Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

Hi @Lucelia.Mascarenhas,

It is possible to link your Deezer account to your Scrobble Last FM account from a computer/laptop using this link:

https://www.deezer.com/account/share

You should see the Scrobble as the option on the right.

As far as I remember, Deezer’s internal scrobbling option wasn’t working correctly around that time and was simply lagging several hours with submitting the scrobbles to your Last.fm account, so probably it was coincidence that it started working for you again after reinstalling. This lagging occurs from time to time, and the only thing you can do in this case is wait.

OK, so to summarize: it seems that this issue was partially-solved.

It works, BUT... only for some people, and only on the web player/desktop app. Android app still doesn't scrobble?

I've grown quite comfortable with 3rd party solutions for scrobbling instead of the half-hearted official Deezer implementations. The only instance where I'd need this is in the desktop app.

Is there any way to enable/disable scrobbling per app? (for example: off on webplayer, off on Android, on on desktop) Or is the toggle option global only?

I assume you mean the beta desktop app, not the old Windows 10 app, right? Someone just confirmed that the beta desktop app also scrobbles to Last.fm, although it does not have the Sharing option to link it like the web player. That would be same for Windows 10 app and the mobile apps, because linking the web player uses the API to connect to your Last.fm account, so the device does not matter. If that linking via web player doesn't work though, all other apps will not scrobble either. So you cannot enable scrobbling per app, only use a browser extension which also scrobbles from Deezer besides many other sites.

Still waiting. I've tried resetting, relinking, two separate last.fm account. Did not work on: web player on Google Chrome Version 70.0.3538.102, android application and the beta version of the program on Windows 10. Also tried on Google Home speaker integrated with a Deezer account - did not scrobble.

Works on iOS on iPad so far, and weirdly enough, it did scrobble a song on Microsoft Edge.

Hopefully, it will get fixed.

ok did some checking, seem that scrobbling on android app is working on the official catalogue, but scrobbling the uploaded mp3 songs from pc via deezer are not scrobbled at all like before.

I can confirm that scrobbling works for me also from the Android app (my version number is 6.0.3.44) -- in addition to the web player and the beta desktop app. Talking about the normal Deezer catalogue here. Hopefully all will have the same experience soon. And then, just looking forward to a proper implementation! 😉 Tracks that are barely started before skipping should obviously not be registered.

This only works with the external browser extension Last.fm web scrobbler which is available for Chrome, Opera and Firefox.

I can confirm scrobbling has also stopped with the beta desktop app. Last successful scrobble was 17 hours ago.
