Last.fm scrobbler info

[Traveller]

Copy the 2 DLLs into the folder with the last.fm program in it.

I thank you very much for at least trying to provide me the help I need, but the info is still almost as vague as before, and I am not much wiser now than 4 months ago...

This information would be extremely useful, if you could explain exactly which "2 DLLs" I need to copy into the Last.fm folder?
In the root directory there are these two dlls:

OpenSSL-Win32 root directory has only these two dlls: "libcrypto-1_1.dll" and "libssl-1_1.dll". - Are these the 2 dlls you referred to?

And further: Do I copy these 2 DLLs into the root directory of "Last.fm" or into the "Plugins" -folder in the "Last.fm" directory?

And finally: Do I need to copy these 2 dlls anywhere else? (If I do need to copy theme anywhere else, please tell me where)

And one more question: Is there any difference regarding Last.fm scrobbling from WACUP functionality, if I install 64-bit or 32 bit version of these OpenSSL libraries?

Many thanks for your continued patience in trying to resolve this annoying issue!
And... I do hope that the next release of WACUP would contain ready installed Last.fm scrobbling function!

HI traveller
I didn't need to update SSL about last.fm scrobbler
Perhaps the plugin folders are confusing.
1 download the scrobble app from last.fm https://www.last.fm/download/windows
2 install it. Fill your last.fm account.
3 you can run manualy the winamp installation plugin with menu file/ Install plug in / winamp. Or run it at c:\Program Files (x86)\Last.fm\plugins\WinampPluginSetup_2.1.0.11.exe
4 give the wacup folder while installation.
5 check that the file C:\Program Files (x86)\WACUP\Plugins\ml_wa2_scrobbler.dll is present
6 Check this previous file isn't in %AppData%\WACUP\Plugins
7 check as here    https://getwacup.com/community/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=883.0;attach=1863 that  you see the plug-in  in winamp preference. ctrp^p to access to preference.
8 active the plugin in Wacup with the check-box as the print screen.
9 enjoy

Hello there! I know it's been five years since I last posted about this. I should have posted my solution right away, after I finally had resolved the issue, but since I did not get Last.fm to work with WACUP, I tried, tested and failed countless times, untill I got Last.fm -legacy scrobbler to work with old Winamp. So, I gave up on WACUP (feeling frustrated and slightly put-off for WACUP) and then forgot about it. But I understand that WACUP now fully supports Last.fm scrobbling, or am I mistaken? This means that I can stop using my old Winamp and start finally using WACUP! - I need to test the newest release and see how it works... 

However, just in case if anyone is interested... in my case, I got Last.fm legacy scrobbler to work with old Winamp 5 in following way:

      1) Install Winamp v5.666 (This was the latest version I got this thing working with.)
      
      2) Install Last.fm legacy scrobbler v2.1.37
      
      3) Confirm that Winamp plugins folder has both in_mp3.dll (should be v4.103.0.0 - if not, search and download installer for in_mp3__4_103__winamp5666_3512),
         and either ml_wa2_scrobbler.dll or gen_wa2_scrobbler.dll in it, either one should work.

      4) (Search, locate and download required SSL libraries) and copy DLL -files libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll,
         in Windows 10, into C:\Program Files (x86)\Last.fm\plugins

This has been now working without problems for the past 5 years! Thanks for everyone concerned!

Hi 5 years
It's so long
But i'm still here too
I'm listening music with Wacup now. I don't use anymore winamp. I still have it on my PC in case of. wma is not well handle by Wacup. Now you can listen WMA. but it the only thing.
I don't use the Wacup plugin because I use the last.fm scrobbler 2.1.37. I think is the legacy.
See my prints screen.

It's been a native feature for over a year as of this reply & in the time between your posts I'd added a helper mode for getting the appropriate 3rd party plug-in into the wacup install though that was removed when I implemented my own code since the legacy plug-in / scrobbler client doesn't work with the 64-bit builds of WACUP hence needing to implement it natively even if many still keep using the old plug-in with the quirks that it brings.

This is very interesting! During this weekend (after sobering up after the midsummer festivities) I'm doing a full build and setup on my brand new state-of-the-art high end gaming PC, and WACUP will be one of the very first apps I want to install. Last.fm scrobbling is for me really important feature, so I hope everything works, as some of the worst idiocies in old Winamp have really started to bug me... Thank you very much once again for this!

I just noticed recently that the old plugin stopped working, so tried the native method. Works very well, but the downside is that it doesn 't reflect on the Last.fm Desktop app. I always had it open when playing to have the nice summary of the artist and song scrobbling. Now it just shows the blank screen as if WACUP wasn 't even open.

WACUP's handling connects directly to their site api & afaict the desktop client was never a documented thing plus I thought that had long since been moved to legacy / unsupported which is why I went the way I did. Though I was under the impression that their desktop client plug-in for winamp still worked in wacup as I've kept seeing it in the crash reports so am possibly wrongly assuming it'd still work (it requires manually copying that plug-in into wacup's plug-in folder since I removed the handling that was in place to try to do that via my prefs when I implemented my mode over a year ago iirc).

I think it only stopped working since the last update to 1.99.34.
It now shows an exclamation mark and the text "This plug-in won't load because it wasn't compiled to be DEP/NX-bit compatible"

I broke plug-in loading, wonderful.

Just installed a new version 1.99.39.22656 (x64) and noticed that in Playback -> Last.fm Scrobbler, you can only authorize a player on Last.fm site when you turn the Windows 11 firewall off. Otherwise, you receive a message on the site stating that WACUP is authorized, but the Status panel continues to show "waiting for the authorization," and scrobbling does not work. After you have successfully authorized the player, you can turn your firewall on again, and the scrobbling works.

I would not mind an update on this, if possible.
