Re: [ANNOUNCE/WIP] Last.fm radio player for harmattan

if you enable scrobble all songs on main screen, all songs will be scrobbled when they gets 30 seconds. I can change it to 50% if you all think its better.
I'll implemet swipe to change next song. It' a nice option.
And maybe I'll add the mini bio panel too.
I can add a profile screen with last played songs I think, but I don't think that last.fm api let me play those songs, that's why there's a collection radio I believe.
All improvements are welcome, so keep giving ideas.

About OVI, I don't think this app will pass the QA, causes last.fm says we can't use their radio api on mobile phone.
But I'll apreciate all donations if you want to support ;)

I believe either 50% or 75% is the recommendation (user selected)

+1 for panel and scrobble history.
Correct. The labels won't allow them to stream user selected songs or abums. Only, radio style channels.

I believe you could put a version that is WI-FI only into the app store - my understanding of the API EULA is that it's moblie streaming that gives them an issue (you could always make a 'patch' available discretely).

However, I believe the API also restricts commercial use - so charging may be another issue.

I had a similar issue here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84098

Despite the error(s) Last.fm works fine now.
After that, I installed another app (Meecast_0.5.7) via terminal (also uses aegis) without any errors.

Sorry for spoiling this topic, but I really want to know what's wrong. Please shed some light here.

Re: [ANNOUNCE/WIP] Last.fm radio player for harmattan

I had the same issue installing this app
But everything works fine, so I didn't pay attention
I'll check it later

In case you haven't seen it yet; we wrote an article about your last.fm app on our website: http://www.allboutn9.info/2012/05/wo...-n9-under.html

To me one of the best apps on my phone! :)

What users left in the comment section:

--timezone isn't ajusting when scrobbling. It seems that gmt is configured but no way to change it.
-while scrobbling it says the scrobbler is flowplayer on the last.fm profile.

and

- I would love to have the scrobble-functionality built in the last.fm app (as in the symbian version).

(although I don't understand this post well, since isn't scrobble functionality already integrated? But I don't know the Symbian version of last.fm

EDIT: Ok he meant to have it integrated in the native N9 music player app.

Re: [ANNOUNCE/WIP] Last.fm radio player for harmattan

I've added the swipe to skip song and the small bio panel and changed the auto scrobbler at 50% instead of 30 seconds.
But I'm working on flowplayer right now (playlists support).
After that, I'll fix the timezone and register this app in last.fm to get a new api key (it uses flowplayer's one to scrobble for now).

my only fear is that if the app is registered with last.fm i will need to purchase a subscription. is that true? i live in the US so i do not have to subscribe to listen to last.fm radio, but in the US you have to purchase a subscription to listen to last.fm radio on mobile.

if that is the case, i just won't upgrade. i am excited about the updates you mentioned, though, so i hope that is not the case.

Re: [ANNOUNCE/WIP] Last.fm radio player for harmattan

from last.fm FAQ:

"Where do I need a subscription to listen to the radio?
If you live outside the US, UK or Germany you can try out Last.fm Radio with a free 50 tracks trial, after which a subscription is required to listen to it."

as of right now, i do not need a subscription to listen to the radio on your app. i don't know if it is because it is not "official" or what. my question is, if you register this app with last.fm officially, will that mean i will need a subscription?

Re: [ANNOUNCE/WIP] Last.fm radio player for harmattan

You don't need anything, don't worry
We can't use last.fm radio api in mobiles, but this app retrieve the data using a linux browser agent to get all we need.

BTW, here's the last update:
