Here's what I tried so far:

Downloaded the mjp File from the MediaCenter plugins page as well as from the audioscrobbler page. Tried to open the file directly with MC. MC starts downloading it and tells me that the plugin has been installed successfully. The plugin is not listed in the plugin-manager, however. The .dll is not in the plugins directory (i do see all the other .dll files).
If i download the .mjp file manually and install it (by double clicking the file) manually as Jim suggested, i get the same result.

Any new ideas. Has anybody succeed in installing the plugin yet?

Cheers, T.

I am starting to depair at all these installation problems

I have never had this much trouble trying to package a piece of software before - and I do this sort of this for a living !

I know of at least 2 other people who have managed to get both v0.1 and v0.2 installed directly from the MJP file so there is obviously "something" right with it.

Those of you who are experiencing problems please tell me the following :

- operating system
- MC version

Assuming the DLLs are unzipped correctly, you need to open a command prompt and "cd" to the plugin dir. Then type "regsvr32 mcscrobbler.dll". That's all the MJP file is supposed to do (hence my frustration at it seemingly not being able to do it reliably !). If this reports any errors, try unregistering the old plugin first using "regsvr32 /u mcscrobbler.dll" and then registering it again. If you still get errors, please post the error message here.

If you can't even find the DLLs on your system (and they should be in C:\Program Files\J River\Media Jukebox\Plugins) then download the ZIP file directly using http://accessories.musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/731.zip and unzip into that directory manually.

Sorry for those of you who are experiencing problems. I never anticipated that it would be this hard for what is essentially a trivial bit of software.

Simon,

I tried to install it on XP Pro and XP Pro SP2. The MediaCenter version were 10.0.155 and 10.0.161. The mjp file didn't get extracted at all in my case... i ran a search across my whole HD and didn't find the .dll files ?

I successfully insalled it using the manual procedure though :-) now it runs like a charm :-) great plugin! Thank you for your effort.

Cheers, T.

I had the first one installed. Had some problems but I got it to work.

What I did, I went to the download page and clicked "Download" then I got a message that said package installed.

But alas it wasn't...

When I type the regsvr32 mcscrobbler.dll into run I get, a error saying that the specified module not found.

LonWar · « **Reply #104 on:** September 14, 2004, 06:33:34 am »

I went through this manually and when I typed "regsvr32 mcscrobbler.dll" I get an error saying it's not there, But if I type regsvr32 "c:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\Plugins\MCScrobbler.dll"

All is well and it works...

So, could that be why the mjp doesn't work? Because it's trying to register:
"regsvr32 mcscrobbler.dll" instead of:
regsvr32 "c:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 11\Plugins\MCScrobbler.dll"

sime_george · « **Reply #105 on:** September 14, 2004, 07:31:04 am »

I haven't tested it on MC11 so it could be that the installation process has changed slightly. And yes, you will have to be in the plugin directory to register it (either by "cd"ing to the right place or by specifying the full path as you did).

FYI my system is XP SP2 and MC10.161

I'd just like to add the plugin has worked great after manually registering it.

kaiynne · « **Reply #107 on:** September 14, 2004, 03:31:09 pm »

Just setup v2 manually, works perfectly. I for one am not too put out to have to manually install and I think you will finf that quite a few mc people are also inclined. Although I am sure that it is frustrating to not get it working "100%".

FWIW I am running XP SP1 and MC 10 v161 and MC 11 v81. Neither the first or second version of the plugin has worked using the mjp file. Both versions worked perfectly once manually installed. I am pretty sure that the mjp file never extracted the dlls on my system.

Thanks again for all of your hard work. Especially on the allow certain files types to be sent portion of the plugin.

kaiynne · « **Reply #108 on:** September 15, 2004, 02:20:10 pm »

Is anyone else having a problem with the latest build of MC v11 .82 and v2 audioscobbler plugin. It doesn't seem to be able to login for some reason. Anyone reproduce this?

Thanks,
Kain

urlwolf · « **Reply #109 on:** September 15, 2004, 02:52:09 pm »

WHat happens when one is not connected to the net, but MC is playing?
I'd like the plugin to remember the songs played and submit then to www.Audioscrobbler.com once the computer connects to the net.

Is this possible?

kaiynne · « **Reply #110 on:** September 15, 2004, 03:33:55 pm »

It must have been an AS server side problem because my plugin just connected.

OK ! Version 0.2 has now been released and is ready for download

New in this version :

- bug fixes (including correct artist !)
- proxy support (hopefully !)
Let me know how you get on.

Hi Simon,
Version 0.2 looks much nicer!

Thanks for adding proxy support to audioscrobbler.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. What port for the proxy will it use? Most proxy config dialogs will have an option for the proxy name and proxy port; eg. IE and Firefox.

I still get Unable to handshake, sleeping.

Hi - proxy support is handled by libscrobbler which in turn gets Curl to do it. You can specify the port in the proxy name after a colon, for example "myproxy:123" or "http://myproxy:123"

Try that and see how it works.

v0.2 has some extra controls which are useful if you're not on-line. For example, disabling the auto-login will ensure that you don't get asked to connect to the net. Also if you are on-line and logged in, you can disable the submission.

I think the feature you are asking for will not go down well with the audioscrobbler guys - someone suggested that "as MediaCenter keeps a track of how many times you have played a song anyway then why not use that info for AS" - but they didn't like that idea. This feature seems to be along the same lines to me. Lets say you'd played 100 songs and then went online : I'd have to then upload all that song data in one go. Unfortunately, I think AS is targeted mainly at broadband always-on users.

You could always post your idea on the AS forums and see what they say.

According to the forum some plug-ins already have some caching capabilities -> see here.

Is there a problem with audioscrobbler today?

My handshake was successful, but all of the submissions failed.. Bad Authorization?

LonWar · « **Reply #116 on:** September 17, 2004, 02:55:16 pm »

Well, If you put in the wrong password, it will say Handshake successful??
But it will say that the track has bad authorization.

Anyway to get it to tell you that the password is not valid?

Hmm, then there should be no problem to cache the songs played and submit them once connected...

datdude · « **Reply #118 on:** September 18, 2004, 02:18:23 am »

Flac files are not submitted. I added it to the audio file types but no dice.

Mp3's were successfull however so I know it's working as a whole.

urlwolf · « **Reply #119 on:** September 20, 2004, 08:36:54 am »

Looks like www.Audioscrobbler.com has been down the last 2 days. Just in case you are trying to test the plugin and not getting it to work...

With AS enabled, it crashes MC when the song tries to submit...
Any ideas?

Is anyone having trouble with this plugin? For the past two weeks I've been getting a "Bad Authorization" message when it tries to submit a song. It logs in fine, but just won't submit. I thought I had fixed the problem by removing MC10 - it submitted a song right after I deleted the remnant MC10 directories - but the problem came right back.

iCamp · « **Reply #124 on:** November 10, 2004, 11:41:34 pm »

I'm having the same problem reported by at least one other person in this thread: it's not reporting FLAC files. It sends data on MP3 & APE just fine but nothing for FLAC. The FLAC file type is listed in the file typ field.

Any ideas?

sime_george · « **Reply #125 on:** November 24, 2004, 02:52:21 pm »

Just tried FLAC for the first time - seemed to work just fine ! I added ";flac" to the end of the filetypes list (lower case, without quotes) and it submitted the file correctly. If you still have problems, can you paste your filetypes list in any reply please ?

Thanks,

S

iCamp · « **Reply #126 on:** November 26, 2004, 06:52:37 pm »

I ended up having to put the flac file type at the front of the list of file types. For some reason that little difference did the trick.

urlwolf · « **Reply #127 on:** December 14, 2004, 05:24:49 am »

Can you post your current degree of success here? Right now, I get no submissions, but handshake successful.

Thanks
