TwonkyVision & last.fm
Ich beabsichtige, mir in Kürze ein(en) Noxon 2 Audio zuzulegen. Bisher spiele ich meine Musik direkt am PC mit Winamp ab und hatte bis vor ein paar Monaten im Wohnzimmer eine Squeezebox im Einsatz. Mit beiden war (ist) es mittels Plug-In möglich, die gespielten Titel zu last.fm (http://www.last.fm) zu übermitteln. Gibt es eine solche Funktion auch mit dem TwonkyVision-Media-Server?
I will buy a Noxon 2 Audio in the next time. Actually I listen to music on my PC with Winamp and did use a Squeezebox in my living room. With these devices I could submit the music I listened to last.fm (http://www.last.fm) using a plugin. Is this also possible with the TwonkyVision-Media-Server?

I was investigating the possibility of writing a LastFM plugin, or linux shell script. I came up on several problems.
The plugin API does not provide track change callbacks, or currently playing information
I considered trying to parse the RSS feed produced by the Twonkyserver, but the RSS feed output is buggy

LastFM support really is the missing part of the puzzle for me. It means I can play things on my PS3, PC(mediabrowser), and Noxon clients arond the house, and my LastFM profile would be a consoloted database of my listening habbits, and recommend new music, based on REAL data of what I like.
It's also something that NONE of the other DLNA/UPnP mediaservers offer.... (hint, hint....)
Even if twonky could output a scrobbler.log file, that can used via a cron job and a script like thos one: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=190624
For the unitiated, have a play with Last.FM, and Windows Media player... It's awesome... http://www.last.fm/

Aside some homemade (haven't seen last.fm enabled/embedded device) scripts to run it (seen it for the Roku), I doubt you'll find a suitable solution right now. I don't know your programming skills, but maybe the PHP app done for the Roku units may be 'ported' (if it does not already work) for your device ...

I could/would be more that happy to write a plugin, but unfortunatly, TwonkyMedia does not give enough info to the plugins to enable this. The RSS feed could be parsed, but it's buggy.sansp00 wrote:Aside some homemade (haven't seen last.fm enabled/embedded device) scripts to run it (seen it for the Roku), I doubt you'll find a suitable solution right now.

At the end of the day, I am hoping the Twonky guys see how awesome Last.FM is, and include support in the client, or offical plugin... There is a well documented SDK at the LastFM/AudioScrobber site.
Social networking is the way forward, and LastFM is one of the best, as it's background is firmly music based.

Any official work on this from Twonky's end?
I really want this, and am prepared to sit down and write a parser for the XML output from Twonkymedia.
However, I don't want to do this, if there is official support in the pipeline (duplication of effort), and using the XML PLaylist output is not really the most robust way of doing this, having the server support Last.FM natively would be a far better solution...
