Last.fm scrobbling does not work and cmufm does not report any errors #18

Closed gregkwaste closed 6 years ago

gregkwaste commented 6 years ago

I'm using cmus 2.8.0-rc0 and I just re-installed cmusfm which was working fine in the past (haven't used cmus for a couple of months).

I used the cmus.debug wrapper script that is included in the repo for debugging but it doesn't report anything weird at all. However scrobbles are not submitted to last fm. I've also re-initialized cmusfm to update the app authorization.

Here is the output of the /tmp/cmusfm.debug file

I'll try to re-build cmusfm with the DEBUG flag on just to see if it is going to print any useful information to trace what is happening

Just tested the --enable-debug version

Everything looks normal but scrobbles are not shown in last.fm :/

Hi, it seems, that you've got running instance of cmusfm (cmusfm server) which was not invoked via cmusfm.debug. Before gathering logs, please kill every instance of cmusfm, e.g. pkill cmusfm.

Please, try to get logs from cmusfm server. You can run it as a foreground process like this: cmusfm server (be sure, that there was no running server before this command).

As for scrobbling it is really strange, because I was able to scrobble today, so it seems it is not a last.fm issue.

Killing the running instance of the server did the trick. Scrobbles work like a charm now thank you very much :) I didn't notice that there was a server process to be honest, I thought cmusfm just submit the song to the api directly. I'll pay attention to the background processes from now on. Thank you again :)

OK, I'm glad, that everything works fine now :) The server process is required for tracking playback state. Track is not scrobbled right away, there are some "rules" (provided by last.fm) when track can be scrobbled.

I'm closing this issue, then.
