Hi,

I just found out that the last.fm scrobbler in Media Center generates duplicate entries, but I have no idea why. I do listen to the tracks via DLNA, but I haven't found an option to configure last.fm settings at the server, so I guess that shouldn't be an issue.

Have a look at http://www.lastfm.de/user/jk82/tracks. Does anyone else have this problem?

Regards, JK

First, make sure that you have not enabled scrobbling in both MC and the DLNA device you are playing to.

Even if scrobbling is not enabled on the DLNA device there are situations where you can get duplicate scrobbles from MC. This is a known issue. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.

If scrobbling can be enabled on the DLNA device you are playing to, you might want to try to disable scrobbling in MC in the meantime.

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately my receiver doesn't enable last.fm scrobbling so it shouldn't be the issue. Do you know what causes the duplicate entries?

Can you describe your setup a little more, JK? Are you playing from the server or a client machine? Which version of MC are you using?

I scrobble a LOT using JRiver and never have an issue with duplicate entries, unless a 3rd party application or device is involved.

Sure! I'm using the latest version (18.0.129) and am playing from a server to different devices (two receivers and a HTPC client). I don't have any 3rd party applications regarding last.fm installed. When I start playing a song it says "scrobbling now via JRiver Media Center" (or so) on my last.fm user page, and when the song ends, it produces a duplicate entry.

This doesn't seem to happen when I skip the song, and it seems that it didn't happen for the last songs that I played, but then again there could be a delay in the upload (see http://www.lastfm.de/user/jk82/tracks).

Thanks! So this has been know for some time now but not been addressed yet?

Still have no idea what could cause this... And it's getting stranger every day. Take a look at this list:

Some are duplicates, some not... Although I did listen to the album in a whole and didn't skip any track. Interesting!

-JK-, I finally got hit by this problem as well. I'm getting double scrobbles when playing to my JRiver Id box, which is basically a DLNA renderer.

Yeah, I still have that as well, and I just checked: only the songs that have been played to the end are duplicate, the songs I skipped only show up once (though they shouldn't show up at all, I guess). Can anyone track this problem down?
