Hi, I just installed the Android ListenBainz app on my Google Pixel 10 phone (Android 16) and It doesn't seem to scrobble... In fact it scrobbled twice the first track and then track 6 and then no more (playing an album on Youtube Music). Yes I gave autorisations to the apps... Any ideas what could be the issue ?

Lotheric[m]: Can you update the app from our github releases?
2025-09-29 27232, 2025
jasje[m]
jasje[m]: Yours is outdated
2025-09-29 27202, 2025
Lotheric[m]
jasje[m]: ok, I got it from the Google Play store

<Lotheric[m]> "ok, I got it from the Google..." <- Ok, I updated the app (had to use an USB cable and adb.exe, I have a phone split between work apps and personal apps...)

Lotheric[m]: trying again to see if it works

Lotheric[m]: The setup wizard is nicer on the latest version

Lotheric[m]: so far so good

<Lotheric[m]> "so far so good" <- It's working well now (even if my phone is set to do not disturb, it still catches the artist/title infos from the "now playing"

<Lotheric[m]> "thanks" <- Our app is available on F-droid as well, but getting it from the source is just better if you know MetaBrainz. Now-onwards, any app update can be installed from the app itself (app uses github releases) by going to settings and checking for updates.

jasje[m]: This bit of friction of moving the user to updatable app is still in progress

jasje[m]: Expecting user to use adb is not what we want (experience needs to be smooth)

jasje[m]
jasje[m]: But thanks for going that length

Do you know of any browser for Android, other than Brave, that can play music from LB with the screen shutdown? I tried Vivaldi, but works for YT and not LB 🤔
2025-09-29 27237, 2025
frayoshi[m]
because I wish LB could scrobble via the fact that you plat the track, but we need a scrobler app (I think) and I bind the app to a specific browser to not scrobble also random youtube videos 🙂

* random youtube (and others) videos 🙂

oh... seems like with desktop mode, works with Vivaldi 🙂

Don't expect Firefox Focus to work tho

Just found out that in desktop mode the pause doesn't happen 😉

Fair enough. Although LB in desktop mode is getting desasperate
