[PLUGIN] Google Music Plugin available to test

Hi there,

I just opened a PR for a Google Music Plugin that uses GMusicProxy. I’d appreciate feedback from anyone available to test. To run, you need to build/install a branch of GMusicProxy available here. I had to add some JSON endpoints to support the functionality in Volumio and it hasn’t been merged to master yet.

The plugin source is available here and can be installed following the instructions in Volumio Documentation

Currently allows for playing music from your Library, Playlists, and Stations. The search capability has a few nice features:
Standard search by keywords - e.g. John Coltrane
Album or Artist search - e.g. Michael Jackson type:artist or type:album title:Giant Steps or stairway artist:Led Zeppelin

Hope some people find this useful.

Justin

Thanks. Any update on the testing?

I tried to install your updated GMusicProxy as described. The command “sudo pip install -r requirements.txt” resultet in a “Value error”. See below:

[code]volumio@volumio:~/gmusicproxy$ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt --allow-external eyed3 --allow-unverified eyed3

In the meantime I found out that the MusicProxy Installation instructions missed 3 items:

1. pip install --upgrade pip
2. sudo apt-get install libxml2
3. sudo apt-get install libxslt

Then I could install gmusicproxy. But when I launch the proxy with
GMusicProxy --email xxxx@gmail.com --password xxxx
I get again error message:

volumio@volumio:~$ workon gmusicproxy
(gmusicproxy)volumio@volumio:~$ GMusicProxy --email: xxx@gmail.com --password:xxx

So I tried to get on with installation of the volumio gmusic plugin.
Downloaded the gmusic_proxy.zip
Unziped with miniunzip
go to the unziped folder
Install with “volumio plugin install”

And get Error message: “no package found”…

Any help appreciated

Martin, it’s the bb software for the forum that is marking your posts “for approval”, not a human administrator. Apologies for this, but hopefully moving to a new forum host in the not too distant future.
