[RELEASE] Grooveshark (Plugin) Music Addon - An alterntive to the Grooveshark Script

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-groove/

This is a plugin, rather than script, based addon for Grooveshark.

I originally based it on http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-grooveshark/, which I think is now no longer being developed.

However, the API has been updated from the active project at http://code.google.com/p/grooveshark-for-xbmc/.

To avoid delayed start to playing, I would recommend using the DVD player as described in the FAQ section of this thread:

In case anyone is using this, I have updated it (v0.1.5 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-groove/) so that the songs directories are displayed much, much quicker.

Happy Christmas

Stephen.

Thanks for this Smile

I prefer the standard plugin interface to a custom script interface, so I appreciate this a lot.

Thanks for this plugin. I can search for a song and select it just fine, but when I pick one it plays a random track - not even in the list of search results!

That's strange. I am on holiday at the moment but will check as soon as I am back. In the mean time, you could try using the previous version 0.1.4 (perhaps I broke something in the latest).

Best regards,

Stephen.

Hmm, it seems to have fixed itself today. I just opened XBMC and did the same search as I did yesterday and it played fine. XBMC seemed to freeze while buffering, but that's not uncommon for my PC.

Thanks!

Hi,

excellent plugin! I found out your plugin after finding out the script available in the addons didn't actually work.

I only had to fix one thing, that is create a "thumb" folder in the related plugin userdata: without it, all searches failed, since the plugin couldn't save any thumbnail in the non-existing folder.

Apart from that, the only nit I could find was that the player window always says "stream.php" instead of the song being played, but that's just a minor thing.

Thanks for your great work!

denhams · 2011-01-07 14:06

Many thanks for your feedback on the plugin.

The "thumb" folder should be created automatically. In fact, I did a quick test on my (Ubuntu) test system and it seemed okay. Also, I couldn't create the "stream.php" problem. Are you using the latest version (0.1.5)? Which OS?

Best regards,

Stephen.

This dosn't work for me. Installs fine, i can configure it with my username but fails to open.

I attached the xbmc.log, if you need a full debug log just say the word.
