Scrobble Last.fm from Deezer not working

Many thanks! Was not aware of this ongoing discussion on the Last.fm support forum. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon.

I am not sure the delay is a reason for the current issue.

My last scrobbles are now older than 48 hours, they just stopped dead from one moment to the next.

Isn’t it possible to fix these issues? What is the reason for this?

Even my really really old foobar2k scrobbler plugin works immediately and can scrobble “special” characters (these are rarely special, I assumed at first you meant exotic unicode glpyhs).

Same here. This huge delay is indeed a consequence of a technical issue that needs to be fixed yet. Hopefully it will be the case very soon, as this has been going on for a week already. Another week and I will probably go and see if the grass is greener elsewhere.

I am answering you here, because this thread is more suitable than the other one, where it was about some option being absent :)

The delay, if it is merely a delay, is now longer than 72 hours. In any case, this issue should be addressed by the Deezer support team.

Using external solutions is not an adequate alternative, as you have to install it to for each platform and invite additional dependencies and maintenance effort.

Okay, some update. Weird update.

I just got some scrobbles pushed to last.fm. About 12 songs I supposedly listened to within the last 4 hours. I did not listen to songs the last 4 hours. So not only is the scrobbler probably pushing with an extreme (!) delay, but it is also using the timestamp of the scrobble to last.fm and not the timestamp when the song was actually played.

I’m sorry, but this thing needs to be reimplemented. It is dysfunctional and even under best circumstances working wrong.

I sent an email to Deezer about this and (myself and it seems many others according to the last.fm support thread) received this mesage:

Thank you for your patience.
 
We have investigated the issue and found that the cause is not on our side. Please contact Last.fm directly to resolve the matter there.
 
Best regards

So it kind of seems they’ve wiped their hands clean of any fault, even though there are no technical details given and last.fm seemed to have a better understanding of what might be causing the block/delay?? Very frustrating!

This is also happening to me. Very frustrating. My first time using Deezer's internal scrobbling option (I was using Pano Scrobbler before). What's the point of having the option if it does not work as advertised?

This is utter bullsh*t. Sorry for my wording, but it is.

I just tested it with foobar2k and the scrobble plugin from 2010 (!) and it works flawlessly. I even get the “Scrobbling now” icon in last.fm when the song is just playing.

Could you respond to the Support guy and point him towards this thread? Or share how you contacted him in the first place?

Thanks for your efforts :)

Not a problem! I did respond asking them to re-investigate and got a reply this morning:

Thanks for the reply. 
 
We have started the investigation and will get back to you once there are updates. 
 
We are really sorry for the inconveniences.
