Last.fm Log Uploader

Hi,

Firstly I mentioned this on another thread, but this is the only thread for this script.. and since it now applies to all the players that are RB'd then this is a better home.

I have written a PHP script for web based audioscrobbler log submission.

It supports both .scrobbler.log files and .scrobbler-timeless.log files.

I have just updated the script to be a lot more efficient in submitting the logs and I'm looking for testers and feedback about the script.

I personally find it useful when I want to submit logs while I'm at work, where I can't run any files that aren't permitted.

Please feel free to use the script and give me any bug reports/feedback/flames

Interesting...

Well, it's a great idea. Unfortunately there were a lot of failed track submissions (almost half of the total!) and these are not tracks that typically fail. I'm not sure what happened, but it seems to be a problem with your script. All of the failed tracks appeared to have dates of 1985/1986. Odd.

How utterly frustrating. The problem is simply that I listened to songs on my PC before submitting my H320-scrobbled data. Well, there goes 500 hours of log. Oh well.

Thanks - the script is handy.

Thanks for confirming it wasn't the script.

Hope people are finding this useful, already had a little bit of feedback from people, updates were made accordingly, if you have an idea, please let me know!

i think the reason why some track submissions fail is because the song isnt listen all the way through, this is very useful, thanks

Thanks! And yes, sorry for any misunderstanding, if a track gets a red cross next to it it is because of one of two reasons:

1. The track was under 30 seconds long
2. Less than 50% of the track was listened to

This is hard coded onto the log itself, Rockbox works it out

Thanks for the feedback everyone, it helped me sort one or two things out.

I have always used http://rockscrob.hostvit.ru/ and never had any problems.

I just tried your version, it seemed a little sluggish on comparison (though I am not currently on my own pc) but the output in your version is much much better, good work.

Is there any chance that you could add a delete scrobbler.log option? It would save the hassle of doing it my self. Haha hassle, I'm so lazy!

[l'enfant terrible]

Hey, sorry it took a while to reply!

OK...

The reason why its a bit more sluggish is because it submit the logs in real time... I think the http://rockscrob.hostvit.ru/ site stores the logs and submits them after the output is shown to you.

This potentially has problems if the last.fm servers are down, which I have seen a couple of times.

With regards to deleting the .scrobbler.log file - this isn't possible, it's just the way a browser works. Otherwise nasty sites could delete you Windows folder for example - this never happens.
