Windows 10: I turned off Set Time Automatically on my system clock and moved it forward like 7 minutes or so (to match the time on my phone) and that fixed all my problems
On MM 4.1.9 with Win8. The extension had been working fine but is no longer, for no reason I can think of. I didn't fiddle with the settings or anything. I've tried both versions of the extension, reentered my correct last.fm logon info, checked the boxes correctly, the icon is green, etc etc but it no longer scrobbles. Basically I've tried everything except reinstalling MM. The cache is still getting larger as I play tracks. (Although I don't know how to view the cache, is there a way to do this?) Any ideas?
Anyone else have the issue where Album Artist isn't scrobbled with version 1.1.0.41 with MediaMonkey 4.1.11? '
If I scrobble a various artists album (or anything where the artist and album artist don't match) the artist metadata overwrites the album artist metadata. I am assuming this is because the scrobbler doesn't look at the album artist tag at all and last.fm guesses and sets the album artist as the same as the artist. I know Last.fm can accept album artist tags as using the universal scrobbler allows this.
I don't remember if it ever worked fine. Before I went and cleaned up my scrobbles recently I noticed that more or less all my scrobbles for tracks with different artist and album artist tags have their album artist listed as the artist so this has been an issue since at least the last time this plugin was updated (2014 I think). Prior to using this plugin I was using the last.fm desktop client but that doesn't seem to work with mediamonkey anymore. It'd be pretty nice to get the plugin fixed since it's not a problem with last.fm's API. For now there aren't really any good alternatives besides hand entering info with the universal scrobbles so all we can really do is wait (or write a new plugin).
Edit:
I just tried scrobbling on the Android version of Last.fm and it has the same issues with the Simple scrobbler, ScrobbleDroid, and the official Last.fm scrobbler for android. None of them report the album artist correctly. Perhaps all have the same issue as the MediaMonkey Windows plugin or it could be an issue with MediaMonkey for Windows and Android not reporting properly to the scrobbler or potentially an issue with Last.fm and their API(which I earlier ruled out in this same post).
The last.fm scrobble stopped working for me sometime last year (August I think). Since then I've tried multiple times to fix this, testing most options that I've seen here and elsewhere. I think I've narrowed it down to a "Last.fm handshake bad system clock time", but haven't found any helpful options to deal with this. I'm in Australia, so when I use my normal timezone it doesn't work, but when I switch timezones to an American one it does. This is a feature I have used a lot, but I've no interest in changing my systems timezone periodically just to update my scrobbling list.
