Last.fm scrobbling odd problem?

Post by cubik »

Hi there,

For the last few days, my last.fm hasn't updated via mediamonkey. As far as I'm aware, nothing has changed on my PC, I haven't installed any new software or changed MM in any way. Previously it was working fine.

The odd thing is, last.fm shows the track I'm playing under the "listening now" part of my last.fm profile whilst playing but once the track has finished, it isn't added to my list of played tracks.

Other software (such as spotify) is updating my last.fm profile as normal. No other media playing software (e.g spotify) is running whilst I'm using MM.

I'm running windows 7 with MM version 3.2.0.1294

The log file from my MM seems OK, here's a chunk of it :-

I've checked the last.fm site but can't find much useful info regarding MM.
Thanks for any ideas

You do have the option Submit played tracks to build .... enabled under Tools > Options > Last.fm Service?

Sorry, should have said this in the first post

"Submit..." and "Show now playing..." are ticked.
Nothing has changed from the defaults...

Log file clearly shows that submit from MM are accepted by last.fm site:
4/9/2010 21:20:44.004: Last.FM: Submit R.E.M. - Fall On Me
4/9/2010 21:20:44.061: Last.FM: Submit Started
4/9/2010 21:20:44.157: Last.FM: Submit OK
Which means no error on MM side. Can you tell me what is your Time Zone?

I'm in the UK so we're now on British Summer Time.

My windows 7 settings show that the timezone is "(UTC) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London"

My clock is set correctly by the way

It is odd, and does look like a problem at last.fm's side of things.

Try changing your date from the correct d/m/yyyy to the silly way of m/d/yyyy
