Amarok 1.x Scripts

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

5.0
Description:

This Amarok-script fetches GlobalTags from last.fm on trackchange or for the selected songs in the playlist. The Tags are added as labels to the amarok-database.
Band name and track name as tags are now filtered out.

Additional Features:
*ban tags with a blacklist
*configure maximum number tags to fetch for a track
*configure minimum score each tag must have
*enable/disable automatic fetching of tags upon trackchange

Default for tagcount is 5, for the blacklist it is "live" and "seen live", for min-score 35 and automatic-fetching on trackchange is disabled.

If you have files with with two paths to them in your collection, the script will fail.


If the script does not work:
* Do a full rescan of your collection
* Try with a clean database
* Mail me :)

Deps:
*ruby
*internet connection
*Amarok with label support >=1.4.5 or SVN-rev>=611097
*kdialog

Is it possible to make this script working on amarok 2.x?

I love this script, but i can't make it working on new great amarok...

Would it be possible to add in an option to only use the last.fm tags from the profile of the user? i.e., if I have my last.fm username in Amarok set to defaultxr and this option enabled, the script would only load the tags that defaultxr used on the track and not global tags.

I'd also like to see the possibility previously suggested to update last.fm's tag database when we remove or add a label in Amarok. But that's not as important as my first wish.

I like this script so far otherwise; it is a great idea, and thank you for writing it :) I would add these functions myself, but I don't know Ruby. :(

I have som songs with title and artist in Cyrillic letters. E.g. ДДТ - Родина. According to http://www.lastfm.se/music/ДДТ/_/Родина this song has the following tags (sans quotes): "flute", "hell yeah", "philosophical", "piano", "rock", "russian", "russian rock" and "singalong", but synctags gives the song these tags (again sans quotes): "jrock", "J-rock", "japanese", "nothing", "News", "Shogo Hamada", "Arashi" and "Piknik". I'm using synctags version 1.0.2.

when geting the tabs for a huge playlist (like if we want to update the tags of the entire collection) the script import just tags from some musics (20 or 30 first musics), and not to all of then.

Yes, there is a limit. We don't want to overload their servers.

hi,

i love this script, but there are two things that annoy me.
first it sometimes adds empty labels (""). it's very hard to remove them again. could you please make a check for these empty labels before adding them?
the second thing is, that sometimes wrong tags are added to a track. if i remove them, they are readded when listening to the track again. so would it be possible to check, weather the track has already tags or maybe even better make a list of files that have been tagged by synctag and check every file against this list before adding labels (except the user called synctag via the context menu).

so here is a dirty hack for the wrong label problem:

Hi

Can someone please tell me where i access the tags when they've been added? I've figured out how to tag entries, and rescanned my library, but how do i actually make use of the tags??

Surely i'm missing something really obvious...

now you can filter your collection by labels ;) (e.g. label:rock)

What about syncing tags the other way?
I mean to have the possibility to sync (post) locally added labels to lastfm account.
IMHO this could greatly improve lastfm integration in amarok!

keep up the good work!

Hurra,

I'm really impressed with the speed of the last couple of versions. It's not blocking everything on track change like it was earlier. Great job!

I got the same "Could not determine URL" problem, but only with a few tracks. Hope this could be fixed soon :). Love the script btw, thanks.

Make sure kded is running and try a full rescan after that.

I think i found the problem. Just waiting for a users answer :)

For me, the problem was the substr function in the SQL queries. This function is named substring in mysql. After I changed this, the script worked.

Hi,

I just switched from sqlite to mysql and now I get the same error. I'm running the latest version with the substr/substring replacement.

I think it's better to stay with this little bug instead of rescaning my collection and losing all my scores and stuff. And i don't use KDE. :D Thnaks for your answer.

Yeah, that's the problem. kded needs to run, if you want to use dynamic collections anyways.

A full rescan shoudn't drop your stats. To stay safe, you could make a backup before scanning.

I think that's not the problem. I'm not a KDE user, but it doesn't mean that i don't have kded running. I do have ( 5423 ? S 0:00 kded [kdeinit]) since amarok runs all the needed kde stuff on startup.

Well, you could try this:
dcop amarok collection query "SELECT * FROM uniqueid WHERE deviceid=-1 LIMIT 5"


If it contains your music, the next version will help you :)

and... i forgot, i'm running mysql as amarok database. So backup my database and create everything again is just a think that i don't want right now hehe.. sorry for my annoyance.

But i'm going stop complaining and try to figure out the reason of this error, and thus, help you.

Thanks :D
