soder Wrote:Are you having problem with your scrobble?

I'm on "nightly" pre eden on Ubuntu, and using this Add-on.

SOMETIMES when I start XBMC, I get a "warning" about something "failed to connect to remote server".

I think this has to do this this Add-on, since when I've had that message, I think that the scrobble doesn't work. I then restart my XBMC until I don't get that message.

soder Wrote:Also (another problem I think), I had problem with my MOVIES being scrobbled but not marked as watched. A problem I didn't have for my episodes, and the only difference in settings was that I had the option to Rate the movie after it was seed, and I didn't had that option ON for episodes.

I removed that option for movies to, and now I have "almost" no problems. =)

Try it..

It shouldn't have anything to do with pausing (unless xbmc counts paused time towards total playback time, which TU doesn't). Playing an item in pieces where you actually stop it in between would likely cause this, that is because TU currently only takes into account the time you spent watching it in the current session, there is an issue already logged to deal with this.

othrayte Wrote:That message (which might be from TU) generally indicates a lack of internet connectivity, even if it is momentary. In the current version of TU if it can't connect at the start it effectively gives up and all notification based services will be unavailable until xbmc is restarted, I'm planning to implement this differently in new versions to avoid this issue. Notification based services include scrobbling, instant syncs and rating dialogs.

Quote:Um, so you were having trouble scrobbling when rating was enabled, this have been a bug if it occurred before 0.6.4, I would suggest trying again, it might be fixed now. Again the next version will hopefully allow the rating and scrobbling code to be cleaner and less prone to any issue like this.

soder Wrote:Well, it sometimes happens I watch 20 min of 60 min, then 20 min later, and then another 20 min.

soder Wrote:But the episode isn't marked as watched i XBMC until there about only 5 min left, and I almost never stop after that, since if the episode is marked as seen in XBMC, it's getting hidden in my Library, and XBMC drops the info about where I was.

soder Wrote:Also, what do you mean with "TU currently only takes into account the time you spent watching it in the current session"?

If I watch 50% of 60 min, and I have set that the add-on is gonna mark as seed after 85%, what does that mean then?

soder Wrote:I've been on 0.6.4 for some time now, and this problem was on that version as well I think. The movie was scrobbled, but not marked as watched on Trakt.tv. After the movie was done, there was no tracks on trakt.tv of me have watched that movie.

othrayte Wrote:Do you pause or stop the item in between these.

Quote:What info is being dropped, why are you choosing to not watch the last 5 min.

Quote:If you watch the first 20min of a 60min item, then stop (not pause) the item then when you come back and watch the next 20 min TU doesn't remember that you had already watched the first 20min and so it says you have only watched 1/3 of the item.

Quote:For your case if you have it set to 85% that means you have to watch the item for at least 85% of the time without stopping (pausing is fine), so if you only watch 50% then TU will say you haven't watched enough.

othrayte Wrote:You mentioned in the other stream of posts that you don't let xbmc think you have something watched, this is probably your problem, when TU syncs it will syncronise the playcount and if xbmcs playcount is zero it will make that the same on trakt.tv, removing any record that you played the item.

The next version will be much smarter in this sense and will know which one is more correct.

soder Wrote:I guess I do both. If I just pause, I can see on trakt.tv that I do stop scrobble. I don't know about marked as watched on trakt.tv by doing this.

When I stop, it's normally by 1/3 or 1/2 or 2/3 or something like that.

I mean, that IF i watch 1h55min of an 2h movie and STOP it, XBMC DO mark it as watched, it's being hidden in the library, AND since it's being marked as watched, it "drops" info about me being at 1h55min, as a result of being marked as watched. THAT'S why I don't stop that close to the end, but only at 50-60% or something like that.. =)

soder Wrote:Aha, THAT'S a problem, and probably the cause of my problem with some being marked as scrobbled and some only marked as seen.

Yeah, and THAT'S fine for me, but IF i stop at 50% and then later watch another 35%, I would like this add-on to report it as 85% and send it as scrobbled by XBMC to trakt.tv, and not as just 50% when I've seen the second 50%, and then send it as "marked as seen" when XBMC marked it as seen.

soder Wrote:Is it possible to turn of the "marked as seen" function, and only let the add-on scrobble?

soder Wrote:Also, sometimes I have episodes, in my timeline, that shows up twice. One as "marked as seen" and one as "scrobbled by XBMC". Is this an result of the way this add-on doesn't continue from the % where it was stopped, and the way XBMC marks as seen in the Library?

soder Wrote:Sorry, I don't understand what you mean with "you don't let xbmc think you have something watched". I let XBMC mark my episodes and movies being watched after 95% or somehing like that.

soder Wrote:About THIS problem. I just spoke with my fried who also had the same problem as me. It WASN'T that the movie wasn't being marked as watched on Trakt.tv. The problem was that it was marked as watched in the year 1911 or something like that, making it not show up in the feed correctly. =/

othrayte Wrote:Yeah we plan to fix this, and it is on the list, it is just waiting on some other things that are ahead of it.

Quote:Yes it is, disabling "auto sync seen X at startup" should do that.

Quote:I have been curious lately about this, but I don't think that can cause it. It is probably more to do with a difference in the timestamps for scrobbling and xbmcs last watched, so unless you had the percent complete for TU set really low (such that is scrobbled the first time you stopped it but not the second) then it is unrelated.

othrayte Wrote:Yeah, I had just misunderstood, sorry.


This is let propagate simply because neither TU nor trakt.tv check that the date makes sense and all dates are referenced in seconds since 1970, if dates are just after 1970 then I can see where the issue might be from, but if it is truly 1911 then it will need more investigation. But again this is one of the things that will get affected by the upcoming major changes.

soder Wrote:But will this also disable it WHEN I actually manually mark it as watched?

soder Wrote:But what if I've have the add-on set to 85%, and I stop at 86%? Then trakt.tv have marked my episode as "scrobbled by XBMC". Then when I start again, the addon thinks I'm at 0%, but XBMC still knows I'm at 86%. After the last 14% the episode is finished, and XBMC mark it is as seen, and the add-on get that info and sends it again, this time as "manually marked as seen"?

Couldn't that be cause of my problem with some episodes twice in my feed?
