Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Updated NowPlaying plugin

2007-03-04 Thread Phil Meyer
Hi Max,

I run the lastest 6.5.2 via SVN interpreted via ActivePerl.

I installed the Now Playing plugin when it was released.  Recently, whilst I 
have been investigating a SlimServer problem, I have been moving all 3rd party 
plugins out of my installation folder to see if any were causing my problem.

I noticed that I had an SVN icon in the NowPlaying folder, so I didn't move 
this plugin, thinking it was an official plugin.

The reason is that your NowPlaying zip download contains a .svn folder.  I 
don't think you should be distributing that.

I notice in now playing frame, there is a text label itemobj.album.idAlbum.  
I assume this is a placeholder that should have been expanded into something

I see the same thing; it should say Album.

I'm running a 6.5.2 nightly build: SlimServer Version: 6.5.2 - 11539 -

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm plugin: Multiple problems on Firefox2 (and IE7)

2007-03-04 Thread ModelCitizen

Hello,
I am becoming a heavy user of the great Last.fm service and really
appreciate the Last.fm and SlimScrobbler plugins. Almost as must as the
Squeezebox they've revolutionised my listening habits... so thank you
very much developers. I am in your debt.

However, I've been having some problems that I thought I should report.
These problems may be mainlydue to a couple things though, latest
browsers and the fact that I am bit of a Last.fm power user.

I have subscribed (paid) to Last.fm recently and so have spent some
time this weekend setting usome radio stations (about 35).

I an on XP Pro and was using 6.5.1. I have now upgraded to 6.5.2
nightly to see if things improved but it's made no difference.

I normally use Firefox 2 (2.0.2 since last night I think) and the
Fishbone Tan skin.
However, I've now started to use the default skin in an attempt to get
variables out of the way 9also with no joy). I've even tried with I.E
7.

I only used I.E for short while as the Last.fm plugin does not seem to
display correctly in it... e.g. the titles are missing for the Change
Radio Station text entry boxes for instance (and I think the text entry
boixes may be displaying in the wrong order too.. at least entering a
band into the top field seems to enter it as a user radio station).

Firefox 2 (and possibly/probably universal).

1) When I try to enter a band name into the Similar Artist text field
locating the cursor into the field causes the frame to reload making it
impossible to write anything.

2)I am a (paid) Last.fm subscriber and I want to play (and save) a
personal radio station, so I enter:

user/MixmasterMorris/personal
or even
listen/user/MixmasterMorris/personal (taken from the Last.fm player
link)

but it is as if I am not a (paid) subscriber and the pluging sets up,
Loved, Recommended and Neighbours stations for the user, but not the
Personal station. Is this what is supposed to happen or am I missing
something?

3) There seems to be some oddity happening with Groups with spaces in
their titles. I've got some groups with percent20 instead of the space
or a plus sign instead of the space.. and others just have a space.

4) Is there any way to stop the plugin setting up stations
automatically? I'd like to keep control od the stations I list in the
web interface and player.

Thanks for any feedback

MC

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Sorting out last.fm tags

2007-03-04 Thread adamslim

I'm using last.fm more now, especially now I can scrobble my (Rockbox)
iPod, so I want it to work a bit better...

I have my artist tags exactly how I want them: surname, firstname. 
Some of my stuff has multiple artists.  I don't want anything to change
about how SlimServer works.

The problem is that last.fm frequently tells me that my tags are
broken.  It doesn't like surname, firstname.

Is there a way of specifying a tag that is submitted to last.fm?  I can
quite happily (ish) go through my tags and add stuff if necessary, but
it's important that nothing breaks.

I thought about using ARTISTSORT, but apparently the behaviour on
multiple tags there is unpredictable (per the wiki).  Any luck there?

Any help appreciated.  Help on scrobbling my CD and FM listening would
be nice, but let's go a step at a time :)

 of getting into the TrackStat logic that changes rating.
 

I just released SaverSwitcher 1.14, which allows you to toggle the

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Sorting out last.fm tags

2007-03-04 Thread James

There's no way of changing the tags that SlimScrobbler uses to generate
submissions. (It seems like quite a good idea for the future though).

However you can set MusicBrainz tags on your tracks. If they exist they
will be submitted to LastFM and will override all other tags, so the
tracks should be recorded correctly.

Ok - this is now turning into a cool plugin!  Kudos to Michael for the
International version...

I've made one slight amendment to handle the concept of 'Override
Values'.  This covers values such as Midnight or Midday (in fact they
were the only ones I could think of for English). They can be declared
based on the number of hours and minutes, so it should be possible to
make some very specific overrides if necessary.

I've added German and Dutch translations for 'Midday' and 'Midnight' as
well, but these are from Babelfish so could be garbage! - perhaps
someone with the necessary Language skills could comment?

Yes, you need to configure a new title format that contains the text

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm plugin: Multiple problems on Firefox2 (and IE7)

2007-03-04 Thread James

The interface works fine for me in Firefox 2 - that's what I use all the
time. 

I just tried using the similar artists box while playing and I can
select, enter text and submit fine. Obviously some times it will happen
to refresh while you're trying to use it, but that's unavoidable if you
want automatic refreshes!

However, LastFM have disabled the search for multiple artist radio on
the request of an (unnamed) record company so it doesn't work as
expected any more - what you get back now is the first person listed as
being online!
I'll have to change this to standard similar artists radio next time I
do a release...
