Ok point taken. I admit I know of that problem for as long as I can remember, it stemmed from the fact that I copied your code and initializing differently than yours, thus a required variable wasn't initialized. But  I blamed it on it was over half midnight last night and I had a party before that . I'm a researcher in HPC and grid computing, we rarely care about these issues because we're most of the times also the end user. Heck this is my first time, writing that much js. For what it's worth I found a way to make it work like yours now from end user standpoint, in testing.

Also, I'm interested in what are the other problems you encounter when you came to the "shocking revelation" of nothing work before? A more descriptive comment will be very appreciated.

i've tried your fixed version and it seems to be working ok. one thing i've noticed is if you change last.fm accounts, the recent tracks and charts do update ok, but the name in the title does not (well not without a restart but i don't think that is acceptable as i mentioned above).

i suppose my real issue with the whole package and that's the requirement of having a "master" panel in your layout for everything else to work. i made all my scripts independent of each other but able to share last.fm credentials and update instantly to hopefully provide a seamless experience when using them. i think removing this functionality like you have is a backwards step.

admittedly, i haven't tried your lyrics (not interested) or scrobbler (foo_audioscrobbler is great) so i can't comment on those.

pack updated:

2011-01-29.1:
. Chart and Recent Track panels: Refresh panel titles when changing last.fm accounts
. Bio panel: Panel now acts like original marc2003's one when applying panel codes (no more gray out Update command when foobar is playing)
. Artist art panel: Some tweaks to work more seamlessly and friendly (auto refresh, on playback stop resets the panel to clean state so user can't access delete or open commands of previously played track artist)

Get it in the first post.

@marc:
I fixed the chart and recent track panel title issue thanks to you. As for why I chose to create a master panel: The reason was because when I started out, having a single file lastfm.js as library causing compiling taking longer and it does use more memory so I chose the centralize model with message passing to work around these two problems, work habit kicked in choosing efficiency over user friendly. I suppose I can split the lastfm functions out into their appropriate panels but considering how I use them and a lot have been using it ok (the download counter on mediafire is over 200), this is low priority for now.

About other stuffs, I myself do not use my lyrics panel, recent track and chart panels, they were simply written to learn how to code with wsh panel, wanted to improve lyrics panel with ability to auto-download lyrics for a while but I mainly listen to non-vocal stuff so it's low priority. The scrobbler started out as a proof concept to see how far I can go with last.fm api in wsh panels, in the end it's feature complete and now I use it instead of foo_audioscrobbler. Main advantage is I can skip scrobbling audiobooks, beside other advanced features. It was also written using the new last.fm api.

New release with some major changes:

2011-02-06:
. Master panel: a new panel that is the centre for last.fm functions and some others
. Master panel: new functions to download artist arts and resume on next foobar startup if foobar was closed during download operation
. Master panel: three state last.fm icon: gray - need username/API KEY; sepia - need secret key; red - everything's ok
. Master panel: external scripts folder is now created by the master panel script if it doesn't exist, user does not need to copy it on installation anymore
. Bio panel: now only a display panel
. Remove wget and any vbs external commands: no more unresponsive foobar when calling commands depended on these external program and scripts
. Settings, scrobble cache, and artist art download pool are now saved in wsh_settings under foobar profile folder so not to clog it up
. Some other tweaks and fixes that I can't remember...

Yesterday, I did a test by deleting my artist art cache and then juggle around my media library to test the new artist art retrieval code. After like around 40 artist arts downloaded, I see my foobar memory usage jumped from the normal 40MB to a "nice" 130MB, it seems like I turned foobar into an internet browser. Now with 8GB on my computer (4GB on my work computer), this is nothing that my computer can't handle but I find it unacceptable. Alas, making javascript code release object memories, specifically M$ ActiveX object memories, is something new to me and it took me a day with some frustration to hopefully rectify the issue. Memory usage still increases but at a rate far more slower than before. So here's a new release:

Changes:
2011-02-09:
. Artist art, bio, recent tracks, playing track info panels: Change the way they communicate with master panels, 50% less message passings
. Master panel: hopefully fixed the RAM usage issue
. Some other small tweaks...

i am getting this error when i try ti import lastfm_master.txt into the WSH Panel Mode:
"Scripting Engine Initialization Failed (Master panel, CODE: 0x80020101)
Check the console for more information (Always caused by unexcepted script error)."

How can i fix it?

Have you disabled Safe mode in foobar Preferences->Tools->WSH Panel Mod. I always forget to include this in the readme.

Ok i did that, and i was able to import the master script. I was able to log in, and now the last.fm icon in the center of the panel is red. I told it to download artist art automatically but nothing is showing.
I am also using Columns UI with this. And i have not copied the folder "playcount index data sync" into the foobar directory. Could that be the problem?

My wsh panel code

You have to import another two panels for that, the lastfm_bio and lastfm_artistart panels. Remember to check Delay Load for both of them.

Ok looking good so far. The panel is showing last fm info. Now i would really like to configure this panel so i can have tabs in order to switch from biography, charts and pictures (the same way as your configuration).  Anyway to do that?

My wsh panel code

Reply #114 –
In Column UI config, there's a tab called Layout to add Tabs UI element then you add my panels under. Exactly how to do that, I forgot as I haven't used CUI for a long time, you better ask in the appropriate thread for this, but search first as this information should be already answered.

I just had to add a Tab stack, and i was able to do what i wanted.
Thanks!

Changes:
2011-03-05:
. Master panel: fix a crash because of wrong logic when loading proxy setting
. Master panel: simplify the way this panel store and read config
. Master panel: fix a stuck when biography cache is out of date with refresh artist art enabled
. Master panel: change timeout time to 30secs
. Misc changes...

Installation instructions:
1. foobar2000 Preferences -> WSH Panel Mod -> Uncheck Safe mode
2. Import lastfm_master panel (this panel must be present for everything else to work)
3. Import any other panel you like into your theme. Remember to check Delay Load for every one of them
4. (Optional) If user uses playback info sync (between computers) feature with winscp, put upload.bat inside a folder included in your PATH environment variable, a download.bat and a Vista/7 schedule task xml are also provided. You need to modify them to work under your environment

Existing user information for updating:
. Turn off foobar
. Copy wsh_lfm_scrobble_cache.txt and wsh_dl_aa_pool.txt files from inside wsh_settings inside your foobar2000 Profile folder to foobar2000 Profile folder if they exist
. Start foobar and load up my new panels, do not start playback
. You need to enter your authentication information again (I'm sorry about this, this is the last time, read reason next paragraph)
. Delete wsh_settings folder inside foobar2000 profile folder
. Enjoy

This is likely the final version unless I definitely need to change something. I have ironed out any known quirks. Currently, I don't have enough spare time to do anything major for this.

And thanks for reviving my thread from its deep slumber. I have made quite a few updates to my panels in my setup for better stability, compatibility with WSH 1.5.0 and some new small features, so I might make a post-final release sometime later.

My wsh panel code

Reply #120 –
Please do post the new versions! I am using it and really look forward to adapted scripts!

Post-final release changes:
2011-12-11:
. Master, artist art, bio and playing track info panels updated to work with WSH Panel Mod 1.5.0
. Playing track info panel: Trackprogress bar tooltip
. Various stability fixes and might be some small features added that I can't remember

You will need WSH Panel Mod 1.5.0 for this release. Download at link in OP. I renamed the old release to lastfm_me_pak_old.zip.

In case something funky happens, just delete the scripts folder inside your foobar configuration directory, typically under %appdata%\foobar2000 and restart foobar2000

I can't, for the life of me, figure out what to put in for the last.fm secret!? It's driving me crazy. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
