The partymode script does not have a menu, it runs in the background (once started) and add tracks (silently) to the now playing playlist.
You could post the xbmc.log or excerpts from it, where it states any error info.
Do you see a progress bar when you start playing a track?

Tried the script, it partially works. It ads new tracks but keeps adding the current playing track on top of the list. This results in repeating the track over and over again.
At the bottom of the playlist the new tracks are there though.
Keep up the good work!

This is a great idea, I will be checking it out this weekend.
I wish there were more XBMC music plugins that intigrated more with your local music, last.fm and other music services
I'd love to rate my songs that then updates my local files ID tags and last.fm library.
One feature that would be good is to switch between playing local files or last.fm songs or a mix of both.

Just installed it and the script works great.
One little thing I noticed is that I suspect the script has trouble picking up certain characters. For example the script came back with no results for "Iron & Wine" when I know for sure this artist should come back with results in Last.fm

Ok, I think I got it. A little urlencoding should do the trick.
New zip files and code has been uploaded.

Brilliant work! Love it, love it, love it. One request though. Since this is a music addon, would it be possible to put it into the addon section of music and not programs? Usually I don't even have the program section on my home screen of xbmc.
I'm using some remotes for my ipod touch and something really strange happens. With every program only the path of the songs of the generated playlist is displayed but not the names of the songs. It's as if the information of the contents of the playlists comes from the files section and not the music library. Hard to explain but I hope you get what I mean.

The party mode really slows down my network connection somehow. I'm using a remote for my ipod and the party mode makes the wireless connection from the remote to my pc almost non respondent. My bluetooth connection to the pc is not affected. I have another remote using a bluetooth connection and I can use that remote just fine. Cpu load is fine, it's just the network connection that slows down.
Can anyone confirm this?
Using xbmc 10.1 on windows vista

it does what it should.
but i have this strange "file/library", too.
No fanart is displayed when using this script.
It is not a big problem, but i would like to know, why the fanart isn't displayed?

I just love this script - specifically the partymode version. Finally we have a slick "genius" like solution for XBMC.
Thanks so much.
One minor problem I'm experiencing though:
If I run the script once it works fine - I get the "select a song to start playlist generation" message as expected and everything is great.
However if I then restart my PC and launch the script again I get a message saying "Are you sure you want to exit partymode".
If i click No and then proceed to select a song, no last.fm playlist is auto generated.
Instead I have to click "Yes", and then re-launch the script in order for it to work as expected.
Is this something you are aware of? I can post a debug log if necessary.
Thanks again for the awesome script!
I'll keep you posted
