Hi Everyone,
This problem has been traced to an outage at last.fm. Rune uses last.fm API's for various features. When internet is not available Rune works fine, but when these services are available but do not work properly Rune fails. The good news is that the service is up and running again. So, everything seems to be working. I intend to modify the code so that it will be more resilient to possible future outages.
In addition, last.fm is no longer providing album art or artist images. These disappeared a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to be a permanent change, see here:
