I'm trying to get the Grooveshark website working from within my XBMC installation.
I want to load the Grooveshark website in the background and control it from my Android smartphone with the gsremote app and plugin for Grooveshark.
This way i can play Grooveshark music on my XBMC without the need of a Grooveshark account,i can use all the functionalities of Grooveshark, and ofcourse control it remotely
But ofcourse i've encountered some problems . Im running XBMCbuntu with a default install of Chromium, the gsremote plugin does not work with Chromium.
So i installed Chrome which is needed for the plugin to work correctly. But now it seems that i dont have any sound when running the Grooveshark website from Chrome. So there's my first problem, how come i have sound from within Chromium but not from within Chrome.
Then if it's possible to fix that, i have to figure out how to launch the website in the background while running XBMC. And then keeping the session on the website alive so it stays connected to gsremote service.
Hopefully there are some people who can join me in this quest
You can find the gsremote app and plugin on this website http://www.gsremote.com/
