Hi Folks,

Please find enclosed v1.0.0.5 of the last.fm plugin.

*VERY VERY VERY 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\


Here's a list of changes since the last official beta:

Code: [Select]

// 1.0.0.5 02/Aug/07 - Beta
// ! If a track submission failed with BADAUTH we did not add it to the resubmission queue (if enabled)
// - By default the plugin does not start when MC starts, you have to enable this mode in the options screen (a J River request)
// - Implemented new XML parser which supports unicode
// - Now only supply unicode version of plugin
// - Queue and replacements information now saved as XML
// - Added display of last.fm response from submission to Gui log
// + Added more support for the INTERVAL command
// + Added option to submit any queued tracks immediately when the plugin starts, this is the default
//
//
// 1.0.0.4
// ! Fixed issue where reattempt flag was not being saved
// - Added ~da to the beginning of the filename qualifier, so filter now becomes ~d=a filename=...
// - Plugin now only works under MC12 (a J River request)




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 will be merged into the main MC program.

When you first fire up MC you will have to go to the plugin section and click on the last.fm plugin to activate it.
The plugin will then prompt you to enter your username/password.
I also suggest you click on the "Run the plugin when Media Center starts" so the plugin always runs.


General comments:

1)  The plugin now only works under MC 12 - this is a J River decision so if you haven't upgraded by now I suggest you do so.
2)  The plugin by default does not start with MC.   Again this is a J River decision to speed up the starting of MC.   Therefore when you start MC after installing the plugin I suggest you go to the plugin, hit options and check "Run the plugin when Media Center starts".
3)  The plugin is now Unicode which means it should handle foreign characters sets better.
4)  The submission queue and replacements information is now held in XML.



Please post any bug reports in this thread.

FYI for Vista Users the LAST.FM directory to clear out is in something like "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\J River\last.fm\"

EDIT - All working well 

[craft]

sweet 
thanks a lot!

[Higginz]

Thanks! Installed, and scrobbling fine

I really appreciate this plug-in.

[221bBS]

Thanks!! 

I still can't seem to get the filters to work.

I'm trying to get everything in the "Folder (A)" field that equals "Audio" to not submit to last.fm

normally it would be "-[Folder (A)]=Audio" but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried
-"Folder (A)"=Audio
-"Folder (A)"="Audio"
-[Folder (A)]=[audio]

I made "foldera" the keyword for "Folder (A)" field and tried
-foldera=audio
-foldera=[audio]
but that didn't work either

I'm wonder if i have to add something in front? The file type has the "filetype=" before listing the file types... do i need to add anything?

Currently i am doing
Filetype=[mp3],[wav],[ogg],[flac],[ape],[mpc],[wma],[wv],-[Folder (A)]=audio

[RhinoBanga]

Comma's are used to provide multiple entries in a list.   In the example you have given you are specifying -[Folder (A)]=audio as a filetype.

Try:

Filetype=[mp3],[wav],[ogg],[flac],[ape],[mpc],[wma],[wv] -[Folder (A)]=audio

[221bBS]

Try:

Filetype=[mp3],[wav],[ogg],[flac],[ape],[mpc],[wma],[wv] -[Folder (A)]=audio

Nope, this has it submitting everything

[marko]

try placing the filetype specifications in the "supported extensions" field on the "Advanced" tab, and place the exclusion, -[Folder (A)]=audio in the "Advanced Filter" tab.

that ought to to do the trick.

I'm off to have another go at installing Vista....
back soon

-marko.

[RhinoBanga]

Nope, this has it submitting everything

Have a look at the trace log and see what search criteria it is passing to MC, then issue that in the MC search box to see what it qualifies.   If it doesn't qualify your (valid) track then we can ask J River to look at it.

[anteo]

Seems like plugin still sends data to last.fm in plain ASCII. Therefore, cyriillic names are scrobbling wrong (using standard encoding ISO8859-1)

I found out that old last.fm plugin (it works good with cyrillic) uses POST http method to send data to server instead of GET. Additionaly, it encodes all data values in UTF-8.

To prove it, I wrote small transparent proxy in PHP. I take all GET's data from your plugin, encode it in UTF-8 and send POST query to last.fm server using CURL library. Now it works!

Hope it helps...

[RhinoBanga]

That I am very surprised about.   Since the plugin is Unicode all the CString construction is in Unicode, which is what I use to create the last.fm URL, then I call the InternetOpenUrl API which takes a unicode string for the url.

I'll have a look at the weekend to see what is going on.

Filtering podcasts doesn't seem to work. For me.
-genre=podcasts

But the stock includes are fine and submissions are working fine.

Can the plugin handle login/passwords that include extended ascii chars? I'm getting "Response: BADAUTH", though I'm sure the l/p I've entered are correct. My password contains an "æ" though, and I'm guessing that this is the issue. Perhaps the conversion to the scrambled/encrypted password in the .ini is where the problem occurs, or later when the scrambled pass in the .ini is de-scrambled/decrypted back to the original pass.

Whatever the case, I can't log onto the servers due to bad authentication.

Quote from: RhinoBanga on March 29, 2007, 10:04:18 PM
Hmmm ... no idea.   In theory it should be OK as I treat the string as a set of unsigned char's which will preserve the full 8-bit set.   I'm back from France now so when I settle back to normality (probably this weekend) I'll check into it.

Did you ever get a chance to check this, Rhino? I still can't authenticate to the last.fm servers with my non-standard password, even now with b5.

[221bBS]

My Filter is set...
Filetype=[mp3],[wav],[ogg],[flac],[ape],[mpc],[wma],[wv] -[Folder (A)]=Audio

but the search is doing...
Filetype=[mp3],[wav],[ogg],[flac],[ape],[mpc],[wma],[wv] -Music=Audio

not sure why it is replace "-[Folder (A)]=Audio" with "-Music=Audio"

[RhinoBanga]

Filtering podcasts doesn't seem to work. For me.
-genre=podcasts

But the stock includes are fine and submissions are working fine.

Works fine for me.   #38/37 show only submitting genre=podcasts and #52/50 show excluding genre=podcasts

No string manipulation of the filter takes place.   Can you post the subset of the logfile showing what the plugin is doing please.

Sorry, I haven't looked into it.   Drop me an email (jamie(_at_)jdnet.co.uk) and we'll get this sorted.

I figured out what's going on. anytime I use "[]" it replaces it with the value.

Line 21... I used "-[Folder (A)]-Audio" but it submitted "-Music=Audio". "Music" is what is stored in "[Folder (A)]"
Line 48... I used "-genre=audio" since there was no "[]" everything was fine
Line 75... I used "-[genre]" but it submitted "Pop | Hip Hop". "[Genre]" was replaced with the genre field

I figured out what's going on. anytime I use "[]" it replaces it with the value.

Line 21... I used "-[Folder (A)]-Audio" but it submitted "-Music=Audio". "Music" is what is stored in "[Folder (A)]"
Line 48... I used "-genre=audio" since there was no "[]" everything was fine
Line 75... I used "-[genre]" but it submitted "Pop | Hip Hop". "[Genre]" was replaced with the genre field

Aha ... found it!   The code it was issuing a GetFilledTemplate on the filter prior to searching.   PM me with an email address and I'll send you this latest version to see if the problem is now resolved.

  That did it, the filter is working perfectly

Cool.   I'll get beta 6 out tonight.
