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

It does'nt fix my issue.
I've found a workarround.
If you change the User-Agent used in HTTP queries, it seams to work.

Now, I've a new issue.

When I send a request to the groovshark API.
The response is :

{"header":{"hostname":"RHL061"},"result":{"StreamKey":"","url":"","StreamServerID":0,"uSecs":0,"warning":"Not provisioned for production use."},"errors":[{"code":102,"message":"User must be VIP."}]}

I don't understand why it said that User must be VIP.
I've suscribed to the premium service.

So, it works with your version 1.0.0 and my workaround. Thanks

Version 1.0.1 probably does not have the right key...

I'm glad it is working for you but please tell me which version of XBMC and OS you are using so I can try to do a permanent fix that can be used by other people.

Thx for you great job!

I use Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-14-generic x86_64) with XBMC 10.1.
I use libpython2.7 (2.7.2-5ubuntu1) to compile XBMC.
Your script works only with Python 2.4 because you use the lib useragent to talk with Google App. If you want fix it permanently you can maybe force with your own useragent.

I've another question, when you switch of track in a playlist. It has a short load time with blank sound. Do you think it's possible to pre load the next track to fix it ?

Thanks for that. I changed the Google app engine to except Python 2.7. You might want to try now with version 1.0.2 (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project...-1.0.2.zip).

I'll look into pre-loading the next track but you might want to try the tip under "FAQ" at http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=74474 .
