Announce: Google Music plugin

[askvictor]

[Note: I'm aware that there is already a thread on this, but the first reply is that there isn't a Google Music plugin and never will be, so I'm creating a new thread; also coincides with the fixed version I've just released]

Hey all,

I've fixed the search and API version issues in a new fork; details and instructions at:
https://squeezebox-googlemusic.githu...x-googlemusic/

I've set this up as a github team, in the interests of preventing further fragmentation when I inevitably stop being able to provide time to support this. If you're interested in helping develop and maintain this, let me know. There are a couple of extra features I want to add, and re-vamp the UI, so any suggestions would be welcome (please add them to the Issues page: https://github.com/squeezebox-google...lemusic/issues)

Enjoy!

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

Although it (the "old" version of the plugin) works for me (in most cases), I had quite a lot of force and back with login issues or having to re-install after LMS upgrades and so so, so I am extremely happy to read that someone took over the development/maintenance work from hechtus (who unfortunately doesn't seem to have the time to support this).

I would be extremely happy to help actively but my coding skills and/or insight into the related API stuff is very limited.

(Again) Thanks a lot anyway, will be a happy user of this!

Cheers,
Seb

Thanks for this...I tried to have a go on a Synology system and no luck. Got pip installed but Google apiece install threw up an error 1 message when it came to :
unable to execute '/usr/local/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ccache-gcc': No such file or directory
unable to execute '/usr/local/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ccache-gcc': No such file or directory

No working compiler found, or bogus compiler options
passed to the compiler from Python's distutils module.
See the error messages above.
(If they are about -mno-fused-madd and you are on OS/X 10.8,

Then the next stage (debien/redhat?? Versions didn't work)

Think I'm in overt my head without the time to work this out right now...I'll be back though :-)

No idea about synology systems; looks like your system doesn't have a compiler installed. No idea how to fix that. What stage did you get up to? You'd need to find out how to install software packages on it.

I get the following error when attempting to add the repo:

Bad repository - Redirection limit exceeded

Any ideas?

With the little information you give I'm going to guess you are running
LMS on a NAS, and that NAS doesn't have the libraries and/or Perl
modules required to connect to an SSL protected resource.

If that's wrong, then you might want to give us some information about
your system, your server.log file etc.

Hi
Whats the main difference between this and the 0.4.2 plugin? The fixes mentioned in the first post and that this plugin will be more maintained?
Can you implement the LastMix functionality by Mherger?

[Freddy]

Any news regarding LastMix?

It's just a straight ubuntu install, no NAS or anything special.
