[RELEASE] Rdio Music Addon

@dallasnights, that's an odd one. Seems like a completely unrelated xbmc addon is causing Rdio to fail somehow. All I can suggest is that you open this file in a text editor:
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/script.module.protobuf/lib/google/__init__.py

And check to see if there are any spaces before the "__import__" statement. If so remove them. The file should have only a single line hard up against the left margin:

__import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)

Unfortunately it doesn't tell me anything except that Rdio thinks your password is incorrect (The text "password is incorrect" is lifted directly from the Rdio login page), which we know isn't the case as you've already quadruple checked it

Not too sure where to go with this one, but here are a couple of suggestions to start with:

• Quintuple check your password. Verify it directly in the Rdio config file by having a look at the contents of this file: <xbmc_home>/userdata/addon_data/plugin.audio.rdio/settings.xml
• Do you have any punctuation in your password? If so, perhaps try changing your Rdio password so that it only has letters and numbers, then change it in the Rdio XBMC settings and try again. Underscores or dashes should be OK, but stay away from any other punctuation, especially spaces, ampersands, greater/less than and single/double quotes.
  

Let me know how you go.

Checked, double checked and tried till my eyes bled. Nothing doing....
Created a new Rdio account and put that info into the setings.xml file and it works. I guess it just didn't like my account. Weird
Now plays great. Best audio addon for XBMC. Please never stop supporting this!!

That's bizarre. I assume you were able to log into the normal Rdio website with the same (old) credentials OK? Glad you got it working anyway, and glad you enjoy the addon!

you are a genius working great on ATV2 again, it was the Google Music Addon I was trying to get to work wierd

Thanks and keep up the great work!

Brilliant, happy its working for again for you!

Is there a way to create playlists and maybe play them in random or party mode with this addon? I notice a playlists option in the addon's main menu, but I can't figure out how to add songs to a playlist.

Is this something I can only do on the Rdio website, as with the Pandora addon I can only create stations outside of XBMC?

You can't add items to playlists... yet. The "playlists" option in the menu is only for browsing and playing your current playlists. You need to use the Rdio web UI to actually create/modify them. I'll probably look at adding this capability sometime though, but not sure yet how to do it so the user interface makes sense.

You can still play your playlist in random order though - just select the "shuffle" option in the XBMC player then start playing the first song in the playlist... the playlist should then play in a random order.

Minor release 1.3.5 pushed today. Update to use https to get playback info securely so as to protect the Rdio cookie. Thanks again to danmarwas for pointing this out.

Did a fresh install of XBMC on my netbook to try a portable option. Can"t install the repo now. Does the link need to be updated possibly?

EDIT : Never mind. It just took like 6 tries. Thanks for the update

OK. I'm having the same problem as before with login info.
Started a new Rdio account for my father and Installed XBMC with Rdio addon on his laptop and all works well.
Then, installed XBMC with Rdio addon on the PC in his den. Input the info in settings and he gets an error logging into Rdio.
It still works on the laptop, but not on the second PC.

Will send log if necessary, but I assume it will come out the same as the last one. This has to be an issue with the plugin or XBMC itself.
