Description:
This group is for support, usage tips and tricks, feature requests and general discussions about LastFMProxy. Download here.

LastFMProxy is a proxy server for the last.fm radio streams. It allows you to use your regular old audio player to listen to the last.fm streams. It does this by acting as a player itself, connecting to the server on your behalf, but instead of playing the stream, it simply relays it to whichever other application connecting to it.

You can download it from here.

    i HIGHLY recommend stereo tool 6.21 as a plugin for winamp. it's a free download, and if you're wired into your home stereo it'll sound like you're sitting in an amphitheater.

    Hi. I set up the config file with my username and password, but it doesn't seem to work. Do I have to put in the API key info? I'm not part of that.

    thank you Gabi for adapting the scripts to the new API. Finally it is working. However, I have a minor problem with the interface handling. For any "love"/"ban" acttion, I get a: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position 8: ordinal not in range(128) error. Platform: Linux Ubuntu 10.4 64 bit. Any idea what might go wrong with the encoding?

    Hi, version 1.4d is available now. It contains one minor fix for cable modem users based on vladale's questions. Gabi

    Hi there, lastFmProxy version 1.4c is now available at http://www.gabifrings.de/download.html . I continued Vidarino's work and fixed the 'love' and 'ban' rating (using the new web service API). Please refer to the manual as some new installation and configuration steps are required now. Enjoy it, Gabi

    I've just tried using the proxy for the first time and it does not work for me. As it's the first time, I can't tell if this is because of the issue about 3rd party clients going subscriber only, or just something I've done wrong in the install. When I click on "Start Radio" in the browser it takes me to a new URL http://localhost:1881/lastfm.m3u, but there's a DNS error and no contents. Can someone atvise if this sounds like I've just made some mistakes installing it, or is this typcial of the 3rd party clients issue? If so, is there any fix for this? I have already tried replacing main.py and config.py with the Voidstar versions in that discussion. Thanks

    hi. i have a decent audio system connected to my computer, and would REEEEEAALLY like to be able to play last.fm through my WMP 11 so that the music would sound as good as it should. but after multiple attempts to accomplish this (including a personal e-mail from the proxy designer), i find that my techno-wizardry is not up to the task.python 3.1 seems to be installed properly, the "config.py" file has been edited, and i have double clicked on the "main.py" file multiple times. but since i don't know how to operate a python OS, i don't know if the window appearing for a moment then disappearing means the file is running. then when i enter "http://localhost:1881/" into internet explorer 8 and hit the "go" button, i get the error message saying the web page is currently unavailable. any tech. helper that can guide me through getting this up and running will have earned e-sainthood in my book.

    ahem. to be honest, it's the first time I'm looking into anything like this. with regards to the 'readme' advice that comes with the proxy download, I got as far as entering username and password and leaving the rest in the config.py untouched. when opening main.py, where am I supposed to find the URL that needs copying? basically, in an ideal world, what I'd like to do is enter an artist's name in last.fm and then do all the rest in itunes (checking artist and title, skipping and loving songs etc. is the LastFM proxy the route to follow anyway? any advice will be much appreciated, t

    A friend of mine wrote a tutorial to use ProxyWay to use a dynamic proxy for last.fm. I translated it into English and posted it on my website. Its a bit of work but it does work :) Its located here: http://pindaman.net/miscellaneous

    still top secret from russia: if you're not subscribed - first you should need to request cookie (request like - http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/radio/handshake.php?lalalalala...) through US or German proxy. After this other functions can work directly (with small "&api=" modification) =)

    I tried using the proxy today and it does not work, after some wasting hours debugger (I'm a coder by the way), it seems that the service may no longer be available. Please save yourself time and don't try using it. So dissapointed, was looking for a way to stream the radio to my PS3 via Tversity.
