Package: rhythmbox Version: 0.12.6-1 Severity: important When Rhythmbox scrobbles plays from an iPod (and presumably other media players), it scrobbles them as at the time they were played on the media player.
This means that if you have any later scrobbles from another source (e.g. directly from Rhythmbox itself), the earlier media player scrobbles get ignored by Last.fm as part of its anti-spam system. It would be better to follow the approach taken by Amarok 1.4, of submitting the media player scrobbles backwards from the time the scrobbles are submitted. Example: if I listen to tracks A and B on my media player at 12 noon and 12.05 pm on 1 January, then listen to track C on Rhythmbox at 1 pm on 2 January, and then plug my media player in to Rhythmbox at 2 pm on 3 January, the current behaviour of Rhythmbox means the track A and B scrobbles will be timestamped 12 noon and 12.05 pm on 1 January, and Last.fm will then ignore it as it pre-dates the existing scrobble of track C. The Amarok-type behaviour would be to submit track A with the timestamp 2 pm on 3 January and track B with the timestamp 1.55 pm (say) on 3 January. Last.fm then records these quite happily. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable'), (90, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages rhythmbox depends on: ii dbus 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii gconf2 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-icon-theme 2.28.0-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii gstreamer0.10-alsa [gs 0.10.25-7 GStreamer plugin for ALSA ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.17-1 GStreamer plugins from the "bad" s ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.25-7 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins- 0.10.17-1 GStreamer plugins from the "good" ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaud 0.10.17-1 GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio ii gstreamer0.10-x 0.10.25-7 GStreamer plugins for X11 and Pang ii libatk1.0-0 1.28.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libavahi-client3 0.6.25-2 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.25-2 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.25-2 Avahi glib integration library ii libbrasero-media0 2.28.2-1 CD/DVD burning library for GNOME - ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.82-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-4.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.11-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.28.2-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome-media0 2.28.1-1 runtime libraries for the GNOME me ii libgpod4 0.7.2-2 library to read and write songs an ii libgstreamer-plugins-b 0.10.25-7 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.25-2 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhal1 0.5.14-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liblircclient0 0.8.3-5 infra-red remote control support - ii libmtp8 0.3.7-7 Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) libr ii libmusicbrainz4c2a 2.1.5-3 Second generation incarnation of t ii libnotify1 [libnotify1 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libsoup-gnome2.4-1 2.28.2-1 an HTTP library implementation in ii libsoup2.4-1 2.28.2-1 an HTTP library implementation in ii libtotem-plparser12 2.28.2-1 Totem Playlist Parser library - ru ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library ii libxml2 2.7.6.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii python 2.5.4-4 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-gnome2 2.28.0-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gst0.10 0.10.17-1 generic media-playing framework (P ii python-gtk2 2.16.0-1 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii python-support 1.0.6 automated rebuilding support for P ii python2.5 2.5.4-3 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages rhythmbox recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.25-2 Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD daemon ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ug 0.10.13-2 GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" ii gvfs-backends 1.4.1-6 userspace virtual filesystem - bac ii hal 0.5.14-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii notification-daemon 0.4.0-2 a daemon that displays passive pop ii yelp 2.28.0+webkit-1 Help browser for GNOME Versions of packages rhythmbox suggests: pn gnome-codec-install <none> (no description available) ii gnome-control-center 1:2.28.1-1 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.17-1 GStreamer plugins from the "bad" s ii python-coherence 0.6.4-4 Python UPnP framework -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
