Ooh lovely. I'd try this straightaway, but Preston North End (my home city) are playing Leeds in the playoff finals, it's just about to start, so i'll have to wait a couple of hours to try it:D

Thank you.

Mind sharing the dll without any of that installer crap?

Sure, I've updated the post

Thank you. You just made the life easier for many people including me.

Come on man, like it was a big deal having an installer....

does the plugin without the installer need libcurl.dll?

Wow, thanks!

How does this compare to the Audioscrobbler beta program that the Last.fm people are pushing?

Thank you.

No, even the installer doesn't include libcurl. It's a complete rewrite without libcurl, because libcurl caused some problems.


It's comparable to the standalone plugin we had for foobar2000 0.8.3 (but hopefully without the bugs :B). It does the same as the new beta Audioscrobbler, except that you won't need to run the additional Audioscrobbler application in the system notification area.

Actually it is. There is an English word for it too, the word is `overkill'. Or do you by chance pack an installer with every single file you send to your friends via email? I hope you don't.

@OP:
So far the plugin has worked without problems. Thank you for this update.

Then just run the installer and save the dll it installs. Not hard for a l33t installer hater like you eh?

I actually agree with you personally, i'd rather have the dll, but I think the OPs response was provoked by you calling an installer 'crap'. Other people find them useful and you could have been a bit more polite.

Can you please stop talking about the installer. There is the choice, just download what you prefer.

Personally I don't need the installer, but I kept it because all previous releases of the component are shipped with an installer. I thought I could circumvent a discussion about it, by simply keeping it like it was before.

Obviously I was wrong.

Ah, sorry about that.

I've got round to trying this and i'm getting this in my console:

Not submitting. Cache contains 1 tracks.
Not submitting. Cache contains 2 tracks.
Not submitting. Cache contains 3 tracks.
Not submitting. Cache contains 4 tracks.
Not submitting. Cache contains 5 tracks.
Not submitting. Cache contains 6 tracks.
Not submitting. Cache contains 7 tracks.
Not submitting. Cache contains 8 tracks.

last.fm appears to be up. Any ideas?

What do you get on the console when you start foobar2000. Is there some message about handshaking?

Ah, I got it to work by deleting my config file. Thank you.

Submitting track to Audioscrobbler...
Submission failed: bad authorization.
Submitting 2 cached tracks to Audioscrobbler...
Submission failed: bad authorization.
Submitting 3 cached tracks to Audioscrobbler...
Submission failed: bad authorization.
Submitting 4 cached tracks to Audioscrobbler...
Submission failed: bad authorization.
Submitting 5 cached tracks to Audioscrobbler...
Submission failed: bad authorization.

it was working fine earlier...

Did you try to restart foobar2000? Normally a re-handshake should solve BADAUTH issues.

I updated the component, but everytime I close foobar2000, the program window disappears, but the process remains active. To be sure it's not another component (I updated several), I renamed the extension to .dl_ and foobar2000 closes entirely now.

Unfortunately, the hanging issue seems to be still there.

If you are interested, this is what the console reads:

I also noticed foobar.exe ghost after installing foo_audioscrobbler. Deleted it and haven't had any since.

FWIW, I don't get a ghost process when I quit fb2k, and I have this component installed.

I too get a ghosted foobar with this plugin

It quits fine today. Florian, any chance the ghost process appears when the plugin wasn't able to reach the submit server?

I was able to reproduce this two or three times and I'm working on a solution currently. Seems that it's not related to the submissions server being online or not.

Thanks for pointing!

i had the same. it was ghosting yesterday, today it works ,
btw. my fb2k eats up more than 17 meg of ram (but most probably this is not related to audioscrobbler)

Version 1.3.1 fixes a problem with leaving a ghost process of foobar2000 on exit and adds the reset page feature to to preferences page.

After updating to 0.3.1 I'm constantly getting 100% cpu usage.
Can send you my foobar2000.cfg if you need it for your investigations.

edit: Unfortunately I deleted the 0.3.0. Can somebody please upload it somewhere? TIA.

You can try with 1.3.2 from the initial post

working like a charm, thanks for the quick update

works great here. thank you for this nice plugin.

thanks for the update

I got "Cannot connect to server. " with 1.3.2 all the time.. What to do?
I have tried to delete the foobar2000.cfg but still the same thing.
Don't have any firewall or NAT.
With 1.2.6 it works just fine, but foobar crashes at exit.

So apparently nothing has been submitted for over a week. I checked and I had over 400 in my cache and my last.fm hasn't updated at all. I've even removed my config file and tried anew and still this is all I get in the console every time a song is played:


Any idea what's going on?

Sweet, I was wondering why foobar never seemed to close (which caused much frustration when trying to update plugins, as they were already being accesed by the ghost =)

Just use version 1.2.6, 1.3.2 isn't working.

Where can I find a copy of v1.2.6? All the links I find don't work.

I have occasionally been getting a message from Last.fm saying "Some tracks you submitted have not been added to your profile for the following reason: Spam protection triggered: You submitted a track dated earlier than your last submission."

Today I ran ethereal to sniff the submissions to Last.fm and noticed the duplicate it spoke of. If seemed to happen after I played a track without title information. Audioscrobbler did not submit that track (correctly), but after the track finished it submitted the previous track (that had title information) again with the same timestamp as when it submitted it previously.

From my console:

[15:50:21] Submission succeeded.
[15:52:45] on_endoftrack
[15:52:48] Track has no artist or title info - not submitting to Audioscrobbler.
[15:53:49] Track has no artist or title info - not submitting to Audioscrobbler.
[15:55:34] Submitting track to Audioscrobbler...
[15:55:35] Submission succeeded.

The first submission is for the track with file info. I then played one track without title info. The submission at 15:55 had the same content as the one from 15:50 -- the track with the title info.

Thank you for that!

oh noes
i see theres this 1.3x that fixes the hang on foobar exit (just what i wants!)
then i gets to the end of thread,
and everyone is says use 1.2.6

Well... i haven't used this component, so i don't know how reliable it is. But if it isn't working for you, you could try the Audioscrobbler Beta, which has been working pretty awesome for me since i started using it a couple weeks ago. It requires you to run a stand-alone application in the background, but it isn't as annoying as it sounds (it's tiny and it starts with foobar automatically).

Of course, before you do that you should report the problem to Florian, you know, so he can try to fix it.

It's working great for me. Thank you very much! Your work is much appreciated!

1.3.2 is working perfectly fine for me. (foobar .9.3.1, windows 2000)

Is there any way to implement a "flush cache" or a "submit cache" button? Or both? Thanks.

I agree, to have "submit cache" button will be good. It will not need to listen new track specially for sending cached info to server.

I see this as well if I leave the player open for a while without using it. Any chance of enhancing the plugin so that if it does fail to submit due to bad authorization, it'll try to re-handshake on its own? Not that closing and restarting foobar is that big a deal but it'd be nice if I could skip that step

foo_audioscrobbler 1.3.3 hopefully fixes some random DNS issues and re-handshakes on bad authorization responses.

Thanks! I've just installed v1.3.3
