I consistently get the 500 Errors when importing from last.fm. I have quite a few scrobbles on last.fm since it’s tracking almost 20 years of extensive listening. I honestly wouldn’t mind telling it to retry the import and just keep retrying each time it fails but it does not seem to go anywhere. After the import errors, I retry and it will go over the same pages it had previously imported and usually error around the same location (2-3 pages in). I recognize that it isn’t duplicating listens but it seems like any efforts to try and import are fruitless as the total progress is always limited to those first few pages. Is there a way to manually change the import timestamp? I would be completely fine just importing the last 5 years of listening data to just reduce the load that it has to work through.
At first glance it looks to be a last.fm issue that we’re not doing a good job of showing to the users. Weekends tend to be really busy days for music service – perhaps try again tomorrow? In the meantime we’ll work to improve the error.
I’ve been checking this out again and it seems like the connection to last.fm is much more robust. I still have some issues with my data (haven’t touched settings since I opened this ticket originally) namely it seems there was some duplication of listens in the early-mid 2020s. I was wondering if the recommended fix would be to delete my data and re-import or if there is a more elegant solution? Don’t mind either way, just don’t want to unnecessarily hammer the servers/last.fm api for a big account like mine.
