Lastfm plugin stopped working

[chefboyrdave 2]

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?

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.

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..

HI, did you read the above post? 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.

Have you figured out anyway to fix this? Will changing the API fix it?

We haven't looked at it yet. We'll investigate soon and then let you know what we find. Thanks.

I am on Windows and using both AudioDb and LastFm. I'll try deleting the LastFm Plugin and then using AudioDb. Thanks.

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.

Here's what's coming to the Emby LastFm plugin:
