The scrobbling of music tracks to last.fm doesn't work

[wika]

Hi VLC developers,

VLC 2.2.6 (64bit version) is the last version where the scrobbling of music tracs to Last.fm works. Is there any time table when this problem will be fixed please? It's annoying not to use the new VLC 3.0.2 because of this bug.

Thanks in advannce

Can you sahre the logs in the 2 cases?

Hi Jean-Baptiste,
Could you tell me where I find the logs please?

[chubinou]

Open tools -> messages, set verbosity to 2 before playing the media.

You can paste the full resulting log here or on http://pastebin.com if it's too long.

Hi chubinou,

Today I scrobbled without any problems songs (FLAC or MP3) to Last.fm without any problems using the Windows VLC Player 2.2.6 (64bit). Then I installed the 64bit version of VLC Player 3.0.2 over the existing VLC Player and I kept all settings. All worked fine but no scrobbling is possible. The whole thing is reproducible

Below you see the whole log you requested (level 2). It was was created when I heard one song (flac format).

I hope this helps to find and to fix the error. I see no error on my side respetively what I did wrong.

Best regards
wika
