[AUDIO] lastfm script (bookmarks, auto-login, etc.)

[meowmoo]

don't work anymore

same with the msp Plugin, did last.fm change something?

[ricocarlos]

Mine quit working the last day or two. Is there something up with Last.FM? Other machines on my network can use Last.FM, but not the PCH or another computer running SwissCenter for Last.FM on the PCH.

The script indeed stopped working (also for me). The problem is rather with the method (i.e., the script), not the computer -- I tried running the script on my laptop: the handshake is successful and I get the stream url, but then attempting to play the stream stops with "connection refused".

Which players work for you?

[ricocarlos]

Well, it will run on every computer on my network...except the one that I have SwissCenter running on...which accesses Last.Fm. BTW, if I go to the site on that computer, it will error out when buffering.

[mk11]

It seems that SwissCenter has the same problem -- somebody posted a message on their forum. For me only the flash player on the last.fm web site works -- any other player I tried on linux fails. So this might be a more general problem.

I've found a solution, but porting it to NMT might take a while. As I don't have much time now, if anyone wants to experiment a bit, here is a hint: take the source code of shell-fm (which apparently works), and have a look at the files "service.c" and "playlist.c". I'm afraid, however, that implementing the protocol from those files won't be possible with a simple shell script (like the one I posted).

AAAAH noo... Can anyone confirm that this CGI script not working anymore. I have tried to install it but it gives me the 'request cannot be processed' page.

I would really like if this script is working again, for me the MSP plugin is to much work to start a station or watsoever, therefore i hope this can be fixed somehow...

Kind regards.

As mk11 said, It don't works.

Just be patient. mk11 said he don't have much time now, so wait until he can fix the problem.

Also the MSP plugin and SwissCenter don't work.

Banshee player works for me (http://banshee-project.org/). As far as i know this player can not be compiled to work with NMT.

The new version of the script is ready (see the first post). It should now work. If not for this bug http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=17025 the script would be much simpler, faster, and ready many days ago.

Thank you for your great job. I will try and provide some feedback.

Works fine. I will try to edit the code because i need to do it easy to use for my parents, and translate to Spanish.

If you manage to improve the script, please share the updated code on the forum, so that others (including me) can benefit from that.

Also, if you want to translate the script to Spanish, it would be nice if you first extracted the English messages into some variables in the config file -- this would make further translations a lot easier.

hi, me again,

i cant get the new script to work :/

when i start the lastfm-bookmarks.html the PCH load some time an then i see the text from the cgi script an my TV...

I've had the same problem, the solution is to change url in last-fmbookmarks.html to full path: http://localhost.drives:8883/HARD_DISK/l...?bookmarks .
I'm not sure what's the reason here...

[meowmoo]

thanks now i'm happy again !

Sure i will upload if i succeed. I really don't know if i have enough skills to do the same changes i did to first script, because the first script was easier than the second one.

I will try but i really don't know how to use variables. Usually i just edited the html and cgi files translating English to Spanish.
