Just recently stumbled across the Last.FM plugin so I decided to give it a try.
Realized when in the settings, need to provide API key and API secret, so I logged into my Last.FM account and setup API via developer API. Added the key and secret, a long with my account/password in the plugin settings but when I save, it throws error Authentication failed, you do not have permissions to access the service. Anyone seen this? Do you really need an API key just to scrobble from Volumio?
Iāve had the plugin installed for a while, assuming it was working correctly, but if I go into the plugin settings and click āSave,ā I get the same error message as you.
In fact, when I tried playing a couple of tracks, they werenāt scrobbled.
I think itās likely a temporary issue though, as Iām sure the plugin was working fine at least until Sunday (the last time I listened to music via Volumio). Even on Last.fmās connected apps page on my account (https://www.last.fm/it/settings/applications), it shows the pluginās last use was on Sunday the 13th.
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention!
The problem youāre experiencing is related to the LastFm API, which is a third-party plugin. I recommend reaching out directly to the developer for further assistance. Theyāll be able to provide you with the best support. We appreciate your understanding!
Best regards,

Sayiato hasnāt been on the forum for over a year, so I doubt heāll show up now.
Is anyone able to reach him through other means?
Alternatively, could someone else take a look at the plugin for him?
Losing the scrobbling feature would be a major drawback for many users, myself included
Okay, guys, after a ton of attempts following the āadviceā from ChatGPT and the Last.fm documentation (specifically the āauthā section), I wasnāt able to resolve the issue; I kept getting the same error.
Then, I went back to the plugin interface and realized that the āLastFM Passwordā field displayed fewer ādotsā (the characters of the password covered) than the length of my actual password. So, I re-entered it, and now it works!
Now, Iām not sure if the issue was with my password (though I canāt explain why it changed in the interface since I never modified it) or if I fixed it during one of the countless attempts involving various token and session authorizations. The bottom line is, it works now!
Oh, by the way, Iāve noticed that every time I restart, it seems to reset to the wrong password. This isnāt a browser cache issue because it happens even in an incognito window
How can I prevent double scrobbling when playing music via TIDAL Connect and CORRD?
Iām using the Last.fm plugin and would like to avoid duplicate scrobbles when I play a track from my phone using TIDAL Connect or CORRD.
What exactly should I enter in the pluginās exclusion list to properly exclude these two sources?
Thanks in advance
P.S. I scrobble both apps on smartphone with Pano Scrobbler.
Iāve managed to identify the correct service name for TIDAL Connect to add to the Last.fm pluginās blacklist: tidalconnect. This successfully prevents double scrobbling when I play music from the TIDAL app on my smartphone (where scrobbling is already handled by Pano Scrobbler).
However, I havenāt been able to do the same for CORRD. I couldnāt find any clear service reference in the logs that I could use to blacklist it in the plugin.
Does anyone know how to prevent double scrobbling when using the CORRD app on a smartphone to connect to Volumio?
