SqueezeScrobbler is available on the Controller - not sure why you keep saying
it's not?
The difference between the two is that SqueezeScrobbler shows up in 'Internet

I don't think that's the problem - I have SlimScrobbler, iTunesUpdate &

OSX (and some forms of Linux) are a special case because you can install
a plugin in two different places, that appear identical to the server.

It probably means you have two copies of SlimScrobbler within the

now comes with a copy of Stopwatch, as that was written for Scrobbler by

You know you can configure Audioscrobbler to have different LastFM

Probably not quite what you want as I'd imagine you don't exclusively

I would suggest that you enable the d_itunes debugging option from
Server Settings->debugging and then start a full scan (wipe library
option).

This is most likely because SlimServer is rescanning the iTunes library.

Matt,
Please check your iTunes rescan interval, under Server Settings->iTunes.
You're probably rescanning the iTunes library every time a track plays.
So set it to a much higher number, or use 0 to disable it and schedule a
rescan with the rescan plugin.
I do mention this in the plugin readme file
