Since 2 weeks, music is not scrobbled correctly : Only fews titles are scrobbled.

Last.fm told me that it is on your side.

When will you be able to resolve the problem ?

Dears,

My scrobbles at Last.fm are updated only when I use the web player. No update using iOS ou Desktop App (Mac).

Any suggestion to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Updating: after Deezer logout/login Last.fm scrobble is working fine in all devices.

Official last.fm app is definitely not scrolling tracks played in Deezer on iOS because, as far as I remember, it scrobbles only the tracks added to the Music app

Hi,

I can’t connect my deezer account to last.fm. I allow the acces, but It doesn’t work.

Anyone have the same problem?

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.

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.

Hi guys, we've already passed this on to our team and last.fm is looking into it as well. We have an ongoing discussion on this topic too

We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more 🙂

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.


Yes. I am unsubscribing from Premium due to this very problem, which has been going on for at least one week.

There is no scrobble through the android app, when will that return?

Works now for me!

I can confirm that the internal scrobbling option of the Deezer web player works again, also with the same quirks as before, i.e. not submitting the ampersand symbol in artist and track names and only scrobbling after a track has ended, not after 50% of the track length. Using their old Windows 10 app will also scrobble then, probably just like their mobile apps as well. I don't know if their new beta desktop app also uses the internal scrobble option then or not, as I cannot test it.

Finally, nice news here! Just checked it on Web/Chrome/MacOS both old and new design , and iOS app - everything is working immediately. Thank you for the fix, Deezer, and don't forget about scrobbler for all your further updates 😉

Thanks for coming back to us. A lot of scrobbles have appeared today with the same issue of multiple scrobbles (i.e. two songs being scrobbled for 20-30 times each).

Still nothing works for me. Only with plugin. I was desperate for some solution to the problem. I bought a Yandex music subscription.

Same here... some songs did appear with some weird random delay (days / weeks).

It would be nice if the developer also fix the problem with double (at the moment single ... ;-)) scrobbling of songs in combination Sonos & Deezer.

Some but not all of the tracks I have listened in the last couple of weeks have appeared in last.fm. Although the dates are totally wrong (some of the tracks I listened about two weeks ago were scrobbled yesterday). But it still not scrobbling as I play. I use webplayer and android.

An idea of when this issue will be solved? I'm really considering moving to Spotify because of that...

Last.fm scrobbling is broken. Haven't seen anything since 7 nov 2018. Doesn't work on mobile app or browser.

It works.

On Android I use Last.fm Scrobbler and on my Chromebook I use Web Scrobbler.

These all works, everything gets posted on my Last.fm account.

Use alternative scrobblers until Deezer fixes it.

When worked their scrobbling didn’t work: not including the version of remix.

The Things You Hated is different from The Things You Hated (Da Tweekaz Remix).

Deezer Scrobbler posts only Track Name in most cases.

I’m using a DAP so I can’t just use alternative scrobblers. What I need is the built in scrobbler of Deezer. Just because it works for you doesn’t mean we should use your method as well. Because we are aware that those methods work. But it’s not applicable to use.

 

Thank you.

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.

Hi to all,

I had this problem since July or August, Deezer used to be my favourite music streaming service, I installed it to all of my devices since many years now, but I’m not using it anymore since months now, it’s such a shame cause I can’t scrobble some of my fav artists, since they’re not available on more ‘commercial music’ services. 

I jump here (and on LastFM forum...) to see the evolution of this problem every now and again, it seems very weird we’re in November and the problem it’s still not solved… Many users are unhappy 

Just my 2 cents.

i am happy that an lastfm integration is present on deezer, since i’ve wanted to move from spotify and this feature was gonna miss me. the problem now is that there is no “scrobbling now” feature which is kinda disappointing, since i’m relying on this feature on some external apps. is there any plans to implement it??

 

i sent an email about it to the support and they replied with “we only scrobble at the end of music” which is… sad

To see “Scrobbling now” in your recent tracks list on your Last.fm profile you have to use external scrobbling apps for Deezer, e.g. the Web Scrobbler browser extension with the Deezer web player or an Android scrobbling app with the Deezer Android app. They can provide the info about the currently playing track, but the internal Deezer scrobbling option does not.

If you are on Discord, the Music Presence app can also show your current track in your Discord status, but this will not show it on your Last.fm user profile.

@Private Person: There is no extra option for connecting Last.fm and Deezer in the iOS app or any other apps except for their web player in the Alerts & Sharing tab. This works via both APIs like Last.fm and Spotify, so it will scrobble with all Deezer devices and apps.

I believe this is intended behaviour. @bluezzbastardzz could you confirm?


Well, "intended" probably is the wrong word, because it looks like the Deezer API does not offer the option to read the currently playing track (please someone correct me if that is wrong). So the internal Deezer scrobbling cannot display the "Scrobbling now" track on your Last.fm user profile which would also need a different Last.fm API request than the one for scrobbling.

The browser extension Web Scrobbler can do this, but then you would have to use the Deezer web player exclusively which e.g. means no FLAC streaming if you have a HiFi account. So I prefer the internal Deezer scrobbling with the desktop app and correct the mistakes afterwards with the new Last.fm feature of bulk editing the scrobbles in your library.

Last but not least the Mentor.fm online tool uses Deezer as its playback source, and it also displays the currently playing track in its GUI (not for scrobbling), but I don't know how this works if the Deezer API does not offer it.

By the way, while this thread is one year old and has almost 19k views, there also is a similar idea with "only" 3.5k views and 95 votes, so maybe these two should be merged or at least more interested people should vote on the idea.

These late scrobbles have the current date and time though, as if I have just heard them.

And something is wrong with this forum again, no Edit option for postings anymore, and missing icons, too.
