Audioscrobbler (last.fm) support for MediaPortal! (2 Viewers)

[rtv]

But, are you aware that scrobbling locks up gui for as long as ten seconds?

What? This should be fixed with Rev9787 - last.fm plugin: added threading, fixed razor skin
You can look at the taskmanager to see the thread starting and terminating.

Of course MP's playlist is veeery slow - you might realize a lag _after_ scrobbling when the playlist refreshes itself for the new songs.

And that the screen does not refresh after scrobbeling.

I got this, too - there is even a comment about this bug in the code but I didn't find an adhoc solution for it - but it is just a refresh problem - at least when the list reaches the "invisible" song it will refresh 100% and it will not interrupt playback :wink:

You are right of course rtv :roll:

It's all better with newest svn. (well its working really good actually)

All i miss now is an option to adjust the percentage from within MP, and that "My playlists" appears in all screens, not only in shares-view. Its a bit counter-intuitive that you can save a playlit in the "playlist"-screen, but you can't open any??

Maybe the "My playlist"-button should be removed from shares-view, and added to playlist-view?

 

[Lyxalig]

BTW. Party-playlist feature should maybe be removed?

Would be nice to hear a statement of its original author since the playlist code contains much "party mode" specific stuff..

Hi, rtv I've had a a look in the sources

        List<Song> songs = new List<Song>();
        dbs.GetAllSongs(ref songs);

        for (i = 0; i < songs.Count; i++)
        {
          song = songs[i];
          AddRandomSongToPlaylist(ref song);
        }

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK it looks like a random selection of songs to me. Maybe change the text to: "Random tracks" ?

glad it's not my fault :shock:

 

[Lyxalig]

Found the aformentioned bug!!

Steps to duplicate:
1. Start mediaportal
2. Go to my music. Choose one song by pressing "y" or playbutton on mce-remote.
== MP crashes after approx. 10 seconds...(The delay for scrobbling)

How to avoid the bug:
1. Start Mediaportal
2. Go to my music. Choose one song by pressing "y" or playbutton on mce-remote.
3. Click Your way to the playlist BEFORE 10 seconds has passed.
== NO CRASH...???

crashes @ my setup

 

[Lyxalig]

When does it crash? I've tried it 20 times now, and it does not crash if i go to the playlist.. :?

 

[rtv]

Good you mention it - I've set the option to automatically switch to playlist window...

Will look at this now.

AddRandomSongToPlaylist

This is a "recycled" function of the party mode - it adds ONE song to the playlist while making sure there is no double entry.

Maybe I'll refactor the music part a little after I added some more methods for track and tag decisions..
