.last.fm/

headbang

Agree with Rolle. Same here on Ubuntu 8.10 / Songbird 1.1

Rolle

Forgot to say; I'm on OpenSUSE 11.0 / Songbird 1.1.

photon_man62

I have the same problem all the time, Rolle.

I have switched to Last.fm Scrobbling Support (another addon) because of this. This addon is really buggy (often disconnects from the servers, the Now Playing bug, double scrobbles sometimes...)

Rolle

photon_man62: Yeh, me too. Only thing I'm not experienced is double scrobbles, but other than that it seems those bugs are real, I mean real-time-scrobbles and disconnects. I don't want to use Last.fm Scrobbling Support (even if I have it) because it shows "Now playing with Last.fm player". I'm proud of Songbird and I want it to show "Now playing on songbird"...

RobbyRobbyLowLow

I'm having a problem with it saying "An error occurred communicating with last.fm servers" Is it last.fm being loosey goosey?

islacker

Can you please add support for submitting your songbird playlists to your last.fm profile?

Thanks

spongemonkey

I too have been getting mupltiple scrobbles for a single song playing.
One song I listened too earlier today was scrobbled over 30 times! Other anywhere from 10 to 20.
Kinda sucks because it really threw off some of my stats, but oh well. Looks like I won't be using that function anymore.

Pepou

The plugin keeps disconnecting very often.
It would be very useful if this plug in remembers what we have been listening and updates to our last.fm profile when it connects on the internet.

Is it possible ?

veritasnoctis

Does this extension really have offline caching now, as the description says, so that played songs get saved for scrobbling when we go back online? When was this added? I don't see it in the version history. This feature is the only reason I've been using the other Last.fm extension, but that extension seems to be having compatibility issues with the Ubuntu-repository version of Songbird. Also, what happened to the status bar time-to-scrobble feature mentioned early in the version history?

wire_wax

love the radio support

looking forward to seeing now/in the future:
-Offline scrobbling
-Time-to-scrobble timer

...as Veritasnoctis said.

stevel

@wire_wax: It should already do offline scrobbling...

Hiromacu

Wow!!! This Last.fm Radio stream without using the web browser is a very good idea! Unfortunately most of the times it needs too much time to load a station even if I have high speed internet. Sometimes I have to wait and wait and wait.....and nothing happen. But sometimes it works pretty fast. Weird!
Anyway...I ad 5 stars! :P

HenningStummer

Yeah, the last update is awesome! Now I can hear my lastfm music with my favorite music software.
Too bad you can't vote with 7 starts ;-)

Alex

Really bad news for non-usa, english or german people ...

(http://blog.last.fm/2009/03/24/lastfm-radio-announcement)

"Today we’re announcing an upcoming change to the way Last.fm Radio works in some parts of the world. In the United States, United Kingdom and Germany, nothing will change.

In all other countries, listening to Last.fm Radio will soon require a subscription of €3.00 per month. There will be a 30 track free trial..."

dionad

A specialized containment unit made of as-yet-discovered synthetic materials will need to be constructed to contain the sheer awesomeness of what this plug-in has become. Thanks Steve.

Hiromacu

@Alex: This is sux!! :(
I live is Canada so I have to pay monthly if I want to listen last.fm radio after March 30. Not because of the money (monthly 3EUR not a big deal), but because of the matter of principle. I can live without last.fm, but I'm sad because this great add-on what you made.

SirSid

I guess all users will need a subscription to use third party streaming on PCs in future too according to a forum post at last.fm

Alex

@Hiromacu

It's not for this moment, but (when it will be active) I think to try a proxy in USA, UK or german to connect lastfm ;-)))

Slate8

Yaay radio streaming. Great work and congrats to all involved!

thomasroten

Anyone else have to type their password and username in every time they restart Songbird?

Vital

last.fm radio is really good! Tx a lot!!

alvareo

Hey man,

It would be awesome if you fixed some things related to offline mode:
1. When offline, scrobbling can't be disabled
2. When offline, there's a limit of scrobbles in the cache, and then it stops "remembering" other played tracks.

Thanks,

Alvaro

radicalpi

Anybody else having problems signing in? I just did a clean install of vista, reinstalled Songbird and this add-on. Now, when I type in my username and password, I get a message: "Login Failed". I know my password is correct, because I can log into Last.fm site.

aniol

I have the same problem as thomasroten:
I have to type the password and username in every time they restart Songbird. :(

Slate8

Love the new streaming stuff but when I click the Last.fm icon in the left pane and the radio screen is displayed, is there any way that the bottom pannel (mashtape in my case) could stay expanded? Currently it is hidden but it would be useful to get the mashtape info for the current playing artist.

aniol

Don't worry the problem I said, is resolved. I'm really stupid cause I had activated "clean password" when close Songbird. :(

sneakypete

The last update is amazing - thanks!!

M1st3rmarbl3s

iPod scrobbling would be good.

wasframed

Why doesn't the last.fm radio appear on my Linux (Ubuntu) laptop? It's there on my Windows PC.

spazz

Hey guys! This is a very good lastfm implementation! I really like the lastfm radio features.

But, please, add a feature/option to exclude specific folders and files from being scrobbled automatically. (like podcasts or anything individual) If winamp can, then you can do it, too!

Rolle

I get this every once in a while in error log:

epiq.sty

i can't login on last'fm - login fail every time with various accaounts - how i can debug it, or solve this problem???

manchelster

It seems like a few other people are having the same issue as I am: I can't log on. I don't receive an error message, nothing happens at all. When I bring up Error Console, it says there are errors with lines 106 and 464.
I'm using ver. 1.1.2 on Vista.

A solution is much awaited. Thanks in advance.

Jimmy Keys

Apparently I've scrobbled about 10,000 tracks in just over one week. A look at my recent history shows some tracks being scrobbled 2, 3 even up to 20 times.
I'm using Songbird 1.1.2, Build 1042; Last.fm addon 0.4.0.1033; and the "Last.fm friends" addon.

Mr_Hym

I had the problem with tracks being troubled twice as well. It turned out that I had both last.fm add-ons installed and enabled at the same time, so the track got scrobbled through both. Just disable/uninstall one of them in the add-ons box, or exit the standalone app, or click the icon in the status bar, and it should work fine.

euphonic

This might just be nitpicking, but is there anyway you could fix the horrible, pixelated Last.fm logo at the top of the radio pages? Here's a link to what it looks like (to me) as well as a replacement image which fixes the problem:

appsciguy

I've got the same problem that Manchelster describes above (won't login, last.fm extensions unresponsive). I'm also using 1.1.2 on Vista.
Just a guess, but could this have been caused by the last songbird update?

yakuko

Great addon, love that I can listen to last.fm with Songbird. However, I have a few suggestions:
- Support for the new combo station feature
- Having the tag, shared, playlist buttons next to the love and ban ones.
- Also the ability to access said buttons while in the mini-player mode.
Thanks for all the great work!

ruipenunes

This is a really, really great add-on. It's a pitty that I can't use it anymore, because of last.fm's restrictions towards anyone living outside of the USA, UK and Germany.

I've already reported this situation on get satisfaction: http://gsfn.us/t/3spu

So far I haven't had any question, so I'm insisting here.

My question is if SB can do anything about this situation?

I ask this because last.fm mentions something on their blog. They say: "Updating developers using our Radio API: third-party apps that stream Last.fm Radio will have full access to the Radio API, so streaming will work provided the user that logs in is a subscriber. (All other APIs remain free/unchanged)".

Can someone say anything about this?

Thanks!

topdownjimmy

I'd love to see this add-on made configurable to work with Libre.fm:

Seb

I have a problem with 1.2 beta with lastfm addon : when I add a tag for a song, it don't synchronise with my profile. Other settings works fine.
I use french language.

Thks for your help

jamestm

Hello.

Could someone please confirm, if you have an _ (underscore symbol) within your Last.fm user I.D. this extension work? I am unable to log into the account via the add-on and I am trying to track down the problems.

Thanks...

jamestm

Problem resolved. I have a new account minus the underscore, but the issue was due to...

"Last.fm cannot authorise any scrobbling! :(
It appears your computer disagrees with us about what the time is.
If you are sure the time is right, check the date is correct and check your timezone is not set to something miles away, like mars.
We're sorry about this restriction, but we impose it to help prevent scrobble spamming."

My new computer had the wrong date by one day...

HenningStummer

Don't know why, but with the most current versions of Songbird (1.2) and this plugin, my last.fm streams stop playing after a few songs. Didn't notice it with the versions before?!

vandarin

I can confirm, this plugin + Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146, plays 5 songs on a last.fm stream then stops.

aresnick

+1 on Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030052) + this plugin = last.fm stream stops after a few songs.

dexotaku

Newest version under 1.2.0 won't "love" tracks any more.

krasnal

Recently last.fm made an "improvement" and stops playing, after some time, asking user to click on "resume" button on the popup because they "don't want the music to fall upon deaf ears" (or something like that) - that is observed on firefox, songbird just stops playing.

So I'd like to ask for an improvement in this add-on. Why don't you track user activity (just like various IM clients do) and automatically restart playing of radio station if the user is active and last.fm has disconnected by itself - if the user has been inactive and comes back to "life" then he can restart radio by himself.

Nearly all the time I use computer for work and I like to have some music in the background (some radio station on last.fm) and often (when I'm busy) do not realize for some time that music stopped playing, then I have to switch to firefox/songbird to restart radio.

That would be nice improvement - at least IMHO :)

brudaswen

ENTITY lastfm.radio.subscriber.help is missing in german (maybe more) locale. Gives me a parsing error.
When fixing this error locally, I am although not able to listen to a radio stream.

martin_bighomer

I have the same error!!! :-(

Quastor

Wait, why am I being told that I can't listen to Last.fm radio through Songbird now? The link to the blog post states that free radio will continue in the US.

Jeslimak

Getting the lovely 'subscribers only' thing even though I'm in the US...

stopthemjah

Hey, version 0.4.2.1161 don't let me log in....i'm using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043) what should i do?

hellocatfood

If you listen to last.fm radio through an external client i.e. any other than the official one, you have to be a subscriber, otherwise it wont work. If you're in the US, UK or any other countries that last.fm allows unlimited streaming you can listen through their official client or through their website.

I don't think there's any way around this.

nortexoid

The last.fm add-on is lame. Why does it not allow one to list to their recommended, etc. lists? I can do this from other players without being a subscriber (e.g. Rhythmbox). Also, I'm in the UK and so the stupid thing should work without having to be a subscriber.

scriptdaemon

+1 to "I'm from the US so I should be able to use the radio."

hellocatfood

If anyone is having problems connecting to last.fm since they upgraded please read here http://blog.last.fm/2009/04/22/radio-subscriptions

lammoth123

can you add something that add's 'loved' tracks to the metadata of the file or somewhere else in songbird library so that we can get the songs we loved easily instead of referring to the last.fm profile?

chocolateboy

Same as stopthemjah. Can't login to last.fm with Songbird 1.2.0 and last.fm 0.4.2.1161.

Error console says (many times):

    [last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]

Ragna

Songbird 1.2.0 plus Last.fm 0.4.2.1161 won't let me log in.

Same error as above:

[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]

Rolle

This is so great, but have you not yet fixed the delay? After couple of plays "Listening now" in Last.fm is "Just now" -listened, so it scrobbles one track behind, not in real time as it's supposed to scrobb. This is very annoying when using scripts that use last.fm's real time option, last.fm irssi nowplaying script for instance. This bug is currently on both linux (opensuse 11) and windows (xp sp3) machines. Please fix this! Thanks.

stopthemjah

well.... i install a old version of Songbird [1.1.2, Build 1042 (20090331142126)] and install the Last.fm plugin, it's work fine now, but with the songbird update stops working. i'll keep that old version for a while.

phasetwenty

I'm having the same issue as the others.

[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]

LiederVogel

similar problem as scriptdaemon - except i'm not in the us but in germany.

Anyway. I should be able to listen to last.fm radio without a subscription. but it won't stop asking me for paying...

Seb

I'm shocked.
I have read this :
" NOTE: LAST.FM RADIO IS NOW FOR LAST.FM SUBSCRIBERS ONLY, see Last.FM's blog post for more information."
but I do not understand now why we can not access any page in last.fm songbird.
I understand that we can not access the radio but I do not understand why we are denied access to everything.
I noted that this 5-star addon, I decommissioning 1 star for not zero..

LiederVogel

In addition to my last comment...

similar problem as scriptdaemon - except i'm not in the us but in germany. Anyway. I should be able to listen to last.fm radio without a subscription. but it won't stop asking me for paying...

...I have to state more precisely:

I can listen to Last.fm Radio via website WITHOUT a subscription (since I'm in Germany).

BUT if I log in via Songbird and try to listen to Last.fm Radio, the plugin demands me to subsribe.

<u>Maybe geolocating doesn't work with Songbird?</u>

Switched to alternative: Last.fm scrobbling support addon and working but your addon is much better please fix the problem with logoin.

zk7

I realize that Last.fm has introduced a subscription service for those not in the mentioned countries.
But can't the addon still play without subscription for those of us in the US, UK or Germany? As mentioned in the addon notes - it geolocates by IP to country - so it knows where the it is being accessed from.

HenningStummer

I can't log in, too.
Strange ... at work I have no problems with your plug in?!

raamklaza

This plugin isn't working for me anymore. for a while now, but forgot since which version.

I am running songbird 1.2 and 0.4.2 from Last.fm

The icon is there on the bottomright, but when i click / rightclick on it nothing happens.

When i use the menu, login / logout nothing happens. Nothing is shown.

Only thing i can do i turn on and off scrobler but it doesn't work :(

Can someone help me out a bit?

Angryman

I cant play songs neither... But i live in germany??

jgoerzen

What's up with not being able to play songs? I'm in USA, and Rhythmbox still plays last.fm radio just fine.

stevel

@brudaswen, @martin_bighomer: Apologies, due to a translation error on my part,
it's broken on locales for users who aren't Last.fm subscribers. I'm awaiting t
ranslations now and should hopefully have a new version pushed in a week or so.

@Quastor, @Jeslimak, @nortexoid, @scriptdaemon, @LiederVogel, @zk7, @jgoerzen: hellocatfood is right - even if you live in the US, UK, or Germany - in order to listen to Last.fm through Songbird (utilising the Last.fm Radio APIs), you must be a subscriber. The free radio listening is *only* for if you listen through their web interface (i.e. go to http://last.fm and browse around and click the 'play radio' links). Other players may be using their old radio API, but (AFAIK), that is an unsupported API now.

@Seb: What do you mean by "can not access any page in last.fm songbird"?

@stopthemjah, @chocolateboy, @Ragna, @phasetwenty: This is strange.. can you tel
l me your Last.fm usernames (you can email them to stevel@songbirdnest.com if yo
u want to keep them private) so I can try and figure out what's wrong?

To everyone: Apologies for not replying to your comments earlier - for some reason I wasn't getting the RSS feed of the comments for this add-on. :( I'm monitoring it now and will hopefully be more responsive now.

I've experienced exactly the same thing as lucasmuzel. (last.fm user: stavfel)

kopfkind

For all those having the login issue ("BADAUTH") I suggest reverting to the previous version of this plugin (0.4.1.1146) instead of using the latest (currently 0.4.1.1161). Scrobbling works fine in that older version for me. You can find it here:

http://addons.songbirdnest.com/addon/106/versions

(as linked in the right column navigation besides the version number as 'version history').

The other last.fm scrobbler pluging requires the last.fm client application to be installed and running in order to scrobble your tracks (which this plugin does not).

Cheers,
kopfkind

HenningStummer

Thanks kopfkind. It works for me with the previous version...

agheno

Is there any way to automatically scrobble love/hate based on my star ratings?

I've been using songbird's 5-star rating system to rate my songs but I also want this same information to show up in my last.fm profile. Right now this means I have to click 5-star and heart if I love a song or 1-star and ban if I hate it. What I'd like to do is simply click a star rating and have it register as a love/ban depending on the rating. It seems like this feature is easy to implement so I'm wondering if it is already there and I overlooked something.

raamklaza

I tried installing the older version but still same problem :(

Raspu

If you look at the source of the plugin its easy to disable the "Not Subscriber" message, it wont let you listen online music (may be if you are at the US it will..) but you can use all the other stuff. (REMEMBER: XPI = ZIP, JAR = ZIP, all the logic its at the dot JS files).

shahab_odin

whats wrong with radio streaming of last.fm...?
Im in uk and used to be able to play the radios in my kubuntu by amarok....
but here it says its jus for subscribers....
something seems to be wrong with the addon...right?

fyi, Version: Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043)
OS: XP

CaptainEvilStomper

This isn't working for me in OS X using Songbird 1.2.0. When I click the Last.fm Radio section it tells me that it's only for subscribers, even though I'm in the US. I can see the list of stations if I go to the website, but then if I try to play any stations it tells me that "there was a problem starting this station". I can still play individual tracks on the website, but that's it.

sawkey

Why do I have to subscribe to Last.fm to use the Last.fm radio on this plugin?

zelosity

I totally agree with sawkey. It's a step into the wrong direction. I still want to use Songbird for listening to last.fm's radio stations even if I am not a subscriber (anymore).

But using the current version of the plugin forces me to subscribe again. Can't we have back the old plugin which doesn't use the API? Or can me someone point to the source line where I can disable the last.fm API for myself? I know, it may not be that easy... ;)

With Firefox (and other browsers) I still can listen to the stations without being a subscriber.

Friends, that doesn't make sense, does it?
Thank you!

stevel

You can still listen for free using their web interface, just open a browser tab and go to last.fm and listen to radio there. It won't play using any of Songbird's controls though, since it doesn't use the API.

In order to use the radio API, you *need* to be a Last.fm subscriber. Again, this is out of our control... this is a decision Last.fm made, so there's no point complaining about it here.

zelosity

Sorry stevel, but this isn't correct and really doesn't work -- at least for me (still not a last.fm subscriber) and there is no change for a long time now.

Case 1: If I go http://www.last.fm/listen and try to start a station, the page displays "Oops, there was a problem starting this station. Please try again" on a yellowish background, while the Songbird player (I mean the player at the bottom of Songbird) displays "Loading last.fm station" for some seconds and also a progress bar. Then the message and the bar disappears and nothing happens.

Case 2: If I go, say http://www.last.fm/music/Depeche+Mode and try to "Play Depeche Mode Radio", Songbid player behaves as described above (message and bar), nothing else.

Case 3: If I go, say http://www.last.fm/music/Depeche+Mode/_/Enjoy+the+Silence, I can play this single song right on the page via the flash player in the upper right corner.

If I disable the plugin, all goes well, except for scrobbling, which is perfectly clear having the plugin disabled. ;)

So, what do you think is the problem? Is it my problem alone? Aren't these signs that in case 1 & 2 Songbird makes use of the API?

The other day I tried one of the older versions of the plugin with Songbird 1.1.2 and it worked with no problems (as far as I do remember -- will further investigate if you want me to do so). Unfortunately they are not compatible with Songbird 1.2. Umm, I could stick with 1.1.2 but... you know.

Btw, thank you for Songbird which I really love and prefer over many other music players, even Winamp!

zelosity

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am using Last.fm-plugin version 0.4.2.1161.
And I've seen just now, that there are two newer versions available, but they seem to be versions for Songbird's 1.3 RCs.

tmacher

In new version of the addon nothing has been fixed about the problem with login to the lastfm service-and dammed I don't want to lisen to their dame radio I just want to scrobble my track to my account without any problem is this so hard to understand from developers?

stevel

@zelosity: Can you try the XPI at http://whacked.net/scratch/audioscrobbler-0.4.4pre+dev-200907281814.xpi
It's the latest one for the 1.3 nightlies, I've just adjusted it to be compatible with 1.2 as well. I tried reproducing your cases 1, 2, & 3 (btw - thanks for the clear steps, that makes my life much easier with respect to trying to reproduce bugs) and if I'm logged in as a subscriber it plays via the API, and if I'm logged in as a non-subscriber, it plays via the flash applet just fine. If you're already logged in when you install the XPI and restart, you may need to explicitly log out and log back in to clear all the session cookies from any older version of the add-on.
Please let me know if that version works for you... it's what we'll be shipping imminently with 1.3.

@tmacher: Software development and debugging is hard. Your ignorant and pissy attitude makes it even harder. kthxbai.

Breadcleaner

Installed and scrobbles fine, but when I try to play the radio through Songbird it errs. I log in to my Last.FM account through Songbird, it wants me to subscribe! I have no such problem running Last.FM through Firefox, as I live in the US, one of the countries exempted from the fee. Is the fee only in place for Songbird use?

zelosity

@stevel: Yippee-Yeah, radio is back! :) Thank you for the updated plugin! I will keep testing and reporting if any other issues occur to me. Thanks again!

@Breadcleaner: We (stevel, me) were talking about Last.fm's radio located here: http://www.last.fm/listen (which is part of last.fm's web pages), not about the recently introduced left hand navigation entry in Songbird (see: Radio > Last.fm), which you possibly meant/tried. For the latter you still need to be a subscriber. But that's what Last.fm decided to change/introduce, not Songbird's developers, afaik.

Decktoplasm

Can't sign-in through the normal means. Enter login details and hit it, but it just hangs, and won't ever go past "logging in...".

Only reason I can think of is that I'm running off a mobile connection and this somehow jiggers it. Other than this my Songbird experience so far has been topnotch, only redownloaded a few days ago since I had it in 2007 and it now seems to kick a LOT more ass.

tomrossi

I had reverted to last.fm add-on build 1146 when radio stopped working and that fixed it -- until today. Has last.fm closed that door or this perhaps just transient?

tmacher

@stevel
oh finally somebody answered my cry.I'm sorry about that my post had to be so ignorant but it did it-it mange to turn your attention. I really did not want this but i though that users with the problem like mine were omitted and you only focused on the radio api problem-but now I see I was wrong. Keep up god work

stevel

@tomrossi: The old API seems to be flaky... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... since Last.fm isn't supporting it anymore, there's not much to be done about it. :( You'll have to either use the web interface to listen to radio or pay for a subscription and use the new Last.fm Radio API support in the new builds.

tomrossi

Thanks stevel. I continue to try to stream radio with the old build but I think it's more than flakiness. Hasn't worked for at least a week now. That's a shame. I really liked the Songbird integration.

You guys are doing a great job. Ignore the whiners.

Tom

Piki

So apparently if I'm not subscribed to Last.fm, I can't use the Last.fm radio in Songbird?
I can stream the radio normally because I live in the US but not through Songbird. If I do it through Songbird it asks me to subscribe.

stevel

Piki: Yup. You can continue to stream the radio through Last.fm's web player (by simply opening a browser tab to http://www.last.fm), but if you try to use the integrated player which utilises Last.fm's API, you need to be a subscriber.

stopthemjah

so... the last version (0.4.2.1161) don't let me log in, a older version (0.4.1.1146) keep given me "Login Failed" message. What should i do??? I'm using Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043).

rush5891

stopthemjah: same problem

stopthemjah

errr.... that's very simple, but check your system date. it works to me.

osq

hmmmm...
Just noticed that Last.fm won't scrobble artists starting with special characters. In this case [re:jazz]. The problem seems to go away, if I edit the artist metadata to re:jazz or even re:jazz], but I think that's kind of annoying... Any chance of this getting fixed or is this a last.fm (site) problem?

Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043)
Last.fm 0.4.2.1161

luke125281

It would be a nice option to only scrobble tracks in certain playlists. Having to manually turn off the scrobbler when listening to an audiobook gets annoying, and forgetting mucks up profiles. Besides, I usually get full albums, not just singles, so I can try all the songs out. It'd be nice to set only certain tracks to scrobble. For example, 4 and 5 stars only. Basically, a scrobbler playlist with standard filters.

Anyway...

A basic plugin is better then none at all. I got sick of iTunes, switched to Winamp, got pissed again, and found Songbird. It has issues to work out, but I like it, and an open source means it will only get better. Thank you for volunteering your time and code.

Hooray for cross-platform! I'm on my way Linux!

tgilbert328

Hi guys,

I use this Songbird/Last.fm plugin on both my Windows Vista and my Ubuntu 9.04 home computer. Works pretty good, however I have an annoyance that I am not sure how to address.

In my Linux version when using Last.fm, everytime a song finishes and a new one begins, if the window is minimized, it maximizes itself. Only happens in the Linux version- could you possibly add it to the preferences to prevent this behavour? Thanks.

Tim

passenger

I was using it for a while and everything was perfect until a couple days ago. Songbird just stopped scrobbling even when I have the "enable scrobbling" checked (in the tools menu). Also, nothing happens when I click the log in to or log out of last.fm options. It never asks me for my username or my password.

I've tried everything! I re-installed both songbird and last.fm add-on, and I still have the same issue.

I don't care that much about the radio streaming since I am able to listen to it through the web interface of songbird.

George

jonny87

Great addon..really like it.

one problem tho...Iv downloaded version 1146 as this is the version of songbird I have. Scrobbling works fine now. But if I do into last.fm in the browser, or by using the radio link (radio->last.fm) and then click to listen to a radio station, nothing happens. Songbird says "loading last.fm station" at the top where songs normally play but it never plays :(

I also downloaded another version of your addon (think it was a more recent one) and songs played from last.fm radio staions but scrobbling didnt work as I could log in!! lol

Thanks

Mine stopped working so I downgraded to version 0.4.1.1146. Scrobbling works but not the radio.

HenningStummer

Version 0.4.1.1146 doesn't let me log in too...

Now I can log in, but the delay is still not fixed. My last comment about this:

"This is so great, but have you not yet fixed the delay? After couple of plays "Listening now" in Last.fm is "Just now" -listened, so it scrobbles one track behind, not in real time as it's supposed to scrobb.

Songbirds standard scrobblingtool doesn't work for me, so i thougt i'd install this one.
So i installed this via songbirds browser, it tells me to restart the program, i do as i am told, still no scrobbling...

HenningStummer

I just found out something interesting:
I've installed the latest version of songbird (1.2.0.1146) and last.fm (0.4.2.1161) on my desktop and my laptop. On my laptop (Win Vista), the scrobbling works; but on my desktop (Win XP, SP3) the addon doesn't log in....
Anyone with the same experience?

Could it be that last.fm decided to change something on their end regarding the login process or did I break something (I tried the latest overnight build to see if it stopped giving me bogus Folder Management errors. It did but I hated the lack of add-on support, so decided to rollback to the current 1.20 release).

Catch_33

i have the same problem...i can't login on lastfm and i can't log in lastfmradio also on songbird, it just continue to try connection without stopping, but it doesn't log in...this is the message of error console:

[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]

jpl

Same thing for me. The add-on just stopped working yesterday with no apparent reason.

This app sucks. It no longer works. I click a station I want to play but it just says loading last.fm station. I think you have to be a subscriber. Screw Last.fm, Ruining a perfectly good plug in. I uninstalled it. Hopefully they will realize the errors of their way. I know I can open a tab and go to last.fm site but thats besides the point.

bugmenotsongbird

i had the same problem and here is my solution.
- i 've dowloaded the latest version of the addon (0.4.4.1284)
- opened it with winrar
- opened the "install.rdf" with notepad
- then set the minVersion to 1.2.0
- saved everything and draged the file in the songbird addons
- after the restart of songbird i can now scroble again

no chrashes until yet, i just tested scrobling
hope this helps someone

HenningStummer

Nice tipp bugmenotsongbird! I did what you said, and now I can scrobble again!!
Thanks alot.

@Songbird: Since we don't have issues with this "min version hack", how about releasing an official version with a min version of 1.2.0. Particularly since this is the newest official version of Songbird...

bassam904

Does this Plugin support offline Scrobbling and does it scrobble on 50% or 100%
And is it available on the 1.4 version

ipott

Hi there. I have problems with the addon.

1st... If i start SB (1.4b3) last.fm won't logvin automatically.
2nd... I reinstalled SB. If I have a loved or banned song the symbol isn't activated.

LucidStrike

It seems that I have to subscribe to use the Last.FM playlist in Songbird . I can normally just stream on Last.fm without subscribing. What gives? =/

ziggypink

any idea when this little app will update playcounts from a synced ipod or mp3 player?
love lastfm & dont want to lose all my playcounts when im on the move listening to my ipod =]

kryptonbornson

Needs to only scrobble the first artist. In WMP only the first artist before the semi-colon is scrobble which is a beautiful way of handling it. That way I don't have to put "featuring" in the song title. Songbird change the semi-colon+space into a "/" and all the artists and slashes get scrobbled.

lovely-package

I can't scrobble and 'love' certain tracks any more. What could be the problem? A DRM issue?

fwhamm

Some time ago I updated to Songbird 1.2. Recently I noticed no entry for Last.fm shows up below "Radio" (SHOUTcast does) although scrobbling seems to work. I updated to 1.4.0.b3 but nothing changed. The Last.fm icon for logging out / in in the lower right corner works.

I deinstalled Songbird and deleted all profile information but still Last.fm doesn't show up belowa Radio after new fresh installation.

Any hints?

stevel

@fwhamm - Yeah, the Last.fm Radio node only shows up now if you are a subscriber (since you have to be a Last.fm subscriber in order to listen to radio via the API now)

fwhamm

@stevel thanks for the information. I thought they changed this to many countries but not for US, UK and Germany.

Thinking about subscribing because I like the service a lot - but subsciption could be a little less than 36 Euro / years ...

fretrunner

unfortenately this addon wont work. when i choose it in the left panel, i get an error message:

other addons (mediaflow, lyricmaster etc.) woks fine and i am logged in with my last.fm account. thanks & greez from germany

xand

Is it possible to add keyboard shortcuts for love/ban/tag tracks ?

fcastillo

@stevel - What about the people that leave in US? We can listen to the radio without paying for subscription. The addon already geolocates my IP address to show me the popular artist in my country. Why not use this to decide is the radio panel should be display or not?
I don't plan to subscribe because I'm in the US

lammoth123

anyway of hooking up the ratings system with love/ban tracks?

lammoth123

also any way of adding loved track detail to metadata of the song?

mede

really nice add on.
it would be absolutely top if it would have the possibility to save the streamed songs from lastFm radios. somethink like TheLastRipper.

saveall

I'm a LastFM subscriber and the radio player does not show up for me. I believe this started with the latest build. It always previously showed up.

Version: Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090616030043)

dabster

This add on seems to be broken with songbird 1.4.3, its not loggin me in to last.fm, it stops at connecting.. anybody else seeing this issue..

Brvis

I've got the same problem as dabster. I'm not getting logged in.

Atomox

@dabster @Brvis Same for me, but only on my win 7 machine. My XP build at work is logging in fine.

Brvis

@Atomox: I'm having the problem on Vista...

KKK

That is cool!

maestro

I do really love this addon, it is the one of the best things and sometimes main reasons I use Songbird. Only thing that has been bothering me for a couple of weeks, is that after playing 4-5 songs on Last.fm in Songbird, it suddenly stops, which is kinda a big bummer. If anyone knows a workaround of this, will be very useful. Other than that, this is my favorite addon for Songbird.

KNT

For me it dosen't work also (Songbird 1.4.3).
This is what I've got from netstat (each '==' is a 2 second wait, the 195.24.233.53 is an Last.fm IP):

justin007827

Hey all, I installed this add-on and although the scrobbling works fine, I do not seem to have any support for the intigrated player features in Songbird. If some would could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Justin

andrewabogado

Hi everyone,

I'm using Songbird 1.4.3 with Last.fm 1.0.0.1430 installed. I can't seem to login to Last.fm using this extension. Scrobbling doesn't work and the rotating image continues to rotate like it never ends.

I look forward on the fix for this.

Thank you very much in advance.

Andrew

Charles7

Doesn't login for me either

andrewabogado

I uninstalled songbird and by accident I re-installed an old version, 1.2.0., which is working very fine with last.fm add-on version 1.0.0.1430. I guess the add-on isn't compatible with the latest version of Songbird. But that's just a guess. :)

Now I'm happy scrobbling again.

junglistric

^^ Cool - is there any way to get 1.2.0?

Beastly

Yeah... Radio still doesn't work. Is this just me?

7th

Just thougt id say that this doesnt work with latest songbird, id be happy if you let me know when it does, either through here or post a comment on my blog.
http://th7th.wordpress.com
The blog is in swedish but i think the page itself should be in english.

touringlonewulf

same problem as many above...
since update from 1.2.?? to Songbird 1.4.3, Build 1438
no loggin in any more.
sad!

stevel

Are you guys seeing any error messages pertaining to Last.fm in the error console? None of us have been able to reproduce this failure to login here. :(

fcastillo

I have a quick question. After a lot debate, I'm going to buy the subscription to last.fm I really need it :)
But the only thing I want to make sure is that the radio panel will show up after I register... I'm only subscribing because I want to have the radio bar under radios or anywhere it is now.

touringlonewulf

no, there are no error messages, it just doesn't do anything.
clicking on log on, a status bar shows up and the icon is animated. and this just goes on and on...
I'm not sure, but few days ago I wanted to know my IP Adress and gave a wrong command. and some connections were on "wait" maybe it's the last.fm connection???

stevel

Try doing the following:
1. Go to http://www.last.fm/settings/applications/ and remove the "Songbird Last.fm Support".
2. Log out of http://www.last.fm
3. Log out of the Last.fm scrobble support in Songbird (Tools>Log out of Last.fm)
3. In Songbird, go to Preferences>Privacy>Show Cookies
4. Filter on "last" and remove every Last.fm related cookie (note: if you're outside of the US, they may be under other domains, e.g. lastfm.fr for example)
5. Try logging in again: Tools>Log into Last.fm

If that still doesn't work, then please let me know the following:
1. What country are you in?
2. What version of the Last.fm add-on are you using?
3. What version of Songbird are you using?
4. What platform are you on?
5. What locale are you using (if not the default English-US)
6. In the http://www.last.fm/settings/applications page, did the "Songbird Last.fm Support" application get added?

harris4got

Hello, I followed the steps, cleared all cookies relating to last.fm & then tried logging into last.fm using 'Tools>Log into Last.fm'
 but still shows
[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]

Rightnow, I'm in India using plugin 0.4.2.1161 & Songbird 1.2.0, Build 1146 (20090623145010) on linux i686 with default English-US locale and no songbird didnt get added to applications list of last.fm.

Now I'm updating to songbird 1.4.3 to give it one more try.

touringlonewulf

@stevel
It worked!
Thanks for the help!
Can you tell me what was wrong?

bedake

I was recently experiencing a problem very similar to those who posted recently. I attempted the fix stevel suggested with no success.

The way i managed to fix this was by
 
1. uninstalling songbird
2. then deleting my user profile that is not removed after an uninstall located in: C:/users/username/appdata/roaming/songbird2
3. reinstall

I hope this helps!

amras_C

still doesn't work... :( I even tried to downgrade it but it doesn't work anymore.
Need some help!

HalationEffect

After upgrading Songbird from v1.1.2 to v1.4.3 (platform: Ubuntu 8.10), the Last.FM addon wouldn't login (it worked fine before). Stevel's suggestion made no difference at all, I had to do the same as Bedake did before the addon could login to Last.FM again.

extremeuser3

Cant login via songbidr, but can login via web browser !!!

fcastillo

I have a problem with this add-on... I have a subscription, but inside the radio page, there use to be 3 sections... a user stations, from songbird and from last.fm
Now I can't see the "from last.fm" I've cleared my cookies, I've erased songbird from my applications on last.fm, but nothing... I use to love that feature because I could see my friends there and other stuff. Is that a bug? What's going on?

rosencrantz

was getting the same error message as Harris4got (iirc). Tried Stevel's suggestion, no luck.

Then. noticed that 'accept third party cookies' was unchecked. tried checking it, login worked immediately.

guessing that might be why some people got it to work when trashing user profile, accepting all cookies might be the default setting.....

My Addon won't scrobble tracks?
I'm logged into last.fm fine,
Scrobble my tracks is checked and enable scrobbling is checked in tools
I listened to a bunch of songs but none appear on my profile as "Now Playing" and the songs I listened to last night haven't showed up
Anyone have any ideas about this?

Nevermind
Of course right after I posted that it started working

Please, make same add-on for Libre.fm or add Libre.fm support on this add-on !

sasy360

can this add-on scrobble played tracks from a supported gadget like philips gogear?

RFiD

@rosencrantz, @dalesd: I also found that I had to enable third-party cookies in order to be able to login.

Could the last.fm addon check for cookie permissions, instead of just waiting indefinitely to login?

Love song function doesn't work. I have to open a last.fm tab and choose love song so addon doesn't work with all functions.

Atomox

I am seeing this in 1.4.3, on Windows 7, but on my Windows XP machine at work, it's fine. It *was* working on my Win 7 machine just fine until a month or two ago.

When I click on the icon, it doesn't even acknowledge that it was clicked, display any error message, or anything. When I go through the menu in "tools" to Login or Out of Last.fm, it also does nothing. I have 3rd party cookies enabled, and I also tried deleting the Last.fm cookie to see if it needed to be refreshed. No dice.

I'm in America, btw, if that info helps. I tried earlier approaches, shy of reinstalling.

Songbird 1.2 Stable Release on Linux and no Login too ...

In Songbird i dont log in - it loads and loads and loads an ...
In Amarok there is the Error that i have to pay but i'm from Germany ...

Third Party Cookies are enabled, doesnt help.
Allow *.last.fm doesnt work too.

Any other way?
I dont want to compile to a newer Version.

I have a log in problem.
I have the lastest version of SongBird
When i enter my details on lastfm box, it says loging in but it's never been succeed.
I've tried to remove that add-on and upload again but it's still the same.
Is there any other solution?

noisethief

I've got Ubuntu 9.10 and Songbird 1.4.3
The Radio stations on the sidebar is not there and I can't figure out how to get to the Last.fm radio player.

It used to be there, and clicking play on a station from the Songbird Internet browser while on Last.fm's website doesn't work anymore for me either.

k1k0_o

any solution ? :_______(

Pk_JoA

For the ones who can´t login, here is the solution:
Go to your profile folder (in linux this is: "/home/*user*/.songbird2/"). There you will see one or more folder with a strange name and thats ends with ".default". See which one is that you are using (I guess you can see that in the file "profiles.ini", not sure, though)

Well, one you reached here, it is pretty easy. Enter your profile folder, go to the "db" folder and erase "lastfm-radio.db". And thats it :)

Hope it works for you, it certainly worked for me

erockJ

Hey all,

I'm having a different problem than most people here and I'm pretty sure it's probably user (me) error.

The last.fm addon logs in just fine and scrobbles all songs I play. However I'm having trouble figuring out how the radio integration works. I'm not seeing any integration between what I'm playing in last.fm back into the songbird playbar as shown here:

http://whacked.net/2008/12/29/lastfm-radio/

Also I don't see last.fm in the radio section of my sidebar

Any thoughts? I appreciate the help

Thanks for ur help

Still the delay. Can anyone else not see that? Sometimes it makes a delay and shows only "Just listened" instead of "Now listening" with listening-icon. This has bugged me from the start... it does the same on Linux (suse 11.2) and Windows (7). I hate it because sometimes I get problems when I use scripts which depend on Last.fm:s now playing... any fix, or coming?

Last.fm is not logging in, anyone knows why? :( it worked perfectly before the patch !

I am getting [last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""], It started with the upgrade to the newest Songbird 1.7.2 + automatic upgrade to the newest Last.fm plugin. Also, when I downgraded to Songbird 1.4 the error remains. I have tried couple of older Last.fm versions with the same error.
Any idea what is wrong?

MoonStruckHorrors

I too, can't log in to last.fm. Is there a problem with the add-on?

not logging in for me as well...
is it, at least, saving my scrobbles so that when it comes online it scrobbles everything?

Thanks for the good work otherwise, devs. Been using this plugin since the first day I used Songbird (only the scrobbling part)

im deleting songbird ..they should fix it til now .. they miss there chance ..last fm on songbird is important to all of us ..it's taking too long ..i don't care anymore ..now im using atunes ..dont care for songbird ..im already waiting for 12h,watching damn thing spinning :/ ..salute

DivineComedy

I'm also suffering from the same problem... I was originally on version 1.4 where it wasn't working, so I upgraded to 1.7 in the vain hope it might start logging in again. Unlike other people, I don't seem to be getting the 'BADAUTH' error in the console, in fact, I don't seem to have any errors regarding the Last.fm extension. This problem only started on the 5th, so I don't know if that means it coincides with the latest Last.fm plugin update...

ilirsko

its probably latest update..i also updated around the 5th ...there is no official explanation from songbird,if there is can someone post,we have to ask some would-be profesionals..where is the songbird team ..there is no statement ..it's not professional...this isn't some high-school-developing sofware :)

DivineComedy

Actually, now I look, I'm also getting the same error as everyone else. ^_^

dotdot

OMG FIX NEEDED... I am like 900 scrobbles LOST FOREVER!

Also for me the login into Last FM does not work.
Everything works until - this is what console says (maybe it helps the developer or others know what to do to fix it):

same problem in version 1.4.3

That this is still broken is fucked up. I'm checking out foobar and winamp.

rougegoat

Man, considering this is free software, you all have a bit of an entitlement issue. Since when does the maker owe you anything? this is like going to a bar, being handed a free beer, and then complaining that it's not your favorite brand. it's a free beer, shut up already.

I, too, am having this problem. But I won't stop using the program just because of a bug in the launch window(looking at you pnerves and ilirsko). It'll be fixed. Plus, for all we know, the issue could be on last.fm's side and not the developer. so stop being dicks to the guys who made this free program for you.

sanderd

The answers are already out there ;)
There's a thread on getsatisfaction (which was, probably, a better place to ask in the first place), and a bug filed in Bugzilla.

Steve Lloyd just committed the bugfix to the 1.7 branch, which means we can (-I guess-) expect an update soon. If you know how to, grab yourself an export of /branches/Songbird1.7/extensions/lastfm/components/sbLastFm.js already.

So, chill out, take a few hours break from Last.fm, exploit it to discover some new music manually, and give the devs some time to put this right ;)
Rougegoat was right about this, no need to look a gift horse in the mouth.

http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/cant_login_last_fm-z7ql0
:) The solution alfred gave worked for me!
If it doesn't work for you, you should try!

Ndjee

This solution worked for me too ^_^

Ndjee

Oops, I didn't see that the extension was updated in the same time. Seems that this solution is no more needed.

Rolle

The most recent version 1.0.4.1704 did not work for me, maybe since I'm using Linux and Songbird 1.4.0. The solution alfred gave worked perfectly though, and I'm pasting it here for those who are too lazy to go to getsatisfaction site.

This will work, I'd be surprised if not:

1. Install the current broken last.fm addon to Songbird 1.7.2.
2. Remove the broken sbLastFm.js file from your audio scrobbler addon of the profile folder. The file should be in the subfolder extensions/audioscrobbler\@songbirdnest.com/components.
3. Download the sbLastFm.js file that's patched and save it to the same folder in step 2.

Then restart Songbird should give you the rescue.

Rolle

Sorry, forgot, here's the link to fixed js-file: http://publicsvn.songbirdnest.com/client/branches/Songbird1.7/extensions/lastfm/components/sbLastFm.js

Thanks alfred!!

MarkNL

I just figured out if you do a complete unistall it also works. What you need to do is remove everything of Songbird, so make sure there are no more traces in X:\Program Files\, X:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data & X:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\

If you remove the Songbird folders on this 3 locations and install it again it will works. When you sign in with the addon than a page of Last.fm will pop up with the question if you wanna perform Songbird access to Last.fm. Do that and you will see it works.

JackDriv

It will send information about what I’m listening to, but won’t scrobble the track. Online it will say I’m “Now Listening” to a song, but once it’s done there’s nothing to show for it.
Just updated to 1.7.3, Build 1700 (20100608172956)

shahab_odin

scrobbling works great but I dont have the radios in my sidebar.
whats wrong?

Im vista 64 , songbird 1.7.3

Speeko

Does anyone else notice skipping when playing the radio?
The last.fm application itself plays radio fine so I don't think it's a bandwidth issue.

I've tried messing with the buffer settings in songbird but I can't fix it.

It does what it's supposed to, but my only complaint is that after I installed this SB add-on, and went to the Add-ons menu (under Tools), I couldn't click the "Options" button next to the add-on to input my last.FM info. Unbeknowest to me, I had to enter that from a new *tiny* button at the bottom-right of the program interface -- again, it's not very intuitive. After I figured out where I was supposed to input my info, it worked like a peach.

naglis

just wanted to say that i've translated it on BabelZilla :)

Works like a charm and thanks for creating!

Help :( Scrobblings doesn't work in Songbird 1.8.0b2, Build 1730 (20100623183646). The same problem like always: "[last-fm] handshake got not enough lines: ["BADAUTH", ""]". Last.fm Songbird version: 1.04.1747. OS Windows 7 x86.

olly86

I'm seeing the same issue as Psychediegolic. The same Songbird and last.fm version, but running on Windows XP Home.

Smygen

I get this dialog everytime I try to log on last.fm:
"The application Songbird Last.fm Support would like permission to access your Last.fm account. You should only give access to your Last.fm account to third parties you trust."

I click "Yes, allow access" but when I try to log on, it gives me the same message. Anyone got a solution?

olly86

It doesn't work with the new beta (b3) either.

Smygen

I'm on Win7 x32 and Songbird 1.7.3 if it helps.

jvMunduruca

Não funciona nos últimos updates do Songbird e do plug in (Dont work in the last updates...)

3thereal

Yup, same issue as everyone else recently since the latest version of Sonbird, last.fm is definitely not working.

cameraman

Win7 x64, SB 1.7.3 build 1700, stopped working randomly 2 days ago, keeps bringing up the "allow Songbird access to your last.fm profile?" every time I start the program. It'd be nice if this plugin didn't stop working every few weeks.

friendlysoviet

Getting the same errors as everyone else. The addon is constantly asking for Last.FM authorization to use the application, even after it is given.

elninoo

same error

voyagerfan5761

Can't get it to log in. It just keeps saying it's not logged in and keeps taking me to the same page to authorize the application in my Last.fm account.

Strangely, the Tools menu shows "Log in" and "Log out" entries, plus a toggle for "Enable scrobbling". Sounds like a royally confused add-on.

For what it's worth, I haven't had this extension working for about a year, over several versions of both it and Songbird. (I'm using Songbird Portable, though, so maybe that's why I can't get it to work.)

mariusscholz

same problem :(

rdbram

worked relatively well up until a few days ago, like everyone else. log in issues.

Snow Leopard x64
Songbird 1.7.3
Last.fm plugin 1.0.3.1700

b3ast1e

yep, can't log in. Tried alternative file to native but won't log in with that either. Kinda annoying since I was fine before the update.

HenningStummer

Using SB 1.8.0b3, Build 1747 with LastFM 1.0.4.1747 and can't login too. Every time I try to, LastFM asks me to grant permission for SB...

Medivl

Same problem.
Very annoying.

viao123

Why even advertise songbird as supporting lastfm on the front page? I can't believe it's already 1 week and no1 from songbird cares to respond to the suddenly not-working of the last.fm plugin. I guess it's time to switch to another player, quite frankly I don't think I will hear from you until 3 months later or more.

dana714

how do u do this thing?...

dana714

can anybody answer me please?

prada

I just downloaded songbird JUST FOR THIS ADDON. I have used it in the past, and have continued to use winamp for its interface that I find more user-friendly.

If this problem is not fixed soon(Seems it has been here for 7 days at least), I will continue to spread my negative experience with songbird.

If it is fixed, I will gladly continue to use songbird.

Also, what are the chances of getting equalizer support for the browser.. I mean seriously, the only reason I got songbird is so I could listen to last.fm through it(not through a browser, I can use FF for that, and scrobble from winamp) and be able to use the equalizer... Apparently that is going to be my eventual uninstallation of this program that has such crappy support from the looks of it.

prada

Oh look! Google Chrome has a WORKING last.fm player.

*uninstalls songbird*

Seems I can stick to my browser and winamp after all. Support is quicker when you just go somewhere else where it WORKS in the first place. Thanks for nothin songbird devs.

olly86

It's a shame this issue was raised 10 days ago and yet there has been no comment from the Songbird team.

crayak

First of all you guys are really winy to be using a free program, and on top of being free you're all using the beta version. Which by the way are released for find issues like this before the product is called stable. If you're going to be this winy and lazy stick with the stable version. If you want it to work before the issue is offically fixed check out this link.

http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/cant_login_last_fm-z7ql0

emtorres

thanks @crayak!

hobbsilla

Is this add-on not working across all platforms or just OSX?

peaceful1

doesn't works with proxy, last.fm is filtered in my region and when I use proxy settings in the player I can't login from the Addon

deezeejoey

I can't get this fucking thing to work. It stopped working, won't let me log into last.fm, it goes to the last.fm allow page then nothing, after an update came out. I've uninstalled and reinstalled EVERYTHING. anyone having this problem?

kmd

add-on seems broken. tried updating to SB 1.7.3, uninstalled the add-on en re-installed. still the same: unable to login and a confirmation page of last.fm (to use external things) keeps popping up every time while trying to login to last.fm with the add-on. fix?

mmhan

It's broken, any news on updates???

HenningStummer

I'm running SB 1.8.0b3 with the most current version of this plugin on several computers with XP, Vista and Win7. Only the XP machine can't log into last.fm and displays the "grant access for application" page of last.fm on start of SB.

Any ideas on that?

bvo

Songbird 1.7.3, Build 1700 on Vista
Can't login to last.fm

subcycle

Great idea but it does not work on OSX 10.6.4. I invested a lot of time trying to get it to work. I finally gave up. I am using the last.fm scrobbler add-on instead. Too bad because this is a brilliant idea and would have really reignited my interest in last.fm . Now I just get annoyed by having two music players open at the same time.

Ragusa

I m using 2 different profiles on songbird 1.8.0b3 (mac os x 10.6.4). One of them displays the "grant access for application" on last.fm, the other profile is working fine.

Menthix

Stopped working for me.

Every time I try to login a browser tab will open, asking to grant Songbird Last.fm Support access to Last.fm. Add-on does not login after succesfully granting access. Add-on does have access according to http://www.last.fm/settings/applications.

Using Songbird 1.7.3 Build 1700 and Last.fm 1.0.3.1700

d6tr6tr

I tried everything above but I still can't get last.fm to work!

Just like Menthix I get that window, I say yes to access but it still won't log in. I also replaced the sbLastFm.js file but still it won't log in!

d6tr6tr

I found the solution!!

1. Close Songbird

2. Open the file "~/.songbird2/extensions/components/sbLastFm.js" and change line 1399 from

if (loc.pathname != "/api/grantAccess") {

to

if (loc.pathname != "/api/grantaccess") {

NOTICE the change is making the uppercase "A" in grantAccess to a lowercase "a" so: grantaccess.

Save that, start up songbird again and it'll work!!

(NOTICE FOR WINDOWS USERS: The above path is for linux users, for Windows users I believe it'll be in docs & settings and in the app data folder for songbird. And for linux users, the "~" means your home folder)

d6tr6tr

LMAO. What a piece of crap this software is. Just like that, it's not working again. Does anyone bugtest this stuff?

Froosh

//Library/Application Support/Songbird2/Profiles/yxog83rj.default/extensions/audioscrobbler@songbirdnest.com/components/sbLastFm.js

For me, a Mac-User, that's the path to look for the file.
Then just do, what d6tr6tr said.

Fonsick

It doesn't work for me. It never connects to last.fm page. What can i do? Win7, Songbird 1.7.3

NickDynmo

I'm having the same problems as those listed above me. Just confirming that there is a problem.

Fitnewbie

I did what it asid up above and I am still having problems logging in it is the software or is ia bad script

gmcmahon

Made the small edit to the sbLastFM.js as recommend above but no joy (Songbird 1.7.3 on OSX 10.6.4)

jayy

I changed the big A to a little one in the .js file, and it was working then today it just stopped working again...

Nikku

I've already changed the "grantAccess" to "grantaccess", and it started working just fine... until yesterday!
Thanks for once again screwing up your maybe most important add-on, Songbird team!

appsciguy

As everyone else is reporting, I am also having a problem with login. I had been using songbird for about a year before my previous post above, and then gave it up about a year ago when a number of bugs seemed to go continually unaddressed. I decided to give it another try recently, but I see that very little has changed in a year.
The songbird project needs to go back to basics and fix things like podcast subscriptions, scrobbling, and even media importing/file management. I had a lot of hope when Songbird started, but it seems to be caught in some Sisyphusian struggle. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor, but I eagerly await Google's attempt at a music/media program.

twizzlerite

For Bob's sake, can't someone permanently patch that line to be this?: if (loc.pathname.toLowerCase() != "/api/grantaccess") {

Ragusa

Thanks d6tr6tr!
Your patch is working great !

Menthix

I see people found a patch around it. But for me updating Songbird to 1.8.0 (got the update notification) and then updating the Last.fm add-on to 1.0.4.1800 fixed the problem without the need to patch anything. The access permission page still popped up a final time, but after granting that everything works fine. Last/fm logs in and no more access page.

crumbinator

So, the plugin can now log in (1.0.4.1800) but then it returns this error:

Error: syntax error
Source File: http://post2.audioscrobbler.com/protocol_1.2
Line: 1, Column: 1
Source Code:
FAILED Request rejected, content too large

and this warning:

[last-fm] Last.fm hard failure: HTTP status 400 posting to http://post2.audioscrobbler.com:80/protocol_1.2

It's amazing that this plugin hasn't been functional for months at this point.

olly86

I had the same issue as @crumbinator, but last.fm started working after I rebooted the computer.

slavo87

If you still have problem with last.fm addon you have to install clean songbird - delete folder "Songbird2" in "C:/Users/YourName/AppData/Roaming"

If you want to keep your library, you have to copy old main@library.songbirdnest.com.db file to new profile directory and change one line in prefs.js file (Songbird2 folder).

In old prefs.js file find

"user_pref("songbird.library.main", "b8c66008-284e-44ad-9d3a-fe2aedgd09b861");"

copy "b8c66008-284e-44ad-9d3a-fe2aedgd09b861" (in your file will be other digits and letters) to "user_pref("songbird.library.main", ....
in new prefs.js file.

Anyway clean installation (with deleting Songbird2 catalog in C:/users directory) of songbird fix last.fm addon.

junglistric

updating the last.fm plugin to 1.0.4.1800 worked for me in mac

HenningStummer

With SB 1.8.0 and Last.fm 1.0.4.1800 the scrobbling works fine for me.
But I'm missing the Last.fm radio entry in the left panel...

BradleyF81

Have the latest version of Songbird and the latest version of this plug in and suddenly it just stops working for no reason. Was working earlier today and now won't log in. What. The. Fuck. Why does Songbird keep having so many problems with this damn plug in?

BradleyF81

I just reinstalled the latest version of Songbird, which comes with the last.fm plugin by default. It's still broken. WTF is up with that? How can the default plugin come out of the box broken?

eselhund

I have the same problem as Henning Stummer, also with the same versions on Windows Vista.

I have tried several times to reinstall all, but all without success...

dakial

Why it says the version is 1.0.4.1800 and when I install it it says it is 1.0.3.1700?

crumbinator

I checked into this a while ago, but haven't had time to follow up. Sniffing the traffic SB sent to last.fm, I saw that SB could successfully send new track information. In addition to sending the currently playing track, the plugin also sends batch information of some sort to last.fm every five minutes or so. This transmission caused last.fm to choke. It returned an error along the lines of the content being too long. If I have some time later today, I'll see if I can gather more data, as it is still happening.

crumbinator

So, I moved to yesterday's SB nightly build to see if it addressed the library performance issues. IT DID :D

The last.fm plugin is still broken, but this is different from last time:

--
[last-fm] Last.fm hard failure: FAILED Plugin bug: Not all request variables are set - Invalid Rating and Source combination

Falling back to handshake
--

Anyway, can't complain... I'm using pre-release code. Hopefully this works when 1.9 is official.

voyagerfan5761

It's working for the time being (thank goodness), but it seems to have caching issues when I'm offline. I listened to a bunch of songs the other night and now I see that only the first 11 are scrobbled. Weird.

voyagerfan5761

Hasn't worked for a week. Getting the same error in the console as crumbinator, about an "Invalid Rating and Source combination".

Frustrating. At this rate my scrobbles will be too old (more than two weeks ago) before I can communicate with Last.fm again.

giacastello

Guys, i need some help here. Someone could please tell me how (the fuck) can i download the scrobbler? I´m a little bit lost. Also does anyone know if songbird has visualizer?
:)

giacastello

Chicos, necesito algo de ayuda por aca. Alguien podria decirme como (carajos) bajo el scrobbler? Estoy algo perdida. Por otro lado, alguien sabe si songbird tiene visualizer?
Gracias :)

genjin

Just installed songbird with the lastfm addon. It let me log in, but its not showing LastFM in the radio section of the left bar (only shoutcast :( This functionality was the reason I've installed sondgbird and I cant wait to see it work.

detrimidexta

This plug-in could not properly connect with website. Last.fm keeps asking me to connect the app every time I try to re-establish connection by right-clicking the add-on icon. Then add-on reports an error

LeMirque

Latest version doesn't seem to work with 1.9.1 "blessed build". No icon in the bottom right corner, no scrobbling, no options in the menu.
I had to go back to 1800 and "bump" it to make it work with 1.9.1.

Troetelbiertje

I'm afraid it's not working with Songbird 1.9.1, the tracks I play aren't scrobbled anymore.

Troetelbiertje

Solved it. For those having the same problem after upgrading. Simply sign out, sing in again let it authenticate and you're good to go.

i_used_jell

It's not working. I haven't been able to scrobble anything on Philips Songbird since I got it a week or two ago :/ A Little HELP? I have updated it and still... nothing.

mcginty13

Right so I just downloaded songbird (version 1.9.3) and this plugin, and the scrobbling side of things works absolutely perfectly, but I have no last.fm icon under radio, only shoutcast. My language is set to English (UK), and I've tried it US as well. I tried uninstalling plugin, uninstalling songbird, everything, and I cant get that little icon to appear :'( please help!

mcginty13

Dont worry, just found out stupid last.fm are making me pay for this bs.

athifox

Last.fm plugin has not scrobbled any tracks since I updated to songbird 1.9.3 and the newest version of this plugin.

As soon as I tell it to login, it takes me to the allow access last.fm page. I hit yes, allow access and the little icon turns into a triangle with an exclamation point after reaching the "Application authenticated page" . I am running mac osx 10.5.8.

 Error console output listed below:

robinmitra

I cannot log into Last.fm. After entering my Last.fm credentials into the plugin's login popup, it takes me to a page on Last.fm to authorise access by the plugin, and even after I authorise it, it keeps on trying to login forever but cannot login! If I stop it and put the credentials again, the same set of events happen again.

I am using Songbird Version 2.4

sc0ttkclark

For those wondering (and there has been people who have said this in above comments) -- Last.fm Radio playing within Songbird only works if you have a subscription for Last.fm, otherwise you can listen to it from within the Songbird browser but it won't be played from the actual Songbird player.

sc0ttkclark

Please add the 'mix' radio station (Your library + new music) in the list below Recommended (or somewhere there) on the Last.fm Radio addon page.

BapAndFuro

Please update this addon to work with 1.4.3! It looks like a great addon but unfortunately won't work with this version of songbird.
