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'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

    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.

    Bring back the free last.fm http://blog.last.fm/2009/03/24/lastfm-radio-announcement Hello all, I've just found out from last.fm's official blog that all users outside the US, UK and Germany will have to subscribe to listen to last.fm radio after March 30 pass it on, tell your friends and the leaders of groups you are in, because this information is not common knowledge yet and doesn't seem to be published anywhere else yet. Hola a todos. ya descubrí que apartir del 30 de Marzo, todos que viven fuera de los EEUU, el Reino Unido y Alemánia vana a tener que subscribirse para escuchar la rádio de last.fm. Díganlo para todos sus amigos, y los líderes de todos los grupos en que sean miembros, porque esta notícia solamente está publicada en el blog de last.fm y no es bien conocida entre la maioría de los usuários. http://blog.last.fm/2009/03/24/lastfm-radio-announcement

    The bug causing 3rd party players not to be able to play last.fm is now fixed, but remember that the legacy system that all this runs on is on borrowed time. The staff member who replied earlier said that ist should be fixed, so I tested all 3 players I have including the Proxy and they're all working again.

    This is true, and it's worked, at times, when the new system didn't, so I've kept it around here. Good to hear you're still around, have a good weekend and good luck with it next week. Thanks.
