DAS v0.2 is out !

A few hours ago, I released the 0.2 version of DAS. I made official the support of Firefox 3.5 despite it was actually already working (but Firefox reject the extension as long as it’s not clearly specified), and the most important, I replaced the Deezer-v2 behavior with a v3-compliant one.

However, I have to apologize because this version has been made in a hurry. First of all, I am moving to Canada, and I may have no Internet access for a month or two, starting … tomorrow ! Additionally, since today, Deezer.com forces the use of its V3, then a compatible addon was compulsory. Anyway, it is working, but not the way I intended to, since I wanted to make some major changes in the code, in particular to support multiple grabbers et scrobblers.
You may notice something quite disturbing: the statusbar is updated only after about 35 sec after the song began. Actually, the HTTP transaction I am parsing to find out what is playing occurs in Deezer3 after a bunch of others, whereas it was at the very beginning before. But now, the title of your Firefox window changes to reflect the song played, and immediately, then I’ll try to use this behavior in the future (despite I still haven’t found any event thrown at a title change).

You’ll find this version on AMO as usual. It is still labeled as experimental, I’ll request a code review for the next version.

Have fun ;)

PS: for the few ones interested, here is an example of the server<->player communication catched :

DAS - a Deezer to Last.fm compatibility bridge

If, like me, you used Last.fm quite often to… well basically know what you listen and discover other things to listen but you are know more using streaming platforms like Deezer.com than regular music players, you may regret that there is still no compatibility between theses.

Then if you want an up-to-date Last.fm profile while using Deezer I may have something for you.
