I'll have to look into this. The problem was not running dsmetool through run-standalone.sh. The process was starting, but it was failing to initialize mafw-shared.

Of course, I could request other application ids, one for each supported device. Not sure if it's worth the burden.

Short answer: that's not feasible. Long answer: what you see displayed in the user last.fm page is the name of the application, as registered by its developer when requesting a scrobbling client id. One application - one client id - one application name displayed there. Then again, having one client id per device should be feasible. It's a matter of discussing it with the last.fm people and being sure that we are not stepping on Nokia's toes by using 'Nokia N900' as the application name.

It seems that somewhere the documentation should explain that that is how to start a user daemon process or take action on X session startup (and that /etc/event.d is the way to tell upstart to start a system daemon process or take action on system boot). Out of interest, why is there a .post directory (instead of just using .d)?

Hi all, I was trying to test mafw-lastfm plugin on my N900 but I cannot make it work. I've installed it from extras-devel, I've configured it following the istructions contained in README and I've restarted the device. The plugin is not started automatically and I don't think the average user would be able to understand how to start a mafw plugin. Could you please fix this for the next release?

Yes, tracks are queued. Once there is a connection available, the queue is flushed and the tracks are sent to last.fm. This doesn't happen immediately after the connection is available, though, but only when you start listening again. This could be improved. Another limitation is that the queue is not serialized, so if the process is terminated for any reason, the queue will be emptied. This is also important to fix.
