Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-06-28 14:15:07 UTC 
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/118454

"Binary package hint: rhythmbox

rhythmbox version 0.10.0
Using last.fm (audioscrobbler) plugin, rhythmbox-client doesn't show correct information about artist or song.

steps to reproduce:
enable last.fm plugin with right last.fm account :)
add a last.fm radio: e.g. artist similar to dream theater
play created radio

then exec rhythmbox-client --print-playing
results:
 - Dream Theater’s Similar Artists

using rhythmbox-client --print-playing-format %aa or %at or %ta shows nothing
using rhythmbox-client --print-playing-format %tt shows Dream Theater’s Similar Artists

plugin sends right artist/song information to last.fm service.

This will be fixed when we switch to last.fm's new streaming system.

the same problem or similar one, with online radios, rhythmbox-client --print-playing show's nothing about the current track or information sent by the radio station, only show the radio name taked from the radio list.
