chefboyrdave 2 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 My lastfm plugin has stopped working all together. All of my music artist info and pictures from lastfm are no longer showing up in my library.Is this a bug or can I do something else to resolve this?
Luke 42077 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Hi there, please discuss an example and attach the information requested in how to report a problem. thanks.
wedgekc 12 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 The likely cause is last.fm changing their api recently. I also have issues with artist images from last.fm, some artist images showing as a star placeholder. https://getsatisfaction.com/lastfm/topics/api-announcement-dac8oefw5vrxq
chefboyrdave 2 Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 Hello, When opening my music library a lot of the artist and album covers have suddenly disappeared. I always put my music files through Musicbrainz Picard before adding them to my Emby Library. This is so I can make sure everything is tagged properly. I have also noticed that the artist photos that have disappeared were all generated from lastfm and I am not able to replace them with any other fetchers..

We'll have to investigate the last.fm api changes and see if we can continue using them. If you are on Windows then AudioDb is still available.

Will changing the API fix it?
Luke 42077 Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 We haven't looked at it yet. We'll investigate soon and then let you know what we find. Thanks.

Luke 42077 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 We tested last.fm and it is working just fine now. We'll push an update to the plugin so that you won't get the star images anymore. last.fm sends those back as defaults when there are no images. we'll just ignore them now. 1
