New streaming protocol notice:

[MrBryan]

I'm assuming I got this because of shell-fm:

We're writing you to let you know that there will soon be a change to Last.fm radio that may affect you. Our stats show that you've listened to radio through an application that uses our old streaming protocol. On 1 December we will deprecate this old protocol, so in some applications radio will no longer work.

If you would like to continue enjoying Last.fm Radio, consider upgrading to a new application or using http://www.last.fm/listen

Thanks, The Last.fm Team

It seems to have gone out to me as well, I only use the website and shell-fm so stands to reason some breakage will be coming.

Admittedly I only spent a little time trying to research it but I would really like to know what exactly is changing. Is there a summary somewhere?

[MrBryan]

I dug around a bit, too and couldn't find anything. Wonder if they're planning to close it off to only their platforms.

The new API is described here: http://www.last.fm/api/ I'm working on the implementation, however this is quite a piece of work as it is rather complex compared to the old simple plain text requests/responses, includes a lot of XML/JSON parsing etc. I hope I can find time to work on it this weekend, but I can't promise that it'll be finished by Dec 1st. Sorry for that.

Anyways nice to hear, that shell-fm is still alive.

thanks for working on this.

Here's the branch for testing: https://github.com/jkramer/shell-fm/tree/api-v2

I'm closing this issue now. If you find problems with the new version, please create separate issues for them.
