vagalume error message
 

does vagalume still work-keep getting an error message "invalid radio url.....

my last fm subscription is fine when i go to the last fm website

Re: vagalume error message
 

I'm getting network connection error for last.fm and libre.fm

Re: vagalume error message
 

On the N900, Vagalume doesn't work for Last.fm; it's libre.fm only.

It's in the FAQs. Last.fm doesn't allow streaming to mobile phones.

Re: vagalume error message
 

sorry forgot to mention i have a n810 os diablo

Re: vagalume error message
 

But the N900 is a mobile computer. ;)

Re: vagalume error message
 

Is there any way to add this manually?

Re: vagalume error message
 

Tried the new one but promptly returned to my free music heaven.

Re: vagalume error message
 

Does the chinook/diablo version work on the N900??

Re: vagalume error message
 

You just need to create/download a file like this:

http://pastebin.com/f49509cfd

but with a valid Last.fm API key ( http://www.last.fm/api/account ), and then import it from Vagalume.

Re: vagalume error message
 

What?! I don't understand any of what you said. All I want to do is stream some music. I have a Libre.fm and last.fm account. Why won't it accept my login and just play? And if I need a file to play it, why doesn't the app retieve it for me? I don't even see any place to download this file. Since the file is needed, why not give instructions on how to get it, then import it into the N900? Or put "for rocket scientists only" in the details...

Re: vagalume error message
 

Then you should probably read the FAQ first, in particular the last two questions: http://vagalume.igalia.com/faq.html

Re: vagalume error message
 

I have access to the API account info, and have my key and secret, but don't find any documentation for the web services URL. Someone please help me out here, and I'll write a guide layman folk like me can understand.
Same for this little elusive tidbit...

Re: vagalume error message
 

I read that, and its what I found confusing. Since you seem to understand it so well, why don't you explain it to me. Not the reason the data is absent, but how to add it.

Re: vagalume error message
 

I get the same error message after installing version 0.8 on my N800. I also am able to listen directly from last.fm site.

Re: vagalume error message
 

den the older version works fine-just used it-looks like a bug with the new version-unless someone wants us to use libre fm instead of last fm-major conspiracy in the works

Re: vagalume error message
 

Am I the only one getting an error message when I try to install vagalume 0.8 on the n900? "Error: cannot find files." or the equivalent in Swedish

Re: vagalume error message
 

ok i finally got to the bottom of the story-that is for $3.00 USD a month it will work-yes folks pay and play on the latest version of vagalume if you want to use last fm-now if someone could do an app that downloads all the music to the memory card similar to streamripper then that $3 would be worth it

Re: vagalume error message
 

as far as i understand it, it's not about "a file" you would need to download. the problem is the API-key within this file. the API-key doesn't identify you as a user, it identifies the developer who wrote the application.

because accessing last.fm from your N900 violates their terms of use, the author of the application asks you not to change vagalume in a way so that it could access last.fm. doing so will result in last.fm banning his key... and all vagalume versions that run on real tablets and can still access last.fm.

so the proper way to do it is apply for your own API-key, modify vagalume and wait till you get banned.

this is what i understood. could still be wrong, but at least it's a good story. ;)

Re: vagalume error message
 

That's correct, thanks for summarizing it.

(and also note that Vagalume does not only run on Internet Tablets, it works on any GNU/Linux distribution -Debian, Ubuntu, etc.- and it is used by many people who haven't ever touched a Nokia Internet Tablet)

Re: vagalume error message
 

So the new version requires you to pay a subscription but the old version works even if you don't pay anything? Is that what happens?

Re: vagalume error message
 

so far yes but i have not tried the old version for a few weeks-so i do not know about long term-i paid the $3 to try the new version and see what the free downloads are like -if they are no better than what is already freely available then i will NOT use vagalume at all

Re: vagalume error message
 

Ok, note that you're probably violating the Last.fm terms of service if you do this, but these would be the steps:

1. Download this file: http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f49509cfd

2. Open it with a text editor

3. Put your API key and secret there.

4. Import the new file from Vagalume

5. Go to the Preferences dialog and select 'Last.fm'

Re: vagalume error message
 

The service doesn't change, read the original announcement here:

http://blog.last.fm/2009/03/24/lastf...o-announcement

http://www.last.fm/group/Last.fm+Web...7212/_/8966064

The funny thing here is that, if what you say is correct, applications using the old API (e.g. Vagalume 0.7.1) still work even if you don't have a subscription. An that's a shame. I spent a lot of time adapting Vagalume to use the new API.

Re: vagalume error message
 

Alberto, it is true, version 0.7 worked fine. As soon as I installed version 0.8 it started giving me the URL error message. Maybe your team will find a bug and give us an update.

Re: vagalume error message
 

I don't think there is a bug in 0.8. It's just that last.fm hasn't turned off the old API. If and when they do, only 0.8 will work if and only if you provide a key.

Re: vagalume error message
 

Setting old_streaming_api to 1 does, indeed, get me accessing Last.FM - without being a subscriber - in exactly the way that Vagalume on my N810 does.

Re: vagalume error message
 

That's good to know, I think I can release a new Vagalume version with a workaround so that it uses the old API automatically if the new one doesn't work.

Re: vagalume error message
 

It doesn't work for me here, maybe it depends on the country.

Can you try with this patch?

http://pastebin.ca/1715740

(I can prepare a package for you if you want)

Re: vagalume error message
 

Maybe, I am in the UK.

I don't have time to get the source, apply the patch and build a binary - but if you email me a binary (doesn't need to be a full-blown package), I'll happily test it.

Re: vagalume error message
 

Ok, it appears to work, expect a new Vagalume release soon. Thanks for helping me debug the problem.

Re: vagalume error message
 

I'm not getting same error you guys are getting I"m getting a network connection error for both Last.fm and Libre.fm I checked and I am online.

Re: vagalume error message
 

Yes, don't upgrade if your old version works. I need to downgrade back to the 7.1 version for it to work again. It doesn't make sense at all. All I want is to listen to the music for free. I don't care about all the other functions.

Re: vagalume error message
 

I was getting same error as you are with version 0.8

I downgraded to version 0.7 and all is well.

Re: vagalume error message
 

I've just released 0.8.1, it should fix those problems. Can you
please confirm it once the packages reach maemo-extras ? Thanks!

Re: vagalume error message
 

Alberto, Version 0.8.1 works fine, thanks!

Re: vagalume error message
 

Those who got LastFM working: did you insert a valid api key/secret that you applied for? I ask since Libre.fm works fine for my 8.1 install but I get a "Network connection error". I took the XML snipped posted earlier and modified it by only changing the old_streaming_api entry.

Re: vagalume error message
 

[QUOTE=bmouring;431070]Those who got LastFM working: did you insert a valid api key/secret that you applied for? QUOTE]

No. I just installed version 0.8.1 and it ran.

Re: vagalume error message
 

I tried downloading the XML file and changing old_streaming_api to 1 with 0.8.1 on an N900 (I figure that over WiFi would not violate the terms of last.fm), and I get a network error. This is with no key. I was hoping that this version would fall back to the working API. Is that not the case?

thanks,
Frank

Re: vagalume error message
 

I'm still getting "network connection error" with version 0.81 even though I have a valid last.fm account.

I've switched back to 0.71 once again and that seems to work flawlessly.

Re: vagalume error message
 

0.8.1 gives "Network Connection Error"

Where is a lower, working version? The 0.8.1 is not working for me.
