I've got the script installed fine, but when it runs I get Error Code 2, ERROR on connecting to googlePages. Please, check your settings I'm definitely logged into gpages, with remember me on. I looked in the config file, and checked my cookie location, it seems to be found: $ENV{'HOME'}/.mozilla/firefox/vkuuxfit.default/ at that location, not the default one, but this doesn't change anything. I also tried going manually to the username.googlepages.com/upload-file-simple/username and I get told I have invalid user credentials. Is this anything to do with it? Look forward to hearing from you, thanks!
on the second url where i get the invalid authorization credentials, i mean pages.google.com/upload-file-simple/username not the one I put before.
OK, a bit more digging done, and going through the source of the gpages main page, it appears that the upload-file-simple page is now accessed with an authtoken passed via GET. As far as I can tell it stays constant within a session, so I tried appending it to the url in config.py, but still to no avail.
This is nice (haven't tried it though), but did you know, that Last.fm provides RSS feed automatically? You need only Last.fm account.
Happy you find this useful..^_^ Yes, I know about Last.fm service but haven't tried yet. The point is that music syndication from Last.fm only applies to the music you listen through Last.fm, if I am correct. Neither you can customize the links that will be linked to a song on the list, etc. I think it will be nice if there were a service on the net were you could store syndication files easily. Then you could have, for example, a list of the last songs you have listened to no matter what player or operating system you have used (Amarok from Linux, Windows Media Player from Windows, etc) Finally, I wrote this weekend a google gadget for consuming contents syndicated with Amarok Atom Syndication. The best thing is that is possible to set up a refreshing interval (10 minutes by default). You can take a look here: http://thebandarlog.blogspot.com/2007/10/amarok-atom-syndication-reader.html I submited it to Google Gadget repository but still waiting for the OK to see if they add it or not. I will feel very glad to share it with other users.
