This isn't a Banshee bug actually. last.fm is notorious for returning bad XML or invalid content inside well formed XML. For instance: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/artist/My%20Hero%20Is%20Me/similar.xml Note the image_small node, and its data: http:///storable/image/136501/small.jpg That would be the invalid hostname the error is complaining about. I've added a hack to "inject" the hostname (which at this time appears to be static3.last.fm), but it's dirty and last.fm really just needs to fix their web services. "Fixed" for now - let's just hope last.fm fixes the real problem on their end.
Just saw this in the code. Is fixed by Last.FM, at least I don't see it anymore in there requests.
