Actually may be you are right, it is about encodings. I tried some other albums, still not good.

Code:

And I also see messages like that:

Please let me know if you need more info to debug and fix it...
Thank you!

Hey, first off I just wanted to say thank you so much for this add-on! Now here comes the catch. I am using Kodi 16.1 from the official repository on a first generation Raspberry Pi using Raspbian 8, the model B with 512MB of RAM. Some things can be a little slow on it, but it usually handles things just fine. However, it pauses between each song for about 30 seconds when listening to a radio station as it fetches the next track from the internet. I have tried enabling the "Pre-fetch URL" however that doesn't seem to help as it still pauses just as long between each song. As a control I installed Kodi 16.1 on my main computer with Linux Mint 17.3 and also installed the plugin. The buffering between each song is not noticeable on it. Is there anything else I can try to remove the buffering time between each song, or is that just a limitation of the Kodi API?

Using "search" in the main menu for a specific title or artist - giving me a "result" list - choosing one of the results i.e. album - will bring me to the list of titles in this album - so far so good.

Issue: when trying to come back to the last "view" by means of the ".." at the top of each list, it kicks me back to the main menu and I have to start from the beginning.

I recently changed to Krypton B7 I was not aware of this issue before

BTW: a search history such as provided in Tadly's add-on would be highly appreciated :-)

Thank you in advance!

I just posted a question under Chorus2, http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=301759 but perhaps I should ask here as well:
When I use the web interface to enter a search, I get the search prompt on the tv screen. But only after 60 seconds idle time do I get the search prompt on my web interface. Am I missing something or should (could) something be added to the addon?

Try to decrease the size of Kodi cache. Larger cache means more time buffering the stream. Check this wiki: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_the_video_cache

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to fix it for a future version. Search history may be added too.

Would you be able to look at the encoding issue as well please? Thank you

As soon as I play music from a "radio station" "artist"-Label doesn't get any value and there is no indication in the skin. Addins like "artist slideshow" will accordingly not do its job.

For the first song of a radio station it is working correct but for the following it seems as the Music.player(Artist) does not get any value. Therefore nothing to display or to work with. When jumping to the next song "manually" it works again so the issue only exist if songs are played "automatically" from the queue.

Pressing "n" will show a playlist with information of artist and song so the information should be available. This issue only exist for radio stations for all others it works very well.

......

i hate that too. would like to see it fixed.

I just noticed that we can't start a radio from a playlist - as we can with Play Music usually. We can only start a radio from a particular song/artists.

I often start radios from my playlists (so I can semi build a playlist, start a radio and it usually gets the idea of what I'm after) so would love this feature.

Also, the Youtube is great but still gets way too many live or unofficial versions. Can you prioritise the word official and remove priority from videos with Live in the title perhaps?

EDIT: Oh and a "Shuffle from here" would be great. ie. go to a playlist, select the song you want to start on, and shuffle from here to play that song first, then the list shuffled.

I have two-factor authorization enabled with a app specific app set up. I get an error when I try to run this add-on in Kodi. Looking at the error log I see the following issue:

Also having issues with playback.
Kodi 17 b7, google with 2 step auth (application password). Installed the addon, my library is fetched without issues. i can see my artists, albums, and playlists.
I can play the track on my mobile with the google app, and i only have 3 authorized machines (desktop and phones).
When trying to play the track on Kodi, it fails with "one or more items failed to play."...
kodi.log shows a ton of errors including:

Code:

Error Type: <class 'gmusicapi.exceptions.CallFailure'>
Error Contents: GetStreamUrl: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url:

and

Code:

(response was: u'<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n<TITLE>Forbidden</TITLE>\n</HEAD>\n<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">\n<H1>Forbidden</H1>\n<H2>Error 403</H2>\n</BODY>\n</HTML>\n')

Any ideas on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi guys, I think I am also seeing a similar error as the last person on this thread, I am running Kodi 16.1 on a Raspberry Pi3, I have turned off two two step verification and have allowed less secure apps

Hi foreverguest, thanks for that. Oddly enough the RPi3 was listed under my Google account settings as an Android device and I had previously installed the google music app on my android phone, so there was a mobile device listed in the Google Music settings. I eventually got it to work by uninstalling the add-on, deleting the settings.xml rebooting the device and starting again. I didn't have much faith that it would work but surprisingly it did first time! Thanks for the reply and many thanks to the addon. I will be sure to send a donation your way on payday.
