If you have communication problems this will affect the addon too. But in your previously posted log, I didn't saw any errors, so I'm lost about your problem.

I'm now getting a "Remote Communication Server failed to start" error every time I open XBMC. Is this related?

Googling evinces that this error occurs when two plugins try and use the same port. Where is this set in the Google music plugin?

[foreverguest]

AFAIK we use standard https, port 443.

AFAIK we use standard https, port 443.

Any idea where the setting is for this?

[amwebby]

OK. I tried the YouTube plugin, which is working fine, after attempting to access Google Music and it failed. Reasoning that port 443 was now in use by the Google Music plugin I quit XBMC, cleared the cache and restarted. I opened the YouTube plugin and it worked fine. Then I tried the Google Music plugin and it failed but this time I actually got a "script failed" error message and the attempt to connect ceased instead of the endless "Working..." loop.

In the hope that the last log file showed nothing because the Google Music Plugin was still in a loop and this log file will at least show the failure of the script, here it is:

Yeah, it seems to be hanging when trying to login in Google Music account.

Here we can see it runs until fetching the device_id from account, which is one of the first thing it does when starting:

Code:

11:45:47 T:9902808  NOTICE: [GoogleMusic-0.8exp14] Trying to fetch the device_id

Four minutes later, it is stopped by xbmc, probably for inactivity:

Code:

11:49:50 T:9902808    INFO: Python script stopped

I'm don't know why it is hanging, do you use two factor authentication? does the addon ask for your credentials when starting?

Could you try to remove the folder 'script.module.gmusicapi' inside xbmc/addons folder, as it is not needed for the addon latest version, and we can be sure it is not interfering.

[amwebby]

I don't use two-factor identification and I entered my Google email and password in the settings and never get prompted to enter either. Mind you I omitted to enter them on first ever run and didn't get prompted then either.

Removed script.module.gmusicapi from /data/data/org.xbmc but it has made no difference.

[corpgator]

I tried it on the latest Gotham nightly last night and 13 is working fine.

[amwebby]

I'm wondering if I have fallen foul of Google's dictum that you may only deauthorise 4 devices a year.

Funnily enough my YouTube plugin failed last night. Something I rectified by copying the old settings.xml file into userdata/add_on_settings

I'm now wondering if copying any values from that into the Google Music plugin's setting file would help?

I have a similar feeling as 2 factor used to work on my raspbmc and it stopped working all of a sudden.
Since then I tried reinstalling, clearing cache, cookies, and enev removing googleapi doesn't help.

I now have exp14 installed and it is giving out 'invalid credential' message when it was trying to login prior to loading the library. Didn't prompt for the app specific pin.

I would be grateful if foreverguest can take a look at log below:

One weird thing I've noticed and it may be Android specific but, after each unsuccessful attempt to run this plugin my volume is set to 0!

[foreverguest]

crocodilezzz, the addon is failing to authenticate, have you generated an application-specific password?

[amwebby]

crocodilezzz, the addon is failing to authenticate, have you generated an application-specific password?

By application-specific I assume you mean Google Music. I haven't done that either and don't know how to do it.

[crocodilezzz]

crocodilezzz, the addon is failing to authenticate, have you generated an application-specific password?

upon reinstallation (I mean a fresh install of both raspbmc and the music addon)
the add on did not promt me for the app-specific pw upon first start which was very strange.

[foreverguest]

Application-specific password is only needed when you use two-factor authentication.

crocodilezzz, and then it failed with 'invalid credentials' again? and if you open the addon settings, the credentials are empty? and after you enter them? on the next boot they still there?

The addon settings should be stored in /home/pi/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.audio.googlemusic/settings.xml, please check if it is being created and has your settings.

[amwebby]

Ah. Thanks foreverguest. My usernane and password are stored in Settings.xml but no authorisation key or device ID, which is what I expected to see after looking at the YouTube plugin's setting file.
