Thanks RJ, just what we needed :)

Shame I can't get it to work yet, but I'm sure thats at my end ;P. XMMS just opens the "Open Playlist" dialog when you click the link. I'm trying to get amaroK to work now... I'll post back in a few :D

BalSeraph

EDIT: Nope - amaroK gives

Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'lastfm'.

Guess I'll have to play with it a bit :D

Any KDE whizzes know what to do here?

Adding a protocol handler (eg: lastfm://) for firefox (works in win/mac/linux)

Type in "about:config" in the location bar
right click, select New --> String

name of string should be: "network.protocol-handler.app.lastfm"
value should be the path to your player executable, eg "~/Last.fm/player"

Information wants to be beer.

Ok, it works with the Player source code.

Yay I have Last.fm at home again :)

A big gratz to the staff - the hard work is paying off guys. I for one love the new site :D

hmmm

Tried it with the compiled player and the source code version, but am still gettting the "not a registered protocol" error. Using Firefox on XP.

Quoth mcyeager:

Same for me as well. Running the same OS and using the same browser. Will try at home (at office currently, patiently waiting on the lovely office version of the player tomorrow) and will update this post if anything changes.

Could it possibly be because I don't have admin priv's on this machine?

Edit: At home now, Windows version of LastFM player is working just fine.

Hmm,

Was straightforward for me. about:config to enter the location of the player, and then click on the link on my Profile page. Firefox popped up a warning, but only a sensible one about executables run from within webpages. Ok'ing that ran the player, and the stream started fine.

Where are you falling down guys - have you doubled checked the about:config entry?

Firefox doesn't seem to find the app. Maybe the string I enter is bad e.g.

C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\apps\Last.fm Player\player

I've tried ~ instead of C:... and tried adding .exe on the end, but firefox doesn't even seem to try to find it...

Hmm

Being a Linux user, my path doesn't have spaces in it. This is trivial, I know, but have you tried using quotes (") to protect the spaces?

"C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\apps\Last.fm Player\player"

Might be worth a try

Not that I'm a KDE whizz or anything, but to register a protocol handler you have to create a file like $KDEDIR/share/services/lastfm.protocol
with the following contents:

[Protocol]
exec=/path/to/player "%u"
protocol=lastfm
input=none
output=none
helper=true
listing=
reading=false
writing=false
makedir=false
deleting=false

I'll try that at work tomorrow - assuming I need to. If the stand-alone player is out, then I won't :P

Good News!

Screw the protocol problem...

-download the new version of the player
-open the tool icon and choose "enter station Address"
-drag the link you want from the browser in the the station address box.
- DELETE the last 2 words (e.g. neighbour radio)
- hit ok and ENJOY!

Have tried the "new string" bit.
Tired dragging the link into the "enter station address bit".
Still no luck :(

Any more ideas??

Using Firefox and XP

Cheers

Amarok wont work

You have to download and build the player that last.fm wrote. Then change the path you made to amarok point to the location of the player. In my case I made a shell script point to the player binary under a folder, since the binary needs to be able to find the images, etc. you can't just throw it into ~/bin.

It looks like museli is one of the developers of the player, so hopefully the ability to play last.fm streams will make it into amarok eventually.

Thanks heaps for the KDE protocol info - works perfectly in konqueror.
(At least it did once I realised I'd put the lastfm.protocol file in the wrong place - d'oh!)

amaroK

Well, I realise that :)

My point was to try and find a work-around for those of us who use Linux in the office, and don't have Qt4 installed there (which we don't - too new). I was trying to find a way to handle the stream in something else.

I guess it's just too complicated an issue to be resolved by such a simple trick - wait for a Linux binary I guess :)

Ah well, I'm not in the office til Monday now, so I can listen all weekend (Qt4 not a prob on my home boxes :D)

Yeah, I know :) Was just confirming, though, that it IS the correct way to add the protocol handler.

I did take a quick look at amarok scripting, but as I'm very much a NON-scripter, someone else is goingto have to write it ;)

You're right though, last.fm integration into amaroK would be awesome, and hopefully only a matter of time. If they managed to sneak podcast support into 1.3-beta3, then I'm sure it won't take long!

Re: compiling the player with Qt4

I haven't tried it, but you might be able to try statically linking in Qt 4 and then trying that on your work PC.

If I had access to my home pc atm I would try building it that way now, but I'm at work and it seems my IP has changed :-P

I worked on it a little Friday and Saturday. After rebuilding qt 4 or so times, I've kinda given up. It seems to work up until it tries to link in fontconfig, and it dies with a lot of undefined references. I don't really know why though. Qt itself seems fine. I guess we'll just have to wait for an official binary... sigh.

On a side note, static in the qmake file doesn't seem to do much at all, to try and get it to link I added -static to the line in the generated makefile on the LFLAGS line.

We should probably start a new thread for building the linux client though. We've gone pretty off topic.

EDIT: Oh, the binary is already out. Don't blame me I just bookmared this thread. :-)
