Re: Rockstar 2.0 - the ultimate online music plugin (Spotify&Grooveshark)

Hi Seco..

3 things ...

1st - have you run into the issue with Rockstar not releasing Last.FM. If you run Rockstar it breaks the Last.FM plugin so it cannot load artist or genre, etc. playlists. You have to resort to a MePo restart to get Last.FM going again.

2nd - Pause and Skip doesn't seem to be working, only Stop.

3rd - Is it possible to add being able to assemble a playlist from local playlists? Instead of having to do a music search if you already have a good selection of artist playlists created locally. It would be nice to just highlight a song from a playlist, then hit info, then select to Add or ADD All to default playlist.

Thanks.

Chuck

I have no idea why this would happen. I've never used Last.FM plugin so I probably need to give it a try. My best guess at this point is that something goes wrong when 3rd party "music plugin" is used and I do something in my code that should not be done.

2nd - Pause and Skip doesn't seem to be working, only Stop.

Yep, my player implementation currently does not support Pause or Skip. Pause might be easy to implement but skipping streams I'm not sure of.

3rd - Is it possible to add being able to assemble a playlist from local playlists? Instead of having to do a music search if you already have a good selection of artist playlists created locally.

I guess this is possible yes..

Not having much luck with this plugin.
Running MP 1.2.0 beta 32-bit
I get this when MP starts...

Code:

2011-06-07 00:23:25.627156 [Info.][MPMain(1)]:   Load plugins from : C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\windows\Rockstar.dll

   at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, Boolean nonPublic)
   at MediaPortal.GUI.Library.PluginManager.LoadWindowPlugin(String strFile)

...and nothing in the menu.
And when I try to uninstall via MPEI it doesn't get removed although it disappears from the list of installed extensions.

What are the pre-reqs for this? The documentation is a little light.

Hi,

How's the documentation light, what would you like to know more? Did you see the link in the first post?

What comes to your problem, I've never seen this before. Please post all of your logs.

Plugin not uninstalling is a bug in MPEI installer which I can do nothing about but it is fixed in next version of MP.

I saw the link in the first post but couldn't see any installation instructions.

Logs attached. I've had to grab these by hand because the proper MP log exporter bombs ("can't translate non-Unicode character" or similar). If there any other log files you need let me know.

One thing I've noticed is that with this plugin installed, the mediaportal.exe process doesn't terminate after the GUI exit - it just hangs around in the background.

Still looking for translations so 2.0.1 can be released, I already have English, Finnish, Danish, Dutch.

So please help if your native language is not yet translated, it won't take many minutes

Norwegian, bokmål.
(Might need some work later on

).

Re: Rockstar 2.0 - the ultimate online music plugin (Spotify&Grooveshark)

Spanish translation file attached, seco ;-)

BTW, would it be possible to add an option to start the plugin directly into on of the "categories"? (Search, Default playlist, Playlist,...) I would love to view my playlists at the plugin startup with having to go down and select "Playlist" in the "hidden menu". What do you think?

Thanks for your work and best regards,

Aitor

Re: Rockstar 2.0 - the ultimate online music plugin (Spotify&Grooveshark)

here is the french translation.
As most people said, it may need some rework (the french language uses looooooong sentences for simple concepts, some might be too long) Feel free to ask, I'd be happy to improve my file.

Thanks again for the awesome work
