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?

S

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.

You’ll have to upgrade to nightlies. there are instructions at the wiki: http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org

You don’t actually need any extra feature for this on a Mac with iTunes, as iScrobbler will automatically do this for you. Least it is working for me. The windows version should also work I’d imagine.

What do you think is the best path here if you want last.fm-support from firefly? I mean, if I go for a script solution only to find out that next week it is coming with mt-daapd nightlies I’d probably regret it.

If you use iTunes as a client, the iTunes integrated last.fm is probably the deal.

Otherwise, I think investing the time in configuring external last.fm support is probably worth it. I keep having the scripting module getting pushed back and back…

Might be a while, I think.

Have you tried this. Its sits in your Windows tray and works with your LastFM client to scrobble what your SB is playing. Also has some basic control of you SB. Works pretty well
