Mirek Adámek (ID: 00000041e374a39a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/30/2024 If I skip a part of the song, the scrobble pauses and I have to pause it and turn it back on. I would like it if there was an option to turn off the Web Scrobbler text under the video title on YouTube.

michael chalk (ID: 00000058a98647fa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/28/2024 Thanks for all your hard work on this scrobbler.. great to have one that works; also really appreciate that you keep it updated. (Edit: 7 years later, i'm still giving this one 5 stars. i tried a few options on my way here. Super impressed that you keep on fixing when things glitch, much appreciated 😺) mc

Deitrich Armante Lowrance (ID: 000000a4feec35a9) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 05/18/2024 My previous issue with this app was that it didn't allow selective scrobbling to account for music on Youtube that gets missed. The devs solution to this is basically a button that turns on "scrobble everything" mode, which can only be turned off if you close the tab. Not exactly ideal. On the other hand, some of attempts at reading metadata are baffling (ie: ignoring dashes or including (official music video) in the title.) This wouldn't be a big deal if not for the autolocking when the song is scrobbled, not giving one a chance whatsoever at correcting the incorrect title. This is compounded by the lagging the extension seems to experience and the fact that pausing the video seems to cause the currently scrobbled song to disappear.
