[RELEASE] Grooveshark (Script) Music Addon

dbuvid Wrote:Hey good job on this solver, it's really come along nicely. You might already be aware of this, but I guess the API method to get stream URLs doesn't always return an address, leading to your bugs for songs not playing.

I have a few ideas for a workaround and I'm also working on getting it to handle it more gracefully, like skipping to the next song instead of just stopping.

dbuvid Wrote:Also, I've actually not been able to get the script working on my Macbook, doing a search just makes XBMC hang; not sure what the issue is.

Could you post a log with debugging turned on in both the script and in XBMC?

dbuvid Wrote:Hopefully in the future Grooveshark can be added natively to XBMC, as I think the Grooveshark library alongside any local music stored on an HTPC could provide the ultimate music experience!

Agreed

fillidill Wrote:I've begun creating my own skin. Is there a way to make a permanent search function that is not using the built in search look of the skin? I really want the search to stay on screen all the time. Can it be done?

Hey fillidill and dominater01,

Your requests are related. I haven't found a way to add the search field with history directly to the skin which is what I wanted when I started writing the script. At some point I'll properly write a new class that can handle it but right now I'm concentrating on the cover art and making playback more stable.

I've PM'ed you.

Hi guys. How do you install this grooveshark script ?. i have been playing with this for weeks now :/.

i have installed a launcher which i also start firefox from. I have tried to make it from there, but with no luck at all . Any ideas ?.

thanks in advance

You can do:
(This is on Linux from your home directory)

- cd .xbmc/scripts/
- svn checkout http://grooveshark-for-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ Grooveshark
- Launch XBMC and go to Scripts
- Enjoy !

thank you very much.

Now i have the yellow grooveshark interface. But i new problem appeared.

i can't do anything in there. i can press the buttons but nothing happens. And after a while i get the message "ERROR Unable to get a new session ID. Wait a few minutes a..." thats the complete error message. do you know what could be my problem here ?.

i guess i also need tyo type in my account information somewhere under settings - but unfortunately i cant get in there.

Than you so much for your help .

There is a limit on how many new sessions that can be created per hour in the API. Wait 10 min. or so and try again. If that doesn't help please post a debug log with debugging turned on in settings in the script.

Hi everyone,

Not much has happened with the script these past few weeks I'm afraid but now I should have some spare time to add the script to the new add-on manager. So stay tuned and I'll get back to you when it has been added.

that's really cool to hear Solver! side-topic: did you see they just released a grooveshark app for android? The grooveshark's gettin the all-round love it deserves :-)

Thanks for the replies . i will try tonight again ...
