Hi,

is there any way to run the lastbridge app on my own server?

Thank you!
Thomas

Are you still supporting lastbridge.net? Site is down at the moment and it was a brilliant app. Hoping it reappears soon. Thanks!!

The problem seems to be that the last.fm server lastbridge ultimately redirects you to is down:

For example
http://www.lastbridge.net/playlist/8dce759282b9f38ea99715272e9f7f61/3179/twparker.pls
contains playlist item
http://www.lastbridge.net/play/8dce759282b9f38ea99715272e9f7f61/3179
which redirects to
http://195.24.233.49:80/last.mp3?Session=f04010a0054af9e1ffb98553db41cd0a

and 195.24.233.49 is down. so it’s either a last.fm problem, or the server IPs need to be updated in lastbridge

I’m also having problems with the url. I’m trying to get it to work in Reciva and Winamp – using the url only (if it works there it should work as a stream in my Radios.

If i put the url into Winamp it’ll pop up “end of playlist”.

hum……

Also the video seems (it IS a year old) to have a slightly different version of the lastbridge – I’ve no “playlust er playlist” option.

BUT don’t get me wrong – DANDY piece of work!

I’m having the same problem as Stef. I have the PLS URL from Lastbridge. Lastbridge is getting the playlist from Last.fm, so it is connecting fine. But my Soundbridge won’t use the PLS URL to connect to Last.fm. It just sits there, retrying and retrying to connect. I do have a Last.fm subscription. Other presets on the Soundbridge with the PLS format work fine.

Okay, I found out that there is no playlist-link anymore, but when I copy the pls-file generated by lastbridge to a preset of my soundbridge and try to play that preset the soundbridge is unable to connect.

Hi,
I tried to connect my Soundbridge using the manual as shown here: http://www.revver.com/video/626311/how-to-use-lastbridgenet/
but it does not work, even after I changed the station there is no “playlist” link in the home menu of lastbridge.net.

I need help, urgently!!!

Thanx in advance

Stef

Just tried setting up a station which would only play tracks tagged ‘alternative’ in my library. Instead lastbridge generated a url which played tracks from the entire library of a friend.
I tried entering either of the following to generate a url in lastbridge.
Am I doing something wrong?

lastfm/listen/user/gaisce1/personal/alternative

http://www.last.fm/listen/usertags/gaisce1/alternative.

Thanks Ferny, This is a really Great program.
However, at present it is only possible to play your full library or your loved tracks and these can be set up as separate stations on your Internet radio by entering the urls from lastbridge in ‘my streams’ in reciva. If you try to play a playlist or a tag from your library, lastbridge generates a url which plays your entire library.

I too would welcome if you could re-add the single playlist file as I could then play anything I wished from Library, loved tracks, playlist, tags, friends stuff etc and I was able to do this using mobile scrobbler on the iphone. i.e the iphone was like a remote control for my internet radio.
So could we have both options for the best of all worlds.
Thanks again for your hard work.
Mike.

Ferny

Thanks for the advice. I’ve now set up a number of stations as presets on my Soundbridge.
Quick question. There are no ‘now playing’ track details. Is this how it should work?

Hey Ferney, many thanks for this sweet code. Unfortunately I don’t quite have it working yet. The SB pulls the preset up but cannot connect to the station. I’ve added the URL to the playlist.

Does my ‘player name’ on the roku interface need to be the same as my user name?

any other ideas?

thx,

Michael

That would be wonderful, if you don’t mind. That way I can keep a large # of last.fm stations on my lastbridge account, more than could be stored as presets on my Soundbridge.

Thanks for your program – I love it!
