Last.fm - personalized radio streams in MediaPortal! (1 Viewer)

AW: Last.fm - personalized radio streams in MediaPortal!

I found a solution. I would delete my Music-Database and make a new scan, so maybe it helps. But then I saw in this Folder a .xml file from Last.FM with the cached songs. I have deleted it, and now it works fine. Maybee this Solution could be added to a FAQ or the Wiki. Because another User has this problem...

Hi IchBinsShort - anyone can update the Wiki as long as you login with your forum user name. Before I add it I just want to verify the file you deleted was LastSmartPlaylist.xml ?

EDIT: Is it possible some of the files in your lastfmplaylist were no longer on your hdd or in a diff location? Just wondering why that file would cause/solve the issue.

Oh it was not the solution, it works only for a few minutes. The only Solution was to delete the Database and make a new Search.

When playing music from a CD or MP3-file, #Play.Current.Thumb is filled with the thumb from that album.
When I enter Last.FM it is overwritten with something else, anyhow the thumb now disappears.
Going back to home-screen now has a missing thumbnail.

...and problem is in GUILastFM.cs:

    private void Worker_LoadSettings()
    {
      try
      {
        // Will be stopped on success or error
        GUIWaitCursor.Show();

        // Do the tasks needed everytime we enter the plugin:
        string ThumbFileName = String.Empty;
        if (AudioscrobblerBase.CurrentPlayingSong != null &&
            AudioscrobblerBase.CurrentPlayingSong.Artist != String.Empty)
        {
          // If we leave and reenter the plugin try to set the correct duration
          SetDuration(AudioscrobblerBase.CurrentPlayingSong, false);
          ThumbFileName = Util.Utils.GetCoverArtName(Thumbs.MusicArtists, AudioscrobblerBase.CurrentPlayingSong.Artist);
        }
        // repopulate the facade after maybe exiting the plugin
        //if (facadeRadioPlaylist != null)
        //{
        //  facadeRadioPlaylist.Clear();
        //  foreach (Song listTrack in _radioTrackList)
        //  {
        //    GUIGraphicsContext.form.Invoke(new ThreadFacadeAddItem(AddItemToFacadeControl), new object[] { listTrack });
        //  }
        //}
        SetThumbnails(ThumbFileName);
        _scrobbleUsers = MusicDatabase.Instance.GetAllScrobbleUsers();
        // Do proper first time initialisation
        if (!LastFMStation.IsInit || LastFMStation.AccountUser != AudioscrobblerBase.Username)
          LastFMStation.LoadSettings(true);
        else
          OnRadioSettingsSuccess();
      }
      catch (Exception ex)
      {
        Log.Error("GUIRadioLastFM: Error loading settings - {0}", ex.ToString());
      }
    }

which is run as a thread everytime the plugin is loaded. This calls SetThumbnails(ThumbFileName);

    private void SetThumbnails(string artistThumbPath_)
    {
      // GUITextureManager.CleanupThumbs();
      string thumb = artistThumbPath_;

      if (thumb.Length <= 0)
      {
        thumb = GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\media\missing_coverart.png";
      }
      else
      {
        // let us test if there is a larger cover art image
        string strLarge = Util.Utils.ConvertToLargeCoverArt(thumb);
        if (Util.Utils.FileExistsInCache(strLarge))
        {
          thumb = strLarge;
        }
      }
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#Play.Current.ArtistThumb", thumb);

      string albumthumb = Util.Utils.GetCoverArtName(Thumbs.MusicAlbum, AudioscrobblerBase.CurrentPlayingSong.Album);
      if (Util.Utils.FileExistsInCache(albumthumb))
      {
        string strLarge = Util.Utils.ConvertToLargeCoverArt(albumthumb);
        if (Util.Utils.FileExistsInCache(strLarge))
        {
          albumthumb = strLarge;
        }

        GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#Play.Current.Thumb", albumthumb);
      }
      else
      {
        GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#Play.Current.Thumb", String.Empty);
      }

      if (imgArtistArt != null)
      {
        imgArtistArt.SetFileName(thumb);
        //imgArtistArt.Dispose();
        //imgArtistArt.AllocResources();
      }
    }

Could someone (rtv)? fix this?

The last.fm plugin is a bit of a legacy one now. Perhaps it would be simpler to just change the skin property name to something like #music.lastFM.currentArtist ???
