Last.FM Rework and Auto DJ mode (4 Viewers)

[jameson_uk]

Mike, just found a problem:

When i disable the LastFM.Radio plugin (since i don't have a subscription) i'm getting an error when i play a CD and hit Skip for the next song. Result is the current track info is gone from NowPlaying, controls aren't responding anymore and playback can't be stopped unless you Exit MP.
When i enable the plugin and skip a track, all is good!

OK pushed fix to branch.

IWhen I add a new song to the playlist, where will we insert the new song? For play next it should be between 4 - 5. For add to playlist should be between 6 - 7, right?

Not sure what you mean. If you add a song to the current playlist then you can choose where you add the track (the English strings are "Play Next" and "Queue Item")

Auto DJ will always add tracks to the end of the playlist

Could really do with any feedback at all on the radio stuff.
@lhcomputer @thm @ronilse @ms1964 @2BitSculptor @IchBinsShort any of you subscribers (with last.fm still working in your country) who would be prepared to help here ?

New build will be uploaded very shortly...

Depends on how many songs AutoDJ adds to the queue. If it adds, lets say 2-3 songs, the end is OK, but if it adds 100 songs, the Queue Item song will never play.

From my understanding, the first song you play adds 5 songs to the playlist. This was done to keep a 'buffer' for playback. After that, AutoDJ adds 1 song for every song played.

Got you.

If you select play next then it will always play as next track and queue will always add to the end. You want to add tracks between end of selected tracks and auto DJ tracks. So when you play an album and are on track 3 of 10 then you will probably have 7 auto DJ tacks. You want the ability to make a track play at 11?

Yep, now you got me. I would expect AutoDJ be the backup of the DJ basically.

OK new version posted. This needs people to test (particularly the radio element) if this is to make it into a future MP release.
Is no-one interested at all in last.fm radio ??

Hey i have used autoDJ mode and after a while it always the same last song running (maybe a loop of 5 song) not 100% sure, but i didn't have a big db so that can explain
I have in log a lot of failed authentication but i surely but wrong login / pass
I would say that it's really a nice feature.

Just to be sure, we have two plugins :
Last.fm Radio (windows plugins)
LastFMScrobbler (Process plugins)

Thanks Again

The authentification part (for me) looks strange.
I mean i add user but it stay blank : (so i don't know if it's added, i suppose yes because i didn't get false message)
