Bug Description

This is a problem is known to be caused by a Google DOM update of the player. Also see Daniel Slaugther's scrobbler page. (http://www.danielslaughter.com/projects/google-music-with-lastfm/)

In the last version of his script he included a fix:
"March 9, 2013

Fixed a bug which was preventing scrobbling. Google updated the DOM of the player, causing Last.fm to not accept scrobbles as the album artist was incorrect. Scrobbles should work again now."

I am using the latest version of Nuvola Player, 2.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
-Select Google Play Music service
-Enter login details
-Go to service -> preferences -> extensions -> last fm scrobbling -> preferences
-Authorize yourself on last fm
-Start listening to some music
-Note that no scrobbles appear on last fm

affects: nuvola-player → ubuntu

I just installed that package and scrobbling works again! :)

I was not aware that services could be installed (or updated) manually.
