GrooveShark Plugin

[SharkHunter]

Hi,

After a long sleep my first plugin the GrooveShark plugin has been awaken from the dead. It should now work again (new version called 0.50) which basically updates all the fine details. No major apperance or feature updates just making it work agian.

The plugin is also added to the plugin installer system so you can get it via that otherwise (https://github.com/SharkHunter/GSPMS/downloads) is a good src...

Installed, passed the parameters within the cred file etc but I cannot get any songs/artists, only the popular songs.

When I navigate within Songs or Artists, I am faced with an A-Z folder choice (incl some other folders, such as "space") and whatever I select, I get the dreaded "There are no items".

Anyone has used this with luck?

Hi Sharkhunter

Thank you for the informational link. I followed it up to the letter and albeit artists and album search does work now, as soon as I click on an album name to view the tracks or an artist name to view the albums, I get a "There are no tracks". Song search is not operational as well, it returns the same message.

When I tried to playback some of the popular songs as served by GrooveShark under the "Popular" folder name of the plugin, I got no audio playback..after a while an error message came up that the stream cannot be playback. Except from gs_debug.txt"

Code: Select all

Any ideas?

Hmm your debug looks weird. You dont get any stream data.
You should have a printout similar to

Code: Select all

stream data page {FileID:-----------,uSecs:186000000,FileToken:------,ts:1353855646,isMobile:false,streamKey:----------,Expires:1353857446,streamServerID:----------,ip:-----------}}

That I don't see which means that the stream data fetching failed.
Does grooveshark work from the webbrowser? It works for me just now...

I set the plugin directory to point to a full access folder and it seems to work ok now with searches etc (albeit UMS runs with Admin privileges).

However, several songs that are returned after a search are unplayable. The debug log indicates that are not found at the host. Can GrooveShark return hits to files that do not exists, thus are unplayable?

I tried your plugin yesterday on my Panasonic TV (Model TX-L47ETW5) using UMS 2.4.2. When I try to search songs when I first enter the "Songs" folder I get the expected folders A-Z and numbers.
But when I leave the folder (go one level up into "Grooveshark" folder) and then enter the Songs folder again 40 new items are added to the list. The same happens when I navigate down beyond "P" and beyond "9". Every time 40 items are added (again A-Z and numbers, but these don't work, only the topmost (original) folders work). When I keep the "down" button pressed on the remote control I can navigate beyond "P" and "9" - otherwise pressing "down" only adds 40 folder items to the list. So it quickly ends up having thousand items and more in the list. Otherwise search works just fine if I'm using the topmost copy of the folders. The duplicates don't work.

If user's press the "Refresh Available Plugin's" Button in UMS -- should they see the updated version there?

Yes, I just updated it in the database
