Cross-Platform iPod Plugin

Thanks Muti! Been waiting for this for ages! Now if only I can get it to work...
Reading through the thread, I followed all the steps. It successfully parsed my playcounts but when I get to the part where I enter "Y" to submit the tracks, It always gives me "unknown error submitting". I tried it again and again but it all stops there. What should I do? Please help me....

Awesome plugin Muti. I've been watching this site for months for an ipod/windows solution, thanks!

Got it working today, but after my last sync i get a message on my audioscrobbler page saying:

"Your plugin reported a submission error: Submission contains invalid characters - check your tags."

My tags do contain some funky accented characters, and they definitely didn't look right in the pip console output, but I didn't think much of it (although they look fine on the ipod/itunes/file system). Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Paul

i suspect the track is:

title: Kèlè Mandi
album: Bowmboï
artist: Rokia Traoré

but i'm not sure either. pm me if you'd like some more info.

I am not alone then! Had a thought that Windows firewall may be stopping Audiopod sending anything, turned it off and alas, still the same.

Awesome, yay, etc.

Quoth deanchristesen:
Alright thanks for the help, but unfortunately it still doesn't work. Here are more details on what I've done.

I've changed the top of fetchandsubmit.php to...

$GLOBALS['iTunesDir'] = 'G:/iPod_Control/iTunes'; (with backslashes)
$GLOBALS['asUsername'] = 'deanchristesen';
$GLOBALS['asPassword'] = 'mypassword';

And audiopod.cmd now says:

cd C:/audiopod (the new location of audiopod.cmd)
php.exe fetchandsubmit.php
start/b c:/progra~1/itunes/itunes.exe
exit
(With backslashes where necessary)

Thanks for the help.


So what actually happens when you run it?

If you just see a window flash up for a moment and then disappear, have you tried running the commands in a command prompt window instead to see what error you're getting?

Quoth Muti:
I've committed a version of fetchandsubmit.php that spits out some debug output when it cannot determine the error message (Unknown error). Please grab it from http://projects.afterglo.ws/file/trunk/audioPod/fetchandsubmit.php?rev=110&format=raw and let me know what the debug output displays.

In regards to the delay after parsing the iTunes, the next step is what is called handshaking. The only reason this would take a long time is if post.audioscrobbler.com is not responding to the handshake request. I am curious if the people who are receiving these "Unknown errors" are behind proxies as this script makes a direct connection over port 80.

oh cool, i'm just going out, but i'll grab that file and give it a spin later.

As for connection, i'm not behind a proxie or anything, but i am on a very slow dialup connection (this must be why the handshake is slow?), connection speed is around 30k (3k downloads in otherwords)

I downloaded the new revision, but still cannot submit to AS. :(
Here's what it looks like:

It says BADAUTH? But I made sure my username and password is correct... What should I do, Muti?

If you are having problems, please try http://projects.afterglo.ws/file/trunk/audioPod/fetchandsubmit.php?rev=112&format=raw. I've made a few small changes, and I'm betting it probably won't fix some of the issues that have been reported, but it's possible.


Mewzors: Your issue is very odd as I have no idea why Audioscrobbler would return that error.

That error would be caused by the AudioScrobbler handshake failing, I just committed a version that outputs some handshake debug information, http://projects.afterglo.ws/file/trunk/audioPod/fetchandsubmit.php?rev=114&format=raw.

Edit: changed the URL.

And here's some decent icons:
