Which Device ID do I use?

[kroppt]

I know it has something to do with Google, but I am unsure which Device ID to input into my config.

I tried running gpymusic anyway, and the resulting errors were pretty malformed insofar as the spacing is messed up after newlines:

                            <list of device IDs>

Anyway, so I am not sure which ID to choose. There are 8 available to choose from. Some have capitalized letters, others have lowercase letters, some are 12 characters long, and some are 60 characters long. No further information is given in the list.

I think you'll want one of the shorter ones. To test it out without the spacing issues upon error, you can try this from an interpreter:

import gmusicapi
mc = gmusicapi.Mobileclient()
mc.login("email", "password", "deviceid")

Logging in with several actually returns true for each one... What is this Device ID supposed to represent exactly?

[christopher-dG]

They're associated with physical devices that you've logged into your Google account on. Any that returns true should work.

I see now. I found the one that matches my MAC address. Thanks.
