First two `The Smashing Pumpkins` albums have `Smashing Pumpkins` as the artist.

I try to scrobble the second album and despite the album being set to the right one, it scrobbles some random one I've never seen.
2025-12-03 33712, 2025
Ninmi[m]
Is it possible for me to redirect my listens to `Smashing Pumpkins` instead of having to edit my own tags for an unecessary split in my music player's database?

Is there any log that shows what was rejected during import? If I retry the import using the same file(s) will I end up with duplicates, or is it smart enough to skip any listens that it already knows about? TIA for any help.
2025-12-03 33737, 2025
lucifer[m]
There won't be any duplicates.
2025-12-03 33717, 2025

Perfect thanks, I'll run it again to see what happens and then worry about the missing listens then.

<sarlacc[m]> "Is there any log that shows what..." <- Currently we don't report the reasons for rejection. But from the top of my head, the spotify history contains a lot of entries that should be skipped, typically items played in incognito mode and tracks played for less that 30 seconds (https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-server…)
2025-12-03 33733, 2025
monkey[m]
(Which matches what the spotify API returns when querying a user's history)

Thank you, I'll take a look at that. I never used incognito mode, but definitely skip a lot of songs. I guess I will compare the listenbrainz export with the spotify import and see if they add up.
2025-12-03 33751, 2025
monkey[m]
We are also thinking about way to report rejections, or maybe a separate tool to validate history files that would give you more details.
And with the --preview flag to output detaqils without submitting
2025-12-03 33743, 2025

Perfect, that will save me some time for sure - appreciate your help!

<Ninmi[m]> "First two `The Smashing Pumpkins..." <- Hi Ninmi , You can manually link your listens to a specific recording on MusicBrainz, but currently not to a specific release (album). We automatically match incoming listens to a "canonical" recording, usually the first appearance of that song that we have on file.
2025-12-03 33744, 2025
monkey[m]
I'm not sure I follow your issue completely though, if you can point me to your user page where this mismatch happens I might have more insights

Hi monkey: i simulated network failure while playing track
Back online.. the hook immediately triggered retry
2025-12-03 33756, 2025
monkey[m]
<FaizanAkhtar[m]> "Back online.. the hook immediate..." <- I think to properly test this features, after unsubmitted listens are stored, you'll want to close the page, and have a mechanism that checks for stored unsubmitted listens next time BrainzPlayer tries to submit a listen. Then if the listens are successfully submitted, remove them from storage. Does that sound right to you?
2025-12-03 33731, 2025
FaizanAkhtar[m]
Yes!! Exactly right

The current implementation actually handles this bit more pro actively.. instead of waiting for the next submission attempt, t chrck on component mount

So if the a user saves a listen offline closed the tab and come back later online the pending listens r detect and retired immediately as soon as brainzPlayer loads

Not sure how you can detect a re-connection to trigger retrying submissions, in cases where the user lost connection but kept the tab open.

event listener in hook... This specifically listens for the browser online event so if the user keeps the tab open the moment the connection is restore the browser fires this event and trigger the retry logic immediately..... I verified this flow using network tab... toggle offilne... Online without refreshing and it work as i expected...🙃

I agree, although I'd prefer for recaps to be like late-december, during the holiday period maybe

good job on the new 'caption' thing, I think it's great
Will listen to some `Siamese Dream` (which ListenBrainz links to something called `Retrospective` instead), but I don't know when you'll see this next. Thanks for the input.

Disarm is going to the third album, which is even wilder.
Yeah, I don't really know what's happening there, but then again I'm very new to this anyway. I think I managed to link it now. It's actually pointing to the remaster release now, but that's fine, they're pretty much indistinguishable.
I guess last.fm had less problems 'cause last.fm was all over the place.
