No response

Reproduction steps

  1. Enable Scrobbler plugin, enable Last.fm, enter API data.
  2. Log in to Last.fm
  3. Change Last.fm password or somehow else revoke that authorized session (?) I don't know exactly how my session key became invalid, but I remember that I changed Last.fm password.

Expected Behavior

Application will ask to log in to Last.fm again

Actual Behavior

Application tries to scrobble, but doesn't do anything with session key error. I didn't even know, why it didn't scrobble, before opening Charles.

Additional Information

The only way that I found to fix this is to go to app's data folder, open config.txt and delete line plugins.scrobbler.scrobblers.lastfm.sessionKey. After restart, it will ask to reauthenticate and scrobbler will work fine.
