This plugin don’t seems to work with the 3.2 nucleus.

Configuration

Under plugin options you have to set the offset to the Greenwich Mean Time. For example: if your server is in the USA the offset will be something like -6 (which is also the default). This setting is used to determine wheter the last song you played wasn’t like 3 days ago.

Under your user settings you must enter you AudioScrobbler ID

There is a per blog setting to disable the display of ‘NP: Song’ ...

Templatevar

Very simple: <%AudioScrobbler%>

Some things you might want to know

  • A song is only sent to AudioScrobbler when it is 50% complete (or after 240 seconds)
  • The song does not update when you update an item
  • The RSS parsing code is done by Xiffy (from NewsFeed)
  • There is an explanation at http://www.audioscrobbler.com/development/protocol.php on how AudioScrobbler expects handshakes to be done, which the plugin does not follow. Is the original author still working on the plugin? In that case, he should be adding the code for the handshake.
