Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

In addition to the internal scrobbling option of Deezer which works on all devices including iOS, Android, desktop and Xbox apps as well as the web player you can also install the Web Scrobbler browser extension for Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, the Chromium beta version of MS Edge and Firefox: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lastfm-scrobbler/hhinaapppaileiechjoiifaancjggfjm On Android devices you can use several external scrobbling apps which also support Deezer, but not on iOS. See also the official Last.fm FAQ about Deezer Scrobbling on the Last.fm support forum.

Scrobble tracks properly to/Improvements to Last.fm integrationIn discussion

Also not trying to nitpick, but I think last.fm scrobbles after 60% of the song played. No, it's either at 50% of the track length or after 4 minutes for a long track of more than 8 minutes. By the way, the available Web Scrobbler browser extension I mentioned elsewhere does this as well. Last but not least @Luka.Urbac is right, there still seems to be a problem with scrobbling artist, album and track names containing the ampersand symbol which gets left out and automatically creates a wrong related page on Last.fm this way. Songs containing a plus sign are not scrobbled at all, e.g. everything by Florence + the Machine. See also the official Last.fm FAQ about Deezer Scrobbling on the Last.fm support forum.

More discoveries in FlowLive

Maybe try to shuffle your library on the "Your Music" page with the Play button there, then you should at least hear some songs that you haven't heard for a while. Or does it behave the same, i.e. repeat only a small fraction of your library?

HiFi compatibility on all devices.Live

[quote=walker]I've used Tidal but I prefer Deezer because with Tidal you can't upload songs that Tidal doesn't have, and with Deezer you're able (at least until now). Also, Tidal doesn't have social zone , but, in the other hand, Tidal's available, for example, in Astell & Kern devices, and Deezer isn't because of HiFi's limited devices.[/quote] Keep in mind though that Deezer upload only accepts MP3 files with a constant bit rate (CBR) yet. Regarding the HiFi option sometimes it is already available, but related support and help pages haven't been updated yet, e.g. for Bluesound devices: http://www.deezer.com/en/devices/soundsystems There is no yellow "HiFi" sticker on that page, but Bluesound's support forum confirms it is working: https://helpdesk.bluesound.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?p=19689&sid=a62e918eec24f6d319b48bce5cb9ac84#p19689

Scrobble tracks properly to/Improvements to Last.fm integrationIn discussion

In the meantime you can use the external browser extension Web Scrobbler which does not have this problem. It is available for Chrome, Opera and Firefox, too. By the way, Anja, there is another problem with the internal Deezer scrobbling which dismisses added info in brackets for track names like (Remix). On the first look some Last.fm users might even prefer that behaviour, because they don't like the typical Spotify additions like "Remastered..." etc., but it gets problematic if you check e.g. the Deluxe Edition of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and how it is scrobbled to Last.fm: all additions in brackets are gone, so you cannot distinguish between the different remixes of the same song anymore.

Deezer Favourite Tracks Limit of 2000 too small - please increase it!Live

[quote=Rafael.]Yes, it's also based on playlists, favourited and downloaded songs... basically everything! :)[/quote] Can you tell us a bit more details about that behaviour, e.g. is there a different weight on favorite songs or playlists or added albums or artists in terms of counting towards Flow and its content, especially with recommendations in Flow? Or put it this way: what is the best = most effective method to teach Flow about out musical taste and about songs or artists we don't know yet?

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

There were obvious problems with Deezer's internal scrobbling on Friday and Saturday, I had similar effects, too, like scrobbling nothing for about 12 hours, then lagging behind the currently playing songs trying to catch up. This was not caused by Last.fm, as far as I know. At the moment everything seems to be working normally for me at least, i.e. the song scrobbles at the end when the next song starts (which is not the usual way of doing it, but this has been the case with Deezer's internal scrobbling option for a long time). Concerning scrobbling from other devices than the Deezer web player it should work when everything else is working OK. The good thing about the internal Deezer option is that it connects both accounts with their APIs, not in the individual devices, like the new Spotify scrobbling feature by Last.fm. For example the Deezer Windows 10 app also scrobbles when I have enabled it in the web player (don't know about the new beta desktop app though). This is also

Scrobble tracks properly to/Improvements to Last.fm integrationIn discussion

If it isn't technically possible to fix the problem (perhaps because "&" is used in an important Unix script in the database), there seems to be another workaround: if the Deezer database would exchange the ampersand symbol in all artist/album/track names with "and", Last.fm will very likely autocorrect them to the correct name with an ampersand after submitting the scrobble and adding it to its own database. I agree that this would be a rather crude way to work around the real problem though. :wink:

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

Sorry, that would be a question for the Deezer developers then if the internal scrobbling option does not work on other hardware devices. At the moment I am using their web player which works as usual. And checking their old Windows 10 app also scrobbles fine.

@lisp By the way, you can also manually scrobble missing songs to your Last.fm profile either online with the Universal Scrobbler and Open Scrobbler or the free Windows desktop app Last.fm Scrubbler. So if you already have the songs in a list, you should be able to simply copy & paste them.

Repetitive "Shuffle my music" // keeps playing the same songs

I have the same problem with Shuffle My Music and Flow, i.e. repeating the same songs, albums and artists too early, although I have several hundreds of favorite artists, albums and songs in my library as well as dozens of playlists with 2k tracks each in it. I think this might be caused by my Deezer listening history which leads to a feedback loop, because I mostly listened to Flow and Shuffle My Music in the past, so my listening history is based on them, and my so-called Top Songs (the ones I've heard the most) are simply a result of that behaviour. Anja asked to provide some screenshots in another thread, so here are six different ones done last Saturday, Sunday and today showing the upper and lower half of my play queue in the web player when starting Shuffle My Music on these days. Saturday morning, 1: [img]https://uploads-eu-west-1.insided.com/deezer-en/attachment/2f674106-9abb-4246-9c18-f6937ff0af06.png[/img] Saturday morning, 2: [img]https://uploads-eu-west-1.in

Repetitive "Shuffle my music" // keeps playing the same songs

Thank you, Anja. There are several songs coming up at least every day, so you can find them three times in my screenshots. This rather makes me hate them than liking them anymore, so this can't be the intended behaviour.:wink: And even if the songs may change, they come from the same albums and artists far too often.

Maybe add another thread about the same issue with ampersand to this thread, too: https://en.deezercommunity.com/troubleshooting-and-tips-4/scrobbling-4990 Interestingly the forum URL of it also does not show the ampersand.

Have Deezer as playback option in Last.fmReplied by Deezer

Besides other content, Last.fm provides personalised radio stations based on your listening history like Library, Mix and Recommendations which use either YouTube videos or Spotify audio tracks as playback source. So it would be interesting to use Deezer as a playback source for those users who cannot choose Spotify when they live in a country where it is not available. MusHub is a first step for them, although it does not support Last.fm's personalised radios yet, see https://mushub.net/about for a list of currently supported track lists on Last.fm. A full support probably would have to be realised in a cooperation between Last.fm and Deezer though.

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

I'm checking scrobbling with the web player, and it works for me right now. Keep in mind that Deezer's internal scrobbling submits a scrobble at the end of a track, not while playing it and/or after 50% track length, nor does it show as "Scrobbling now" on your Last.fm profile. If you use Chrome, you can also install the browser extension Web Scrobbler to scrobble from Deezer, by the way.

"Play next" option while using FlowIn discussion

This is already possible with Shuffle My Music, as far as I remember, because you can edit the play queue in the web player. But you are right, adding anything to the queue while playing Flow would make it less boring.

Yes, adding Deezer as an official third playback source on Last.fm would be nice. At the moment Deezer only supports scrobbling to Last.fm which is something else, i.e. sending the info about listened songs on Deezer to your Last.fm profile.

▶ SongCatcher now available on Deezer for Android

Great, so you don't need Shazam's feature anymore that is limited to only a few countries? Is this available everywhere? It would be great if a recognised song could also be directly scrobbled to Last.fm without actually playing it in Deezer.

Scrobble tracks properly to/Improvements to Last.fm integrationIn discussion

[user=49842]baseonmars[/user]: No, it's not caused by the Last.fm autocorrection, disabling it in my Last.fm settings does not change that, only using a browser extension would submit the full track name in this case. So it is caused by Deezer's internal scrobbling feature. By the way, stripping unnecessary additions to track names from your scrobbles is not yet publicly available, as far as I know. [user=202]Flo.Deezer[/user]: The internal scrobbling of Deezer's web player submitted the scrobble at the beginning of a track back when it was introduced years ago. That got complaints from Last.fm users as well, because they could not listen to a song for a few seconds and then skip it without scrobbling, as they did not like it. Deezer then changed it to the current method of only submitting a scrobble at the end of a track or rather when the next track begins which isn't ideal either. So Last.fm's own scrobbler apps all submit after 50% of the track length like I explained earlier in

See my former reply, you will only notice that a song has scrobbled from Deezer's internal option after the next track has started. Furthermore mobile scrobbling should work with the activated internal option in the web player, too, i.e. you do not have to nor cannot enable it in the mobile app.

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

At the moment the internal scrobbling option of Deezer seems to be broken, it only scrobbled the first track for me using their web player, then nothing, then after about half an hour the second track I played, but with three duplicates, so something is definitely wrong. You could try to use external scrobbling apps supporting Deezer in the meantime, e.g. the [url=https://https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lastfm-scrobbler/hhinaapppaileiechjoiifaancjggfjm]Last.fm web scrobbler browser extension[/url] for their web player. I think the official Last.fm Android app can also scrobble Deezer if you enable it in its settings.

Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

It's unlikely that Last.fm will fix anything, as the internal Deezer implementation does not seem to be working correctly anymore. While trying to connect to my Last.fm profile for authentication of the internal Deezer scrobbling option, I got this error message on the first try: "Invalid API key. If you are a third party developer see our authentication how-to to find out more." So it is possible that your developers may have to check if their Last.fm API key is still valid, if this error message is true. Or maybe they changed something else recently which causes the problems now.

The new web player layout of Deezer does not work with the browser extension anymore, see this thread: https://github.com/web-scrobbler/web-scrobbler/issues/1756 Furthermore the new player does not have Last.fm as an option in its settings anymore, only Facebook, Twitter and Google+, so it might have been disabled altogether, see my related posting on Get Satisfaction: https://getsatisfaction.com/lastfm/topics/deezer-down?topic-reply-list[settings][filter_by]=all&topic-reply-list[settings][reply_id]=19799416#reply_19799416 By the way, the URL embedding tool on this forum is broken, it cannot understand long URLs like the one above.

It might be possible that the [url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.last.android]official Last.fm Android app[/url] is still able to scrobble Deezer, but you have to enable that option in its settings. Unfortunately this does not work with the official iOS app from Last.fm, as far as I know.
