Hey fellahs,

So I'm using Chrome and running Grooveshark, logged-in of course and Playlist playing. UMS is being served to my TV and PS3, showing the Grooveshark Folders in the XMB but my music isn't in there. What am I forgetting to do? Do I also need a Chrome Plug-in?

Thanks for any tips!

As always logs are needed. For gs add the gs_debug=true to your UMS.conf and rerun. Grooveshark might have changed stuff so things doesn't work. I personally don't use playlists so that might be broken.

Where do I "add the gs_debug=true to your UMS.conf" ? There are TWO places showing, with different results and I'm a dumbass:

Here:



or

Here:



Just open in Notepad as shown and copy/paste gs_debug=true anywhere in one of these two places or paste to a specific line, hex editor etc... ?



*****EDIT****

I just found this:

Configuration

The GrooveShark plugin has the following configuration options all should be entered in the PMS.conf file:

gs_plugin.path - The path to were the plugin will store it's internal data. (For example c:\gs_data) This should normally be set to something.

gs_plugin.init_delay - The number of milliseconds the plugin buffers before starting to stream. Defaults to 3000.

gs_plugin.max_display - How many hits that will be showed per folder. The plugin ads a "More" folder after this number of hits. Defaults to 32.

gs_plugin.private_dbg - If set to "true" the plugin will send it's debug to a private file called "gs_debug.txt" placed in the gs_plugin.path. Other wise the debug ends up in the normal PMS debug file.

gs_plugin.cover - If set to "old" the plugin fetches the cover thumbnails from an external website. Otherwise it uses GrooveSharks thumbnail site.

gs_plugin.tiny - If set to "true" the plugin uses GrooveSharks alt. site TinySong to fetch data from. Should be used only if the normal method dont' work.

Oh boy.... do I really have to input all that? I don't even know the paths and how to space stuff out etc... Can't be as simple as adding the plug-in eh?


***EDIT2***

I'm using the newer 5.0.0 -b1 and same bad results: GrooveShark shows up on XMB with all the Folders but they are EMPTY, no files.

BUMP?

How do I change it to "gs_debug=true to your UMS.conf" ?

Look under "General Configuration". there you'll find a button "Edit UMS.conf manually" press it and add the line. Press "Save" and then restart UMS to be on the safe side.
If you don't have a "Edit UMS.conf manually" you must first enable the "Advanced mode"

Okay, did that but still no luck. I added "gs_debug=true" at bottom, as shown:



After a negative result of gs_plugin tiny mode false, showing up again, I decided to add it in the middle of the UMS.conf file, not at the end, still no luck. So then I also added the number sign like the other inputs have: #gs_debug=true. No luck. Folders are all there in XMB but Empty/No Files.

Where should it be placed, directly at bottom or it does it even matter where O paste it? Also, should I add the # sign or not?

Using latest UMS 4.3.1 on WIN7:
