Last.FM | Scrobbler support?

[plb]

I'd love to see this feature in VLC, anyone up for the task? =)

[The DJ]

There seem to be a couple of contributors on the vlc-devel mailinglist and the IRC channel that are working on this.

[plb]

Good news, after scrobbler gets in there....I can ditch my other players and use VLC exclusivley =)

[theFuzzyWarble]

Goood question.
I can't wait either.
I hated having to pull WMP out of the attic just to scrobble

keep up the great work guys!

[DGMurdockIII]

anymore word on if this is done

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Yes. in trunk.

[Royal]

I'm unable to find any Last.fm plug-in for the VLC player. Is there such a thing, or do I have to use WMP or Winamp?

[funman]

it is in the development 0.9.0 series (not yet released)

[Royal]

Alright. Great then.

[nscaccia]

Any news?

AFAIK It won't come to 0.8.6, 0.9.0 has it (Tools -> Preferences... and Interface -> Control interfaces -> Audioscrobbler for username and Interface -> Control interfaces to enable it).

Hi,

I've used the latest nightly build and I can't seem to find anywhere to enter a proxy config, so I can't get scrobbling to my last.fm profile.

Also, when entering the password, it is temporarily exposed.

It doesn't work in simple preferences ?

[VLC_help]

Where should it be in simple interface?

This is it.



This shouldn't happen IMO.

Also, when I enter my correct credentials I still do not get my tracks scrobbled. (Tested both with
and without a proxy).

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

ok.

[VLC_help]

I found it I just assumed there would be username and password lines directly, but I had to tick the box before they showed up.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

so you don't like the visibleOnEditAndAsterik other wise?

[Ux64]

It would be way cool, if it would also support Last.fm controls and not only scrobbling.

It's so easy to wish for more. Then I could get rid of my last.fm player on Windows & Linux.

Although on other hand, I also hate bloat ware and adding too many (unnecessary?) features.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

First, try the scrobbling, If you can assure me it works on a CLEAN VLC install from latest NB, then I will look at the controls.

Hi,
I would be very glad if vlc supported lastfm. I found the preferences to enter my lastfm login data. But how do I actually tune in? I tried all sorts of url fragments I took from lastfm website or Thelastripper trying to open a network stream but I can´t get a connection to the radio...
Thanks
Platon

Hi everybody here!
It doasn't seem to work with VLC 0.9.1. By the way, should I leave the last.fm player on to use scrobbling? I'd like to shut off it..
Thanks for fine work

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

It doesn't work on what version ?

VLC's Audioscrobbler plugin is completely separate to the Last.fm Client - it is not needed to scrobble.

It doesn't work on what version ?

Just tried it with a standard 128kbps MP3 file - the (correctly) given length was 2:46, however on submitting the output was:

Code: Select all

audioscrobbler debug: Song too short (< 30s), not submitting

EDIT: Just tried again and it started the submission however crashed:

Code: Select all

audioscrobbler debug: Handshake successfull :) audioscrobbler debug: Going to submit some data...

This is using VLC 0.9.2-test BTW .
END OF EDIT.
