GrooveShark for XBMC
The script brings GrooveShark to XBMC. Search for and play all that GrooveShark has to offer. Set your login in the script and you'll be able to access your playlists, delete and rename them or create new ones.



Dharma and later
Use the add-ons manager in settings to install the script. After it's been enabled you can find it under Music add-ons.

If you're feeling adventurous you can try out my svn:

svn checkout http://grooveshark-for-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ grooveshark-for-xbmc

XBOX and pre-dharma
Not supported at the moment.

Translators
If you've translated the script or updated a translation please send it to the XBMC add-ons mailing list

Bugs/feature requests
Please use my issue tracker to request features and report bugs. If you post them in the forum I might not pick up on them. If you've already requested/reported something in the forum please put it in the issue tracker.

When reporting a bug make sure that you turn on debugging in the script and in XBMC and include:

• A debug log
  
• A description of how to reproduce the bug
  
• XBMC revision
  
• Platform (XBOX/Linux/Windows/Mac)

FAQ

• Q: There's a long delay between selecting a song till it actually starts playing. What gives?
  A: It's a cache issue with paplayer. Insert the following rule in userdata/playercorefactory.xml:
  
  Code:

  <playercorefactory>
    <rules action="prepend">
    <rule audio="true" player="audiodefaultplayer">
        <rule filename="*grooveshark.com*" player="dvdplayer"/>
    </rule>
    </rules>
</playercorefactory>
  Playercorefactory.xml might not exist. If it doesn't, create it. Have a look here for the location of playercorefactory.xml.
