Hi all.

Just tried 0.8exp15, it works like a charm.
Even stations are working !
Many thanks for all this great work Foreverguest & others, i'm staying tuned

Pierre.

Pierre, how did you get it to work? I've tried everything I can think of, but all I get is the turning wheel.

Please try this version supporting IOS device type: 0.8exp16

foreverguest,
First off, nice work!! I just got this up and running on my raspberry pi with openelec and it works great, took me a few tries to realize windows 8 was creating a secret partition table that was screwing everything up but the addon was pretty much a breeze to get working. I was just curious if there was any api calls that would allow for the music to be downloaded to the device. I think that would be a great addition (at least for my set-up).

Also as a sidenote how would one get into add-on making, I would like to do that. I'm a computer science major but my background is heavily in c++ and java, not much else besides that, but I have alot of resources. If you could point me in the right direction that would be awesome thanks!

Hi Bruce!

Just installed the 3 files found at the beginning of this thread. Then uninstalled google music plugin (0.8.2) directly from xbmc, and installed google music plugin 0.8exp15 (you can find it in the previous page). As i have activated 2 factor authentication on my google account, i've asked for an application specific password. Then gave my login and this password to google music's plugin. That's all, now everything's working fine!
Perharps it's platform dependent? For information, my XBMC Frodo is running on rPi under Debian Linux (xbian).
You can also find tons of usefull hints in the logfile (/home/xbian/.xbmc/temp on xbian, don't know where on other systems, sry).

Good luck, and keep trying to make it work, it's worth it!

Pierre.

Thanks for the tips, Pierre. I'm running XBMC Frodo as well on an Exoon Power Pro box which is Android-based (JB 4.2.2). I took the exact steps you did (initial 3 files, replace the actual plugin with exp15). I don't have double authorization with Google, just my user and basic pw that works on my phone and media pc. I'll take a look at the logfile and see what's up. I finally got Pandora working, but it'd be nice to listen to my own stuff.

snaveevans, the addon here uses the Unofficia-Google-Music-Api by Simon Weber, it supports track download too. If it's interesting to you, could be a good project to start programming in python.

bruce7373, I can confirm the spinning wheel behavior on a smartphone with Android 4.1. I think it's platform specific bug. I was not able to configure xbmc to generate a log so I'm blind here, will keep testing.

Appreciate it.

Hi the plugin is working just fine, but as I'm running it on a headless raspberry pi I'm using an android xbmc client to control it. Because it takes so long to find tracks, the remote client often times out, which is frustrating.

Having had a quick dig in the code of the add-on, it looks like the python is filtering through all the tracks to find all the songs in an album - am I right or have I got the wrong end of the stick? If so, then surely as gmusic can hold 20,000 tracks it must be more efficient to use a db to do this?

When you first use the addon it loads all music library metadata in a local db, and all subsequent access to the library is made to this db. As my main use of this addon is on a raspberry-pi, I'm very interested in improving its performance.

Your xbmc config dir is located on the sd card, external storage or local network? Try to place it in the faster storage you have.

By your description the main slowdown is when listing all tracks from a single album. Is this right? How long it is taking?

Everything on SD. Don't know how long it is taking, but long enough to time out. If the filtering was in the SQL instead of the python I imagine it would be much faster. I'm going to have a go at recording this bit myself...

Hello,

disregard my previous message I failed to use the search. Shame on me.

Hey there guys,

at first I want to thank you foreverguest for this addon and please keep up the great work!

I got only one question:

When I try to access any song in google music which I didnt bought, I get an 403 error. Is this normal? Does this Addon only work with purchased Songs?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings from germany

*edit*

ok i searched this thread and it should work but it doesnt and i guess its because of the wrong device id. But how do i tell your addon to use the id of my cell phone?

here is the error:


*editedit*

seems like he successfully fetches my devices but why do i still get a 403 error? here is the log

Foreverguest,

I'm happy to say that the empty playlist issue is resolved. I can see my all access items in the playlists and radio. Well done! However if I want to play a song it gives me a script error.. Here is my log:

Thank you in advance
