I have now disabled the official plugin (by unchecking the checkbox on the plugin page) and restarted the server but there are still no "similar artist" stations for the last 10 tracks played in the player menu. In the web gui of Squeezecenter there are the last played tracks listed. It seems tha

actually, squeezescrobbler stops 'scrobbling' when it detects the official plugin is enabled and configured. If the official plugin is disabled, squeezescrobbler will automatically start scrobbling again. I will check out the similar artists though, I hadn't intended this to stop working in this

I had pretty much given up on Last.FM on SlimServer 6.5.4 It just didn't work at all anymore. If you wanted to listen to, say, "similar artists to Miles Davis" you'd eventually get artists like Metallica. If you wanted to listen to "similar artists to Frank Sinatra" you'd eventually get Metalli

Unfortunately LastFM changed the way that the streaming service worked and abandoned the original system. It just about works as you can see but is no longer fully functional. Try SqueezeCentre 7, the LastFM plugin is fully functional again there. SlimDevices are supposed to be working on a fully
