Album played counts is counting with double speed.

[kdid]

On my Subsonic the album number of played songs is counting two per played song. Do others see the same?

So if I play an album with 9 tracks once, then the counter increases with 18 instead of 9.

Is it a bug in Subsonic, or is there something that can provoke this to happen that i can turn off?

Hi kdid

I have never experienced this myself. Are you using the web-player or an external player? Does it happen on both?

When you play a song, do you see multiple instances of the log-message "INFO PlaylistInputStream Opening new song ...."?

Hmmm. Looking at this now I see that the double counting only happens when songs is transcoded. In the log below I changed the limit from 112 to 160 midway and the double logging did not happen anymore.

The problem is that most of my music is in flac, so all those is double counted.

[kermit22]

good call on the transcoding/scrobbler issue. I was getting frustrated with the double submission whenever i listened at my work and not anywhere else. After reading your post I went in and checked my work player settings and it was set to max out 128kbps. Since all of my music is V0 quality all of my scrobbles on last.fm were duplicated. When I set it to no limit they went back to being single scrobbled. Thanks for posting your workaround. I hope that Sindre will have time to take a look at this issue.

My problem is that most of my music is in flac, and I only have a 400 kbit/sec line out, so I have to rely on transcoding and enforce a usable low limit of 128kbit/sec to be able to stream at least 3 users at the same time. So for me it is not a solution to allow no limit transfers.

So, yeah, I hope Sindre will have time to do a fix for this bug. - One of my friends also have Subsonic installed and he feels this is a very annoying problem.

Personally I would had liked to see a fix for the cutting of play length of low bitrate songs that is transcoded over a fix for this bug.

[sindre_mehus]

I'll look into the double-scrobbling issue. Thanks.

[kdid]

Just to ensure that we talk about the same.

It is counting double both on LastFM and in the internal database counter.

Thanks for looking into this. Appreciated.

[sindre_mehus]

By the way, if someone can show me a log from when the error occurs that would be great.

[kdid]

My current log:

Strangley the song "Home" was only scrobbled once it looks like in the log. But the other two songs was scrobbled twice.

Looking at the log on Last.fm I find the same is logged there.

But the log indicated that all files was handled twice, so all of them probably was count twice internally.

----

I played the three files again by clicking on the first one in the playlist and let it play again and this time it did scrobble all three songs twice. I do not know why it did skip one the first time.

Looking at the log it looks like the scrobbling isn't happening at the same time every time compared to when the stream is stopped as logged in the log. Sometimes the scrobbling happens before the stream is stopped, Sometimes after.

Here is the log for the first play of the mention files:
