Anyone use it ?

I think there was a thread about this a while back. You might want to search back a few months.

Thanks I didn't noticed it.
I did a search and all I find within last 700 days is this:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=20999
I wouldn't call it a thread as this is a SINGLE post (ZERO comments)
I am not asking for MC plugin, I am just curious who of you chaps is using this service
and what do you think about it.
Now after little search I guess no one take care about it and this post will close the thread :-X
Cheers

For the record, I care. I think it sounds like an awesome idea. One i thought i discovered yesterday and lo and behold found audioscrobbler had already been developed.
Sounds like a low priority item on this forum. But here are my thoughts. Its only a matter of time before all content is available online. People will need more than a great organizer and player. They will need a guide to help them sort it out. The same way people listen to the radio so the dj can pick out songs that they will probably like since they approve of the stations format and vote by listening or not listening to it.
It is my belief that if you gave the majority of listeners access to all the music in the world and gave them the ability to choose what they want to listen to, they would choose the same ten bands they listened to in highschool.
A targeted guide will be important when choices are endless and the choosers are timid.

I like it.
-
Sounds like a great idea, I used to do something like this with napster, I would do a search for a band that I really liked and then check out the libraries of people who had that band and see what stuff they had that I didn't. I found out about some great bands that way.
they would choose the same ten bands they listened to in highschool.
[\quote]
Are there really people who only listen to ten bands? Certainly not on this board I think ;)
-
i looked at the site and it looks fantastic, would love if we had a MC plugin for it ;D
Zeltak
-
DITTO ;D I would love to see a plugin for this!!
-
As a long time user of MC, I'd like to agree. This service seems really neat.
-
Definitely a good idea and I too would like a MC plugin (so easy to say when it's not me building it).
You might want to checkout Yahoo! Launchcast, which lets you rate each song and adjusts your streaming playlist accordingly, the idea being that you build your own personal radio station.

Looks like they released a plugin ... havent had a minute to test it yet though ..

I can't figure it out either...
-
Yes. I got it too. trying to figure out how to install it....
Maybe you just have to copy and paste he files to the plugin folder?
-

That doesn' seem to work. Matt? Jim? any advice? I'd like to give this a try.
-
No idea. Did you try their site?
-
Yesterday, I tried their site and complained that there was no Media center plugin. I'll look now . . . . .
-
I posted a note on their forum ... when I posted here ... No replies yet!

Copy all files to the plugin directory.
Register MCScrobbler.dll.
Open Media Center go to tools>plugin manager and choose add plugin and point to MCScrobbler.dll.
Restart Media Center and you should see AudioScrobber in the plugin list.
Works great, it's pretty cool! ;)
-
Just to share my new knowleged (Thanks to google:)
You register by choosing Start / Run and then type:
regsvr32 [the path of MCScrobbler.dll]
[regsvr32 is in the windows system directory -- JimH edit]
-
Thanks guys .. Im up and running now .. MUCH better ...
Looks like it's working !
QUICK QUESTION: What are the criteria before it "submits" .. Is it a duration? What causes the submission?
-
It just submits it to the server when the song start's playing. You can see what a person is currently playing.
Remember to join the J River Media Center Groupe:
http://www.audioscrobbler.com/group/JRiver%2BMedia%2BCenter
-
Actually, it submits when the song hits 50% of the total play time ...
And, that's my group .... feel free to join :)
-
Just DLed this, and it's pretty interesting.
Though, I'm curious why it's transmitting the Album Artist (Auto) instead of the Artist listed in the library ? Anybody else having this happen, or is it just me?
-

yeah... I should've figured by looking at the username 8) So can I be vice president since I was the first member to join ;D
So, to the dev of the plugin or anyone els, would it be possible to enter audioscrobbler directly from within MC? That would be super cool.
-
I just signed up and I think it'll be interesting to see how this all works once I've gotten a good sized history with them. I also joined the MC group.
-
Just purchased MC10 and really like this plug-in. Hope to see it become a supported feature.

I typed the following

I get an error : LoadLibrary Failed - The specified module could not be found....
Any idea what I did wrong?
-
Gamer,
try doing it in commandline. Start dos and loacate the plugin polder (ie cd progam files\J river ...)
type regsvr32 MCScrobbler.dll when you in the folder.
check for spelling mistakes.
when using the run it might have to be in quotes, I'm not sure.

How do you configue the plugin to give it your audioscrobbler username/password?
-
In the tree on the left, click on Plug-ins, then click on Audioscrobbler. The username and password fields should show up.
-
Wow...this is really cool.
Thanks to all who helped get this implemented into MC.
-

ok, that was easy. thank you

Does this plugin work in Win98se?
When I try to register the .dll, I get the following error message:
DLLRegisterServer in c:\Program Files\J River\Media Center\Plugins\MCScrobbler.dll failed. Return code was: 0x80070078

Mine restarts automatically every time I open MC. Are you on a dial-up or cable connection?
Has anyone else had the problem of this plug-in scrobbling video files as well as music ? I'd be curious if it does it with image files too.
-
i have a dsl connection and im online 24/7...dosent start automaticlly for me.. strange....it sunny how it works a bit diffrently in each computer :)

Is anyone using Last.FM in conjunction with audioscrobbler?
The streamed song does not pass through the tags - song name, title, etc.
Also, can you get your own personal stream thru Last.FM into MC?
-
I like Audioscrobbler. Indeed.
Another point of view. Very interesting.
-
To whoever made this plug-in, thanks for a speedy answer to everyone's requests! It's great to see that people are paying attention to the users!
-
Wow, it took two days .... and AudioScrobbler.com is down ?
-

I've noticed this too. I'm not too happy about some of the DVDs I watch being made public... :-[
-

Seems so for now.
But why 'two days'? It's a little bit older?
-
Two days, I mean .. from when I got the new plugin .. installed ... and the site crapped out :)
Doesn't give that feeling of "stability" .. ya know ?
-
The Audioscrobbler site seems to work (again).....
Just registered, and downloaded and enabled the plugin. Works a treat! Looks nice....
-
Being able to navigate the site from within MC would be AMAZING!
-
So, anybody know whats up with this .com ??
Are they www.last.fm or are the www.audioscrobbler.com
Last.fm seems to have a more robust site (same login/everything) ..
-
Also seems to update a lot quicker...
It's really neet... Just need to be able to view the page in MC...
-

According to the site (before it went down again), lastfm and audioscrobbler share the same team, the same hardware, username/pw, etc.
There's an article in wired about them:

Who is the author of the Audioscrobbler plugin?
I may have found a bug with it and the webmasters of Audioscrobbler would like to contact him to start a forum for some Media Center / Audioscrobbler plugin support.
Thanks.
-
I installed it succesfully with the pre-release procedure (register, etc). Now, if you go to the MC plugins page, it is packaged as all the other plugins (.mjp). However, it doesn't work anymore, the plugin is not in the plugins list...
-
Never touch a running system ;).
But who is the author?
(By the way: Thanks!)
-
I'm guessing everyone's gotten this far, but in the plug-in, it says it was created by Simon George. There's a webpage, but it doesn't actually go anywhere.
-
It's a cool idea. Too bad these guys don't have the resources to implement it. I can't sign up for a new account. "Database maintenance."
-
I went to version 11 of MC and then back to v10... now I cant get the audioscrobbler plugin to show up anymore.
Oh well.
-
They are putting new servers online this weekend and had a planned outage. They hope to be back online "by the end of the weekend". Rome wasn't built in a day.
-
i hear lots of raving about this plugin.
Has anyone been able to use it properly ?
What are the results like ?
or do we have to wait till it gets "trained" till we see any results.

It works as it should, though to get full benefit you have to have listened to at least 100 songs. Otherwise it's too small a sample to build a "neighborhood".
-Doug
-
Worked great for me 'til they had their big bang last week (they lost some files I suppose).
It's very interesting to see the results and watch your neighbour's taste. You will find your own music with a few more (maybe) unknown bands worth listening to. And the neigbours change the more tracks you're playing - with the broadband of your taste.
It's worth trying it.
-
It updated today with songs in my most recently played list that I have not played in a long while. Odd.
-
Their website is back up and I can log into my account there, but my songs are gone. Looks like they lost about 1200 profiles. Oh well, I only had about 130 songs in there anyway. :)
My plugin is not able to connect at the moment. Not sure if this is because of a Scrobbler problem, or if it is related to the new version of 11. My guess is that it's an issue with the website.
There was some mention that they had to revert to a backup from Wednesday. That may be why some older songs are showing up.
-
You know what would be really great?
MC counts how many times you play each song.
I have been using MC for a long time now, longer than audioScrobbler has been existing probably.
If we could dump our MC counts into our audioScrobbler profiles, the recommendations would be really accurate!
Anyone understands the innards of audioScrobbler well enough to say if this is possible?
Thanks

Doesn't work for me, possibly bcos of my proxy server getting in the way. The plugin doesn't allow you to configure your proxy.

Would anyone be interested if I added this to PlayingNow?
-
Hi Rhino,
What exactly would you add to PN?
-
When a track is played according to the audioscrobbler rules I would log it to the website. I see it as a natural extension to the logging capability already build within PN.
-
I am not sure if it is worth your time... MC will do this with the plugin that was released.
-
Fair enough, I just thought that people would rather have one an "all-in-one" solution rather than running multiple plugins that do almost the same thing.
-
Would anyone be interested if I added this to PlayingNow?
Yea, the addition of a quality Audioscrobbler plug-in to PlayingNow would cause me to buy Playing Now.
-
Ok, I'll start on it later.
-
Rhino,
It would be great if you could make it somewhat user configurable. Let the user select what % of a song must be played before sending the data. Perhaps use MC's own song tracking to send the data (as suggested above by someone).
It could be a great addition. Thanks.
-
Here are the rules as defined by AudioScrobbler:
1) Each song should be posted to the server when it is 50% or 240 seconds complete, whichever comes first.
2) If a user seeks (i.e. manually changes position) within a song before the song is due to be submitted, submission should be cancelled.
3) Songs with a duration of less than 30 seconds, or more than 30 mimutes should not be submitted.
I'll add in overrides but don't be too suprised if the tracks don't get submitted. Personally I think #3 sucks because I listen to tracks over 30 minutes all the time :(
Oh, and by the way it's almost done :D
-
rhino... i would use that in PN too. Good idea.
others -- having trouble connecting to AS today -- perhaps a firewall issue. Does AS plugin use the Proxy settings from IE or just no proxy support?
-
Just waiting for a client id from the guys so I can do my final testing.

good good, looking forward to this. i tried the scrobbler plugin but that doesnt work, then went to the site and found that someone has already taken the username 'pipsqueak'... am well fed up now!

Hi - well, at last I have found this thread ! I'm the audioscrobbler plugin author so now you know who to flame ;) Been a bit busy so not had much time to follow up on this - although I do check the audioscrobbler site for comments.
Feedback so far seems pretty good - thanks. Some of you seem to have had problems installing the thing : not really sure why - initially I think it was a MC packaging problem 'cos they just uploaded the ZIP and not the MJP info I gave them : hence all this regsvr32 stuff ! If the MJP doesn't work then I'm not sure why - seems to work on a couple of XP machines I've tried it with.
The problems I've seen people mention are :
- it submits video files as well as audio
- I'll fix this, but I can't find a way to ask MC about the file type
(only the extension) so I'm gonna go for a solution where you
can tell it the extensions to use when submitting. Not very nice,
so if anyone knows a better way...
- it sometimes submits the wrong artist.
- I use the album artist method in the MC interface - not too clear
what I *should* be using (interface docs are pretty poor in places)
so I'll try a few things.
- auto-login
- next version will have an option to disable this which will be useful
for people on dialup connections.
- various other problems which are largely to do with the audioscrobbler
site itself having the problems that people have mentioned. The plugin
only submits info to AS - what they do with that info is up to them.
So, I'm working on v0.2 - any other suggestions or problems I've missed ?
Also, do you think it's worth me continuing with it if RhinoBanga is
integrating AS into his Playing Now plugin ?
Thanks for the feedback,
Simon
-
I prefer you plugin. Partly 'cause RhinoBingo charge for playing now. I don't like pop-ups either. No offence RhinoBingo, I think your program is great and I used to use the upload feature, but pop ups just aren't my cup of tea.
Sime, for some reason the plugins dosen't work with MC11 -- at least at my computer. Could you reupload the mjp?
Anyway great plugin I haven't had any problems
-
Also, do you think it's worth me continuing with it if RhinoBanga is
integrating AS into his Playing Now plugin ?
Definately as choice benefits everyone.
-
Hello,
I'm running sime_george's plugin, and I'm very happy with it. Just need to check this "various artists" situation ;).
Simon, please continue development on your plug-in, it's great.
I'm using MC on a HTPC with TheaterView... I have no taskbar running, therefore I'm not using something like PlayingNow.
Take care,
lpr
-
Simon,
On behalf of JRiver and the MC community, thanks very much. I think audioscrobbler is a very cool idea, and we're happy to be part of it (thanks to you).
Jim Hillegass
CEO, JRiver
-
Yes, Simon, I use it too and it's great. Keep up the good work... :D
-
I am using the audioscrobbler standalone plugin as well, and would also like to say thanks, I have had absolutely no problems with it. Great work.
-
Simon,
I second you continue work on the plugin, since I don't wanna pay for PlayingNow.
I was using it with MC 11 and it didn't work then.
I've since reverted to MC 9.1. The install doesn't work when downloading the plugin. I think it might be a problem with the .mjp file J river generates for your plugin.
Perhaps you need to be more verbose - I'm not sure if *.* will work; you may need to specify each file.
I would have thought you would have to explicitly copy the MCScrobbler.dll to the plugin dir and then register that too. eg:
File2=MCScrobbler.dll
File2Action1=COPY_PLUGINDIR
File2Action2=REGISTER
So I hacked an install myself.
=================
Anyway, the plugin doesn't work for me. As I said in a previous post, maybe I need to specify my proxy settings. The winamp plugin allows me to specify proxy settings, and that works.
Your plugin says "Submitting song info" but it never appears on my audioscrobbler page (but winamp entries do).

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but somehow i can't install the AS plugin. If i click on the link, i choose "open with Media Center". MC downloads the plugin and gives me confirmation that the plugin has been installed sucessfully.
If check in MC's plugin-Manager however and don't see any Audioscrobbler plugin ?
I also checked in the plugins directory - nothing.
Can anybody help me out? is something wrong with the install package?
TIA, Tabalooga
-
OK ! Version 0.2 has now been released and is ready for download :D
Just to re-iterate, I have only tested this on MC version 10 (as specified when submitting the plugin). I haven't got v11 yet as it's still in Beta and to be honest probably won't support v11 until it's finally released.
New in this version :
- bug fixes (including correct artist !)
- proxy support (hopefully !)
- more configuration options
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers,
Simon
-
I removed .1 and installed .2 (it reported installed successfully but It doesn't show up in MC10. I did a search for the mcscrobbler.dll file and it doesn't appear on my HD. All I have is the the old dll dated 8-12-2004. Where is the .mjp file place the dll file?
TIA
-
Should be in C:\Program Files\J River\Media Jukebox\Plugins
(I assume you have windoze configured to show hidden & system files as it may be treating the DLL as one)
These install problems are very strange ! Works for me and at least 2 others I know. Anyone have any ideas ? MJP file is now :
[Package]
Name=AudioScrobbler
Action=UNZIPDIR
Version=0.2.0
URL=mcscrobbler.zip
[Action]
File1=*.*
File1Action1=COPY_PLUGINDIR
File2=MCScrobbler.dll
File2Action1=REGISTER
-
Yes, I see all the other .dll files.
I picked the url from the .mjp file and opened the .zip file and extracted the contents into the plugins folder. I tried to add the plugin but it doesn't show up after clicking open.
-
Did you try just executing the mjp file?
Double click on it. It does more than unzip and move files.
-
After copying down the mcscrobbler.dll file and registering it manually it appears to be working. I had to perform the same procedure as .1.
Thank you for coding this plugin. I really love using audioscrobbler.
-
Did you try just executing the mjp file?
Double click on it. It does more than unzip and move files.
That's what I tried orginally and it said it was successful. But nothing updated in my plugins folder. I've successfully installed other .mjp packages with the same system.
-
Ok, this is an error that I get often with V0.1:
Your plugin reported a submission error: Spam protection triggered - submission dated earlier than previous submissions. (at 13:42:20 GMT, Monday, September 13, 2004)
I'm not home yet, but will try v0.2 as soon as I get there...
Thanks!
-
I downloaded and installed the new version on the MC plugins page.. .0.2.0 and when I go into the Plugin Manager it says that the version # is 1.0.0
Signed Dazed and Confused.
-
I would like to upgrade to v.2 of the plugin but the mjp doesn't work for me, neither did .1 i just registered it manually. Is there any chance of someone linking to the zip file like was done for the original version.
Thanks,
Kain
-
Can someone post a link to version .2? The Audioscrobbler site only shows version .1 here: http://www.audioscrobbler.com/download.php#J.%20River%20Media%20Center
Thanks.
-
You can download version 2 from the MC plugins page. Make sure you select version "10."
You can get the package directly by clicking here (http://accessories.musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/731.mjp)

I installed that one, and in the plugins manager, it says v 1.0.0.
How come?
-
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 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"
-
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).

Those of you who are experiencing problems please tell me the following :
- operating system
- MC version
FYI my system is XP SP2 and MC10.161
I'd just like to add the plugin has worked great after manually registering it.
-
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.

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,

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?
-
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 :D
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 (http://www.audioscrobbler.com/forum/22/_/7683/2).

Is there a problem with audioscrobbler today?
My handshake was successful, but all of the submissions failed.. Bad Authorization?
-
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...
-
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.
-
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...
-
They're moving their servers from Vienna to London. They're supposed to be back up today or tomorrow.
-
With AS enabled, it crashes MC when the song tries to submit...
Any ideas?

anyone know what the 'mentor' scheme is?

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