[RELEASE] Last.FM Playlist Generator Script - Auto Generate Similar Music Playlists

1.0.8 is the latest version. I suggest you install Mortstar´s repo (found here: https://github.com/mortstar/repository-mortstar-addons) and install the addon from there. That way, you'll get updates automagically.

Can you put a new log file up on pastebin? And have you scanned all your music to the library?

In this case I belive Last.FM is unable to find any similar tracks.

If you compare these two:
http://www.last.fm/music/Massive+Attack/...e/+similar
and for example:
http://www.last.fm/music/Pink+Floyd/_/Time/+similar

Nothing I can do about it I'm afraid.

i have tried with all kind of artists and didn't get a result.

10x anyway,

Thanx mate.

You can test by manipulating this link: http://www.last.fm/music/{Artist name}/_/{Track name}/+similar
Replacing the {Artist name} and {Track name}
If the resulting page gives you results, so should the addon given you have some of the similar tracks in your library.

Send me a log file if you run into any wierdness.

First of all, this is a really great addon!

It would be great if it would automatically detect whether a mysql database is used. I stumbled across the bug discussed earlier in this thread, where in the SQL SELECT statement:

Quote:order by random()

has to be replaced by:

Quote:order by rand()

In the main script file (pm.py) when using a shared mysql library (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ibraries). When using a local library, the script works fine "out of the box".

Keep up the good work!

I just tried to activate the script (1. 0.8) from the repository. But it fails with unsatisfied dependencies. 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?
