Last.Fm scrobbling support

[sG4RYt]

Guys, I need help installing this thing

I downloaded the zip file and opened it with winrar, extracted the .jar file. There was no "plugin" folder in my PS3MediaServer file so I created one and dropped the .jar file there. Nothing changed. What am I doing wrong? What do I have to do for it to work? Thanks in advance.

On my install the "plugins" folder was created automatically (I think). Try changing the name of your folder from "plugin" to "plugins", and restart the ps3ms. Dropping the scrobbler .jar file into the "plugins" directory is all you should need to do to enable it.

If the .jar file is being loaded by ps3ms, the "General Configuration" tab should now have a button under the Plugin header named "Last.fm scrobbler plugin for ps3mediaserver" that will allow you to set your last.fm username and password. Configuring your last.fm username and password should put the following lines in your ps3.conf file:

lastfm.scrobbler.user = <username>
lastfm.scrobbler.password = <password>

If that doesn't happen by using the configuration button, you can try putting the above lines directly in the ps3.conf file, which I believe is what I had to do. For me, the ps3ms server logs are showing that login is happening - but for some reason the actual scrobble calls do not seem to work.

Thank-you for working on PS3MS last.fm scrobbling support. I have wanted this for a while and this almost works perfect for me.

Plugin installs fine and after entering sign in info in plugin options and rebooting PS3MS I get handshakes with last FM. "listening Now" displays on Last.fm profile correctly but for each single playthrough of a song it submits on average 3 - 6 plays to last.fm. I found it submits a play count of 1 to last.fm for each minute played of track through PS3MS. Resulting in very skewed stats.

Any known solution to this behavior?

Just wanted to report that I am also seeing this behavior, though it seems inconsistent. Sometimes I will see 2-3 scrobbles for one song, sometimes it works fine and I only get 1.

Anyone tried getting it work with latest beta 1.20.409?
No chance to run it on my pc...

I have tried ... it definitely sends some info to Last.fm but evidently not correctly.
When I play some track I can see this track on my Last.fm profile with 'Listening now' text.
But when the track ends, it disappears from Last.fm.

Could anyone clarify to me if the plugin has to send some info after the end of the track? If so this could be the source of incorrect functionality...
Any sign of developement or fix attempt would be nice

Hi,

i have some problem using the lastfm plugin in my PMS.
i have the last version of both pms and plugin. i unzipped the .jar in the plugins folder.

then i start my pms. in the trace window, everything start correctly, but the only thing about lastfm is :
[main] TRACE 03:47:42.185 Detected plugin net.pms.external.LastFMScrobbler

that's all.
even if i write mon login/pwd in the general configuration tab, to log into my lastfm account... no trace a activity of the plugin...
and if y listen to songs from my ps3, nothing appears on my lastfm page... not even "now listening".
i don't really understand what could cause this problem, so if anybody could help me on this way...

thanks for everything you developped anyway.

bye
