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.

Right, on beta desktop app as well. The four tracks scrobbled earlier today were also added in the meantime with their correct time stamps.

By the way, Deezer also seems to scrobble a track when you are skipping it no matter at which part of the track. That is not a good idea in my opinion, because sometimes you just want to check a playlist/album/radio whatever and not listen to it. That is why the default implementation of Last.fm actually only scrobbles a track after at least 50% of its length.

Scrobbling is down on iOS. Again. 6hrs gone by and the scrobbles have yet to show up.

I can confirm that scrobbling is down on both iOS and web player. :(
A lot of tracks were not scrobbled during the day.

Today I've installed desktop version on Windows 10. No scrobbling.

Right, currently the beta desktop app does not scrobble. Hopefully Deezer will fix this soon.

If scrobbling is more important than sound quality to you and you are on a desktop computer, you can also use the browser extension Last.fm web scrobbler with the Deezer web player. It does not have the HiFi option though, so 320 kbps MP3 is the best audio setting there.

As far as I remember, the official Last.fm Android app is also able to scrobble from Deezer which you have to enable in its settings.

I'm using it from web player which is scrobbling to Last.FM. And since this is my work PC with only PC speakers, higher sound quality really isn't important. I want to use desktop client so that I could leave browser closed.

Yeah it's stopped working on desktop and unable to download scrobbler extension at work.
This is becoming quite a large pain in the arse.

Same here. Scrobbling again does not work on iOS (iPhone). It had been back to working fine the last 10 days or so, but has stopped scrobbling at some point yesterday. It worked yesterday in the morning, but not at night.
