Audioscrobbler (last.fm) support for MediaPortal! (1 Viewer)

[patricon]

Hi RTV! I'm trying to develop a new skin for MP (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/lead_electric_monochrome_mod-t31956.html) and i've noticed that your plugin does not provide these variables: #Play.Current.Artist, #Play.Current.Title, #Play.Current.Album, etc... it's a bug? i'm doing something wrong? When trying to use these values, they are empty all the times...

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Thanks in advance and best regards,

GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#Play.Current.Artist", CurrentSongTag.Artist);
GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#Play.Current.Album", CurrentSongTag.Album);
GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#Play.Current.Title", CurrentSongTag.Title);
GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#Play.Current.Genre", CurrentSongTag.Genre);
GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#Play.Current.Thumb", CurrentSongTag.Comment);
GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#trackduration", Util.Utils.SecondsToHMSString(CurrentSongTag.Duration));

Those are set on each track change - just have a look at the original skin files and you'll see how they are used.

I've finally found the problem! It was that i was using PureAudio plugin, i've disabled it and now it works fine... Can u solve this? or it's a problem/bug into the PureAudio code?

regards,

Another problem.
Everything went OK until scrobbling suddenly stopped in MP.

But at the same time:
Winamp - scrobbling OK,
WMP - OK.

If I open plugin through Configuration panel, I can browse any kind of Live data, including songs recently scrobbled from Winamp and WMP.


Here's the log:

This is only the "now playing" announcement which has failed. Unfortunately last.fm's servers aren't reachable from time to time. MP then sets the "Disconnected" property and will locally cache the scrobbled tracks.
Now you'd have to wait until the next "forced" handshake which is time based or until MP is restarted.

I'll see if I maybe change the code to silently ignore failing now playing announcements and keep on trying to submit the tracks.

Thanks!

But actually I'm waiting from Sunday morning.
Although winamp and WMP don't suffer the problem

Did you restore / overwrite your musicdatebase? Could you please activate debug logging and post your mediaportal.log to http://pastebin.team-mediaportal.com ?

I didn't succeed in posting my logs at http://pastebin.team-mediaportal.com

So here're the logs.
First before updating DB, second - after it

What's wrong with pastebin?

At this point MP cannot connect to the submission server of audioscrobbler.com:

2007-12-05 22:34:16.484375 [Info.][11]: AudioscrobblerBase.GetResponse: HttpWebRequest.GetResponse: Unable to connect to the remote server

If your internet connection is working, your firewall is setup correctly, etc then please check this site for the current server status.

If everything else works okay, try changing your password on www.last.fm and update MP's plugin accordingly.

Yes-yes, I saw it.
Everything is OK with connection.
Winamp and WMP are working properly with Last.fm, uploading information.
More than this I can get information through your plugin in the Configuration console.
Of course, I'll check it again at night
