ErlendSB - my sincere thanks for creating this script. Hope this add-on gets more attention from users, co-devs and the xbmc crew as this kind of functionality (vs apple genius) should be built-in

As far as I can see one of the unsatisfied dependencies is the python module PIL. It does not exist any longer in the Eden environment of my Openelec installation. How can I resolve this?
I believe you can remove this line from addon.xml (located in %appdata%\XBMC\addons\script.lastfmplaylistgeneratorPM):
<import addon="script.module.pil" version="1.1.7"/>
I believe I don't need this dependency, as is has something to do with images.
Let me know if it works and I'll fix it for the next version.

ErlendSB: I have an issue with the script that when I start playing a song, it does find similar tracks, but after going to the second or third track in the discovered list, xbmc hangs completely. Any idea?

I've seen this too, when using the Artist slideshow addon. Could you try disabling it and see if that helps. I believe that when two addons running at the same time are listening for playback changes, it causes xbmc freeze. A bug report was filed a while ago. I'll bump it if it's still the case.

+1 for seeing this bug.....it's been a longstanding pain as the two addons are my most used! If this could be fixed for good it would be amazing!
in the meantime to use the script at all do we need to do the addon.xml edit you mentioned above?
Thanks so much - so happy this addon is still being worked on...as somebody mentioned above I;m surprised there hasn;t been more noise about this being built into XBMC...it's that essential

ErlendSB: Yep indeed, disabling Artist slideshow did the trick. Hopefully this bug gets fixed soon...
thx

Any news on ironing out this bug ErlendSB? Thanks

Sadly no. I need help from the devs on this one, as I suspect xbmc core code has to be changed.
Maybe we do something to help. Like collecting some log data. I have tried without any luck as I get a complete freeze. But I´m sure it would help pinpoint the problem if we can supply some more info on what´s happening when the freeze occurs.
The bug ticket is filed here:

Cool...well good luck...hope it gets fixed soon...
Not sure if XBMC core needs to be changed...the only reason i say that is because the Artist Slideshow and actually streaming songs through last.fm as a XBMC music source play perfectly nicely together.
Thanks for your ongoing efforts!

Anyone having problems with the script lately? I'm getting "no similar track were found" errors with every song in the playlist.
