• small update regarding last.fm integration – added an option to turn last.fm off (for those without internet connection) and made the last.fm request its own thread, so the application does not pause anymore during requests (which was annoying to say the least)

You can watch it right here or head over to Vimeo and download the original MP4 file in all its 100mb glory…:

Winter Vista in St. Albans

• this is a beta release before 0.17 to test the new last.fm features
• added a last.fm tab that display artist information and the album cover of the currently played song
• added mini cover in trackinfo
• added setting to hide trackinfo and statusbar (change it for the current session in the “view” menu, or save the setting in your Settings tab)
• Note: the last.fm info that is returned from the receiver is somewhat unreliable and often incomplete, so you may need to refresh the info with the refresh button in the trackinfo – this can cause the application to seemingly hang while it’s grabbing the last.fm data.

As always, get it here.

• PAUSE (in ms) command added – certain actions take the receiver longer to react to than the standard Batch Delay time, so you can add some extra delay here
• Added Title/Artist/Album info to network controls – this will show ID3 tags, Internet Radio stations etc.
• Some minor layout changes to fit new labels

As always, get it here

OyRemoteCL has been updated to 0.2 as well, to include the PAUSE command.

Example:

oyremotecl.0.2.exe -ip 192.168.0.101 -port 60128 "MVL10,PAUSE2000,MVL20"

Add this to your website, for example to the header of your index.php:

<link rel="me" type="text/html" href="http://www.google.com/profiles/your.username"/>

your.username should of course be your google profile username.

In theory the next time Google’s search engine crawls your website, it should find this and add your page to your “connected sites” in your Google Buzz profile. As this can take a while, here’s a shortcut:

https://sgapi-recrawl.appspot.com/

Log in with your Google account (the one you use with Buzz) and tell it to crawl your site (you have to add that site to your list of sites in your profile first).

A bit convuluted, but should work in the end.

Edit: well, the post still has not made an appearance on buzz even though it’s almost an hour later. Looks like something is still off…
Edit 2: Works. Turns out it just took a while.

Note that especially the XML stuff constitutes a major change, so expect bugs (and please tell me about them!).

(also note that this does not affect OyRemoteCL – that one uses no configuration file at all)
