Should be fixed in 2.4.2

I just tested the new .NET version, and this still happens. Was it fixed only for Sabiiro/Electron?

@n-1-c-k-y can you test on the latest experimental Linux build please

[n-1-c-k-y]

I just tested it and it's still doing the same thing.

@n-1-c-k-y I have just pushed another build to Taproom. Give that a try, but be aware that Taproom has been caching builds, so make sure you clear your cache and make sure the checksum or file creation date does not match your current build.

[n-1-c-k-y]

I think it is now completely broken

[coredev-uk]

Yeah I did break lastfm, a build was just pushed that should fix it. In my testing this issue is no longer present

[n-1-c-k-y]

Great, thank you for fixing it.

[coredev-uk]

So I take it that this issue is resolved for you then? @n-1-c-k-y

[n-1-c-k-y]

My bad, I thought it didn't happen anymore in your tests; I just tested it and it's still doing the same thing.

[coredev-uk]

What build did you use, because it is physically impossible for it to happen in the latest. Please remove the update.zip in your appdata and use the latest experimental genten build

I'm using the latest experimental appimage.

With remove featured artists disabled:

I already tried deleting the sh.cider.genten folder entirely, and it didn't work.

I was getting an older build; I downloaded and extracted the rpm, and I got a more recent build, yet the issue persists.

Okay, I finally see what you mean. It seems the mutations we were making to the event object were being carried to the main musickit nowplayingitem, which is incredibly stupid. I have made a fix that clones it. Sorry about the confusion

[n-1-c-k-y]

It looks like it's broken again and not removing the featured artists in the scrobbles now.

[coredev-uk]

Ill add the check in, didnt think isCloudItem would not be present

[coredev-uk]

The build is currently uploading to Taproom, should fix this @n-1-c-k-y

[n-1-c-k-y]

Maybe I got an older build, but it's still not fixed 💀

[coredev-uk]

Can you dump your client info please

This?

[coredev-uk]

Yeah, thanks. It seems the object cloning didnt do anything, Im working on restructuring the function so it should work, i'll let you know when the builds are up.

[n-1-c-k-y]

No problem, happy to help.

[coredev-uk]

Ok, I've just committed it, give it about 5-10 minutes to build, check the build time on taproom.

[n-1-c-k-y]

Yeah, it's fixed now, thanks!
