Last.fm/Audioscrobbler Plugin

[dypsis]

Does Winamp have a Last.fm/Audioscrobbler Plugin?

I did a search of the plugins, but it returned nothing.

[Kaminari]

Surprise:

code:
http://last.fm/download/

[dypsis]

I am only interested in a standalone plugin like some other players that I use have.

[DrO]

http://nunzioweb.com/daz/AudioScrobb...oscrobbler.dll (though is provided as is with no support)

-daz

[dypsis]

Thanks DrO. Brilliant work. It is exactly what I am looking for.

And it is working well for me. Even better than some of the other players plugins that I use.
I thought there would be more requests for this.

BTW. I didn't notice it displayed on your site.

[DrO]

it's an unofficial modification though it's been posted around the net a fair bit from what i've seen (even had someone do a blog post about it in the thread referenced) but was mainly for my own use so doesn't fall under the normal notification on my release pages

So is this mod going to become official? It should do. I love it.

[DrO]

no idea since they're still pushing the 1.1.10 old version on their site despite the tweaked 1.1.11 i did being referenced and now with that newer tweak plus if they're services, etc are meant to be changing there's no point until a newly rebuilt/updated plugin is made (which i doubt i'm ever going to personally do now)

-daz

[Kaminari]

And remember the standalone plugin is not Unicode compliant.

[samthepeach]

ah... Thanx for that one DrO.

[dypsis]

After a few days of testing, I can say that it is going great here.

Keep up the great work DrO. I hope to see continued development of this, when required.

Whatever I do, I can't get this to work. Quite a few people over at last.fm seem to have issues as well. I've just done a clean install, wiping any reference to Winamp or Audioscrobbler or Last.fm from my hard drive (registry included). Clean install of Winamp, no other plugins, no other skins, and have not played with the AS settings except for putting my username and password in. I have no proxy or firewall.

It works with the Last.fm software and their plugin, but I really don't want to be running an extra process just in order to scrobble what I play. Could this be anything related to 5.54? Or is it just one of those "it works for some people and if not for you, tough" things?

[gaekwad2]

It does work for me (with 5.54, see the spam buttons), are you perhaps using Vista?

[Wolfgang]

Nay, simply plain old XP SP2. Damnit. I'd be happier if I knew what it is, but since it's a mystery it's very annoying.

BTW, what's that Windows theme you're using?

[gaekwad2]

XPMC (afaik he never formally finished it, it's complete as it is though)

I've got SP3, but the older version at least worked with SP2 (and older Winamp of course) as well.

One thing though, the older one could also be run as library plugin, iirc it only had to be renamed to ml_audioscrobbler.dll, which supposedly had some advantages.
No idea whether that would do the trick (or even work at all) here.

Do you have "Enable Plugin" selected under Preferences?

For the record. I have it running on Vista SP1 without a problem.

And I agree with you about running another process just to scrobble. This is the best option IMO.

[Wolfgang]

Thanks, it's brilliant.

Just tried that and it doesn't seem to be working, unfortunately. Shitloads of errors in the log file:

167.090 07/20/2008 23:05:52 CScrobbler::SubmitSong Cannot send - Handshake didn't complete

297.858 07/20/2008 23:08:03 CScrobbler::ThreadCallback ERROR - ReqID 2, Last response from the server was unreadable ()

Thanks for your help, gaek.

I've noticed something a bit odd: when I put in my last.fm password, then save and open the config window up again, the number of dot characters is longer than the number of characters in my password. Pretty weird.

Maybe Daz will see this and kindly throw some of his magic at it, if it's fixable and it's not just something stinking in my computer.

[Alkaloid]

I am trying to get DrO's Last.fm Audioscrobbler plug-in (v. 1.1.11) to read tags from AAC format streams originating from DI.fm.

The plug-in config screen says Playback State: Playing (Invalid - Cannot read file tag) [-1]

Any idea why? Think it's the plug-in? Or is the tags/streams at DI.fm Can the plug-in access AAC format tags?

Winamp picks up the file info just fine, so I would think it would be able to convey the data to the plug-in, or the plug-in could get the info from Winamp, or however it all works.

[dypsis]

This is still working great for me.

Keep up the great work DrO.

[MALditoNica]

audioscrobbler was working well in my winxp sp2 + winamp 5.x
Updated to sp3, and I noticed winamp crashing everytime the plugin tried to "call home".

[drugo]

me too

i can't use the audioscrobbler with winamp

xp with sp3

[QOAL]

Use the official one from here.

The media library one works perfectly fine for me on XP SP3.

but i have to download the Last.fm client?
i don't like it
i mean i don't want the client
i would like only the plug to send my music to last.fm

[DrO]

this is the only standalone version that appears to work with newer winamp versions though i've not used it for a while so i've no idea how it works with 5.541 (and i've not checked the last.fm forums for an age to see what/if other issues have been reported about it other than it doesn't support unicode submissions unlike the offical plugin as i've not had the time *shrugs* )

by the way when i run the client i found compatible player only wmp11 not winamp
i need to add wianmp manually

and don't know why , but crashes my winamp
now i have disabled renaming the file to old
it's sad that i can't use last.fm with winamp

[DrO]

but crashes my winamp

that's not very helpful at all since when it crashes there should be information provided about it etc.

the last.fm client has been known to have issues if you have winamp in a non-standard location but should work once done manually. but if neither are working then you've more than likely got issues with your winamp install and should do a clean install and go from there. other than that, last.fm client issues need to be reported to them and issues with the plugin i linked to may be rectified if/when i find the time to do so.

seems that is audioscrobber to crash winamp
i uninstalled the plugins and winamp did not crash

i tried all kind of plugins the gen_audioscrobbler.dll 1.9 and 1.9 ml_audioscrobbler.dll


it's a shame , winamp the best player has such issues
i tried foobar and windwos media player 11 no problem
only winamp goes crash with the plugin


is there someone that can fix it?

to me gives me this generic error before crash

Fix what?

The Last.fm software (core client 1.5, winamp plugin 2.1) has been working perfectly with Winamp 5.54 and WinXP SP3 for months.

[Zero2FiftyIn4]

you said you are using 1.9 dll....the link Dr.O gave you has the number 1.1.11 or something.

I'm not sure but I don't think you are following the advice/instructions correctly.

I believe the audioscobbler plugin you get from the last.fm site is 1.1.10, however that causes various problems for winamp. So you have to download the 1.1.11 dll file Dr.O linked you to. You take that file and open the plugin folder and put it there it will ask you if you want to replace the old file...click yes, all your problems should be solved.

[Wolfgang]

I've had issues with the AS plugin, even DrO's, which worked with me for a while. I've gone back to previous versions on Winamp and fiddled with loads of stuff, to no avail. I dislike the idea of running separate software constantly just to be able to scrobble my songs, so I don't use the Last.fm software.

I now use AWAAS, which is a script to run with the brilliant ActiveWinamp plugin. It works very well.

[ClintJCL2]

For you, perhaps. For me, it simply made Winamp crash at start until I found the AAAWS folder and ran the uninstall.

Nevermind that I've been scrobbling, without incident, for some 9 yeras, before the site was even called last.fm!

Stuff stopped working Jan 19ts -- and now it wont start again. Period. Regardless of unistalling and reinstalling.

Just wanted to say this is working great for me on Windows 7 Beta with Winamp v5.55

I'm so glad I don't have to run their damn application just to scrobble my songs.

Thanks alot mate!

Any update on the new version that'll support unicode? As Dr.O posted on last.fm:

I've got a bit more testing to do on it but i believe i've now resolved the unicode issues so there will hopefully be a new version of my modified build out in a month or so (real life permitting).

And that was in January. (Yeah, yeah, I know. "real life permitting")

[livettt]

hey guys,
i've got a little problem with scrobbling tracks from my ipod nano (4g) via ml_ipod/audioscrobbler (latest version) to last.fm and it would be great if someone could help me

after i sync my ipod with winamp the tracks i listened aren't scrobbled to last.fm. but when i look at the audioscrobbler plug-in all the tracks are listed at "last scrobbled tracks". however in the log file of the audioscrobbler they aren't. any ideas?
when i listen to tracks from my media library scrobbling works perfectly.

thanks in advance and pleeeaase help me

greets
livet

What protocol does this plugin follow? 1.1 or 1.2?

[DrO]

the standalone plugin is the 1.1 spec from what i remember though never checked out the newer spec as the standalone is too hard coded for the earlier spec.

-daz

are there plans to go to 1.2 at all?

[DrO]

at the moment no as i've not looked into it and don't know what is involved - the current work i've been trying to do is to make the AS plug-in more like a 5.x style plug-in so moving the preferences into a proper location, resolving the issues with DEP crashes it experiences and just overall stripping the code to a minimum so that it hopefully should be easier (if i decide to do it) to implement new protocol handlers. however, getting the plug-in to not crash randomly as my build currently does is holding back any release of an updated unicode version of the plug-in (and not being able to do much coding this week doesn't help).
