I'm willing to provide any information from my working setup that might help figure out what's wrong. I'm just not sure where to look.

Below is my log. I currently use my Motorola XT1650 for Google Music on my phone. I haven't used my Samsung in years; since the phone broke a while back (and switched carriers). Also, I noticed mine shows "Loading auth from cache". I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Good news guys, I got mine working by turning on 2 factor authentication and creating an app password. Probably not ideal for everyone, but at least it's a starting point so far as where the error is occurring

[Abbaskip]

That said the view override seems to be bugging now.

I'm using mimic and set 50 as artist and 52 for albums so it should be list for artist, thumbnail for album. When I go to album it's thumbnail, the first time I went to artist it was list, but then I clicked on the artist and it changed to thumbnail before loading that artist's albums and stays like it in artist view from then on

[MKANET]

By chance, did you try changing your password to see if that would fix the issue (before you enabled 2 factor authentication)?

No, but I tried two different Google accounts

I tried to do some more research, changing password,allowing non secure login and nothing helped...

Than I finally fixed that so thanks to Abbaskip, it's working now with the application password.

Anyway, thanks to all and especially to author of this great plug-in.

I'm also getting an error now when I try to start a radio on a song:

Edit: rolled back to the last full release instead of beta, and all seems to be working again

2-Step Verification and creating an app password worked for me https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

I'm having some of my albums not showing or matching correctly to an artist. I'm gonna look at how they are in the db but curious anyone else see this occurring?

[yevgenb]

Any idea why plugin can get empty list of devices during login? Tried to set device_id manually (got device ID from my android), tried to leave it empty - nothing helped, plugin logs in to google, gets no device id and only option I have "Listen Now" and "Browse Stations". I can listen some suggestions but can't search anything.

Thanks,
Eugene

Tried running this on window 10 Kodi v18 64bit nightly.. cannot get it to login...  Anyone else have it working in the same environment?

So, 2-step google authentication didn't work for you?

nope :/

I'm using Windows 10, but 17.6 not 18nightly - and no issues from me.

The only issue - and I would suggest this is a bug request, is that if Kodi ever closes without shutting down (happens a lot), then I have to go into the add on settings and rename the database file - otherwise I get an error loading library and reading the logs it says the file is already in use.

[jason_a69]

I've cracked this, what needs to be done is the there needs to be another parameter called device_id that needs to be entered in the settings screen so that the service can be used. This device_id can be retrieved by downloading an app called "device_id" onto your primary Android device and run, and the string you want is called "Google Service Framework (GSF)".

To get round this, I have changed the source code on my kodi box and hard coded the device_id. If you have no idea what I am talking about then I suggest you don't try this

The line I changed is in the python script /addons/plugin.audio.googlemusic.exp/GoogleMusicLogin.py

#                self.gmusicapi.login(username, password, self.getDevice() ) 
                self.gmusicapi.login(username, password, '<- insert your GSF here ->' )

So in the above, the first line has been commented out and the second line replaces it with GSF (lowercase is fine) hard coded.

I hope this helps someone.
