While we wait for the new API key, I have done an interim version of the plugin that should work okay. Please see the post:

Thanks!

One Question...
Is it possible to start a song with the new JSON API.
If yes what would be the syntax of the URL?

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "XBMC.Play", "params": "plugin://plugin.audio.groove/some url", "id": 1 }

I had a quick look at the documentation for XBMC.play (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON_RPC#XBMC.Play) and it doesn't seem to except any parameters as you suggest above. I have never used the new JSON API so I could certainly be wrong.

It seems you could do it using Playlist.Add and then start the song using AudioPlaylist.Play. The url is "plugin://script.audio.grooveshark/?playSong=<grooveshark songid>". This is for my version of the plugin - denhams is different. Expect the url to change in the upcoming release. It might not work since I'm not sure that XBMC returns a valid handle for the python thread when called in this manner.

Hi solver,

thanks for taking a look.
You are right. There is nothing in the docs but topfs2 posted that it would work like this.

In the first step I would like to have a basic integration of grooveshark on my iPad.
I do the search of a song with the tinysong api and would like to start the url in XBMC. Will try if it works as soon as your Script will work again.

Also it would be interesting if I could use the part of your script which communicates with grooveshark as a commandline app. As Im not a coder but keen on having grooveshark on my iPad it would be nice if you point me in the right direction how to do that. I just started to learn some perl so dont have any python knowledge at all.

Tried to find a way to start a song with denhams plugin.audio.groove-0.2.1. but without success. I searched in the log and found the URL that plays the song but couldnt start the plugin playing that song with json.

But as you guys will start a joint venture it would be great if you have in mind controlling the plugin with json.

Thanks
Klaus

This version doesn't work for me.

I get an error upon launching the plugin.

THANKS!

Working good on the latest Nightly XBMC4XBOX

Tried the SVN build on my AppleTV2G, but i can't select any menu item.
Left, right, up down are working.

Update: Fix here

Hey guys,

I've completely rewritten the API to use groovewalrus. I've aimed at modularity so if Grooveshark decides to give me an API key then it should be "easy" to switch. Navigation in the script has undergone some changes as well. Mostly internally for my own sake. People reported some stability issues in the old script and I've tried to address that to the best of my ability. However, I think some of it is/was caused by the python interpreter not being to fond of running multiple scripts. I haven't seen the new version crash yet though.

There's still some functionality missing but I'm working on it.

Long story short. I'd like some beta testing before I ask for a pull. If you're up for it then grab the script from svn (see first post in this thread) and report back.

My graphics skills are lacking so if somebody feels like redesigning the new icons I've added then please do

Cheers,
Solver

Well done. I took a peak at the API in SVN and it looks pretty complete.
