Submit Errors

I am running plex-lastfm-scrobbler on my Synology DS1515+ with DSM 5.2, was working pretty fine until some days ago, PMS 0.9.12.4, when I saw this problem:

I cancelled cache and logs, restarted but still having:

Any tip?

This can often be related to something on the server side (i.e. connectivity issue, etc).

Do you see this error frequently or was this a one off?

After update of my DS1515+ with DSM 5.2-5592-update 2 I started to see that error.
It seems that randomly it triggers that connection issue.

Previously it worked flawlessly. I don't have any connection issues and I also checked my firewall (pfSense) for any block. Everything is ok in my network.

For testing I started to use LastFM support of Plex.tv (yes, they just started to offer that!) and it did not miss a scrobble.

closing this out. Sounds like Plex offers a stable solution now as well
