I came back to ListenBrainz (and MusicBrainz) about 2 weeks ago, but my “Curated for you” playlists are still stuck in September, despite importing all my listens again from Lastfm.
Weekly Jams are displayed as “Updated 25 Sept 2023, 02:04 | Deleted in 6 months ago”, which doesn’t seem right. Link to the playlist: ListenBrainz
The Stats page updated correctly, so this seems to only affect the generation of “Curated for you” playlists: Weekly Jams, Weekly Exploration and the last week ones.
How can I make them update again?
If you use Spotify, try disconnecting the service and reconnecting it. Sometimes spotify logs people out for whatever reason… When that happens we send you mail, but that may have ended up in spam.
Thank you for the suggestion, but I don’t use the Spotify integration; I’ve been periodically importing my listens/scrobbles from Lastfm, for now.
They are importing correctly, my stats seem to be generating correctly. The only issue is with the algo playlists of recommendations that ListenBrainz generates. They stopped updating in September.
Still, I tried logging in with my Spotify account and disabling the integration again to see if it had any effect. Not seeing any changes so far.
The odd thing is that while the playlists are stale, the “raw recommendations” page got on the other hand updated on March 30.
I’m in a vaguely similar situation - playlists didn’t get generated on Monday this week, and playlists a bit over two weeks old were marked as “Deleted in 2 days ago”. However, this morning, the situation unstuck itself - although instead of the usual “Weekly Jams for Xxx, week of 2024-04-01 Mon”, it’s titled after today - “2024-04-03 Wed” (first time I ever see a playlist not labeled as generated on a Monday). A bit odd, but eh.
Same thing happened to me too, my daily jams update regularly while weekly explorations and jams got stuck two weeks ago. I was hoping it will sort itself out when all playlists expire, but nothing happened so far, it just says “Deleted in 1 week ago/17 hours ago”.
I reconnected my spotify during this 2 weeks at least once and just did it again, hopefully it works.
Upd.: it did refresh eventually, so unless something else was done, reconnecting Spotify works?
Hi! My “created for you” playlists also are stuck since 1st of July. I don’t use a Spotify connection, only a webhook to report listens from Plex. I tried to reset this service and renewed the token on listenbrainz but this Monday there was still no refresh.
My listens are counted correctly though…
My recommendations have not updated for 3 weeks, with the most recent week being Nov 6th (which that one was 2 days late). Although I don’t take the recommendations that seriously since there isn’t any similar users on LB to me, I still enjoy looking at them. I can see that 2 people I’ve brought to LB last month have been getting recommendations every week.
And that was last updated today, so the back-end process that generates recommended recordings exists. Anyone who has stuck recommendations can take a look at this API endpoint (obvs change the user name in the URL) and then see last_updated timestamp. (use this to turn that into a human readable date: https://www.epochconverter.com/ )
This suggests that the task for generating playlists from the recommended recordings is borked. Let me look at that process next.
The process that creates the playlists has no reference to user “14Super60pa”, so it never bothered to attempt to create a playlist. The plot thickens.
Thanks for looking into this. I have my timezone set as America/New_York. I just followed the LB user.
Edit: Also not sure if it’s related, but when looking at Missing data, the page says it was last updated on the 6th (the same date as my most recent recommendation playlist). I know since I’ve been listening to Pandora recently, that I should have some unknown listens under the Missing Data page.
