Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

Deezer's internal scrobbling option works again including their desktop and iOS apps. The callback URL to Deezer after authenticating it in your Last.fm account was broken using http instead of https. The workaround recently described in a related thread with installing the HTTPS Everywhere browser extension to fix this issue is not necessary anymore.

Other issues with it still remain of course like not submitting ampersands in artist, album and track titles or not showing "Scrobbling now" in your Recent Tracks list on your Last.fm profile. See the Deezer Scrobbling FAQ on the Last.fm support forum:

Hi all! I am underway a very thorough test of all the major streaming services in their current state for my YT channel and also just searching for a perfect app for myself, which includes a slick UI on both the phone and desktop, integration between different sources (nothing beats Spotify’s Connect, but Deezer with its synchronized playing comes kinda close) and perks like last.fm integration.

I am very impressed with Deezer and already have my all library here on the trial month (especially loved the easy way to import some of my old mp3s to round up my full library), but it seems that this last.fm bug might be the deciding factor as I see it has not been resolved over the years…

Scrobbling works on my Google Pixel (but not the uploaded tracks wtf?), but it does not on the newest desktop version on Windows 10 (apart from web app with Chrome extension, but that won’t cut it). I don’t get it and would not like to resign from switching to Deezer and stick to very messy, laggy and dated UI of Spotify because of it.

That said thank you Rudi for all the replies and hopefully the fix you mentioned is coming soon. I got 4 weeks to go All the best to ya all!

Thanks! Strangely it also works for me now (I just woke up and checked it again) :) Reading this thread I noticed that it can come and go, strange. Hopefully it stays now.

Hi - Scrobbling was working fine for me up until this morning. Suddenly stopped. 

I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting, but no joy.

It seems to work from IoS but not via Sonos… 

Hi Rudy.

Thanks for the follow up - I did all that and nothing worked. Then this morning, it just seemed to start again. Hopefully a temporary blip :)

Cheers

Mike

I’m also not getting Last.fm scrobbles when using the LGTV web app. Works fine for mobile and web.

in the web version I can not link the last fm account. there is no such possibility.

@DanRow That is a known issue of the internal Deezer scrobbling, it does not submit scrobbles with a plus sign. You could only prevent this by using external scrobbling apps depending on your device. You can also use manual scrobbling tools to add these missing songs afterwards in your Last.fm library.

It is currently working for me, so there is no general problem with it at the moment. The internal Deezer scrobbling does not show “Scrobbling now” in your Last.fm recent tracks list, so you will only see a successful scrobble a few seconds after the next track has already been started. Another known issue is for tracks containing a plus sign anywhere (artist, album or track name), so if you try to scrobble e.g. a song by Florence + the Machine, it will not work.

But are you seeing a red Last.fm logo in the Sharing Preferences of the Deezer web player, or is it still greyed out maybe? Or are you a Deezer Family member who usually cannot see this option? See the official Deezer Scrobbling FAQ on the Last.fm support forum for screenshots and more infos:

Sometimes adblockers or privacy protection browser extensions can also prevent a proper connection of the Deezer and Last.fm account.
