Hey all,

I've set-up amarok to play last.fm streams by using the about:config entry

network.protocol-handler.app.lastfm = /usr/bin/amarok --queue

But it doesnt seem to work, so I've had to remove the --queue designation and just use "/usr/bin/amarok". This is a problem because now clicking on a last.fm link will clear my playlist.

Does anyone have any workarounds? I would much prefer to have last.fm links play immediately but preserve my current playlist.

Workaround

As a workaround, you can create a script that will execute amarok for you. protocol-handlers get the URL as the only parameter passed to the script. The following, if $DIR is in your PATH, should create a script that will do the job:

DIR=$HOME/bin # change to suit
cat <<'SCRIPT' > $DIR/lastfm
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/amarok --queue "$@"
SCRIPT
chmod +x $DIR/lastfm

Then update network.protocol-handler.app.lastfm = lastfm (or the full path, if $DIR's not in your path).

RJ said:
Type in "about:config" in the location bar
right click, select New --> String

name of string should be: "network.protocol-handler.app.lastfm"
value should be the path to your player executable, eg "~/Last.fm/player"

Thanks a lot. I'm really glad you posted this.

still problem

....protocol (lastfm) isn't associated with any program.

what exactly the value should look like?
firefox 2.0.0.20
windows vista

Why give away our secrets? Because if they stay secrets, we’re fucked.

Windows

On Windows, you actually have to change your registry, see:
Register Protocol (Firefox-Windows)
Only THEN it workes for me.
Hope this helps those still stuck!

Gah!

Bah gah! I added Palace:// protocol to Firefox, now can't find where it got registered. (*.*) It's not in about:config, search for "palace" or "app.palace" doesn't give anything.
I'm on Firefox 4 beta 8 Portable, Neither registry, nor config contain the handler.
