Last.FM Scrobler plugin

[NRGman]

Any chance of allowing the user to set how much of a track is played before its submitted to Last.fm? like 80% or 1% etc?

thanks

Not possible as the scrobbler can only submit when the track has been marked as played in MM. So the wish would have to be that playcount in MM could be incremented after a percentage of track was played.

How hard would that be to do?

Well, that was requested many times, but not implemented yet.

[NRGman]

how would one make a little script to change it?

That cannot be scripted. It requires a change in the program.

After looking at the MM exe file in pe explorer, and i think the easiest mod to do would be to place this line:

Code: Select all

 00787C88  55005000440041005400+     		unicode	'UPDATE Songs SET PlayCounter=%d,LastTimePlayed=%.9f, TrackModified=%.9f, PlaybackPos = 0 WHERE Id=%d',0000h

directly after playback has been initiated, this would be the easiest option, just need to know where i would find the line that starts the playback of the file...

bump...

As I already said, this cannot be modified.

This was probably mentioned somewhere before but if you use the old winamp gen wa2 scrobbler plugin with MM you can scrobble as low as 50 percent instead of having to play the whole song. Then run the lastfm playcount importer every month or so to add those plays where you switched tracks earlier to update your database. The only downside for me as that it shows I'm listening to Winamp in LastFM instead of MM.

is the Last.FM scrobbling application not able to read the information being sent to last.fm from MediaMonkey? Is there a plugin for Last.FM yet for Media Monkey?

I did search a bit, and couldn't find anything about what I'm asking for. My goal: To have the Last.FM Application detecting what's being played, so it can show me artist info on the fly, like how it works with itunes and winamp.

Is there a way to set this up? Just trying to see if maybe I missed it in the search or if I should delve into last.fm apps, or media monkey scripts.

thanks for any leads, and sorry if this is the 27th request asking this. if so, please no b& =(

first post so cut me a break please. love the software, and this looks like a great community to get involved with developing for.

all the best!

I have been using that, but the Last.FM actual scrobbling application does not seem to be able to be plugged into MediaMonkey, so I can just have the window open on a dual screen, and quickly get artist details, etc - without having to goto the last.fm page. Just was wondering if there was anything else in development? Maybe it'd be better to ask in the Last.fm developer forums since it'd probably be developed on their side of things.

thanks for the quick reply though, and that plugin you pointed me to, definitely does scrobble, which is the major idea nailed.

Like I mentioned. If you use the old winamp plugin, the lastfm client will automatically show what you are listening to in MM, including tags, similar artist, bio, ability to mark tracks as loved and all the other stuff (plus the whole scrobble at %50 percent if you want). Worked with MM3 and still mostly works with the new alphas. I believe it's option #2 in the MM wiki about scrobbling.
