Oops! Error Connecting

 
  • Oops! Error Connecting

    I only seem to get this error message when connecting from my office. Does the Last.FM player use specific ports that may be blocked?
  • Hello,
    Possibly some restrictions are applied at your company. Please check with your network administrator.
    Have a look at you flash player too and update if necessary.
    Please avoid using IE6, unfortunately it's not fully supported yet.
  • What's the port I have to open to outside in my router? I got the same problem.. "Ops! Error connecting" at the flash player, since the new layout came out.

    My specs:
    ubuntu 8.04
    firefox 3.0.1
    flash player 9.0.115.0

    I'm seeing this about 80% of attempts - Thus, it's not a problem of network restrictions.

    I use a standard non-IE set-up, all at the latest stable versions:

    - Win XP SP2
    - Firefox 3.0.1
    - Flash Player 9.0.124.0

    This seems like a server-side problem. Is Last.FM gathering statistics for occurrences of this problem? - Ian

    Same problem here

    Ever since the switchover I haven't been able to use the flash player.

    Ubuntu 8.04
    Firefox 3.0.1
    flash player 9.0 r124
  • Hello,
    Please try updating your flash player.
    Please make sure that ff plugins do not affect player.
  • I have the same problem, since one or two weeks I get the error 95% of the time I'm here. Before that it was working constantly (well, it didn't scrobble, but I could listen to something).

    Win Vista
    Opera 9.51
    Flash Player 9.0.124.0


    However, with FF 2.0.0.11 it's working 95% of the time, but also not scrobbling.
  • Hmm, did you reset your password?
    Please try resetting your password again. Most likely it'll fix scrobbling issue.
    Thanks!
  • Why is there a connection between the password and scrobbling from the in-page flash player? However, that can't be the problem, as I didn't change anything. The player was working during the beta testing and after that, but now, since 2 weeks, it's just this error over and over again, with very little exceptions. And I don't want to use FF.

    By the way, is there going to be an option to collapse that player eventually? I can't use it and I'm really sick of seeing this "Oops!".
  • I'm confused. It's working perfectly now, I hope it's going to last a little longer. And it's even scrobbling now. Perfect :)

    EDIT: Okay, I think that were my 5 minutes for the day. It's broken again :D

    Which OS version and browser are you using?
  • getting same problem. Except 100% of the time. It used to work fine its only at the office in the last couple weeks. I'm using internet explorer 7 and I just updated both flash and shockwave.

    Problem with the flash player in firefox - 400 Bad Request

    The flash player *never* work in my Firefox (always get the Oops message) on my WinXP. If I try the same thing in MSIE6 it works! I have no firewall, antivirus or plugins that could interfer.

    When you sniff the traffic you see the difference and why the flash in FF don't work:

    I don't know why the flash player in FF don't send the same header info as the flash in MSIE, but nontheless, lastfm should respond with a correct answer (a new "location") and not a "400 bad request".
