From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050302 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2 Description of problem: Scrobbler requirements are (iirc): Track must be at least 30 seconds long Track must play at least 50% This build seems to submit immediately upon start of playback. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): amarok.i386 0:1.2.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start amarok 2. Configure for scrobbler submission 3. Play track Actual Results: Indicator says track is submitted immediately Expected Results: Amarok should wait for at least 30 seconds, then for at least 50% of playback before submission. Additional info: Could this be related to bug 151329?
The amarok devlopers are aware of the scrobbler specs : http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94417 The limit seems to be 240 seconds, not 30.
http://www.audioscrobbler.com/development/protocol.php is the full protocol spec. I was getting 30 seconds confused with minimum track length for submission. Either way, amarok should not immediately submit data.
Work around for 151329 fixes this issue.
