Songbird DOES NOT login to last fm

Hi, my Songbird doesn't login to last fm

What can I do?

When I press the button to log in, the program spends a lot of time apparently trying to log in and it never does.

I tried reinstalling the add on, but the problem still happening :(

O.S. Debian Lenny 5.0
Songbird version 1.4.3.
Last.fm Scrobbler add on version 1.0.0.1430

Mmm :( I wanted to reinstall it but there's no support for linux anymore

The issue is tracked in bug 21359. There will be an update release for 1.7 to carry the fix for this problem. Please cc yourself to the bug list to get updates if you're interested."

For me that started on Saturday after I did a fresh install of Lucid. I don't remember what version of SB I was running before, now it's 1.4.3 and it just won't log in.

Yes, I think they already know about it and they will probably fix it in the next update. Is it me or does Songbird 1.7 use up more resources (RAM) than iTunes. After uninstalling Songbird it also ends up screwing up my iTunes. Think I'll give it one more shot when they release version 2.0.

Again, find the solution here: http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/cant_login_last_fm-z7ql0

I've replaced the old 1.4.3 with 1.7.3, updated the add-ons (incl. the last.fm one) and now it's working. There's something new now - a webpage loaded withing the songbird browser and asked me to grant songbird permissions to connect to my last.fm account and scrobble.

A binary of the the new version is available here: http://skyzim.com/songbird-1-7-3-installer/

Good luck...

as simple as that ... works fine now :D

Hi, after being asked to grant permissions, access was authenticated, but the player doesn't connect to last.fm. Has last.fm changed authentication procedure and the old patch doesn't function anymore?
I use Songbird 1.2 (best for my iPod sync), Ubuntu 10.4

smygen a dit :
After installing Windows7 (32 bit) I can't login to the Last.FM plugin on Songbird 1.7.3. I get the "Allow access" page, I click "Yes, allow access", but when I try to login again, another page asking me to allow access appears.

The exact same problem here: browser connects to last.fm ok, but the plug-in just ceased to function and the "connecting to Last.fm" keeps being displayed interminably. It seems that last.fm has changed authentication procedure and the connection path name from http://www.last.fm/api/grantaccess to http://www.last.fm/grantaccess. I suppose the problem is in the sbLastFm.js script patch that was written for the old connection path (excuses, I don't know technicalities at all) and doesn't mesh with the new one. Perhaps, fixing this problem requires a new script or making some changes to the existing one!? We need master Alfred from Songbird here to resolve it.

I can't login to last.fm from songbird the whole Saturday. It keeps opening the page granting access to my lst.fm account though I've granted it already many times. What the hell is wrong??

I was able to fix this problem on my install of Songbird 1.7.3 on Windows 7 by following Play-Actor 's suggestion. I edited the sbLastFm.js file and changed line 1399 from

if (loc.pathname != "/api/grantAccess") {
to

if (loc.pathname != "/api/grantaccess") {
For me, it was just the uppercase A in grantaccess that was causing the problem. It is working for now.

I even tried to get a beta version: the songbird 1.8...why the hell doesn't it work?
