Make sure you don't set the timeout for the connection and https calls on windows should work.

Thanks. I don't think I am setting a timeout (unless it is done automatically). The code is:

Code:
req = urllib2.Request(url)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
result = response.read()

Works fine in Mac and Linux but not Windows. I did a wireshark capture and everything stops after the client gets a certificate/key exchange complete. Strange.

Ah, that might not work. I think it runs a different version of Python.

Can I run this pluggin on an Apple TV 2gen? is it just for paid accounts?

Oops. I was setting a timeout. I removed it and now it works okay for Windows too. New version at:

I haven't tested it myself on Apple TV 2gen but give it a go and see what happens. And, yes, you need a Grooveshark Anywhere account.

Problem login account - tonisc - 2011-09-08

Hi

I have a free account of grooveshark and I try the Grooveshark script and works find. I can log with my account, but, with this pluguin, I always obtain the same error: "check the username and password".

Why the GrooveShark pluguin works with my account and doesn't work with this pluguin?

Thanks a lot

Toni

The plugin version uses a new API recently released by Grooveshark. Part of the agreement to use that API was that only Anywhere account users could listen to music.

The script version uses a different API.

I didn't want to infringe the Grooveshark T&Cs (http://www.grooveshark.com/terms).

I really like this grooveshark plugin, especially because I can run it remote from my ipod. Recently the performance for loading my playlist became very slow and sometimes ending in a complete freeze. The script version runs ok (but i miss my remote). Any idea?

First check you have the latest version 0.6.3. Also, you can try reducing the songs per page setting. About how many songs do you have in your playlist?

I will be trying to make some performance improvements in the next release.

Stephen.

Stephen,

Thanks for your fast reply. Yes I'm running 0.6.3 and reducing the songs per page to 70 helps a bit in loading, but it still takes long and I need to run twice.

For a couple of months ago it seems to be much faster and the script version has also a much better performance. Is this related to the new API you had to use?

Rg,
Olaf

jongejanssen Wrote:Is this related to the new API you had to use?

Partly. I also added a call to check if the song really existed before adding to the list. However, I think I'll take that out or make if optional in the next version (hopefully in the next couple of weeks).

Regards,

Stephen.
