Send love doesn't work on lastfm

[emagra]

While playing some some running

$: mpc channels
mpdscribble
$: mpc sendmessage mpdscribble love

doesn't work. No love shown on Lastfm

[BachoSeven]

Just tested this and it seems like it's not working, indeed. Any updates on why?

You did not specify your version number and no verbose log.

Here are some details:

• the package was installed from the mpdscribble-git AUR package, recompiled today from master (0.23.r60.gd62d214-2 )

• I started playing a song in MPD, and then executed

mpc --verbose sendmessage mpdscribble love

(which didn't return any error)

• Here is the journalctl -xeu log from the user unit for mpdscribble:

(includes the log until after the song ended)

In the end, going to https://www.last.fm/user/BachoSeven you can see that the "Filme Moi" song doesn't have a love attribute.

Using pylast, I managed to love tracks

I looked a bit to see what caused this bug. MPD and mpdscribble handle love without issue. It is submitted to last.fm according to the API 1.2 docs. It is the &r[0]=L in the url above. See https://www.last.fm/api/submissions

So the problem comes from last.fm. But API 1.2 is deprecated. I guess the only solution would be to rewrite mpdscribble to use the last.fm API 2.0 version.
