Music Played via DLNA is Scrobbled Incorrectly to Last.fm

Post by MaFt »

When I listen to a track over DLNA it gets scrobbled straight away as 'played' but the 'Now Playing' isn't sent to Last.fm.

Is this a known issue and is it a bug with MM4 itself or the Last.fm plugin?

I rely on the 'now playing' stuff from Last.fm for a couple of scripts that I run on my server. When I play the track in Media Monkey directly then it does the 'now playing' as well as the 'submit'. However over DLNA it only does the 'submit'.

Hope this makes sense?!!

I think it isn't done on purpose as MediaMonkey doesn't really know what is playing on DLNA clients. A client may be asking the next file when still playing the previous file from buffer.

Do you see double scrobbles for DLNA played music?
