Great add-on. Definitely makes Kodi a more complete solution for me, thanks for the hard work.
I still don't want to accept that we can't add albums from Google Music's library to Kodi's library. I read in past posts that this isn't possible because the song link only lasts one minute. On Google Music on the browser there is an option to share a song/album/artist. It gives a URL link that seems to be persistent. So I created a strm file (Artist/Album/## - Track.strm) that contains the following:
where XXXXXXXXXX is the song url from the browser.
This works if I go through Music -> Files and browse to where the strm files are. The stream plays but there is no metadata (title, artist, artwork) shown while it plays. They don't scan into the library and I tried creating an NFO file but it didn't work so I think I've gone as far as a can with this.
Are the links obtained by this addon through the API different than the links given on the browser?
