Title: Calling CJ: Last Track Played
Post by: Gimpson on December 29, 2004, 03:41:35 pm

CJ, I seem to remember you having explained this a while back, I can't seem to find it.  How does your "Last Track Played" signature thing work?  I assume it is somehow Audioscrobbler related but how are you doing that exactly?

It is indeed AS related. I use the PHP-based ScrobblerSig which can be found here (http://wiki.audioscrobbler.com/index.php/ScrobblerSig).

I haven't had a chance to try the newest version with its fancy time and font options since I'm moving computers but I've never had a problem with the older versions. And the author is always helpful.

You just need space on a server with PHP and GD libraries installed. You also need to set the folder's permissions to 777.

I have never gotten that fucker to work.  I blame my hosting service, who refuses to help beyond "PHP is working fine."

For a while my host accidentally turned off GD libraries but reactivated them within an hour after I e-mailed support.

If you go one level up in the link I provided there are other non-PHP options. I just like ScrobblerSig because of the options and because it can tell the difference between Now Playing and Last Played.

I completely gave up on all of that, as every time I use it my computer tells me, not gently, that I have no business using computers for anything beyond minesweeper.

I just got a new computer last week. I haven't yet moved all my mp3's or installed the reporting device. So I've had to listen to my music the old fashioned way.

It might still be a while since installing a 2nd HD is turning out to be much more difficult than I anticipated. I spent 80 minutes on the phone with Maxtor support Monday and still no dice. Damn you IDE! Damn you all to hell! Stupid non-SATA bastard.

Browsing on Google it seems that I may have inadvertantly picked an ATA adapter card that can't co-exist with a SATA boot drive. Damn it all to hell.
