RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Last.fm plugin ?
I'm glad it's working! I had a bit of trouble actually testing it so I couldn't be sure. I'm surprised you could get the personal station, the plugin is actually adding /neighbours on the station names behind the scenes. (I will fix this properly shortly so that the option of personal is available if you're a subscriber.) You should be able to select pretty much any station - if you find one that doesn't work let me know. James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

Hmmm. Puzzling. I know it's working because I fixed my Softsqueeze last night and spent some time listening. Did you download right after I said it was ready? (Because I fixed a crashing bug right afterwards, but can't remember what the cause was.) Is there any debug output when you change the station - there should be some more messages then? And where did the tinyurl.com come from? Of course it might be because you're a subscriber - I never actually tested that bit. I'll hard-code mine on and see what happens...

Dan, This is normal. If you close the cmd window, you kill SlimServer! Why not put a shortcut to slim.exe in your startup folder, along with a shortcut to the SlimServer home page? That way it & the web page will start automatically when your PC does. If you don't like the cmd tool window hanging around (this seems to be a common complaint) then there are tools you can use to hide it.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Last.FM plugin
OK, let me explain how the plugin works. Settings (login details, favourite stations etc) appear under 'Internet Radio' in Server Settings in the web UI on 6.2, and under plugin settings on earlier versions. Stations etc can be controlled from 2 places; On the player, you should find a LastFM entry under the Internet Radio menu. There's a 'LastFM' link under internet radio in the web UI. The plugin keeps track of LastFM status for each player. When you go to either the LastFM page in the web interface or the player, what you will see depends on what the plugin consideres the status is: If LastFM is not playing you'll just see the link to start playback or the message 'press play to start'. (The plugin will consider LastFM to not be playing if the player is stoppe,off or if LastFM says you're not connected) If LastFM is playing you'll see the expanded information on what station & track is playing, and have the option to change stations. When you start LastFM for the first time, it can take up to a minute for LastFM to confirm the connection, so the state change is not immediate. If starting the LastFM playback doesn't appear to be doing anything please enable the d_plugins debug option and have a look in the server log (http://yourserver:9000/log.txt) for any messages starting "LastFM" - all the interaction with the LastFM servers will be logged here.

Ceejay, I've never seen this before, so this is good progress! If you're using the latest version of the plugin, the session id is allocated the first time you connect to LastFM with each player. (Older versions stored only one session and may have problems with multiple players) As far as I know the session remains valid indefinitely - have you had slimserver running for a long time? I will add some code to the plugin to get a new session ID/invalidate the current one when it gets this response.

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Last.FM plugin
Terrible problems with my pc last night & this morning but I managed to post version 0.8.3 on my website in the end. Fixes include: * Crash from web page with no player * correct generation of station list * disable repeat scroll in main menu * use play and/or right to navigate & select in station menu * indicate command response status on the player display Notes: * The "password" that appears in the web interface is the encrypted version, hence the different length. * I noticed LastFM was up and down a bit yesterday. * I have observed a problem when streaming stops working with a 'log in again' response from LastFM. Unfortunately as this response is passed to SlimServer in the music stream the plugin can't see it. I am thinking about this one. Will probably change the code to re-login each time the settings are changed. Anyone having problems please enable debug options d_plugins and d_remotestream and check the log for errors.

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Last.FM plugin
Ok here's some responses for the last couple of messages: 1) I wasn't expecting streaming to work on 2 devices at the same time. >From LastFM's point of view, you're requesting 2 streams from the same IP address (the SlimServer) and the same username so I guess they cut off the original one when the next one starts. The only way I can see around that is to have a different account for each player. (Not currently possible in the plugin). Even then it might not work because of the shared IP address. 2) When you Listen to LastFM, they log the tracks at their server. When you listen to another internet radio station, the plays are logged by the Slimscrobbler plugin of your SlimServer. However Slimscrobbler ignores radio streams because the LastFM rules say to do so! 3) The custom IR map. This would be tricky at present, as all the functions in the plugin are generic. I'm guessing you're asking because the screensaver is jumping out of the LastFM mode all the time... If so, two easier options here, use the 'jump back' screensaver, or I can add an option to disable the screensaver while in the LastFM menu? 4) ceejay's web page/player issue - I can't recreate this. The web page being active shouldn't be an issue. The setting of connection status, track details etc is actually done by a timer, which is started by either the web page or the player menu, depending on which you start first. If the stream is known to be active, the full set of options should appear in both. That's not to say there isn't a problem there, I'm just not sure what it might be. Or it could just be a bogus response from LastFM. 5) jump back to wrong menu - I have noticed this once but cannot reproduce it! 6) At the moment the track info is updated every 60 seconds, 30 seconds on the first attempt after connecting. Player display is updated immediately, the web page is refreshed every 120 seconds. I have a new version that A) refreshes the track data 10 seconds after a command is sent successfully (I tried 5 and that was too quick) B) dynamically sets the web page refresh time based on how long it is until the next scheduled update.

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Last.FM plugin
Replying to ceejay and rme's issues with track info updates, we really need to see the "d_plugins" log from this to see what's happening. If you needed to start the music again by pressing play (anywhere) then LastFM cut you off. If the music continues and the plugin eventually recovers itself, it's most likely this is LastFM temporarily giving incorrect status reports. (you may see LastFM: streaming = FALSE in the log) If the music continued and the plugin didn't recover then there is a bug somewhere! (most likely the timer got unset, so you'd no longer see the 'LastFM: Setting timer for...' message in the log') The background timer is only started the first time the plugin is activated for each player (whether from the web page or menu) and at present there's no way to restart it.

So you're not being ignored, but this error is passed to the SlimServer audio streaming code, and the LastFM plugin has no way of knowing it's happened. And at present there's no way to force the required login anyway! The timer looks fine, it's easier to keep it running forever than try starting and stopping it. It won't actually do any work unless the player is on and playing the LastFM stream. So I will let you know when I have a solution for this...

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: LastFM Internet Radio Pluginv1.1
Yes, I do agree. As you saw my original intention was to put the discovery setting under 'record to profile' in the command section. Then I found out that changing discovery mode works the same as changing stations behind the scenes so I would have ended up writing loads of redundant code! Now it's working I can look to move it in the UI. I think this will be very easy in the web page but more tricky in the player. One thought, does anyone think that stations played through the 'text box' in the web page should automatically be added to the station list?

I suspect this is happening after a rescan, and the playlist's database id has changed. When you change the settings the menu items are removed and re-added with the correct ids.

There are no strings for the setting names as the number of settings is configurable and hence I'd have to either include the whole alphabet or create them dynamically...one for the next version.

Hi Cameron, Firstly, I haven't done any testing on 6.5 beyond checking that the plugin starts (which it does). Although the behaviour you describe sounds quite promising. Now, you don't say what OS you're on so I will guess XP: I'm wondering if the problem is that you're running SlimServer as a service (the default configuration)? If so, you'll need to change to running slim.exe directly (there are instructions in the readme file of the plugin) or not use the direct update mode of the plugin.

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iTunes Update 1.5.1 on OS X
Allan, I'm not entirely surprised about this. I don't entirely understand how the web interface templates are supposed to work, and the template that comes with the plugin is written for the default skin. When you returned to Fishbone from default, your web browser had probably cached the images so they displayed correctly. I'd like to sort this out but will probably wait until 6.5 is ready as the skins are changing there. BTW, does the 'last played' date display correctly in the web interface for you?

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: How to Change LastFM Station?
Hi there, Seems to me there are 2 problems: 1) the web interface not working correctly. When you enter a station name in the empty box and hit the add button, it should be added to the list of stations in the list below. (duplicates are ignored) From your description this is not working? 2) When you press the play button, we request LastFM to change to that station. From the log file you posted LastFM does not want to change station (the reponse=FAILED). It looks to me like the station in your example has been saved incorrectly as the request is for "Lastfm://http://www.last.fm/music/Etta James" This is wrong - it shouldn't have the http://www.last.fm in there. If you save the station that part should be removed automatically, but I see this seems not to be working in some cases - I think you've found a bug here! I will try and fix this. In the meantime, if you want to get the stations working, all that you need to put in the station box is for example: Music/Etta James James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: lastfm+winamp
If you go into your SlimServer installation, then Plugins/LastFM/HTML you'll see the skin subdirectories. The 'EN' template provided is actually based on the Default skin, so I know it looks terrible in most of the other skins! So, create a copy of the 'EN' directory called 'Handheld', and then edit the file Handheld/index.html to determine what the page looks like in Handheld. It's quite easy as any changes you save will be reflected next time the page is refreshed. I'm holding off on making changes at the moment because the skins are all being redone for 6.5 and in theory it will be easier to create a common template that works everywhere...

It is, of course, LastFM's problem! Although you shouldn't lose the personal station when it happens, and it's even stranger that you keep the 'loved' station. Should both stay or go. I shall see if anything's wrong there. James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Install questions on iTunesupdate plugin onTiger 10.4.5
Govardha, Where did you install the iTunesUpdate plugin? The impression I get is that OSX plugins have to be installed in a different directory /Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/Plugins Rather than ~Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server/Plugins ?

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: More Last.FM problems
It's quite puzzling, but not having a Mac, I have no idea what's going on. Anyone that's it's not working for, the output from starting SlimServer with the 'd_plugins' debugging enabled might be useful. James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Question on iTunesupdate and SB 3 Device
If iTunesUpdate isn't working properly (can't access iTunes) it can have symptoms like this. Do you see any errors from the plugin in the log?

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: custom action for add.hold not working
Did you get anywhere with this Phil? 'playlist' appears to be the correct mode name from Slim::Buttons::Playlist.pm In my plugins where I've added key mappings I have not used a specific mode. The whole key mapping area is quite frustrating, I spent some time last week trying to map some keys for the LastFM plugin and I could not get what I wanted from it (hold event without a single event) on some keys but could on others.

RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom IR maps - available function/menuitems list
Hi Tim, I was expecting someone else to reply but no-one has so I'll tell you what I know... The documentation is within SlimServer, in the web interface select Technical Documentation then Button Mapping This covers the holding time length question. I think to add commands for a specific plugin you add a section [Plugin.] The plugin name is, I think, by default the name of the Perl module the plugin lives in. For example Random Mix would be [PLUGIN.RandomPlay::Plugin] I don't think the documentation is great ( the "More to come..." at the end of the page has been there as long as I can remember)and this is not discussed on the wiki at all. Perhaps a good topic to add, and everyone can contribute their favourite custom IR map commands? James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

I don't use AlienBBC but I don't see any fancy use of setMode in their plugin so I think that the mode is [PLUGIN.Alien::Plugin] James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
