GrooveWalrus 0.212 Released

Okay, version 0.212 of GrooveWalrus is out. Nothing too interesting in this version.

- changed: moved the List Sifter tab code from gw.py to /main_tabs/ to make things a little more manageable
- changed: moved the Favorites tab code from gw.py to /main_tabs/ to make things a little more manageable
- added: created a new plug-in Mini-mode (Alt-M), that does a marginally better job of creating a mini-mode (anyone with some art skills might want to take another stab at it), I'm open to suggestions for improvements here
- changed: random background color (Ctrl-B) is now a color picker (lighter colors look nicer I think), future updates may allow you change the button background colors too

Scrobbling Incompatiblity

Submitted by mmhan on Thu, 04/08/2010 - 05:01.

Ever since I started using GrooveWalrus, I can't seem to scrobble from anywhere else anymore. Songbird, MediaMonkey, Last.fm's app all of them! And they won't show any error while scrobbling, it says the song was scrobbled, however, it never gets scrobbled.

Any idea why is that??

I just tried songbird, and it works for me. Is this at home or work? The ports may be blocked or redirected, if you're at work. I default (I think to avoid this), if you check Options > Last.fm and Scrobble Port is set to No Port, this may be the reason why GrooveWalrus works while the others do not.

You might be able to edit your hosts file to redirect whatever the domain is (post.audioscrobbler.com:80 to post.audioscrobbler.com) or something. Or come up with some other solution.
