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-gro...p/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.

Many thanks
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
.
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.
Stephen.
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
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

return url
Many thanks. That works fine. (For some reason I thought I tried that before and it didn't work
). Anyway, I have done the update and now the songs load much quicker:

BTW, any news from Grooveshark about the new webservices API?
Stephen.
I think there is. I will try to add it.
...that is, other users playlists.
Stephen.
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

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.

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
