ErlendSB: Yep indeed, disabling Artist slideshow did the trick. Hopefully this bug gets fixed soon...

thx

Any news on ironing out this bug ErlendSB? Thanks

[ErlendSB]

Sadly no. I need help from the devs on this one, as I suspect xbmc core code has to be changed.
Maybe we do something to help. Like collecting some log data. I have tried without any luck as I get a complete freeze. But I´m sure it would help pinpoint the problem if we can supply some more info on what´s happening when the freeze occurs.

The bug ticket is filed here:

Cool...well good luck...hope it gets fixed soon...

Not sure if XBMC core needs to be changed...the only reason i say that is because the Artist Slideshow and actually streaming songs through last.fm as a XBMC music source play perfectly nicely together.

Thanks for your ongoing efforts!

Anyone having problems with the script lately? I'm getting "no similar track were found" errors with every song in the playlist.

[DarkHelmet]

Never mind. It's working again. Don't know what was wrong.

Just making my regular check-in to see if there's been any progress on the artist slideshow incompatibility bug?

Thanks

I haven't tried using these scripts together for a while, but I tried now, and it's been working fine for about an hour. No freezes or crashes. I'm using XBMC 11.0 compiled 21. Mar (windows), ArtistSlideshow 1.4.4 and PlaylistGeneratorPM 1.0.8

Are you still experiencing the freezes?

Hi -

Thanks for this - excellent addition to xbmc functionality

One problem I've encountered is SQL errors such as the following:


11:55:58 T:3004720880 ERROR: SQL: SQL error or missing database
Query: select strTitle, strArtist, strAlbum, strPath, strFileName, strThumb, iDuration from songview where strTitle LIKE '%Majesty ' '

Without looking at the code, I'm guessing that you might need to escape SQL-significant characters such as quote marks, brackets, etc, which may occur in song or artist titles.

Thanks again - keep up the good work

Hi erlendsb, could it be that in xbmc 12 (beta3) the plugin isn't functioning anymore?

[ErlendSB]

Yes, that's right. The HTTPApi that I use to query the music db has been removed.
This latest version will use jsonrpc instead and will probably only work in Frodo.

I'll eventually put it up on Mortstar's repository, but untill then you can download the latest version here:
http://lastfmplaylistgenerator.googlecod...-1.1.0.zip

[fryelectro]

Wow thanks Erlendsb for the fast response!! I'll test it tonight and let you know

[fryelectro]

Just to let you know: manually installing the zip file failed Then I unzipped the contents of the zip file in the directory of the previous version of the addon. Now everything works again thx

Hi Erlend, sorry for going off the radar for a couple of months.

I've updated the repo with version 1.1.0. I've got a pull request on Github for a fix in PM.py - do you want to take a look and let me know if it is needed?
