Last.FM Rework and Auto DJ mode (3 Viewers)

[Pat Clark]

Suggestion: For wife approval, a better way to "start over" than to clear playlist.

Not sure what you mean? Are you talking about when you close MP or something else?

Maybe it's me, not you!

Say you're tired of the currently playing style of song, and wish to switch to something completely different. What I have been doing is clear the current playlist, and start a song in the new style.

Just press play on another track / album / genre in your collection and it will start playing and auto DJ mode will reset based on that track

Duh. Too easy. Please fix to make it harder.

It seems that MusicInfoHandler plugin has the same problem?!? At least crashing for me too...anything you can do @Sebastiii?

@jameson_uk: as you seem to look into this again: any chance to have a look if your MusicInfoHandler can be fixed according to what @Sebastii found out?

Unfortunately I am not a mind reader
I can find no details of what your issue is.

Hi guys,

I have only add try / catch and push to the branch but it seems homey get also message (not in legal form or something).
About MusicInfoHandler @The_Stig maybe debug dll+pdb can you us the callstack

Unfortunately I am not a min reader

I'm dissapointed

I can find no details of what your issue is.

I had a crashing MP with Last.FM and Musicinfohandler. This is what @Sebastii did for me and it works now in MP (at least no crashes anymore):

About The_Stig crash, it happen on : filter = filter.Replace("{dir}", "'" + Path.GetDirectoryName(tag.FileName) + "'"); in mediaportal\ProcessPlugins\LastFMScrobbler\LastFMScrobbler.cs. Der Pfad hat ein ungültiges Format / The path is not in legal form. Surely related to culture info Adding try / catch solve the crash but not the root cause lol

So maybe you can do the same in MusicInfoHandler? I am just guessing here.

But I still could do with seeing logs of the crash as Seb has put a workaround in but I need to see what the actual issue is.

That code is not in MusicInfoHandler so if there is an issue you are seeing with that plugin again I need to see logs

Sorry, was lazy actually

Logs attached now. No debug logs as plugins gets disabled then. What I am seeing now is a "MediaPortal stopped responding" directly after a startup of MP when and if MusicInfoHandler is enabled. But still MP is working actually, means: I can turn on music and everything else. Reproducible. Installed is a 1.4 version with Sebastii's fixes for Last.FM plugin.

I am on the train now but I an fairly sure you are not running the latest version of the plugin. Please update it via MPEI
