I'm an addict when it comes to personal status messages in instant messenger protocols. I like to express thoughts, funny things (fortunes) and especially like to use the Now Listening feature. Which I've implemented differently than the Kopete media plugin, to suit my needs.
However, the script was only able to extract info from my favorite music player, Amarok. It couldn't show what I was playing when I was listening to my Last.fm.
Debian is not (yet) my number one Linux distribution, and because of that I'm not really familiar with the procedures to do things cleanly regarding packages.
Some time ago I tried to install the Last.fm Player on a Debian system.
This HOWTO describes briefly how to enable Last.fm Player support for the Konqueror webbrowser.
- Download the attached protocol file.
- Edit this file and edit the line with
exec=/path/player "%u"so that it points to your Last.fm player executable. Leave the %u part!
- Put the protocol file in ~/.kde/share/services
