Last.fm - personalized radio streams in MediaPortal! (2 Viewers)

I've noticed that when i enter in My music, last.fm stops, why? it's a bug? I think that it should stop only if i start playing another video or music file...

regards,

With MP 0.2.3 stable, banning a song does not seem to work. Well, it doesn't respond by skipping to the next track. Is this intentionally or is it a bug?

I've just discovered a new way to listen to last.fm using the standard radio plugin. Therefore I have installed LastFMProxy and prior to that I've installed Python. Before starting MP I've started the LastFMProxy and configured a Web-Stream in the configuration tool at the radio part with the URL: http://localhost:1881/lastfm.mp3. There are a few things to do, because you can't skip, ban and love tracks and in addition to that you can't see a picture of the album either. Nevertheless it is a nice experiment.

Last Fm cuts a deal

Anyone aware of how the new Last fm deal with the major music labels will affect MPs usage of last fm?

 

[moiristo]

What deal?

 

[Efros]

Why this deal!

Need help with some actions/ID's

Hi RTV,

I have a question - I'm looking for a way to have the right-click menu under a button in left pane menu.
It's because I'm making a skin with all controls/options directly accessible for touch-screen use.
So I thought i copy this part:

<control>
<description>start a stream</description>
<type>button</type>
<id>10</id>
<label>34001</label>
<onleft>10</onleft>
<onright>50</onright>
<onup>666</onup>
<ondown>20</ondown>
</control>

Change the ID to the proper ID when you right-click the screen and change the label to eq. "More"

But I can't find any information about the used ID's inside lastFM.xml, so maybe you can give a hint/solution?
and an other thing which is nagging on me... what kind of menu is used for the dialog? - can't find that one as well.

Thanks in advance,

GetaGrip

Maybe you could install a small streaming server like Icecast.org on your laptop to "emulate" the internet with your local mp3 files

Is it possible to connect to a local icecast stream? If so, how? TIA.

Hi,

is this plugin still in development?
I really like it, but seeing no activity here I am wondering if there is another, preferred way to listen to last.fm?

I am asking because I use the Aeon Wide skin and would try to adopt the skin files for the last.fm plugin into it. Just checking if this is really necessary

Bye,
Shukuyen.

Of course!
Unfortunately the major playback issue is BASS related which won't be upgraded before 1.0 release.
On the other hand last.fm just introduced a new API which changes e.g. playlist handling dramatically. I'll see how to adapt those changes in the next weeks.
