  Hi!

  I love your plugin and I find it really usefull and handy! It is easier to handle as the other plugins I have tried and has more options also.

  There is just one little bug I want to report: after installing the plugin and clicking on “EZ-Scrobbler-Settings”, the following “wordpress database error” was displayed:

  “Invalid default value for ‘last_updated’”

  Now, I don’t know anything about SQL, so I googled my way through some forums, and found this solution (although I have no clue what this means …):

  I replaced the following line in the “ez-wp-scrobbler.php” file:

  “last_updated datetime DEFAULT ‘NOW()’”

  with the line:

  “last_updated TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL”

  Now I don’t get any database error messages, so I guess it works, but maybe you could look into this for a better solution.

  Anyway, thanks a lot for the hard work and the sharing, it is very appreciated!

• 2 brink // Sep 10, 2006 at 11:00 am

  Thanks for letting me know about this. Basically the issue is when it’s setting up the table initially to save your settings and recent tracks, it tries to set a default value for when it last hit last.fm.. unfortunately NOW (which represents whenever something is being saved) doesn’t necessarily exist for all databases. I guess I didn’t look hard enough at all the versions of mysql to see where it was supported.

  I’ll go in and remove the default value because I’m always saving something to it, anyway. Thanks again!

• 3 laurie // Sep 15, 2006 at 7:16 am

  Love the updates! Have a question though, so you’re supposed to actually click on “recent” “weekly” “top” in order to see the list? or should it be automatically displayed? Because all I see right now on the sidebar is the “recent” “weekly” and “top” links. I don’t see the list of songs till I actually click on the link… is that how it’s supposed to work?

  I had to take off the image because it kept showing “loading”. that’s weird. Other than that, love the plugin.

• 4 brink // Sep 16, 2006 at 9:54 am

  Thanks! I’m glad you like it!

  Yeah, that’s the way it has to work. There really isn’t a good way to show all options at once, because last.fm wants a certain limit of requests per second. Doing things how they want things done, if you selected all options, I would have to write it so it took 4 seconds to load all the data. During that time, no other web user could view your blog, potentially :/

  It’s kinda crappy, but I figure this way is better than just doing it anyway and releasing something that would cause last.fm to potentially disable your account.

  I’ll look into that loading image thing. I’m currently working on some slight modifications, so I’ll see if I can duplicate and fix that bug. Were you seeing this in Internet Explorer or Firefox? It may be browser-related, interestingly enough.

• 5 scibs // Sep 28, 2006 at 4:57 pm

  I seem to having trouble getting this to work properly. I’m gettnig the following php warning:

  Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ws.audioscrobbler.com:80 in /html/wp-includes/class-snoopy.php on line 1150

  It then returns, “Not Available”. I can view the xml in a browser, so I’m not sure why its having a problem “connecting”. Any ideas?

• 6 brink // Sep 28, 2006 at 8:41 pm

  Huh, that’s a little weird. I’m not sure why it’s throwing an error in that “class-snoopy” file — I don’t even know what that is, some kind of rss reader or something. I’ll poke around a bit and see if I can find anything.

  Actually, what other plugins do you have installed? Mycode doesn’t use that class_snoopy thing at all, but it’s possible that somehow the plugin doesn’t play well with some other plugin.

• 7 scibs // Sep 29, 2006 at 11:18 am

  Yep, there was a conflict. Although I still can’t get *any* rss feed reader to work. Your plugin always displays “Nothing Current”, but that could be a pleasant wrapper for the error I’m getting with every other rss reader as well. Maybe I can’t write to my temp cache or something.. not sure. I guess I’ll have to live with the lame chart graphic for now. Thanks for the reply, though.

• 8 brink // Sep 29, 2006 at 2:03 pm

  :/ Do you know what version of php you’re running? Has your provider locked down outgoing connections? That’s what fsock is complaining about, and it would explain why rss stuff isn’t working for you.

• 9 brink // Oct 1, 2006 at 12:55 pm

  So, finishing looking into it, it appears that the error is most likely not due to the ezscrobbler. It’s most likely a general problem with your provider not allowing you to make outbound connections.

  Without knowing your URL and other plugins, I can’t test it. But based on the error you report and where it’s reporting an error, that seems the most likely culprit

• 10 scibs // Oct 3, 2006 at 8:20 am

  Yeah, I’m sure its not your plugin. My host’s php build says it allows fopen, but I don’t think it really does. That seems to be the consistent error point. Thanks for the assist.

• 11 Andrew // Oct 5, 2006 at 10:49 am

  After a bit of work, I got the plugin installed and, largely, working. It displays correctly in my sidebar, (at least in Safari and Firefox, my sidebar’s at the bottom of the page in IE, but that’s an entirely different issue), but it sadly displays an endless loading message no matter if I’m using the progress bar gif or not. I don’t get any errors

  I tried the scrobbler plugin, which seems to work fine, but doesn’t display album art like your beautiful EZ-Scrobbler, so I’d be quite excited if I could get EZ-scrobbler working, and since I seem to have a problem that hasn’t been addressed yet, I thought I’d go ahead and see if anyone could suggest a solution.

  If you want to have a look, my wp installation is up at alyssa-andrew.com. Be gentle. My interweb programming skills are lacking.

• 12 brink // Oct 5, 2006 at 11:04 am

  Hrm… WEll I can tell you exactly what the problem is, and it’s something I thought i’d fixed.

  Basically, IE and FF have some security features such that you malicious users can’t execute scripts embeded in your site to hit another website.

  The problem with this is that my plugin on your site thinks it’s hitting http://www.alyssa-andrew.com, when the link you provided has no ‘www’. It’s silly, but it’s apparently prevalent among many scripts and plugins. If you check your site witha www., the plugin works.

  So… there are several options. 1) is for me to find a better way to test for that sort of thing and act accordingly.
  2) Is to tell wordpress that there’s no www in your url. Though that means the problem will crop up for people who do type in the www.
  3) Have your site always redirect to either www or no www.

  Anyway, in themeantime I’ll poke aroudn at this code and try to fix it. I apologize for the problems.

• 13 Andrew // Oct 5, 2006 at 7:34 pm

  Thanks so much. I found a some nifty code to put in my .htaccess that will redirect people from alyssa-andrew.com to www.alyssa-andrew.com, which solves the problem nicely. I might aesthetically prefer the web address without the www, but since I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing with mod_rewrite, I’m just thrilled that my webserver didn’t explode.

  Thanks so much for helping me fix this.

• 14 Rob // Oct 6, 2006 at 8:12 am

  Hi. Your plugin functionality seems to be just what I need, but I too am having some problems.

  I’ve installed the plugin but it constantly shows me a “loading…” dialogue within my blog. Actually, it shows this text 2x. I even pointed to your loading image file but it only displays the display options (recent, etc.).

  Any ideas? My host offers PHP 4.4.2 and I have WP 2.0.2 installed.

• 15 brink // Oct 6, 2006 at 8:30 am

  Looking at your site, it appears you’re having the same issue as the previous poster — namely, for ajax stuff you essentially have to use either www.domain.foo or domain.foo, but not both. This is something you can set with your provider. Wordpress also has a setting in to specify “this is the blog’s url”.

  As for the loading image thing, that’s a little odd. I may have typoed something. I’ll poke around with that, but I’ll be out of town this weekend so it’s going to be more like sunday at the earliest when I have an idea of what’s going on.

• 16 Rob Fay // Oct 9, 2006 at 10:26 am

  brink,

  Thanks - I think I’m all set now. I got it working, including the “loading” image. Now, is tjhere a proper place I can add a break so there’s more space between the list options and the actual music list? I’d also like to tweak the font that’s used for the list options…

  andrew, can you share the code redirect snippet because I’ll need to mofidy my .htaccess as well?

• 17 Rob // Oct 12, 2006 at 6:15 am

  brink,

  Do you happen to know code I can put into the .htaccess file so that www or no www still redirects any user to the www address?

  Thanks.

• 18 brink // Oct 12, 2006 at 10:37 am

  Yeah, sorry. Let me see if I can get a quick and dirty example in here…

  To remove a www, put the following in a .htaccess file at the root of your web directory. Substituted your domain for domain and com/org, etc for ext:

  RewriteEngine on
  rewritecond %{http_host} ^www\.domain\.ext [nc]
  rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://domain.ext/$1 [r=301,nc]

  Alternately, if you want to ADD a www, do this:
  RewriteEngine on
  rewritecond %{http_host} !^www\.domain\.ext [nc]
  rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.ext/$1 [r=301,nc]

• 19 Marty // Oct 15, 2006 at 7:18 am

  Hey there - great plug in but I have one slight issue - I get a lovely unknown runtime error when using IE - the error occurs at scrob.innerHTML = response; It works fine in FF, but IE seems to throw this - any thoughts? Cheers, Marty

• 20 Marty // Oct 15, 2006 at 7:33 am

  Ooh I’ve found a solution to my problem.
  myDiv = document.createElement(”div”);
  myDiv.innerHTML = response;
  thisScrob.innerHTML = ”;
  thisScrob.appendChild(myDiv);

  Not sure why it has been happening, but this has fixed it and it works now in both IE and FireFox

• 21 Zach Attack // Oct 16, 2006 at 9:14 pm

• 22 lausse // Oct 23, 2006 at 8:36 pm

  Having the same problem as Rob (6th Oct). If I use the plug - it dublicates the content of the whole site. Again and again and again. And it starts to duplicate it just before the “Last.fm profile”-link.

  Any ideas? I want to use this nice nifty plug - but til this is solved im stuck to Scrobbler.

• 23 brink // Oct 23, 2006 at 10:19 pm

  That’s really odd behavior… What theme are you using? I wonder if it’s some odd interaction with that or another plugin that I wasn’t aware of.

• 24 lausse // Oct 24, 2006 at 5:49 am

  Thanx for your concern! I tried to figure this out - but can not really nail it.

  The theme is called Emerson. And the plugs I use is: Aksimet, Audio player, Browser Sniff, Customizable Post Listings, Crazy Egg, Category Visibility-RH Rev, flickrRSS, Google Analyticator, Get Recent Comments, PhoneBlogz, WP-OnlineCounter, WP Movie Ratings, WPvideo, Pierre’s Wordspew and WP lightbox JS.

  Just before the site begins to repeat itself I get this mess:

  Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /usr/home/web/wse27612/aplausse/wp-content/plugins/ezscrobbler165/ez-scrobbler-files/ezscrobbler.obj.php:444) in /usr/home/web/wse27612/aplausse/wp-content/plugins/wordspew/wordspew.php on line 35

• 26 hhggrr // Nov 15, 2006 at 2:32 am

  Mine is not working. Checked every recommendation you gave. It shows Nothing current but went to http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/hhggrr/recenttracks.txt and had info in it. Any help wpuld be appreciated

• 27 Julia // Nov 15, 2006 at 6:06 am

  Luuuuuv your plugin. Especially the album art feature.

  One thing I noticed because I use XHTML and want my page to validate. It won’t valicate because HTML tags are not allowed in JavaScript code (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8).
  Now this can be helped either by adding these CDATA tags (as recommended in the link ) or if you wrap your code in comments.
  Thanks again for this great plugin and keep up the good work.

• 28 brink // Nov 15, 2006 at 7:58 am

  Roman: I updated the table creation to no longer have that DEFAULT NOW attribute. I’d actually changed that once before, but it appears I inadvertantly backdated the file during a bug fix. I apologize. Everything should be hunky dory for you, now.

  Julia: Thanks for the heads up… Yeah, I’d realized that at some point last week. I just haven’t had a chance to get in there and monkey with it. I plan on doing some development on it this weekend, seeing as how last.fm has updated some things with the weekly track charts. Hoping to get some new features in here, soon

• 29 brink // Nov 15, 2006 at 10:04 am

  hhggrr: I”m not sure what to tell you. It looks like it’s making the correct calls. It’s pasted correctly, as well.

  If you look at the actual plugin’s output, it’s not returning anything. THe only things I can think of are:
  1- the last.fm username is not set correctly
  2- Last.fm is blocking your IP for some reason
  3- phpnet.us does not allow socket calls from scripts.

  I don’t know what else to say, sorry yo.

• 30 Tom // Nov 19, 2006 at 7:21 pm

  On my EZ Scrobbler Settings window I have this error message:

  WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” )’ at line 5]
  CREATE TABLE wp_ezscrobbler_cache ( id int(11) PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, cache_type varchar(255), xml_data text, last_updated datetime’ )

  On my blog I have the recent, albums, etc links showing but nothing happens when they are clicked. Where the tracks should be showing just has “Loading…” instead. However my Last.fm profile works fine.

• 31 brink // Nov 19, 2006 at 8:09 pm

  I am really sorry.. I uploaded a fix previously and had a stray quote. I’ve corrected this and reuploaded, everything should be good to go. I’m sorry, yo.

• 32 Peter // Nov 29, 2006 at 3:03 pm

  Hi.

  I got this to work on my previous blog, but this time it bugs me! When reading the error msg that IE 7 gives me, it says “Permission denied”. I really have no idea whats left to check. I have put into my sidebar.php file and have added the scrobbler-function to the header.php file inside the tag. It keeps saying loading and then after a few seconds the loading changes and IE 7 shows an errormark in the bottom-bar.

  Any idea what can be wrong?

• 33 Peter // Nov 29, 2006 at 3:04 pm

  - correction to above post:
  This is what I’ve put into the siderbar.

  ?php
  get_scrobbler();
  ?

  Had to remove the due to the comment-system.

• 34 Peter // Nov 29, 2006 at 3:11 pm

  Okay. I’m usually not a spammer, but after a more careful review of the previous comments I can see, that the problem is those d*mn www’s. My site works perfect with http://ipede.dk but not with http://www.ipede.dk. I have tried to make the .htaccess file, but it still bugs me. Can somebody please tell me exactly what I should write in the .htaccess file when my domain is ipede.dk.

  Thanks

• 35 Peter // Nov 29, 2006 at 7:04 pm

  Okay. Now it works. It kept giving me errors when I used the .htaccess files from ttp://fleshy.org.nz/yum/archives/593. Instead I tried the suggestions from a comment above and now it works fine.

  Thanks for a nice and well documented plugin.

• 36 Peter // Dec 2, 2006 at 6:48 am

  Hi .. again.
  I’m sorry to keep posting here and to be honest I’m not sure if anyone even reads what I write. I still have a problem with this plugin.It works fine with Firefox but not with Internet Explorer. What can be the problem?

• 37 Andy // Dec 5, 2006 at 3:29 am

  Hi there, I got up today, visited my blog and found database errors with this otherwise fantastic and much-appreciated plugin. I found I could only resolve them by deleting the plugin, the files folder for the plugin and the references to it in the database table. Then I had to reinstall completely.

  I won’t provide the long list of error stuff, just the beginning will hopefully give you some inkling as to what went wrong…? Here goes:

  [Can’t open file: ‘wp_ezscrobbler_cache.MYI’ (errno: 145)]
  SELECT * FROM wp_ezscrobbler_cache WHERE cache_type = ‘albums’ ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 2

  WordPress database error: [Can’t open file: ‘wp_ezscrobbler_cache.MYI’ (errno: 145)]
  INSERT INTO wp_ezscrobbler_cache ( cache_type, xml_data, last_updated ) VALUES (’albums’,’

  The only thing that happened in the night was that the site was automatically backed up - and, of course, received visitors, some of whom left comments.

  Any idea what went wrong? And how to prevent it happening again? At least for now I know what I have to do to put it right but it’s admittedly a pain to have to wipe and reinstall the plugin from scratch to such an extent. And I love this plugin! x

• 38 Andy // Dec 5, 2006 at 3:32 am

  I forgot to add, been running the plugin for about three weeks now and no other new plugins added or switched on or off in that time. I do database backups every 24 hours, and had to insert redirect into my htaccess from spicycauldron.com to www.spicycauldron.com initially to make the plugin work. The revised htaccess is still intact and unchanged from when I made the revisions. x

• 39 brink // Dec 10, 2006 at 8:33 am

  Man, I really don’t know what’s going on. That’s really odd behavior. I wouldn’t think a db backup would cause problems, unless the backup does something crazy like try to recreate the database structure after dumping the data.

  It’s also kind of weird that it worked for three weeks, then stopped.

  What version of the plugin are you using? Is it the latest and greatest one? There was an old bug that kept old data from being deleted — but that was from several months ago and only about 5 people downloaded that version.

• 40 Trevor // Dec 15, 2006 at 6:35 pm

  First, I think this plugin is great and very professionally done. I find the output works fine in firefox, but in IE7 using the default settings I find that AJAX doesn’t refresh. I have to change the IE7 settings to “check for new version of page every time” for it to refresh in real time. Is this just how IE7 treats ajax by default or is there a work around?

• 41 brink // Dec 15, 2006 at 6:56 pm

  Yeah, I’ve recently run into problems with IE7 in general (at work and such)… I’m currently trying to figure out everything that breaks. It’s probably related to security settings.

• 42 brink // Dec 24, 2006 at 4:32 pm

  So, it actually works for me under IE7. I can’t determine a specific security setting that causes it to not work…

  I will say that in the past two weeks I’ve run across situations where the IE7 settings transfer from IE6 actually was the culprit. It corrupts security settings and makes a lot of things just not work. I really don’t have any control over that, so I don’t know what one can do. At the very least, if it doesn’t work in IE7, that instance of IE7 is probably having problems with other sites, too.

  Try going into the security settings and privacy settings and resetting and resetting to the default level. That’s been the solution for a lot of problems we’ve had at work, recently.

  (and it’s stupid, because a lot of times the reset doesn’t actually change anything, it just seems to uncorrupt something in IE. Really retarded )

• 43 Richard Flynn // Dec 30, 2006 at 11:11 am

  Is there any way we could have it so that you can pass the display variables from within the template tag itself? I’m interested in using this plugin in multiple places on my site, with just a few (say, three) tracks listed as a summary on my home page, but listing more recently-listened-to tracks elsewhere. It could function so that the Plugin Options page can provide the defaults for when you just call get_scrobbler().

  What I’m thinking of would be something along the lines of get_scrobbler($number_of_tracks, $formatting_variables, $show_artwork, $before, $after). I’ll just say now that I know how to hack these things but can never write this stuff! So perhaps what I’m suggesting would be impossible.

• 44 brink // Dec 30, 2006 at 11:24 am

  I think that may be possible. I’ll have to review things, but I think I could add s some variables to make that functionality work. I’ll see what I can do, but it’s going to be next week sometime cause I’m out of state on vacation, right now

• 45 dan // Jan 7, 2007 at 10:02 am

  got a “Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class listen_instance in /home/koening/www.roninarts.de/htdocs/wp/wp-content/plugins/ez-scrobbler-files/ezscrobbler.obj.php on line 16″ !

  does anybody know whats going on? Thank you very much!

• 46 brink // Jan 7, 2007 at 12:06 pm

  that’s a little odd… what other plugins are you using?

• 47 dan // Jan 7, 2007 at 7:31 pm

  mmh, quite a lot … good idea, i disabled all and turn them one after another … no change wp 2.0.6, php 4.3, apache … maybe file permssons or somthing or special php-module via apache?!? thank you very much !

• 48 Jared // Jan 17, 2007 at 1:19 pm

  Hello! I love the plugin, it is perfect for what I use it for. I did notice today that wp_ezscrobbler_cache 14,979 items and 37.5 MB. I have my cashe number at 30 seconds. I was wondering if in your next version there would be a function to autoprune the cashe after say a day or week, or a number set by the admin options?

  Thank you!

• 49 Alfredo // Jan 20, 2007 at 3:51 am

  Thanks for the plugin! Bookmarked it now and will add it to my blog soon

• 50 mark // Jan 23, 2007 at 12:18 am

  trying to incorporate now on my blog using wordpress 2.0.7, i will let you know if i found some bugs, thanks for this plug-in

• 51 gio // Jan 23, 2007 at 11:05 pm

  hi there, i tried to install it but keep on getting this error:

  WordPress database error: [Invalid default value for ‘last_updated’]
  CREATE TABLE wp_ezscrobbler_cache ( id int(11) PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, cache_type varchar(255), xml_data text, last_updated datetime DEFAULT ‘NOW()’ )

• 52 gio // Jan 28, 2007 at 7:11 am

  thanks for sharing the plugin. i’ve just bookmarked it now and will try later.

• 53 chunk // Feb 27, 2007 at 5:00 am

  I have got a problem with the plugin, it works great on domain.whatever/ but not www.domain.whatever and I altered the general options. I tried the .ht… correction with no luck. Would there be a reason a www.domain.whatever would have a problem on a windows box instead of a *nix box?

• 54 brink // Feb 27, 2007 at 9:23 am

  That’s odd. Is it apache running on windows?

  There may be a logic error in how the javascript determines the domain, which is based off what wordpress says is the url of your site and what the server says the url is for what you’re actually viewing.

• 55 drinker // Mar 29, 2007 at 11:45 am

  This is a great plugin - and easy to configure. Thanks for sharing it!
  One question though - when I load it into my page, the progressbar loads, and then a second copy of my page opens in the sidebar where the track info should be. Is there a conflict with the theme, or do you think something’s looping somewhere? Thank you for your help.

  PS I think lausse back in October was having a similar issue but I don’t know if/how it was resolved.

• 56 Marcel // Apr 17, 2007 at 4:19 am

  First of all, great plugin and thanks a lot for sharing this. I have tried a few others but I like this one the best.

  However, I do have an issue I would like to solve. In a default IE7 I cannot get the plugin to work.

  I have tried to add either:

  and

  in my sidebar. It will result in a unknown runtime error. (whilst telling me it is loading)

  My goal is to make it work in any situation, I know that lowering security levels might work but I am looking for something better

  It works fine in firefox. I have noticed by visiting a couple of other sites of people who commented that most of them are not working in IE7 either… But the one on this site works… so you might have a hint for me maybe.

  Take care !

  Marcel.

  love the plugin!

  just one thing - is there a way to tweak the date format to something more readable like “xxx minutes ago”?

  It wotks great, except for an exception:

  Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/yorokobu/public_html/rubs/wp-content/plugins/ezscrobbler165/ez-scrobbler-files/ezscrobbler.obj.php:444) in /home/yorokobu/public_html/rubs/wp-content/themes/barthelme/404.php on line 1

  any idea how to solve it?

  Hrm. I’m guessing that the 404.php file referenced in the error has a newline at the very top or something like that. Not knowing what the structure of your theme is, it’s sort of hard to say.

  Do you get this error from any page you put the scrobbler on, or just the 404 page? Just trying to determine if the code is throwing a 404 or if it’s just a problem with the 404 page.

  I get this error from any page I put the scrobbler on.

  It’s quite strange because if I quit the first line from the 404.php (which is ) it shows me the 404.php page inside page I’m browsing (as a frame).

  On the other side if I do not quit the line it shows me the error too.

• 63 brink // Aug 14, 2007 at 10:26 am

  I don’t know what you mean by 404 all day long.

  Hi, lovely plugin - much nicer than having a last.fm widget cluttering up the site. I have a question, though, which I should preface by saying I’m a complete ignoramus when it comes to coding. I was looking through my site error logs today and discovered the following message several hundred times:

  [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ez-scrobbler-files/progressbar_dot.gif

  Now I know the file exists, because it does actually appear in the plugin. I also know it’s not at the location given in the message because that’s not where WordPress is installed. Clearly it isn’t a major issue, but I was wondering what was causing it to look in the wrong place, as well as the right one, and whether there’s something I can “turn off” in the code to stop it doing so.
