last.fm : 'XML not UTF-8 encoded!'

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

The 0.10 version of mpd-sima seems to be broken with last.fm,
The following error is shown in the log file: WARNING last.fm module error: 'XML not UTF-8 encoded!'

[H.-Dirk Schmitt (dirk-computer42)]

For me the following solution is working (on trusty).

1. Using the mpd-sima package 0.13 (intended for jessie) from http://codingteam.net/project/sima
2. Use the python3-musicpd backport available in the c42-backport ppa

The python3-musicpd can be backported from vivid to trusty without any change. The package in missing in trusty, so no other conflicts can be introduced.

Here is a fix for 0.9.2 and 0.10.0 version.

Find simafm.py on your system:

    dpkg -L mpd-sima | grep simafm.py

get in the same directory and patch the file:

    patch -p5 < patch

Cheers
