Trouble
I have a trouble with mediamonkey 4 and last.Fm . After a few track successfuly scrobbled, it stops scrobbling until I restarts mediamonkey. I recently upgraded my mediamonkey 4 to a beta version (after the problem began a few weeks ago), since then I tried updating my plugin by reinstalling it, by installing an old winamp plugin to use the offical last fm scrobbler software but the symptoms remain the same: a few dozen track get scrobbled, but after a while, it stops all together functionning: in the case with the scrobbler software it looks like mediamonkey stops sending it the change of tracks.

What can I do ?

[quote="Barry4679"]The status of MMW's scrobbling status is confusing IMO.

I have the widget on the tool bar. If I hover over it the tool-tip shows that there are 3 status settings, and I see that each click toggles to the next setting.

There is no way to determine the current status setting, rather than the widget's colour (which isn't documented anywhere I can find).

Trial and error indicates that red indicates No Scrobbling. This is confusing as the widget icon is the LFM Scrobbler icon, and its official colour is red. So red could been seen as active.

The default is the green icon so its pretty safe to assume that green = active submit. Not to mention it really only takes about a minute of trial and error to figure out what does what.

I see that Tools|Options|Library|Last.fm has a checkbox for LFM submission, so that presumably indicates ScrobbleEnable & ScrobbleDisable, but I can't see any indication or control showing whether scrobbles are being cached. So the only indication seems to be the undocumented and ambiguous colour of the toolbar button

It would be good if the toolbar button tool tip displayed the current status, and the options dbox showed the cache setting.

Also the Clean Cache button is confusing. There is no confirmation that it does anything. ie. there is no indication that the cache has any entries before I press it, and therefore I can't see that it is now clear. The Refresh button still shows the last 5 entries, and the Show Log File facilities is still populated, and the cache clear operation is not logged.

If You do not see options can you try to add/edit this section to Mediamonkey.ini and fill correct info:

Over a year later and the native MM scrobbler still doesn't work for me. It randomly scrobbles some songs, and doesn't others. They still show up as "listening now" in my profile but don't get scrobbled once they're finished. Both MM and the scrobbler are the latest version and the log always shows "Submit OK" even though it didn't submit at all.
I have been using the Winamp plugin instead but that one doesn't seem to support Unicode...@.@

Ok well I deleted any stray lastFM dll's and reinstalled with the .mmip ... general plugins now shows 'gen_LastFMScrobbler.dll' but still - no options :/

Weird.

Woah, that was fast & it's working. Thanks a lot Lowlander!

Upgrade to MediaMonkey 4.1 beta from the Beta forum and disable Update Play Counter in the Media Server options in MediaMonkey. This will also stop last.fm scrobbling for the Media Server.

Hey Peke,
thanks for this awesome plugin.
I set up a media server with MM 4, so my family can access my library. Problem is that all the songs they listen to (by streaming) also get scrobbled. Of course I don't want their songs in my last.fm profile. ;) Is there a way to ignore these songs?
I tried scrobbling with "gen_wa2_scrobbler.dll", which ignores the streamed songs. But I have mostly asian music, so unicode support is a must.

Thank you!

Let me know if you have any issues on reinstalling it.

Ah ok - I'll get rid of that .dll and try again, many thanks.

Let me make things more clear.
- There is communication with MMW and Last.Fm devs
- MMW is propitiatory Software
- Each Plugin that is distributed/listed with Last.fm software needs to be supplied in sources to Last.fm and only then they will add it to list.
- If no sources are supplied than Developers of software needs to manage plugin functionality.
- Official MMW Plugin uses 1.2.1 API instead of 2.0 due the some licensing issues.
- We do not have insights on Server part Logs which can show us why there is some occasional issues in Scrobbling

Noting this, we can only do fixes based on user debugs and only known issue is that plugin do not work well in Portable mode.

Tools > Options > Last.fm service can't be missing if plugin is correctly installed, existence of plugin in General plugins means that plugin is not uninstalled correctly and needs to be manually deleted.

That's what I'm missing .. I get no 'last fm service' in the options! Though the plugin shows up in 'general plugins'

Which you then need to configure with at least your account under Tools > Options > Last.fm service.

[quote="jomtones"]Yeah that's right. Got the last.fm scrobbler thing installed too from their site - Should I uninstall it?[/quote]
No you don't use the scrobbler from last.fm. Just the MediaMonkey addon at:
