They're doing some migrations, so it's down for... some days?

from mpdas.

Yeah, it seems to be due to the migration. I can't scrobble from other clients, either.

from mpdas.

http://status.last.fm/ seems to confirm this.

from mpdas.

Are you still having problems?

from mpdas.

still

from mpdas.

Okay thanks, I'll take a look at it later.

from mpdas.

My account is now scrobbling correctly

from mpdas.

@pcwalden - you rehashed passwd again or just do nothing?

from mpdas.

I did nothing, it just started working again.

from mpdas.

I can not confirm this problem, either. Can you please double check your configuration?

from mpdas.

I'm having the same issues. mpdas gives me:

(15:41:57) [ERROR] Code: 4
(15:41:57) [ERROR] Authentication failed. Please check your login data.

as above. Scrobbling from herrie works fine though, with the same credentials. Maybe it depends on the exact server one is authenticating to?

from mpdas.

ill check my configuration :) i rehashed psswd again, with this command:

echo -n "psswd" | md5sum

still not working

from mpdas.

Doesn't work for me neither.
Also, when using Scrobb from my phone, it doesn't scrobble directly. Maybe Last.FM still has issues with scrobbling?

from mpdas.

Since the migration isn't complete yet, I'd blame it on that. The protocol hasn't changed, mpdas worked before and it still works for some people. I don't think mpdas is the issue here..

from mpdas.

Still working for me.

My last.fm username has uppercase letters. If I use it as is in mpdas config the login fails as described in the issue (since the beta site launched), but if I put it all lowercased, mpdas can log in successfully. Can anyone else of the people having login problems confirm that this uppercase/lowercase nonsense is the cause?

Anyway, it looks that this is not exactly a mpdas issue, since authentication is rejected directly by the Last.fm API. I don't know where to look to see if this is a documented change or if it should be reported to them.

from mpdas.

Jep, after changing the upercase letters in my username to lowercase ones in mpdasrc I am able to authenticate and scrobble.

from mpdas.

Glad to hear that! I will merge the patch submitted by agjacome. Thanks everyone!

from mpdas.

Just a heads up, the bug is still present in mpdas 0.4.3-1.

The fix is the same as @agjacome mentioned.

from mpdas.

Mhh, that's a little odd. The fix by @agjacome should be merged since 0.4.0..
