Hi all

it's kind of funny, i get a error saying "unable to get a new session id" when i use solver grooveshark script, but with denhams plugin it all works fine??

And i doubt i have to wait for the session id to timeout, because i tried this morning and it has been over 12 hours since i last login, and it still worked??

cheers

Yes, it still works for me too. In the plugin it saves the session id to file and only tries to get a new one (which _will_ fail) when the old one stops working. I think the session ids can last 7 days.

I have made a new version (0.2.0) of the plugin that uses a different API. You can download it from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-groove/files/plugin.audio.groove-0.2.0.zip/download

Some functions are missing in this version: "unfavorite", playlist modification, find similar artists. However, the basics should work okay although you may find that the songs take longer to start playing (I will work to speed this up).

I would recommend _only_ using this version if your current version has actually stopped working.

Stephen.

Hi denhams,

I had a quick look at your API and I was just wondering why you don't return the stream url directly in getSongURL, and thereby in setResolvedURL, instead of downloading it? It speeds it up significantly. Something to do with _markSongDownloaded() to avoid triggering the attacker detection?

Hi solver,

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

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.

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 Sad 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 Huh ). Anyway, I have done the update and now the songs load much quicker:

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

Stephen.


- denhams - 2011-01-15

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

...that is, other users playlists.

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


- denhams - 2011-01-16

Which version are you using? You probably need 0.2.1 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc-groove/files/plugin.audio.groove-0.2.1.zip/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
