Ever since I upgraded Amarok yesterday on Kubuntu 7.10, Amarok can't submit any track to last.fm:

Code: Select all

Failed to submit several tracks to last.fm

The log looks like this:

At first I thought it was a last.fm problem, but the site worked fine. Then I started Audacious and it submitted tracks to last.fm without any problems.
Somewhere in these (or last.fm) forums I read that if I change my password on last.fm to my current password, that Amarok will submit tracks then, so I did that and it really did submit tracks, until I restart Amarok. Today, the problems still remains.

This must be an Amarok bug because my other players are submitting tracks to last.fm without any problems!

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Are you behind a proxy or a firewall?
If so you may have to configure your internet settings as such in the control centre.

Same here. I just changed my password on Amarok's Last.fm preferences and I changed it on Last.fm site, too. And Amarok started scrobbling again. But, as soon as I closed Amarok without rebooting the system, and started Amarok again, I've had the same problem again. To have Amarok regularly scrobbling, you should change your last.fm password everytime you close Amarok, and update your Amarok preferences, too!
I have Linux firewall on, with Firestarter GUI, but  it has been working on my system during the last 10 months, I guess, and Amarok never got a trouble.
I think this can be a bug of Amarok's newer version.
Anyone can help us, please?

Oooops! I forgot the good manners...
:wink:

For all bug reports it is vital to tell us:

    * Amarok version, or whether you use SVN Amarok (provide revision no.)  ---> Amarok 1.4.8 on KDE 3.5.8
    * Which distro you're using                                                                                    ---> Ubuntu 7.10 (regularly updated)
    * What type of music you're trying to play                                                            ---> regular mp3s
    * What engine you use! - I can't emphasise this enough!                                ---> Xine

I guess the two last answers are useless to solve our problem... but I put them here anyway.
Bye and thanks in advance for your help.

No, I don't have a firewall, nor any proxy!

Same issue for me. Same setup as pugliamix, except I'm on Gentoo and playing both Oggs and MP3s. My backup music player on another machine is happily scrobbling through the official client - however, I did note that my .scrobbler.log submitter was also having the same issue today, so I have a suspicion it's a change in their backend that's caused it.

I've been having problems over the last few days.  If you go to the last.fm site and go to change your password but put the same one back in, then you should be able to submit again.  Nothing needs changing in amarok.  Why it works I don't know but it did for me 

I just noticed this problem. I think we are all running some variant of Ubuntu and upgraded the version that was in gutsy-backports 2:1.4.8-0ubuntu3~gutsy1. We should file a bug report for this at launchpad, or perhaps there is one already for this issue.

Edit1: I tried downgrading to 1.4.7 and the problem still exists, so this issue should be a last.fm and amarok issue, and does not seem to relate to the recent update for Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 7.10 with 1.4.7 and 1.4.8 and Kubuntu 7.10 with 1.4.8

Edit2: Other Last.fm users are having the issue too http://www.last.fm/forum/34905/_/387846/1

I just had to restart the system because of a lack of power supply and everything seems to be working now.
Amarok submits every track I listen to, and it submits the track you're currently listening to, also. 
Can someone confirms it's all been fixed now?

It also works for me, and the queued tracks also got sent.

Last.fm must have had a hiccup, and this time it was long enough for me to notice.
