Not scrobbling to last.fm with android remote control (RC)

My subsonic 4.7 server works perfectly in all respects but one: when using the Android app as a remote control, last.fm does not register what has been played. I can still see all songs from <user>@android-jukebox under Now Playing in the web interface, and have no problems scrobbling what is played @android, @Web player or @<jukebox>.

Please let me know if this does/not work for anyone else and what I might do to fix it.

As it stands, my OCD dictates replaying the songs with volume off afterwards through another player.. which is a bother

Bumping this since I haven gotten nowhere closer to a solution the last month, and have updated to the latest android client with no change. Am I really the only one on these forums that both use last.fm and my android phone as a remote?

Probably...

You have probably found a bug in the handling of Last.FM scrobbling.

I just did a quick test and can verify that it will never send scrobbles as it is currently. When using it as a RC the code never executes the function which calls the scrobbling.

Thank you daneren2005. Where should I go to file a bug report on this issue?

It's been like this for at least a year, when (I believe) the RC feature was introduced to the Android client app. Still hoping for an update that fixes this issue.

FYI: This issue is not present when using the madsonic android app (with madsonic server).
