Muzu.tv

My version of this great plugin originally by T0mm0 and nursed back to life my me.

I have finally decided to start a new thread so that the download link and details for the latest version will now always be in this first post:

Now available from my repo found here:

https://github.com/spoyser/spoyser-repo/...-1.0.5.zip

Allows easy access of music videos from the Muzu.tv website (see http://www.muzu.tv )

• browse videos by genre
• search videos
• download videos (via context menu)
• add to music video library (via context menu)
• uk top 40 charts (Singles, Rock, Independent, Dance, RnB)
• jukebox mode (play all songs by an artist or use 'jam' mode for a selection of similar videos)
• 70+ featured playlists
• user playlists (create at muzu.tv)
• auto or manual starting of playlists
• channel browsing by genre
• randomising of playlists
• quality mode setting (240, 360, 480, 720)
• select your country

For searching and browsing you will need an api key available from here:
http://www.muzu.tv/api/getYourApiKey/


If you already have a key but can't remember it, you need to login to your muzu account in a browser and then go to this page:
http://www.muzu.tv/api/yourApiSettings/


In the username in the settings you should enter your Muzu channel name, this is used to identify your playlists for displaying in the playlist menu.

The "Add to Library" feature is available from the context menu. This requires you to have setup a folder in the addon settings where it will save the strm files to. You also need to add this folder to your library and set the content to Music Videos and the scraper to TheAudioDB (this seems to be the only one that works, make sure 'Use folder names for lookups' is selected).

The TheAudioDB scraper needs both the artist and track name, the addon attempts to "guess" these but they might need to be edited for best results.


Please post comments, feature suggestions, bug reports (include log!), etc

LOL It isn't obvious but if you login to your muzu account in a browser and then go to this page

Thanks for updating this addon!

Can you confirm in the addon settings that the Muzu username should be entered as name@email.com like the login on the Muzu website or just the user/channel name?
(I have my API Key)

spoyser

The muzu username is your channel name, NOT your email address (I'll rename it in the next release)

It is used to identify your playlists in the playlist menu.

You can actually put any valid channel name in, it does not have to match the API key

eg put in spoyser and you will get mine (no comments please I was just testing the functionality!)

Thanks for the plugin

Been trying for days now to request an API key, just get the message MUZU has just sneezed, please try again in a few moments

Sad

I have just set up a new account and it seemed to work fine.

Does it sneeze on the page where you have to click the "Request an API Key" button?

Did you register with them first?

I went through the Developer link at the bottom of the website to get the API, it goes to the same place but it didn't 'sneeze' when I went this way. Great add on btw, thanks!

Anybody getting a script error when trying to view the charts? The search function is working but not sure about everything else.

spoyser

Latest version now available, link is in first post.

I should point out that there is currently a problem with the Muzu site itself in that the charts aren't showing the Number 1 video for a couple of the charts, e.g see here

http://www.muzu.tv/top-40-charts/chart/1/

(which is what caused the error in the addon originally)

Once this is fixed at Muzu the addon might pick it up without a change but we shall have to wait and see!
