Based on discussions with Peke, here's revised UI proposal:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last.fm DJ Options ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This Auto-DJ extension will automatically add Tracks to the Now Playing list based on which Artists are most similar to the last Track in the list, and on which Tracks are most popular. The recommendations come from the Last.fm music recommendation service. Track Recommendation Criteria: Artist Similarity: _60_ % Delay Tracks by Same Artist: _60_ minutes If Recommended track is unavailable, use alternate by same Artist: Track Rating: _>=_ _**___ [x] Allow unknown rating If no recommendation is available: Use backup Playlist: _Favorites..._______ [ ] Display warning [ ] Save logs [OK] [Cancel] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Progress Message Changes: -Scrobbler DJ: Querying Last.FM... --> Querying Last.fm... -Scrobbler DJ: Could not access Last.FM, check network connectivity or Last.FM web page status :-( .... ScrobblerDJ will add a track from the default playlist -->Last.fm DJ could not access Last.fm, check network connectivity or Last.fm web page status. Adding a track from the backup Playlist. -Scrobbler DJ: Could not locate artist on Last.FM :-( .... ScrobblerDJ added a track from the default playlist -->Last.fm DJ could not locate artist on Last.fm. Adding a track from the backup Playlist. -Scrobbler DJ: Unable to add tracks, even from your default playlist :-(... Seems like you don't have enough accesible tracks -->Last.fm DJ unable to add tracks...there aren't enough accessible tracks. -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 --> Last.fm DJ located the Artist Last.fm but no related Artists were found in your library or your settings are too restrictive. Adding a track from the backup Playlist. -Scrobbler DJ: Suggested Artist <" & iArtist & "> located in your Library but none of his top tracks did, perhaps your settings are too tight :-( .... Scrobbler added one of the Artist's tracks you own -->Last.fm DJ located the recommended Artist <" & iArtist & "> in your Library but none of the recommended tracks. Adding random track by <" & iArtist &">. NOTE: I don't understand the above error message. As far as I understand, there are no restrictions on Top tracks that are found in the library (the only possible restriction is Rating, however, you'd indicated that Rating Does_not_ apply to Top Tracks--and that it only applies to tracks that are chosen randomly after a matching artist is found). |

All updated. Created SVN Folder for scripts Latest MMIP sent to you |

You must firstly uninstal Older Script before install this one. |

Tested v 2.0.0.21 (from Petr) and as soon as I click the Configure button to set the Auto-DJ options, I receive the following error: Error Error #424 - Microsoft VBScript runtime error Object required: 'edt' File: "C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\LastFM_DJ.vbs",Line: 1110, Column: 4 Note: I tested both the build from Petr and Peke, and both exhibited the same issue. Also, I had uninstalled MM and manually deleted any plugins remaining in the plugins directory prior to installing the plugin. When the plugin failed, I tried uninstalling by deleting the plugin via the Extensions panel and completely deleting MM's ini file, and then re-installing, but the error persisted. |

There was small Typo in release I updated SVN |

Tested 2.0.0.22. A couple of additional minor changes should be made: 1) Too much text in the intro. Delete 'To get involved in this community, try downloading the MediaMonkey LastFM plugin.' 2) i) If rating of '*****' is chosen, then <= can't be selected (it's locked to >=, but it should be possible to select = or <=) ii) Rating 'None' should be changed to 'Unknown' iii) If rating of 'Any' or 'Unknown' is selected, the modifier should automatically be locked to '='. 3) The plugin behaves very badly if: i) the Auto-DJ is set to add > 1 track. e.g. by default, MM is set to add 5 tracks, however, with this default setting, the Auto-DJ often adds multiple identical tracks in a row. How can we fix this? ii) if the Auto-DJ selects a track that a user doesn't like, the user can click the 'next' button to skip the track, however, what typically happens then is that the auto-DJ adds that same track again. How can we fix this? 4) Please do a search of the source to ensure that the name is properly described as Last.fm DJ (I noticed a warning in which Scrobbler DJ still appeared). 5) Sent Elog re. error that was somehow triggered by the script. What happened was the Auto-DJ was generating recommendations from Last.fm and then just stopped doing so. I clicked Tools > Options, and the error occured. This should be resolved as well. |

1) Fixed 2) i) I have Unlocked Rating Condition to be changeable if ***** is selected Selecting >= will Act same as = as there is no way to disable just one option from Dropdown. ii) Fixed iii) Doesn't affect whatever is set to Rating Condition and it is ignored in Search that is why it is disabled. reason why this do not change in view is to have some sort of previous setting saved. 3) This is Bug Internally in Auto-DJ and Can be easily reproduced with every Auto-DJ script not just Last.fm DJ. This Needs to be handled in Separate BUG. 4) I searched complete "LastFM_DJ.vbs" and no "Scrobbler DJ" is found, but just in case I have deleted Commented Hints so that they do not make confusion. |

Verified most items in 2.0.0.23, except: 2.iii) This is still an issue--it's confusing for the UI to show '>= unknown' or '</ Any'. It should either show '=' for these cases, or the '=,>=,<=' dropdown should be greyed out for these cases. 6. After using the script some more, I've found that it sometimes adds 2 identical artists in a row (I'm guessing that this is because the second artist gets added before the first completes playing). 7. It sometimes even adds the same artist 3 times in a row even when it is configured to not do so for 60 minutes. This implies a different problem than item 6, since in this case, item 1 has already completed playing when item 3 is added. I'm moving item 3 to a separate bug. |

2) iii) I'll make it that way then Rating Condition will be changed according to Selection of Rating for the time being. >= is not grayed out du to Thene engine even [v] is grayed. Suggestions? 6) and 7) I'll see if it is some sort of related to Play counter and when MM write Last Played Value. 3) Agreed. Will follow up that Bug. |

Bug in Announce Thread is fixed in 2.0.0.24. Last.fm DJ now load Rating Conditions correctly |

As user in forum note it would be useful if we add one more option to Recommendations: [] Ignore Top Track Recommendation Option will ignore top tracks and will use Alternate from same artist. I think it adds some fun in Last.fm query and is certainly useful if you want to see if there is some other tracks from recommended artist you haven't heard and that is not Top Track. |

Auto-DJ Bugs: 1) Ratings config problems: a) I am unable to set the configure to "<=" or "=". When I change in the configure option it goes right back to ">=". FIXED? b) It's confusing for the UI to show '>= unknown' or '<= Any'. It should either show '=' for these cases, or the '=,>=,<=' dropdown should be greyed out for these cases. c) The ratings option is not exact (user indicated that Star ratings don't match correctly to the values used in the DB). I have not confirmed whether this is an issue. 2) "Delay Tracks by Same Artist" doesn't work at all sometimes. Script will add 2 identical artists in a row! e.g. I keep getting multiple recommendations of the same song. I.E. I play Orphans of Sickness from Gorguts, then it recommends: To Breath in A Casket - Necrophagist To Breath in A Casket - Necrophagist Shine of Consolation - Lykathea Aflame To Breath in A Casket - Necrophagist Shine of Consolation - Lykathea Aflame 3) Non-english users get a "default playlist doesn't exist" error because the playlist is hardcoded text. We should change the textbox to a dropdown control, and select the first playlist if the Top50 playlist doesn't exist. 4) .vbs-error when it says "last.fm query". The error message is "no correspondanse between types: CInt. File ... lastfm_DJ.vbs, line 540, column 8" 5) The 'Configure' Button blinks (changes between visible and invisible) reported on german version. I have not observed this and cannot reproduce. 6) Go into tools / options / autodj and click configure, even if I cancel out without doing anything, the autoDJ stops working. I cannot reproduce this, but noting it here in case you see a reason for this. Missing Features: 7) Ability to prevent same titled songs in succession. 8) Include (/Exclude) tracks from filter/playlist (e.g. year < 1990) 9) Ignore top recommendations Suggested UI appears below. Note that the UI implies some change in the logic of the plugin since 'Restrictions' are _always_ in effect. -Recommendation Criteria------------------------------------------ | Last.fm Artist Similarity: __ | Last.fm Track Rating: _Top-rated/any_ | | If Top-rated track is unavailable or unwanted use | Local Track Rating: _>=_ _***__ | [x] Include Unknown Rating | | [x] Only use tracks from _Playlist/Filter_^: _<Playlist>__^ ------------------------------------------------------------------- --If no recommendation is available-------------------------------- | Use backup Playlist: _____________________^ | [ ] Display warning | [ ] Save logs ------------------------------------------------------------------- --Restrictions----------------------------------------------------- | Delay Tracks by Same Artist: __ Min. | Delay Tracks with Same Title: __ Min. ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
