Just got it working through XMBC yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to totally play with it. Since I plan on using this over Pandora, my question is: does this include a "Play Station" button (like when you go to "Collection" on the Rdio app, or to an artist). I'm not a big fan of making playlists, so I'd much rather have the "Play Station" option, or some sort of auto playlist based on what you're playing....

@Felix, at present there's really nothing exactly like this in the XBMC plugin. I really like the idea though, and I'll definitely see what can be done for a future version of the plugin.

What I'm thinking would be cool is something that chooses the next song to play automatically by looking at "similar artists" of the song you're listening to, choosing one, then playing one of that artist's "top tracks". Repeat this and then you've got something similar to Pandora, in that it will play a whole bunch of random, similar songs based on a "seed" song.

felixxx999 · 2012-10-26, 15:07

Exactly! Use something like the Mediamonkey does with Last.fm autoplaylists....

That would be fantastic. I don't like mucking around with music ON THE XBMC. I want to start music and let it go... not have to click around....

anyway, great plug in.

Playing with it last night I thought a SHUFFLE option for playing a playlist would be nice as well...

I'm a heavy user of Rdio and just set this up. Awesome, awesome work. There's nothing I'd want to change in it, you wrote it perfectly. Thanks so much!

Not at home right now so can't check, but can't you do this using XBMC's standard shuffle option?

@TheDuffMan - thanks very much! Smile

DuMbGuM · 2012-11-07, 02:23

Just wanted to add my thanks, the plugin is fantastic, keep going!

I'm excited to announce release 1.6.0 of this plugin. This release adds one feature only (but it's a good one!), as suggested by felixxx999 - artist radio stations.

Artist radio stations are played from the "artist" menu, and will play a mixture of randomly selected songs from that artist and from other artists related to that artist. The next song to play is determined as follows:

First song is always one of the top 20 "top tracks" from the "base" artist
Next song is chosen by fetching the top 10 "related artists" of the artist of the song that just played, choosing one at random, and then choosing a random song from the top 10 tracks of that related artist
Approximately every 1 in 5 tracks will return again to the "base" artist and the process repeats

There is no repeat detection yet so you may occasionally get the same song played more than once (hopefully not too often though).

I'd like to hear your feedback on this feature, especially the algorithm for choosing the next song. I'll implement the same idea but for songs in your collection some time in the not too distant future.

Enjoy!

Hey a, great add-on...looks like it may be my top one for xbmc but I'm wondering there is any control from the various remote apps?

Thanks to the devs(ampedandwired)for a great addition to xbmc!

felixxx999 · 2012-11-12, 00:12

Testing it now. Say goodbye to Pandora! Shuffle for playlists works great too

ampedandwired · 2012-11-12, 00:37

@StealthyMonk - there's nothing specifically coded into this plugin to support remote control apps. I don't use any remote control apps myself but my guess is that you'll be able to use the remote app's "standard remote mode" just fine with the plugin, but I doubt if any "library browsing" capabilities of the remote app will work with the Rdio plugin.

Nice idea though, will see if this is possible.

StealthyMonk · 2012-11-12, 14:33

Thanks for reply a&w! I guess I wasnt very specific but your answer covered it nonetheless. I was referring to the library browsing side of things-I have my pc downstairs as a music server and rdio access from upstairs is my last piece of the puzzle. Thanks again for the reply/add-on!

Looks like it might be a problem with connectivity to Rdio. Can the XBMC box can connect to the internet OK?

dallasnights · 2012-11-17, 18:28

checked internet all is fine
Last night installed Beta 1 of Frodo for ATV2
still will not work see below, hope you can fix
