@Jeroen it crashes a lot under win xbmc for me too...also it randomly stops queueing videos at some point. Not sure why. I was actually about to start ripping my hair out trying to find the bugs until I realized I couldn't replicate the behavior on the xbox, and just chalked it up to the win32 environment. Tags and Similar Artists do work for me though (at least as well as top artists). I haven't tested osx or linux ports. Anyone up for it?
@tikkiew: i changed my mind. the next version will have an editable black list so that you can list all the comedians and/or artists you don't won't to show up. you will actually have to add them manually in a text editor before uploading to your xbox, but this should work for you.
@Nicoli_K: yes it goes under video plugins. Make sure you use the second link I provided (http://www.box.net/shared/gxvfb0kgkg) It's on my xbox right now and is working fine... Does it at least show you the 3-4 options when you run the plugin? It should be your last.fm username, search by username, search by artist, and search by tag. If you're not getting any of that, please tell me what version xbmc you're using, whether you're on xbox or what and I'll try to figure it out.
I should mention there is no "error handling" for when no results are found, it just kind of sits there and does nothing. I'll fix this eventually.
So if you're doing top artists Nicoli_k it is possible that there just isn't enough data on your profile for this to work yet. Try the username rwparris2 or por, and see if that works.
This holds true for tags and artists too. Sometimes, there just isn't enough content to work. Also, the site can be really picky (e.g. "blacks keys" returns nothing but "the black keys" does)
