Last.fm on the Popcorn Hour!

[coendeurloo]

I'm sure a lot of people heard of the awesome website/program Last.fm:

http://www.last.fm

We need this on the Pocorn Hour!

[jeromewilson]

Definitely

[Violent Ken]

yes the would be sweet!!!!

You can use Last.FM on the PCH with SwissCenter

[coendeurloo]

SwissCenter looks OK, will check it out when I get home.

P.s: You know what would be a nice feature? To make your TV screen go black while playing audio. I don't have to look at anything while listening to music.

You can already do this. You should have a button on the front of your TV, usually labelled On/Off. Pressing this should have the desired effect

[coendeurloo]

Ofcourse, audio will stop too in that case (unless you have an external audio system)...

[coendeurloo]

Another thing: you need to leave your PC on for Swisscenter to work.

It would be nice to have a 'dedicated' Last.fm program on the Popcorn itself, without the extra power usage of a PC you need to leave on all the time...

Sammael, you are my personal hero. It is very easy and I love that you made the screen go black when it plays...it's just perfect! If only you'd add the 'my loved tracks' for the subscribers it would be 100%!

[sammael]

Thanks, I'm glad that you like my plugin.

werner: Thanks for the vote.
coendeurloo: As far as I know, there's no way to play 'my loved tracks' with audioscrobbler's API (which I'm using in this plugin).
