Hey, great addon! I've been searching for a good simple streaming audio addon and this seems to be my solution.
A couple questions,
On the main screen, for popular it shows Songs - 50 Found, Artists - 0 Found, Albums - 0 Found, Playlists - 0 Found. Is it supposed to be like this? or are there popular artists on Grooveshark?
I have my media center used by other people of my household who aren't terribly computer savvy. So I'm trying to keep the system as basic as possible. And hitting the left button and navigating to Exit is just a little bit too complicated for them. So I edited your code, when somebody hits the back button and they're on the top level of navigation, it now exits your plugin. Something you may want to consider since most addons seem to follow this.
And when searching for artists, I see in the background there's those neat windows which show the search results per artist/album/song. Is there a way to navigate to these windows to select the one I want?

Hi Solver and others!
This script is definitely one of the best for xbmc, replacing your entire music library with web-editable streaming playlists is the bee's knees. Any plans for introducing the shuffle feature? That is really the only major omission i see in an otherwise perfectly functioning script. It sucks listening to a playlist in the same order all the time.
Sorry to whine about this some more, but it will basically be better than any xmas gift I will receive if you implemented a shuffle feature.

Serious??
Well In 0.3.1, and I see more options under settings now, but umm... still no shuffle? I can change the player from "auto" to other values, but there is nothing else under the playback sub menu.
Changelog says 0.3.0 > "New Feature:Shuffle on XBOX. Can be enabled in settings."
You wouldn't happen to be running xbmc on an XBOX are you? Or am I just a moron who cannot find the shuffle setting....

hey solver i think i fixed the skin problem what i did is i changed the player to auto and everything was fine i think the reason the skin was disapearing was the mplayer has a leak in it aparently

As the title says. Have a look at the first post in this thread under FAQ for a workaround.
Cheers

also solver i noticed when i use your script with the SLik skin which uses same fonts as PM3.HD the font is all messed up in your skin (well not messed up just ugly) artist names overlapp song names if there is a y or g or something in the artist name. is there any way to make the script load a specific font?
