Sorry guys but I have some bad news. I can't access the API anymore. I used moovida's grooveshark service to get a session id but it's been shut down. I'm scouring the internet for a sollution. In short, grooveshark doesn't work anymore.

I've contacted grooveshark to see if I can get access to their web service API. Fingers crossed.

i just checked grooveshark on xbox and everythings working

all songs play playlists show up settings work login works 100% for me anyway and i didnt even modify it

I'm still getting session id error! on windows 7 x64..

Any updates on when this problem is possible to fix?

Very nice addon

It will stop working when your session id expires. Afterwards you won't be able to renew it and the script will unfortunately stop working for you as well. But for now, consider yourself lucky ;-)

I have some good news. Grooveshark for XBMC is not a lost cause. The bad news is that I'll have to switch to another API. To my surprise, grooveshark has nothing against the groovewalrus API - they even encourage it (Have a look here: http://getsatisfaction.com/grooveshark/t...pplication)

So, I'll start migrating to the new API if I don't receive an API key from grooveshark. I'll keep you posted.

should we mark it as broken for the time being to save you some sorrow?

Yeah, please do that.

Keeping my fingers crossed

I'll keep my fingers crossed, too !
Keep up the good work.

A quick update. Grooveshark replied to my request and I am getting an API key though I don't know when.

While we wait for the new API key, I have done an interim version of the plugin that should work okay. Please see the post:

One Question...
Is it possible to start a song with the new JSON API.
If yes what would be the syntax of the URL?

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "XBMC.Play", "params": "plugin://plugin.audio.groove/some url", "id": 1 }

I had a quick look at the documentation for XBMC.play (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON_RPC#XBMC.Play) and it doesn't seem to except any parameters as you suggest above. I have never used the new JSON API so I could certainly be wrong.

It seems you could do it using Playlist.Add and then start the song using AudioPlaylist.Play. The url is "plugin://script.audio.grooveshark/?playSong=<grooveshark songid>". This is for my version of the plugin - denhams is different. Expect the url to change in the upcoming release. It might not work since I'm not sure that XBMC returns a valid handle for the python thread when called in this manner.

Hi solver,

thanks for taking a look.
You are right. There is nothing in the docs but topfs2 posted that it would work like this.

In the first step I would like to have a basic integration of grooveshark on my iPad.
I do the search of a song with the tinysong api and would like to start the url in XBMC. Will try if it works as soon as your Script will work again.

Also it would be interesting if I could use the part of your script which communicates with grooveshark as a commandline app. As Im not a coder but keen on having grooveshark on my iPad it would be nice if you point me in the right direction how to do that. I just started to learn some perl so dont have any python knowledge at all.

Tried to find a way to start a song with denhams plugin.audio.groove-0.2.1. but without success. I searched in the log and found the URL that plays the song but couldnt start the plugin playing that song with json.

But as you guys will start a joint venture it would be great if you have in mind controlling the plugin with json.

Thanks
Klaus

This version doesn't work for me.

I get an error upon launching the plugin.
