    AW: Continuous play not working?

    This may seem totally dumb, but how can I set last.fm to play music continously?

    When listening to My Last.FM all works fine (tags, scrobbling, etc) but after playing the first song in the list it stops and I have to manually select the next song.

    Is there something to set in the plugin configuration or when starting the stream?
    Do you use any 3rd party players / plugins (like ASIO, ...)?

    Any help (or kick in the pants) is appreciated.
    Okay - where are the logs? :p

    I have pureaudio running and it is set as the decoder for audio streams

    I have some others, when I get home from work I'll look at all the plugins I have running

    Thanks for the fast reply

    Figured it out...

    You can't have pureaudio process the last.fm stream... seems to only play one song and prevents you from jumping to the next song as well.

    Once I stopped pureaudio from handling the my lastfm stream, all functions returned.

    How can i use a physical (real) keybord for entering an artist name or a tag?
    I can not get the on screen keyboard to wor. Perhaps because of my remote. SMS style keybord doesn´t work too.

    Thank you in advance

    Please elaborate what happens and supply logs after it "doesn't work".
    With both keyboard types you can simply start to write on your keyboard.

    Hey RTV... Still loving last.fm as always... Just wondering if you thought about offering some additional information for skinners...

    Be absolutely amazing if I could pass the last.fm band info data straight to last.fm to the mp skin engine, so what ever artist is playing, the end user could get an idea of what they are all about.

    Also just wondering, is last.fm designed so you can't skip from outside of the last.fm plugin menu. Is there any way around this? Thanks...

    Hi!

    The last.fm radio plugin is still using the "legacy" webservices. For the detailed artist info the audioscrobbler plugin would have to be ported to their new API.

    Since users without subscriptions are not allowed to listen to their streams anymore and even subscribers do not get the best streams (favorite radio, playlists, etc) my motivation to put any work in it has dropped considerably.
