Is there any plans to integrate the script further, so that it is possible to let it run in the background, i.e. make it so that you're able to browse movies, change skin settings whatever while the music plays on? Maybe even let it be possible to add the playing tracks to the xbmc music now playing playlist?
I don't if this is possible to do with a script or if it has to be a plugin, if that's the case then please forgive my ignorance
If you look at the new youtube plugin in Dharma it is possible to have youtube videos run in the background while the plugin is not running. This is a new feature that was introduced in Dharma and I wrote the script when it wasn't around. So to answer your question, yes it is possible. The script can be rewritten to support it. I don't think that's gonna be done by me though, since I've started investigating/writing a virtual file system for XBMC. That would make it possible to integrate plugins with the library and the search function in XBMC. That essentially means that not only grooveshark but e.g. spotify could be integrated directly in XBMC taking advantage of XBMC's native player functions; playlists, shuffle, the library etc. It's at an early stage though so don't expect it any time soon. But if some fells like adding support for it, then fell free.
