Description

It seems that when Audacious encounters a certain kind of ID3 parse error, it updates the track information many many times, causing the scrobbler plugin to submit the same track hundreds of times in a row (eg: my last.fm account shows 17,000 scrobbles of a track which I've listened to a few hundred times.)

Here's a track which causes the problem: http://chris.ill-logic.com/files/Pigbag%20-%20Papas%20Gotta%20Brand%20New%20Bag.mp3

Here's what my last.fm feed looks like: http://chris.ill-logic.com/images/audacious-overscrobbling.png

Here's what Audacious prints to the console after loading the track:

History

#1 Updated by John Lindgren over 10 years ago

I can't reproduce this at all; the example MP3 file is scrobbled just once for me. As a side note, the "parser error" is referring to an XML parser (last.fm API uses a lot of XML), not an ID3 parser.

Not enough information to reproduce. Closing.
