Hi,

I tried creating a playlist from the tracks tagged as:

http://www.last.fm/tag/gta%20vice%20city/tracks

However the script wasn't able to parse the track data, intimating the layout may have changed:

Initializing...
Processing...
Done.
Processed 0 tracks. Added 0 tracks. Skipped 0 tracks.
Script took 6 seconds.
Tracks added to: null

Any ideas?

Hi stsquad,

Thanks for letting me know the script has a problem. I hope to take a look at this in the next couple of days and will let you know what I find.

Hi stsquad,

Hmm, I was able to create a playlist just fine:

Initializing...
Processing...
Created new playlist: 3iu6k_
Renamed new playlist to: usertest
Read 100 tracks.
Fetching track IDs...
Adding tracks...
Done.
Processed 100 tracks. Added 100 tracks. Skipped 0 tracks.
Script took 264 seconds.
Tracks added to: http://www.last.fm/user/maarten_gm/library/play...

Even with the "Add streamable tracks only" option enabled. Looking at the output you got, it looks like the script was unable to create a new playlist--that is, somehow the script broke while creating a new playlist.

So, a few questions for you to determine if there's a difference between our usage or settings:
1. a. What version of Firefox are you using? Are you on Linux?
1. b. Are you using the latest v1.13 of the script?
1. c. Are you using the latest Greasemonkey v0.8.20090920.2?
2. Did you select the first option ("Create a new playlist named:")?
3. What playlist name did you use? If it has non-alphanumeric characters, try using just one word to see if that goes through.
4. Do you have any proxy settings on your browser? Were you able to perform any other actions with this script?
5. Do you have the "Accept third-party cookies" box checked in the Firefox Privacy settings? (In FF3.5, it's at Tools->Options->Privacy->Custom settings for history.) This was an issue with one of my Netflix scripts; see http://userscripts.org/topics/13277 .
6. How many playlist do you have? Maybe there's a maximum number enforced by Last.fm and the script is not handling this correctly.

Looking forward to your answers!

Hmm, it seems to be working now. However I have since upgraded my Firefox from 3.0 to 3.5 using the Ubuntu PPA for Hardy Heron.

For reference:
1. a) FF3.5 (was 3.0) on Ubuntu Linux
b) Yes, the latest one on the userscripts site
c) Yes, I keep the pluging upto date
2. Both Create New Playlist and Insert into Exisiting
3. With spaces, e.g. "Vice City Music"
4. No proxy, hadn't tried the other features at the time
5. No, cookie safe with last.fm cookies enabled
6. 10

I suspect it may have been a problem with FF3.0 which is the only thing I've really changed between it not working and working. Anyway it's working now thanks. Fantastic script :-)

I'm glad to hear it's working now, and that you like the script!
