Last Known Working YouTube Music (Application) version

No response

Reproduction steps

Enable the Scrobbler plugin and connect Last.fm account
Start playing any song
Let it play for a few seconds
Pause the song
Resume playback
Let the song finish and the next song begin
Check Last.fm profile

Expected Behavior

Songs should scrobble to Last.fm and appear in the user's Last.fm history regardless of whether they were paused during playback

Actual Behavior

Songs only scrobble if played completely without any pauses
If a song is paused during playback:
- It appears in "Now Playing" while the song plays
- When the next song begins, it disappears from "Now Playing"
- The song never appears in the Last.fm history
- The scrobble is completely lost
Next song appears in "Now Playing" but previous (paused) song is not saved to history

Enabled plugins

Album Color Theme
API Server [Beta]
Discord Rich Presence
In-App Menu
Navigation
Scrobbler
Synced Lyrics

Additional Information

This behavior makes it impossible to properly scrobble songs if you need to pause playback for any reason. The song appears to be tracking correctly in "Now Playing" even after pauses, but the final scrobble is never saved to Last.fm history. This affects all songs regardless of length or how close to completion they were when paused.

The issue can be verified by:

Playing a song without pausing - it scrobbles correctly
Playing the same song with a pause - it fails to scrobble

This demonstrates that the issue is specifically related to the pause functionality rather than general scrobbling problems.
