kick my ass now and then and you’ll get what you want. Color attributes are already in asciio so that would allow one to look more like the output. I don’t know yet about the other attribue in ditaa. I have to decided f I support ditaa users, which would be the intelligent thing to do, or simply bypass it, possibly using it to render things but not allow any interaction.

There is a new, a year old, asciio that is not released yet. the GTK part has been separated from the rest, which will be re-written when I re-incarnate next, but I am pondering about a curses interface so one could create asciio diagrams directly in a terminal. What do you think about that idea?

Drop me a mail, that usually get things done.

Hi Nadim,

We had a slightly disjointed mail conversation in Nov 09 (I went off on holiday in the middle of it I think) but I basically just said what this post and subsequent comments have written in them.

Ping me if you add ditaa output to asciio – that would be v cool.

sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite

should sort you out.

The lastfm script, you mean this one? http://svn.strawp.net/scripts/firefly/mark_played_from_lastfm.php

I have it set up in cron to run every 30 minutes. You will need to replace the user name with your own lastfm user name (and put your own API key in there, possibly). The script will try to create the file “.lastfm_last_grab.php” in the same folder as itself, so that should be writable and you should have firefly_db.php either in the same folder, or somewhere in PHP’s include path (I have a ~/lib/ folder which php.ini can point to). When you run it, it will first take the largest list of songs it can from last.fm, then mark the date/time it did it (in .lastfm_last_grab.php), if it was successful, then only query what songs you’ve listened to since then.

For each song it will attempt to match it against a song in Firefly based on artist/title/album, then just artist/title if that fails and if the playcount is 0 will up it to 1. This could just be a simple increment, it’s just not how I have it set up.

Note that last.fm does some pretty robust cleaning on artist and track names, so if you’ve scrobbled “Who, The”, it will store and send back “The Who” and firefly won’t find a match in your database.

Let me know if you get it working.

Having tried lots of options, I am also using firefly to serve my music (mainly because it supports smartplaylists and universal play counts).

I’ve tried to use your scripts above, but I get the following error:

PHP Notice: Undefined property: FireflyDb::$db in /home/rupert/Documents/ruperts/Code/pl/firefly_db.php on line 15
PHP Notice: Undefined property: FireflyDb::$db in /home/rupert/Documents/ruperts/Code/pl/firefly_db.php on line 15

Not knowing anything about PHP, I am little lost. Any ideas, and dependencies I might be missing (this is on Ubuntu btw).

Also, care to tell how to use your lastfm playcount update script with firefly?
