AudioScrobbler / last.fm support

[t0m]

ron,

in january 2005 you wrote

I’m definately going to add audioscrobbler support, because it’s just too damn cool.

I hope this is still on your roadmap….

shouldn’t be to hard to implement some code like http://www.frob.nl/scribble-download.html in dispatch.c under the /* update play counts */ section….

unfortunately I don’t have any programing skills – otherwise I’d have it implemented on my own….

yes, but I was going to put that in a separate plug-in.

I’m a new user to firefly… thank you for the great software 😀
I’m just wondering if and when you’ll add last.fm scrobbling support to make this the perfect media server.

Found a bash-script somewhere on this forum that did the trick for me. Well.. a bit of the trick. You need rockscrobbler too.

And will there be a non-tricky solution for last.fm, too?

Isnt that tricky…

You need:
– the script above
– rockscrobbler
– one cron job

It works like:
1. The script creates a logfile that rockscrobbler needs
2. Rockscrobbler posts the info to last.fm
3. The script runs every XX minutes (I run it every 20 minutes) with the cron-job.

Rockscrobbler can be found at http://www.misticriver.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=22288&pos=0

btw, the 2 lines in the script that starts with “$SQLITE $DAT”… and that ends with “…>> $OUTLOG” should be on the same line.

Just wondering if/when firefly will communicate with last.fm.

I’ve tried the script technique described in this thread but it doesn’t work for me. Probably because I don’t really know much/anything about making these sorts of scripts work in OS X.

It sure would be cool if last.fm support was somehow packaged with firefly.

Yes, I want it too, I’m just slow and lame. 🙂

I’ve started on the lua scripting stuff already, but it’s just taking longer than I hoped. I’m learning as go with the lua stuff. I hope to have some simple scripts in the the next couple nightlies, though.

Once that’s done, then I think the last.fm scripting stuff will be fairly easy.

Sounds good – thanks for the update. I’ll be looking for it – will you make some sort of announcement?

There is an rss feed at http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org. That will have notes when I’ve added it.

A few questions about the script:

1. My songs db is “songs.gdb”, not “songs3.db”. As long as I change the path in the script, will this matter? Are they two different db formats?

2. My slug doesn’t seem to have sqlite installed – any tips on installing it, or where to to find it if it is already installed?

Thanks!

songs3.db is sqlite3 format
songs.db is sqlite2 format
songs.gdb is another textbased(?) format.

the script was/is for sqlite databases only – sorry.

I’ve modified the rockscrobbler perl script by noleti so you actually only need one script.

this script supports compilations. You can download it from:

http://rapidshare.com/files/31760952/firescrobbler.zip

this is a sqlite3 version – for sqlite2 add use DBD::SQLite2;

I’ve been testing this script for two weeks now (cronjob running every 5 minutes) – its working fine for me.

Is there a way to change my installation (on an NSLU2) to use sqlite instead of gdb? There doesn’t seem to be an option in the cfg file.
