ScrobblerDJ v1.26, Let your music free!!!

Nice Guest · Post by **Nice Guest** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 4:10 am

First thanks to everyone's hard work.

I have tried over the last several months to get SDJ working without any luck. Over this time I have been able to fix some of the errors that others were getting, but I have yet to get SDJ completely working.

I always get the following error:
Scrobbler DJ: Artist located on last.fm but either none of its related artists were found in your library or your settings are too tight. A track from the default playlist was added

I have MM version 2.5.5.996, SDJ 1.26. 20,000 songs.

I do not have any other scripts. Shuffle is off. Auto DJ is off. SDJ is on. My default playlist are accessible files. I do not have a firewall (though I do have a router). Internet Explorer works through MM (album info seach). I am able to get a XML file from last.fm.

Below is code from the error report. I have all of the returned bands in my library. Your answer is appreciated.

Code: Select all

Your problem is obvious from the log file. You have "Include tracks with unknown rating" set to false. That basically means SDj will never play tracks you haven't rated. So, enabling that option will solve your problem.

Wow, this is an awesome addition to an already awesome piece of software. I have quite of lot of stuff I've never listened to - or that I listened a long time ago - that now gets to the surface

Thanks very very much!

This is cool! any way you can make it add an option for multiple suggestions? like how auto-DJ can add 10 tracks ahead... this is nice so you can review what's coming up and get rid of anything you don't fancy.

nice one!

emalvick · Post by **emalvick** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 5:36 pm

Here's a question that I am not sure could be done on my own or by anyone...

I've got an artist tagging scheme that limits the usefulness of this script, which I really like, and I am hoping there might be some suggestions for how I could tweak the script (if possible)...

When I tag artists, I typically tag them in the form:

"Last, First" or "Group, The" and a couple of other variants. This is a scheme I've used for years predating smarter media programs and as a result of having a mother that was a librarian. I don't want to change my organization, but this format makes this script fail to provide a track 70% of the time (the other 30% being for my artists that don't have "the" or a proper name (e.g. Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin).

I never thought about it until I noticed that it was Scrobbling to the same artists because the program was stating the other artists didn't exist in my library.

What I'd like is for a way to create a function that takes the artist returned from Last.fm and tries a few permutations of a potential name if the Last.fm name doesn't turn up in the library. i.e. if "Artist Name" isn't there try "Name, Artist" instead.

I am hoping something like a function might be added because it could be more portable for other scripts that have similar limitations (e.g. Monkey Rok).

This script seems to handle feeding the artists into Last.fm as artists in that format seem to return valid similar artists when I look at the log.

Anyway, any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

Thank you,

Erik

is this compatible with MM3?

Scimbris · Post by **Scimbris** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 7:47 pm

When I open up Mediamonkey, the shortcut button says "ScrobblerDJButton." After I click on it, it shows the little monkey icon, meaning it's on. When I click on it again, it shows the monkey with the x through it and I can't get the words back until I start Mediamonkey again. It works perfectly, the button thing is just a little annoying.

I like this script a lot. The only small problem I am having is that mediamonkey will freeze while it's getting the information from last.fm.

Billy · Post by **Billy** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 2:52 am

I have the same problem as, Scimbris, a few posts above. Every now and then after exiting media monkey for a while, the on/off button for ScrobblerDJ in the tool bar is replaced with text until you click it, where then it is replaced with the normal icons for the button as it does when you very first install the script.

I also notice when this happens the default values in the ScrobblerDJ settings reset themselves, except for the playlist choice, so I must change them back to what I prefer. It almost acts as tho I re-installed the script.

I suspect it may be related to Monkeyrok in some way, since both are accessing last.fm data simultaneously, perhaps? (in my case at least)
Ive seen Monkeyrok have some sort of error involving the ActiveX, and after the restart of MM some while later, ScrobblerDJ resets itself.

This has happened only twice, seemingly at random in the past week of me using this script nearly non-stop. Does not occur on nearly every exit of MM, or even when the power blinked out and rebooted my computer!

Everything else works perfect and I love the script!

I reported this problem back in May:

Vyper wrote: ... when I first start MM the Scrobbler On/Off button isn't showing, it says 'ScrobblerDJButton', or something like that. If I click that, the buttons show up and work properly.

What would be causing this?

trixmoto · Post by **trixmoto** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:57 am

I think it's not been answered because no one has an answer. I certainly cannot replicate this behaviour, nor can suggest why it would not work as the code looks correct (and in fact I copied it when I did my first toolbar button so many of my scripts use the same code now).

Vyper · Post by **Vyper** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 4:24 am

As I said earlier:

Vyper wrote:On my earlier problem with the button not showing up when I load - discovered that if I close MM from a previous session with Scrobbler on, everything works fine next time I fire up MM. But if I've closed it with Scrobbler off, then the button problem shows up.

At any rate, it's not a big deal.

Scimbris · Post by **Scimbris** » Fri Aug 10, 2007 4:16 pm

To Vyper and anyone else having the same problem as me (ScrobblerDJButton instead of icon):

You can fix this by adding the following line
ScrobblerDJButton.IconIndex = SDB.IniFile.IntValue("ScrobblerDJ","OffIconIndex")
between lines 25 and 26 of ScrobblerDJConfig.vbs, so it looks like this:

25 ScrobblerDJButton.Hint = "Fills Now playing with recomendations from Last.FM"
26 ScrobblerDJButton.IconIndex = SDB.IniFile.IntValue("ScrobblerDJ","OffIconIndex")
27 If SDB.IniFile.BoolValue("ScrobblerDJ","Enabled") Then

It's not a very good fix, but it works.
I know very little about scripting for MediaMonkey, but I do know that for some reason, SDB.IniFile.BoolValue("ScrobblerDJ","Disabled") is returning false. Therefore, FirstStart() is being executed every time you start MM.

One of you smart people may correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what it seems from my limited VBScript knowledge.
