You have to use field names as they are specified on the wiki. Try Custom1 without the space.

I keep getting the message "Invalid field name was specified" when I use Custom 1?

New version (1.5) is now available to download from my website. I have added an option to show a toolbar button to trigger the script.

I have been playing with this script and have one small request. Any chance of getting a shortcut button for the toolbar?

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like you could accomplish this with an auto-playlist.

EDIT: I just re-read your post. I don't use a Radio DJ script, but I really like you idea. So here is how I set it up for my library. I set the Artist Top Tracks script to write to the Custom 3 field, which I labeled as "LastFM Rank." Then I told it to make an AutoPlaylist out of the artists top 3 ranked tracks. Here are my settings for the AutoPlaylist that I created.

Thanks for the idea, and I hope that helps you set it up.

I just discovered this script and I really like it! Thank you very much for developing it. I am going to give it a lot of use.

It's only working intermittently, so I wouldn't bother testing again just yet... http://status.last.fm/

Last.Fm is currently down, whilst the artist.getInfo webservice was working last night then artist.getTopTracks webservice was not. I haven't checked yet this morning, but it was giving 500 Internal Server Errors last night.

EDIT: I've just checked and it's working now. Try again, and if you're still not getting any results then try the debug mode to see what's going on.

This does not work in 4.0. Or these instruction are not complete. The app looks like it is working on the status bar but no values are returned to Custom 1 field. And yes I pasted the string exactly into the script.ini file and saved it.

Negative questions are a little confusing and I'm not really sure how to answer it directly. It worked for me yesterday though.

OK. So I'm running this script. But I am now wondering if it can do what I would like to do with the results? Which is create a playlist of the top 15- 20 ranked songs by each artist which would then act as an input the to Radio DJ script I use. So would I need to create a Magic Node somehow? If so, anyone have any ideas on how the sql would go? I am not a SQL programmer at all.
