As a long time user of this great script just wanted to say how excited I am by the new love it's getting.

Looking forward to the perfection-seeking tweaking that is to come Smile

Thanks guys!

Another question, is there any way to enable Hebrew search in the script?
I can find the artist in lastfm and get recommendations but the script can't find nothing.

Hi,
sorry for the re-post.
can it be done?
Last.fm is supporting Hebrew and other languages in search and recommendations. does the script can support other lang search?

Thanks again for a great script!

Can you post a log file showing what the addon is searching for?
I guess we need to add unicode support somewhere.

Hi,
Any news on Unicode support?
Can I do something locally on my machine?
Can I give you more details?
Thanks.


RE: [RELEASE] Last.FM Playlist Generator Script - Auto Generate Similar Music Playlists - ErlendSB - 2013-02-09

I'm having trouble with this one.
It seems to be working for me with artist names like: Røyksopp

One thing you could do is give me the url to the last.fm api.
Uncomment (remove the #) at line 110 in pm.py:
print Base_URL
When you restart the addon and start playing the same track, the log will contain something like: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?api_key=3ae834eee073c460a250ee08979184ec&method=track.getsimilar&limit=50&artist=R%C3%B8yksopp&track=Vision+One

I'm not sure, but the databases might handle these characters differently. I'm using mysql and I have not had any problems with nordic characters yet.

Let me know what the api url looks like, and also how you would spell out the artist name in plain text, and I'll do some more testing.

Hey,
i took the liberty to modify your addon to an standalone application that can
be called by xbmc.
It also includes full unicode support. So artists like Sigur Rós will not fail Wink
Thought you might find it usefull Wink

RE: [RELEASE] Last.FM Playlist Generator Script-Auto Generate Similar Music Playlists - ErlendSB - 2013-02-16

Wow! Great job!

LastFM-Populater eh Smile

I will definitely check this out. Hats off to you good Sir for cleaning up the code. This should be the base for a new version.
I'm curious about the socket communication. Is this a requirement for service addons?
There has been requests for turing this into a service addon, and to me this seems like it.
Am I right in guessing that skins can use your code to enable/disable the addon easily?

Anyway, well done!


[RELEASE] Last.FM Playlist Generator Script - Auto Generate Similar Music Playlists - jhnnsrs - 2013-02-16

I used sockets because this script runs outside of xbmc (i wanted this script to integrate with some sort of home automation i'm
currently developing).
In XBMC itself i have a small XBMC.player class that activates the script via a socket call everytime the song changes.


as an addonI guess, you would not need the sockets at all as well use XBMC.executeJSON instead of the JSON calls
Unfortunately i have no glue whatsoever how to develop addons in xbmc right now. so that will be your tasty piece of cake Tongue

one could also get rid of the re part by calling lastfm for JSON objects Wink

Hi,
I'v been very busy lately and couldn't get back to you on the Hebrew search issue.
i have checked the script with a friend and we managed to figure out the problem.
it seems that last.fm api cant query for tracks in hebrew, only artists.
we have add another loop to the script that checks for similar artists if similar tracks are return count=0:

Skiping songs - scrolling - 2013-05-27

I've been using this add-on for awhile now. Lately I've noticed that when I start up this add-on it'll play the first song than skip the next 4 or 5 songs. I'm not sure what's happening here. I'm using Frodo 12.2. Any help would be appreciated thanks


Last.FM Playlist Generator Script - Auto Generate Similar Music Playlists - salfab - 2013-06-23

I suggest you commit unzipped files on your github account, si I would then contribute in any way I can Smile

I would gladly add support for opt-in feature for the playlist generation to be album-based instead of track-based, for instance.

or even push the envelope further and use the recommended artists instead of similar artists, for instance.

anyway... I'd be glad to help, and then github would allow you to accept or reject my changes : your call Smile

EDIT: ooh ! I hadn't looked correctly : it *is* committed properly Tongue


Last.FM Playlist Generator Script - ErlendSB - 2013-06-23

Salfab: Brilliant! Feel free to contribute in any way you can.
I'm currently using spotify for music and not using this addon much myself, so if someone's willing to keep maintaing it, that's great!


[RELEASE] Last.FM Playlist Generator Script - Auto Generate Similar Music - olivine - 2013-07-03

I somehow cannot get this add-on to work on my set-up (installed from Mortstart's repo, on Frodo on linux). I followed the instructions I found: start script ("would you like to exit party mode?" [no]), start playing a track, but no new tracks ever show up in the playlist. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
