last.fm doesn't store failed submissions

[themstpt]

if there is a problem in the submission of played songs. it doesn't store that song and tries to submit later like the official last.fm client

I wrote a patch that adds support for this. Odds are it's a little bit buggy, as last.fm is pretty particular about how things get submitted. Test it out and let me know if it works. Right now it adds the cache file in the ~/.exaile directory, Adam/Johannes, feel free to move or rename it however you think is appropriate. Improvements are welcomed as well (it was my first experience with xml, so I sort of winged most of the parsing stuff).

I also included a fix for another bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/exaile/+bug/136000) with the patch, since it was applicable.

There was already a connection refused error..and the submission happened (it's a improvement because before the track wasn't submitted)

Here's a patch to hopefully fix a crashing bug if there is no SCROBBLER_SESSION.

This bug is happening again in 2.11 :(

[Dan O'Reilly (oreilldf)]

That's because this patch isn't in 2.11. It probably won't be in a mainline release until 2.12 (or whatever the next version is).
