Audio streamed via a playlist is not scrobbled.

Here is some additional information about .m3u and .pls play lists. 

http://www.assistanttools.com/articles/m3u_playlist_format.shtml
http://www.assistanttools.com/articles/pls_playlist_format.shtml

While there is no spec for how the media title should be formatted in an 
extended
format .m3u or a .pls the accepted convention appears to be 'Artist - Track 
Title'
for both play list formats, my testing with various tools bears this out. For 
example...

.M3U Format

#EXTINF:199,Pink Floyd - In The Flesh
R:\Music\Pink Floyd\1979---The_Wall_CD1\1.In_The_Flesh.mp3

.PLS Format

File1=R:\Music\Pink Floyd\1979---The_Wall_CD1\1.In_The_Flesh.mp3
Title1=Pink Floyd - In The Flesh
Length1=199

The problem at the moment is not parsing the playlist but knowing when which 
item in
the playlist gets played.

Thanks for the info though :-)

Not sure where to post the problem. Sorry, if this is not a right area:

Get the release of lastfmlib-0.1.3 into ubuntu 8.04 environment (with updated 
libcurl - ver 7.18.0-1ubuntu2). 
- Able to do "autoreconf -i --force" sucessfully
- Able to do "./configure" sucessfully
- Fail in "make install", generate err:
:
        then mv -f ".deps/liblastfm_la-urlclient.Tpo" ".deps/liblastfm_la-
urlclient.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/liblastfm_la-urlclient.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
./libtool: line 841: X--tag=CXX: command not found
./libtool: line 874: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found
./libtool: line 841: X--mode=compile: command not found
:

Anybody know why the error? thanks.

try a reinstall / upgrade / downgrade of libtool

In any case it's a libtool issue

Thanks. I will try to look in that direction. I have several questions about 
this 
lib:
- Does it support music streaming (from lastFM)?
- Is there any document about this lib?

thanks

Currently the API only support scrobbling tracks.
I have added a link to the documentation on the home page.

This page is probably the most interesting one:
http://lastfmlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/html/classLastFmScrobbler.html

Hi Dirk,

Any update on this feature request?

Hello,

No updates on playlist support, I posted a question to the developers about 
this on
the mediatomb forum, but didn't receive a response. I think the developers are 
busy
at the moment since latest svn activity is 3 months ago.

Regards,
Dirk

Hi,

It looks like the Mediatomb developers are active again :-) Any chance you 
could quiz
them about how to hook into playlist playback?

Thanks in advance.
