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

Hi solver,

It would be much better just to return the stream URL but I haven't worked out how to do that .

The URL is a POST with the streamkey as data. Passing only the URL to setResolvedURL() doesn't work - it needs to post the streamkey too.

Stephen.

i have just tried your plugin and i really like it, there is just a little feature that is missing:
I usually dont make too many playlists myself but i follow my friends and added their playlists. Those playlists are visible when i listen to grooveshark via browser but your plugin just shows my own playlists is there any way to change this?

You can do it like this in getSongURL:

Code:

postData = {"streamKey": self._lastStreamKey}
postData = urllib.urlencode(postData)
url = "http://" + self._lastStreamServer + "/stream.php?" + str(postData)
return url

Many thanks. That works fine. (For some reason I thought I tried that before and it didn't work ). Anyway, I have done the update and now the songs load much quicker:

BTW, any news from Grooveshark about the new webservices API?

Stephen.

I think there is. I will try to add it.

...that is, other users playlists.

Stephen.

i dont know if this is a known issue but the plugin wont let me sign in
i know my info hasnt changed cuz the script still works for me

Which version are you using? You probably need 0.2.1 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-gro...p/download).

@solver
So, what hapened to your addon? The API changed? Do you plan on fixing yours or simply working on denhams? Your old one loaded stuff *so* much faster and the layout was much better.

@denhams
Thanks for this, it is a good substitution while solver's is unavailable. Do you plan on addon it to the xbmc addon repo for easy updating?

Thanks

The Moovida media center had a web service that I used to gain access to the grooveshark API. Unfortunately that was shut down a couple of weeks ago and the addon stopped working. Grooveshark's promised me a key for their new API but I haven't received it yet. As soon as I do, Denhams and I, will start working on a new API. So it'll be back eventually.

Not yet. I'll drop them a line or two tomorrow to see if I can't get an ETA
