[Solved] Can't connect to Last.fm account
« on: November 29, 2023, 09:45:59 am »

I've got a new installation of MC31 on a W11 box and no matter what I do I can't seem to get the "Connect to Last.fm account..." button to pop up the authorization window. I'm using Edge as my default browser and it's a brand new W11 installation. Log attached.

Did you set up the login / password in MC's options?

Try logging in outside MC.  Maybe you'll learn something useful.

There's no place to add a username/password in MC's settings, typically the button will launch an authentication window where I enter my credentials and JRiver is added as an authorized external scrobbler. I tried logging in using Edge on the device and didn't have any issues. I also tried switching from a remote to local library to rule that out as well. My other devices that are already authenticated don't have any issues with scrobbling.

Click on "Connect to Last.FM Account".  That opens a web page for me, where I can log in.

It's not opening anything for me  :-\

I've done this a million times in the past without any issues, it's just this new installation that is giving me problems. It's a two days old fresh W11 install that I've barely touched.

Did an uninstall/reinstall of MC and now the authentication window pops up, but after I grant access on Last.fm to MC, MC does not seem to save the account settings and will ask me to reauthorize at the start of any playback.

Edit: I switched my default browser to Firefox and the authentication stuck, all good now. Not sure if there is an Edge issue lurking in there or not.
