[RELEASE] Grooveshark (Script) Music Addon

PantsOnFire was kind enough to share his new skin for the script which you can get here: http://code.google.com/p/grooveshark-for...p&can=2&q=

Note: Go a page back in the thread if you wanna try the beta in svn

Hi Solver,
thanks it works well, and not so slow with the art download. one thing though, please change the path definition syntax to "\" separators instead of "/" in groovegui.py since it messes with the GUI in xbox, and i think it doesnt make a difference in other platforms (at least not what i have seen in win xbmc).
thanks

It does make a difference because \ is an escape character, meaning it is used to enter special characters which can't always be typed (ie. \a for a bell (ascii value 7)). You can get around this by either escaping every \ character such that they all look like \\, or prefixing the string with r (r"This is a string"). However, the *nix standard path separator is a /, and while for the most part modern systems will accept either interchangeably, there are some cases (ie. the Xbox) where the system requires it to be one way or the other.

The best way to insure comparability with all systems is to not hard-code a path separator, but instead use the value of os.sep, or better yet call os.path.join() with the pieces of your path and it will automatically insert os.sep between each.

Here is my contribution to a great script

Hi Cool_bombom,

It looks fantastic! Do you mind if I put it in the download section on my project page? Labeling you as the author of course...

It's code that needs a clean-up and after that you shouldn't have problems on your xbox. I am, however, a little pressed for time at the moment so be patient ;-)

Hi Solver,
sure, no rush! it works perfectly after changing the path separators.
one of the scripts i use most, together with gmail check and navi-x...

Cool Bombom, liking your skin contributions there! Prefer it to mine.
Great to hear solver will add it to his project page. One thing came to mind tho.. Solver's recent post showed a PM3-style layout including 4 or 5 song items on screen. Will you (solver) be keeping this style from now-on? With bomboms up looking as nice as it does, maybe you could combine the two?

How are things going in the script btw? Hope all's well.
cheers.

is there anyway to make this script see more then 20 playlists?
