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.

Are you a family member, but not the account owner? Unfortunately those cannot see the Last.fm option in the Sharing Preferences and have to use external scrobbling apps like the Web Scrobbler browser extension.

Not true, as a family member account you actually can use the internal Scrobble option.
If I remember correctly; you first have to set up your personal Deezer-account and fix the Last.fm option in the Sharing Preferences. After that you join with that exact account as family member and the Sharing Preferences or Last.fm option will disappear, but scrobbling feature will still work anyway.😀 (https://www.last.fm/user/KingBarendrecht)
Yes i did this in feb 2021 and scrobbling still works.

That’s interesting, thanks for reporting. 👍 I have only read from family members and seen screenshots that they cannot enable scrobbling in the Sharing Preferences, but if it still works and only is not visible anymore after joining a family with their separate Free account, I will mention that in the Deezer Scrobbling FAQ of course.

May be should be tested, before put in the FAQ.

But if i remember correctly these were the steps to accomplish this.

Deezer's internal scrobbling has not been working for more than 7 hours.

However, Deezer's listening history is up to date and Last.fm works so I don't know why it doesn't scrobble anything.

What's going on? This is the second time this month that Deezer has stopped scrobbling.

There was a lagging problem with the internal Deezer scrobbling option yesterday, it took several hours to submit and update the scrobbles on your Last.fm profile. It should have fixed itself by now.

Track scrobbles are frequently missed for me. It worked flawlessly over the last couple of years; this problem appeared over the last week.

E.g. First three tracks are scrobbled, then the next two aren't. If I replay the missed track for ten seconds and hit "next", it scrobbles.

 

Edit: Seems like the listening history on Deezer isn't complete, although one of the missing songs still appeared in my last.fm scrobbles.

It is a known issue with the internal scrobbling option, please see the Deezer Scrobbling FAQ on the Last.fm support forum which also describes a workaround by using the Deezer web player and the Web Scrobbler browser extension or external Android scrobblers instead.
