Title: Start Last.FM playback from MCWS
Post by: bjyvideo on March 27, 2013, 05:50:57 pm
I looked all over the board for someway of doing this and so far I'm not seeing a reliable way to do this and any help would be appreciated.

I don't see a specific MCWS command for starting Last.FM so I'm using the /Control/MCC?Command=10050 where 10050 is Playback code command for MCC_PLAY_RADIO_LAST_FM.

This will somewhat start the playback of Last.FM but it hangs because the Last.FM music dialog box pops up waiting for input.

I've used the MCWC keyboard commands /Control/Key?Key=Tab and Enter with focus set to 0 and 1. To force the dialog box to close but this only works about 25% of the time so I'm looking for a better method.

What would be really nice would be to add a parameter to the MCC_PLAY_RADIO_LAST_FM command so that the station information could be passed to the Last.FM dialog when sending the command via MCWS. Currently the parameters are ignored.

So is there some other way to do this that I'm missing?

thanks,
Bill

Welcome.

There's not a good way to do this right now.

I'm wondering if adding an MCWS function would be the best approach.

Are you always using the same seed, or changing each time?
