General Discussion / Re: How to install the Last.fm scrobbler plug-in?

« Last post by King Mustard on February 11, 2026, 10:10:45 AM »

Is the information for the file showing the correct length in the local library & alt+3 file information dialog?

I know of an issue with getting the length for files in un-mapped network shares but am not aware of that not working for anything else (local file or via mapped to a drive letter network share). Alternatively there's an option on the native scrobbler prefs page to mostly ignore the length but that's not ideal.

I have attached a screenshot of ALT+3.

I'd need to see a copy of the library.dat/library.idx files from the wacup settings folder (preferences -> advanced -> diagnostics -> settings locations will indicate the folder for your setup).

General Discussion / Repeated Artist Names

« Last post by SpineOfGlass on February 10, 2026, 08:13:25 AM »

Hey there

I'm encountering an odd glitch where one of my artist's name is repeated a bunch, separating random songs out into different artist tabs, which is a pain in the ass. Any ideas on what could be causing it?

Thanks

I have tried scrobbling my first song (a standard 5:07 MP3) but Preferences is saying, "Playing item is too short to be scrobbled."

Any idea why WACUP would think it is too short?

Preview Build Discussion / Problem with ATF (Advanced Title Formatting)

« Last post by winamped on February 09, 2026, 02:26:08 AM »

Hi, all. Thanks for the great work on this, DrO et al.

There seems to be a bug in the latest Jan 12 Preview Build with regards to the titles displayed on the Playlist Editor. I don't know if it's because I improperly formatted it. This is what I have.

Code: [Select]

[%album% - ][%track% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))
And it seems to work, but then, a few hours later, I get a bunch of Syntax errors showing in my Playlist Editor,

Code: [Select]

[SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING (8)](see attachment)
and when I go into preferences, I see that the ATF string has been cut down for some inexplicable reason. i.e., instead of the above, it will just show "[%album% - " for the string.

Thanks, hope someone can help.

Yes, you're right about being late reporting it.
You know I don't use that feature much, but last week I had to play music to an event and I finally couldn't use WACUP for this.
Is there a way that I can launch the 2nd instant manually before the new update?

Thanks for your effort!
Much appreciated!

If it's been broken for months why only report it now? I can see that there's something not behaving during the new process spawning which'll need to be looked into so hopefully I'll have it resolved as part of the next build due out later this month.

Hello again.
The last months I can't open the second instance when pressing CTRL+ALT+N.
It does nothing.
Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance!

It is appearing within WACUP (Preferences > Plug-ins > General Purpose) but clicking on it then the 'Configure' button is not allowing me to configure it (no dialogue appear) - which I presume I would need to be able to log in to the service.

The config button being available to click just means the plug-in has reported there's a config method but there's nothing to indicate that it's not a dummy one (i.e. wouldn't do anything). iirc the last.fm provided plug-in didn't have a working config as it relied on their desktop client to handle it. The even older standalone last.fm plug-in did have a working config but iirc that won't show / crashes on modern versions of Windows since it was built in a manner that conflicts with security changes that have been applied to the OS since that time.
