Thanks rtv! Can;t wait to try when I'm finfished working.

Awesome!! I will install the latest SVN and test it out tonight when I get home from work...... (yeah, I am reading forums at work).

Btw, have you been able to look into the problem where the stream won't start and just play a short burst, requiring a restart of MP to get it playing again?

I already have a detailed guess what might happen and how to fix but I'd need a log of the Bass error which occurs - maybe it is more verbose than just some "outtiming".

In my case playing any audiofile with BASS (including Last.FM radio) results in (frequent) stops. I don't have to to restart MP, just the audio file or stream. I have this problem ever since the BASS engine is introduced. I still like BASS very much and won't stop using it. But it still is quite anoying.

I am using the Discovery mode now. Way cool! I'm finally listening to NEW music again, and not the same tunes over and over like before.

On another note... is the BASS engine required to use the plugin? I tried to switch to the other player choice, internal dshow, but the plugin never started to play, the spinning circle never went away. As soon as I switched back to BASS, playback worked fine. I have nothing against BASS, I just wanted to test if the problem with interrupted playback went away when using the other player.

How can I get you the log you need? Attached is the current MP log when the problem occurs. I was playing last.fm just fine, enjoying the new Discovery Mode. I stopped it and watched a video for about 20 minutes or so. When I returned to last.fm, the problem occurs, just 1 sec burst, then the music stops.

There is one error message that seem to show up in the log every time this happens, and that is

Command:MediaPortal.TV.Recording.StopRadioCommand failed reason:No tuner cards installed time:0 msec

Strange, Bass does even think it is still playing.. The radio error is irrelevant this is for DVB in MyRadio only - no idea why nobody dares to touch that.

I'm having a problem with the last.fm plugin using the latest SVN version of MP:

2007-01-31 20:51:39.125000 [Info.][MPMain]: OnMessage exceptionystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at MediaPortal.Player.PlayerFactory.Create(String fileName)
at MediaPortal.Player.g_Player.Play(String strFile)

at MediaPortal.GUI.RADIOLASTFM.GUIRadioLastFM.OnClicked(Int32 controlId, GUIControl control, ActionType actionType)
at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindow.OnMessage(GUIMessage message)

It seems to pass null to the gplayer..any ideas?



Edit: I forgot to set the audioplayer to BASS. It works now

Audioscrobbling is only active on the Last.fm MP window? How do you activate scrobbling on the My Audio MP window? I want to have scrobbling enabled on whatever screen I'm looking at, is it possible?
