I tried what you said above and it works except it doesn't upload embedded album artwork. Considering that Google Music Manager uploads songs with embedded album artwork could you make it as well?


Edit: Also why do I get this message that synchronization failed when it in fact succeeded?

Hi
Me again!
Maybe I missed something, but on the laptop where I can connect to GPlay, after activation of the GPlay device, I can see all remote tracks but I cannot play them actually ("unknown audio format, cannot play".. or similar message in French).  

And I still cannot connect to GPlay at all on the other laptop.

Thanks for your help :)

I didn't find a way to upload artworks, although its definitely possible. In my test some embedded artworks are uploaded (or automatically found by Google), but most didn't.

At least I line should be "Copy failed", that's why error window is opened at the end of sync. It may be hard to find this line.

Yes, playing online tracks is not supported at the moment. Maybe I'll take a look at this.

I think I found one more bug?

Here is track uploaded with Google Music Manager. I can click through the track and the time bar progresses accordingly.



But with songs synchronised through your pluging the time bar doesn't work and I can't click through the song as you can see here, the time bar should be at the same position as on picture above but it just stays at the beggining and doesn't do anything.

Hi
Just noticed that the GPlay device that is created when I activate the plugin has not the correct conversion settings. I had to manually set up the conversion to MP3 of all files (but MP3) on this device, to be able to sync FLAC files for instance.

Do you mean that track position issue is resolved now?

If the question was for me, no, I have the same problem as Moshi: uploaded tracks play well in Google Play but the cursor does not move from 0.
Also noted that the duration of the track loaded from MB on Google Play is empty.
The same track (MP3) uploaded directly from Google Play behaves correctly.

Yup. Exactly this.

I think not all tags are uploaded, boroda. Could it be only ID3v1 is uploaded and not ID3v2?

I'm working on this now. Things are not so simple, but I hope I'll get to the bottom of this. Also I'm trying to support playback of online tracks and fix one more bug.

Ofcourse. No problem. We're here just to report bugs and make suggestions of possible solutions to them and to improve the plugin as a whole.

New version released:
  • Fixed that playlists were not uploaded (playlists themselves, not playlist tracks).
  • Now track durations are uploaded correctly.

Its known bug that track are actually not downloaded (only 1st track is downloaded, then server returns error 401). I'm going to fix it.

Plugin suddenly has stopped to work at all for me. Every times I try to upload tracks I get 'INVALID_SIGNATURE' server error. If somebody has the same problems please report it.
