emms and last.fm - no next track in playlist error

[Michael Oliver-2]

Hi,

I'm have some trouble getting emms to play last.fm streams. When I try to run "emms-play-lastfm-global-tag RET jazz RET" I get the errors message "No next track in playlist"

The rest of my  error log looks like:
-----------------------------------------------------------
EMMS Last.fm plugin deactivated
Loading url-auth...done
Loading url-cache...done
Loading mail-utils...done
EMMS: Handshaking for Last.fm playback successful
EMMS: Playing Last.fm stream
No next track in playlist
EMMS: All track information loaded.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Relevant part of .emacs:
----------------------------------------
(add-to-list 'load-path '"/home/mike/.emacs.d")
(require 'emms-setup)
(emms-devel)
(emms-default-players)
(emms-lastfm-enable)

(setq emms-lastfm-username  "$MYLASTFMUSERNAME")
(setq emms-lastfm-password "$MYLASTFMPASS")

(ad-activate 'emms-lastfm-radio)
-------------------------------------------------

Emacs version: 22.3.1
Emms version : 3.0


Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be and how it might be resolved?

Regards,

Me, too.

The problem is that emms-lastfm.el isn't up-to-date when it comes to the
lastfm streams.  Since the time I've implemented that the protocol has
changed several times, and I only updated the "scrobbeling" part,
e.g. track submission, because that's what I use only.

To make things worse, only the scrobbeling part is documented.  The
streaming part's spec is how it's implemented in the official lastfm
client.  (At least that was the situation when I looked at it the last
time.)

So if someone volunteers to look at the official player's sources and to
implement the streaming api, that would be great, but it's not on my
todo list.

Bye,
Tassilo
