Has anyone started a MP based last.fm client yet?
I mean the client, not the audioscrobbler process plugin.

    Hi codemonkey

    what should such a plugin do?
    I think the audioscrobbler plugin scrobble the music so if you are within MP there is no need to interact with the last.fm software, or is?

    Correct me if i am false. :wink:

    Chef:

    It scrobbles, yes. But I am talking about a plugin to play music from last.fm like the last.fm client does. Similar to internet radio.

    Ahh you want to listen to the radio streams of your own or of your last.fm group. i think i read something about this in the audioscrobbler thread.

    I also have the opinion that this should developed in the existing plugin and not seperate. So the audioscrobble development started and has huge 'potential'!? or let's say future. :wink:

    I just looked at the client source and it really isn't too bad. The stream is MP3 which MP already handles for internet radio.

    It will be a seperate plugin though because the AudioScrobbler is a process plugin and this could end up having some GUI involvment. I need to look at the current internet radio code, but the last.fm addition may very well slide in there. Plus the AudioScrobbler plugin uses the specific web services interface provided by last.fm to get playlist, neighbor, and all the other stuff not related to the audio stream. The client plugin probably will do just the stream related stuff.

    That was quite bad with AudioPlayerWMP9. With the external BASS player I finally got streams working reliable.

    Therefore MP has AudioscrobberRadio for a few days now - most things already implemented :D Design team is just thinking about skin concepts.

    I guess svn will have something to test in a few days - just watch for a new thread then ;)

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
