Browse for individual neighbours and group radio would be nice too (although I don't think there's a web service for a user's groups). -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

SlimServer leaves it as it was.

I did download an updated CDEx that claims to support MusicBrainz but so far not a single CD that I have bought has been found by it in MusicBrainz (I haven't researched hard to see where that problem lies - but I do get a lot of unusual CDs so I wasn't too surprised). -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://www.lastfm.com/user/BondJamesBond Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm/Scrobbler suggestion
Given that last.fm doesn't like tracks by an artist called "Various" ... and that some people (ok ... me) have CDs ripped that way with ID3 tags becuase that is how Freedb wanted them ... could Slimscrobbler take special action if the artist is "Various" or "Various Artists" and the track name has an occurrance of " / " and submit the calculated artist and title. e.g. Artist: Various Title: Uschi Bauer / Kuckucks Jodler gets submitted as Artist: Uschi Bauer Title: Kuckucks Jodler -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://www.lastfm.com/user/BondJamesBond Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm/Scrobbler suggestion
Yes, I realise that (I wouldn't really expect it to work in the plugin, I've made no allowances for URLs like that), but I wonder if LastFM will let the plugin (or anyone else) play individual tracks. Seems quite surprising given the restrictions that usually exist around this sort of thing... James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm/Scrobbler suggestion
A couple more ideas: * Ability to play individual tracks like lastfm://play/tracks/46937904 (if I paste a link, a random track plays, unrelated to copied link). * Use the 'Web Services' (http://www.audioscrobbler.net/data/webservices/) to pull down the list of friends to allow selection of friends radio by browsing rather than direct entry of the user name. -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Dynamic Playlist - Adds a mixer that shows dynamic playlists that take a album, artist, genre, year as parameter. When the user selects a playlist the selected album, artist, genre, year from the browse menu is automatically sent as parameter. Custom Skip - Adds a skip filter based on the selected album, artist, genre, year in the browse menu. I think I looked at the MusicMagic plugin when I implemented the above, but if you have any specific question just ask. Another solution is to use the Custom Browse plugin. In this case it means that the functionality will only be available in the browse menus implemented by the Custom Browse plugin. Custom Browse includes implementation of all standard SlimServer browse menus besides the Music Folder menu, plus a lot of other different browse menus. There are two ways to integrate with the Custom Browse plugin: 1. You can get menus accessible in same was as standard mixers by either: - Providing a function which takes three parameters: $client, $item, $addonly - Providing a "mode" which you like to enter when the mixer is launched. To get support in the web interface in this case, you also provide an url. 2. You can access the functionality by right clicking if you provide a "mode" which you like to enter when the user clicks the right button. But I think you want to use the mixer functionality described in point 1 instead, since it will make the functionality available in all menus not just a specific LastFM menu. Custom Browse also requires a xml configuration file. If you want to go the Custom Browse way there is more information available in the Custom Browse documentation on my wiki: http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Custom_Browse_plugin -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm/Scrobbler suggestion
Yes, I've seen the problem with the accented characters, but I don't understand why it occurs, as the same characters display correctly in the web interface. I guess you can link to lastfm via the library using a custom mixer link, but I've never looked at that bit of code - are there any plugins that do something like this already?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm/Scrobbler suggestion
Not sure if this has been suggestion before, but it would be great to be able to create some lastfm stations directly using the remote rather than the WebUI. While entering characters directly would be a bit of a pain, if there was some way to browse to an artist in your library (perhaps linked into erlands Custom Browse in some way) and then fire up similarartists radio. On another topic (and I'm sure that this has been mentioned before, but couldn't seem to find it again), when playing lastfm radio, accented characters don't display correctly on the squeezebox. Anyway, love the plugins. -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4388 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
