Can I access my GPM Podcasts through this addon? If not, is that a feature that you are interested in working on?

Regardless, thank you for this

After all this time, I just realized that this plugin also plays back youtube music videos too (from search results). Very nice! I just donated again.

Is it possible to get the "Recents" feature implemented as a choice in the main menu? I would very much like to just have the "Recents" listed so I don't have to do a search or browse my library, since it's honestly inconvenient from a remote control. :/

Been using this plug-in for a while and I've had no issues with log-in or what ever on Kodi 17 - it just works for me. But I'd like "Recents" if it's not too much work.

Thanks for reading.

It doesn't support podcasts yet, but if there is interest, I can try to work on it for a future version.

"Recents" to the todo list, thanks.

I have been using Pandoki to stream Pandora but unfortunately Pandora is shutting down for NZ and Aus. Thinking about going down the Google Music route so long as I can manage it nicely through Kodi. This add-on seems pretty solid but I can't seem to find how to view/start my saved stations?

Also, the search function seems a bit hit and miss wrt to unicode characters?

Code:

EDIT:

Added the following at line 428 in GoogleMusicNavigation.py and the unicode issue seems to be resolved.

Code:

for key, value in params.iteritems():
            #utils.log("key: "+key.encode('utf-8')+" value: "+value.encode('utf-8'))
            params[key] = value.encode('utf-8')

Thanks, I'll add your fix to next version.

One other issue for me was when using a search history item which happened to have spaces, it would only show youtube videos in the results. Couple of small code changes got this right for me.

Changed line 4 in GoogleMusicNavigation.py to:

Code:

from urllib import quote_plus, unquote_plus, urlencode, url2pathname

Changed line 132 in GoogleMusicNavigation.py to:

Code:

listItems = self.getSearch(url2pathname(get("query")))

Really stoked on this app

Hi,

Is the current development code repo for this plugin available? The github link (https://github.com/vially/googlemusic-xbmc) does not seem to have been updated in more than a year, yet more recent changes are discussed on the forum. I'm always interested in helping out with plugins that I use, so useful to know where pull requests can be made if I run into issues.

Cheers
Neilen

My fault, I'll try to keep it updated.

I see it only works on android any chance to get it ported to windows? I see it will not see the decorator addon. anyway I could help I wouldn't mind trying.. I use google music all the time and this would be a awesome addition to my kodi experience.

[foreverguest]

It works in Windows, have you tried and had any problems?

[Noobie101]

Using Kodi 17 and 18 I actually have 2 issues on install it can't install deocartor .or request s... So I got it from somewhere off the internet I forget where.


Once I have it installed then I doesn't see deocartor ... I think that how u spell it ..

So that's my issue is the dependances.

Not sure the difference but I downloaded the direct link instead of using the repo and it works... this is freaking amazing thank you.

This add-on has suddenly stopped working. It says invalid credentials or connectivity problems. This was never an issue until now, and I don't believe anything has changed.

I tried to clear cache, clear cookies, uninstall and reinstall etc and still nothing.

I believe it's not even trying to login, the error seems to come up too quickly.

Anyone else suddenly having issues?

EDIT: I have more than one Google account, and they all give the same error - so I believe that the error is related to the add-on, not to the logins. The logins work on other forms of Google Play Music. Have Google changed the API or something?

Here are my logs from the last login attempt:
