Hi,

correct me if i’m wrong (I just jumped on the matter), the point here is to submit the played tracks to audioscrobbler, in order to update own profile. But playing the actual custom radio stream is not the goal or..?

Correct, this thread deals mostly with updating profile info.

Because I stumbled on a blog post of someone explaining how to get a session from last.fm and recover a playable shoutcast stream. Here is the link:

http://gabistapler.de/blog/index.php?/archives/268-Play-last.fm-streams-without-the-player.html

With some server side scripting might be possible to be logged automatically and get the radio channel playing. Metadata is missing in the stream but can still be requested via http.

Am I saying obvious stuff? 😕 😉

Thanks,

Ste

To make that all go on firefly needs a better scripting system built-in. I hope to do something like that at some point, but it’s not there yet.
