ListenBrainz not recording scrobbles from Roon (live listens work, stats stuck for a week)

Hi all,

I’m having an issue with ListenBrainz scrobbling from Roon, and after some troubleshooting on the Roon forums I was advised to contact ListenBrainz directly.

What’s happening

  • Live listens (“Now Playing”) appear instantly on ListenBrainz.

  • But no listens are being saved to my history, and Your Stats has not updated for over a week.

  • My last recorded scrobbles are from more than a week ago, even though I’ve been listening daily.

What I’ve already checked

  • Restarted the Roon Server software.

  • I run Pi‑hole + Unbound, and I recently updated Pi‑hole, so I checked for DNS blocking.

  • Verified that the following domains are not being blocked, and I whitelisted them anyway:

    • listenbrainz.org

    • api.listenbrainz.org

    • musicbrainz.org

  • No VPN, no browser extensions blocking scripts, and the issue persists across browsers.

Why I think the issue could be on the ListenBrainz side

Since live listens appear correctly, Roon appears to be submitting the data successfully. The problem seems to be that ListenBrainz is not writing the listens into my permanent history or not updating the Stats page, even after the usual delay.

Questions

  1. Is there a known issue with the Stats pipeline or listen ingestion at the moment?

  2. Is there any way to force a refresh of my listening history?

  3. Is there anything else I can check on my side to help diagnose this?

Happy to provide my ListenBrainz username or any logs if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone? I am still listening to music and its showing up in ‘Listens’, but the 15th June is the last time it was added to ‘your stats’.

I see several listens recorded on your profile for yesterday, submitted by Roon. So submission just seems to work fine.

Regarding the statistics, they haven’t updated the recent days. The ListenBrainz status page shows the last update on the stats over 8 days ago, the 15th is also the latest date in my and I think everyone’s stats.

I know that the LB team is currently working on changes to the backend to improve the situation. Generally LB is under high load, and there are some delays currently.
