Google Play Music Access

[john6555]

@john6555
I would recommend you to create Google account which ends with @gmail.com

Problem is that I already have 7000+ songs with my Google Music account and I'm not going to start over with a separate "Music only" account!
I guess I will have to continue using Google Music in the browser for now, but thanks anyway!

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.

Same problem

Something has changed on server side,  but hopefully I can successfully upload tracks with tiny test application. I'll try to resolve this issue.

New version released.

• Fixed recent problems with track uploading. Track durations aren't uploaded any more.

For some reason MusicBee is only able to display 500 tracks from Google Play. Am I doing something wrong?

[boroda]

For me plugin displays all tracks. Try to switch to 'music' node, then to 'google' node again.

Hey there,

I just installed your plugin and ran into the mentioned 401 unauthorized error after playing the first track, plus there are definitely not all my tracks available (~800 instead of ~ 20.000). Is there any way to solve this? Switching to 'music' and back to Google Music in the left sidebar does not help.


Thanks a bunch

For now you can play only 1 online track.

I'm going to revise plugin in the middle of January as it doesn't work for me again.

So this is more or less normal at the time being ? Does that correspond to the problem with only a few songs appearing? I do not need to "synchronise" (since I don't want to upload any songs at the moment) in order to get the full list of titles/songs?

Uploading, downloading/playing and getting list of tracks are completely independent problems
I'll check/rework all of them this month.

Thank you so much in advance .

New installation instructions:

Introduction:
Forgive me for sophisticated installation instructions. There is no official Google Play Music API and reverse engineering is very hard.

• If you want to use plugin only for uploading tracks, but not for playing/downloading (using two-sync playlist option in Google device properties) online tracks, just skip to Step 6.
• If you used Google Music Manager for uploading tracks on PC running MusicBee earlier just skip to Step 6.
• If you didn't use Google Music Manager for uploading tracks go to Step 1.

Step 1:
Install Music Manager. Download link can be found on Google Play Music web page. Don't upload anything at this moment with Music Manager.

Step 2:
Create empty folder 'google' on desktop. Place one track which was not uploaded earlier to 'google' folder.

Step 3:
Upload 'google' folder with Music Manager. Exit Music Manger.

Step 4:
Delete 'google' folder from desktop. Delete uploaded track from online library with Google Play Music web interface if you want.

Step 5:
Uninstall Music Manger if you want.

Note:
These steps will make Music Manager to register itself as uploader and downloader. Plugin will emulate Music Manager to download/play tracks. All this is needed because I don't know how to register (authorize) plugin as downloader.

Step 6:
Extract content of archive to plugins subfolder of MusicBee installation folder (e.g. to "c:\program files\musicbee\plugins"). Go to "Edit> Preferences> Plugins" to tune up plugin.

I am unable to get the plugin to work correctly. I have it installed and logged in but it only plays one track before giving me the error 'The file is not a valid audio file and cannot be played' on all tracks.

Also it returns a 403 Forbidden error when trying to sync all music and a 404 Not found error when syncing individual playlists.

 I have tried re-installing and am running the latest version of Music Bee and the plugin. Thanks

It seems that you are using old version. I've reuploaded plugin:

I am already using that version (4.2.5130) Ive tried a fresh install of Music Bee and the plugin. Uploading works fine but everything else does not.

Also when I login, it first says login failed but works the second time you click ok. All my music appears and the playlists appear but it still throws up the same errors.

I have sent you a PM with a link to a youtube video showing the problem.
