[ANN] Official JRiver last.fm/audioscrobbler plugin Beta 2
Hi All,
The next beta of the official JRiver plugin can be downloaded here:
http://www.jdnet.co.uk/jriver/as_beta.zip*IMPORTANT* - Please uninstall any previous Beta as well as clearing out the files in this directory (if you have it):
<Documents and Settings>\<User>\Application Data\J River\last.fm\
This is a stand-alone module at the moment (i.e. download the .ZIP file, extract the .EXE and run it) but in the future it may be merged into the main MC program.
When you first fire up MC after installation you will be prompted to enter your username/password, after clicking OK MC will start registering the following filetypes:
*.mp3,*.wav,*.ogg,*.flac,*.ape,*.mpc,*.wma,*.wv
If there's any other audio filetypes I have missed let me know.
Please post any bug reports in this thread.
Here's what's new since the previous beta:
Refactored submission code and changed internal track object to be a ref counting smart ptr for efficiency.
Added buddy system so you can see what your friends are listening too, default hotkey is Alt+Win+B
Made sure tracks submitted using UTC time (as per AS spec) however can be overriden by setting UseUTC=False in .INI file.
Password is mangled to prevent casual theft
If there are no problems with this then I will release this as v1 shortly since it's functional. I'll then start on the other enhancements people have asked for, e.g. the ability to exclude track submission based on search criteria.
P.S. If anyone is using the PlayingNow plugin I suggest you make sure that the last.fm support in it is disabled or else you will be registering your tracks twice!
