My tracks haven't been submitted to lastfm for about a day now.. Any ideas?

The log you posted doesn't contain that much information, perhaps it's a network problem... You could try enabling xmp-scrobbler's debug mode to see what's going wrong.

[DarthCat]

I keep getting a "handshake with last.fm server failed!" error ([DEBUG] Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received). Why am I proving unable to connect with their server all of a sudden (for the last 12 hours or so) when I've been on this internet connection for several weeks (after moving recently) with no problems scrobbling? I was previously using scrobbler v.6 and XMPlay 3.3, but upgrading to 3.4 and v.8 did nothing to change the problem either way. Any advice would be appreciate, even if it's just "wait patiently". Thanks!

[DarthCat]

In fact, now that I look about their site... is there something funny going on with last.fm? I've gone to a few dozen user pages, and the most recently scrobbled track I've seen for ANY of them was 6 hours ago. Is that really just a coincidence?

[Dotpitch]

I keep getting a "handshake with last.fm server failed!"

It's the same here, I thought it was my internet connection acting up. Apparently Last.fm has some trouble, usually they fix that in a day or two, so just "wait patiently" . In the mean time xmp-scrobbler will save your tracks and submit them later.

[VariousThings]

Hi, I had the same problem yesterday, but I knew it was a problem with last.fm. During that time, the log file shows that tracks were happily added to the cache. However, NOW when I try to play a song in XMPlay with the scrobbler plugin enabled, it doesn't play the song and freezes XMPlay. It works fine with the plugin disabled.

I had a similar problem before (except that time it was at least playing half the song rather than none, and crashing when it came to the time it would try to upload it to Last.fm), and I solved it by deleting the .cache file. That time, there were only 10 tracks in the cache, so I wondered whether it was a problem related to large numbers of tracks. (But this time, 58 songs were added to the cache during the time I was either disconnected from the internet or Last.fm wasn't working, and I obviously don't want to lose those from my statistics! So this time I've just renamed the .cache file, rather than deleting it entirely. When this problem's solved, will there be a way to restore the track names from that cache and upload them?)

Here is the log file:

Last few songs I played while the Last.fm site wasn't working (they're video game remixes, if you're wondering):

Could you attach the problematic cache file?

[VariousThings]

OK, here it is, with .cache renamed to .gif so the forum will let me attach it.

[yagood]

Thanks, there's a bug somewhere indeed. Bad news is that you probably won't be able to submit this cache file  Sorry.

Do you have a log file from the time you were listening to these songs from the cache? It would help to find the bug. Thanks.

[VariousThings]

Do you have a log file from the time you were listening to these songs from the cache? It would help to find the bug. Thanks.

Unfortunately not, I had the log file limited to 64KB so that section isn't there any more. And in my other post I only included the section of the log file around the time the freezes started because I didn't think anything earlier would be helpful.

But if it happens again, I'll let you know and try to include a more complete log file!

(Thanks for the quick responses, by the way!)

It's OK, because your cache file explains quite a lot. If you look closely at it you'll see that at the end there's a malformed cache entry which is most likely causing the problem. So the question is, how did it get there? :-) I'll investigate this bug when I have some free time...

[Craw]

Of course they have. Even the xmpscrobbler identifies them as correct.

Could you please post a few lines from your log file when this problematic track is being submitted?

Hi, it's me again. It seems, that it is not xmplayscobbler's fault at all. I thought that last.fm servers take data from musicbrainz server, but they probably don't do so. They just check musicbrainz id whether it matches those stored on their server - if not, they submit title etc from the tags.
Of course its only a theory, but... 

[Zarggg]

Last night and today, I started getting crashes when trying to submit tracks. Here that the appropriate crash files and xm-scrobbler log:

Thanks for report, I think I've just got hit by this bug too.

[aka]

Any progress on that bug? XMplay crashes for me too when scrobbling tracks; I think since the latest update from last.fm...

Sorry, I know the development is painfully slow lately... I'll try to release new version once I get some reasonable amount of free time...

[amit]

Has anybody else also had problems with posting tracks' info to last.fm site in the last couple of weeks?
If I clear the cache the first file is posted fine but next tracks don't post again.

Here is a part of the log:

...

It's goes on with the same behavior for all tracks.

[raina]

There's definitely something up with Last.fm currently, so I'd wait a bit to let things normalize. By something I mean scrobbled tracks have disappeared. Personally, about a hundred of my latest scrobbled tracks have gone missing but I've heard people losing thousands.

[Zarggg]

Just wanted to post real quick and state that the issue I was having is resolved. The plugin must have been corrupted somehow, as deleting and reinstalling it fixed the problem.
