There is no "spoiler" tag on this forum, unfortunately.

As far as I can tell from the logfile, it could be an encoding issue with some of the artists. Not a lot else seems wrong. Try only with artists that do not have "foreign" characters in whilst testing, and try to play with some of the settings to avoid timeouts, etc.

I have been using SDJ for the past few days - it is great. Works a treat. Thanks for the people that created it.

Hi, thanks for helping!
Got a new error message.

I'm getting a lot of repeats as well with this + dressen's update with MM1129. I have not had these issues on 2.x. I'm thinking that it's either not correctly determining last played, or something with the artist match.

As an example, it actually got into a loop last evening where my now playing list looked like this:

....
Artist A Song A (via SDJ)
Artist B Song A (via SDJ)
Artist A Song A (via SDJ)
Artist B Song A (via SDJ)

It just went out and added the previous song, to the point where I was playing the same two songs over and over. I've seen a few previous posts with this type of issue. I would think it would be more widespread among others.

I'm going to look into this later - is there anything I need to do to turn on the log statements in the script? And where is does the log file reside?

Thanks

You either need to increase the timer for 'no same artist' or make sure your default playlist has a larger set of tracks.

Killjoy12 · Post by **Killjoy12** » Fri Jan 18, 2008 12:49 pm

I'm not sure that's it, as my default playlist has my entire collection, and the timeout is set to 120.

I don't remember that ever happening to me, but I've modified the script to allow much longer 'no same artist' timer (I keep mine at 5000 minutes)..

How large is your library? Obviously the smaller your library the less choices the script has to choose from..

You could also enable the debug logging (in the scrobbler dj option settings) and post a short log and see if any one can see what is happening...

About 2500 tracks.

I wanted to examine the log, so I'll try that. Like I said, I've used this with MM 2.x and never had this type of issue. Pretty much the same library.

After pulling the SQL from the script, I *think* I may have figured out what happened. Since it relies on a song having been "played", I think it may be related to my advancing to the next song before it has been logged as played. Not sure that's what I had been doing, but I wouldn't be surprised.

So - I'm going to be very careful and monitor this, but I think it's the infamous "user error"

Thanks for the help though.

I know this has been asked a few times, and I have read every page of this thread, but still cannot find a distinct answer.

The missing icon, could someone tell me what it should be called? I did see the suggested change to ScrobblerDJ.vbs, but can find no reference to icon / button in the MM3 fixed version.

Sorry to be so dim, but just can't find a reference to the missing icon to know what to create / call a new one.

Thanks

Actually, I looked at this recently, I don't remember if the installer includes the right icon or not any more.. I've long since made my own modifications to the script..

but anyway, I _should_ have the right icons and such, but still if I start MM with SDJ disabled the icon doesnt work.. but if you click it on, then off again, it works..

So, something is wrong in the code (or a bug in MM somewhere)... because obviously only the disabled icon is affected.. I've looked through the code and didnt see anything obvious, but still I am no expert.

Hey folks;

Just installed ScrobblerDJ today. Added a song to my Now Playing list and started playing it. In the MM taskbar was displayed "Scrobbler DJ: Querying Last.FM ...", then a dialog box appeared containing the following:

There was a problem querying the database:
Error executing SQL "SELECT Songs.IDArtist, Played.Playdate From (Songs INNER JOIN Played On Songs.ID = Played.IdSong) INNER JOIN Artists ON Songs.IDArtists = Artists.ID WHERE Artists.Artist Like 'Rupert Holmes' ORDER BY Played.PlayDate DESC" : no such column: Songs.IDArtist(1, 1)

And no, I wasn't playing a Rupert Holmes song at the time.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, here's the debug log:

You've installed the MM2 version of the script. Uninstall it and try to find the MM3 version in one of the later pages of this thread.

@PromisedPlanet: Don't uninstall it! Just update the vbs-file! You find the enw version some pages ago.

Hmmmm... This will be updated soon

But hush about it.
