It's now possible to install the plugin through the repository http://hechtus.github.io/squeezebox-googlemusic/repository/repo.xml.
Thanks ! I added the repository and tried to install the plug in, but it wouldn't install. Let me know if you need any logs etc etc
@DannyKudos:Have you done steps 1 to 4 from the installation procedure? Are you able to download the repo.xml
and the zip http://hechtus.github.io/squeezebox-googlemusic/repository/GoogleMusic-v0.1.zip by hand? And yes, a server log would be helpful. Normally, this is located under /var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log
.
ahh... sorry. When I saw it was available through a repository I thought it would be a one step complete install (a la Triode's Spotify plugin). I should have paid more attention. Also your full instructions look like linux whereas my server is on a windows machine. I'll keep an eye out and wait until your plug in is ready for normal punters like me ;-). Very much looking forward to it.
To really simplify the installation procedure, one could try to port the Google Music Mobileclient API to Perl. This way a one-step-complete-install would be possible. Any volunteers out there?
Could this be useful in converting the Google Music API to perl? http://perthon.sourceforge.net/
It would, indeed. But I don't expect to much from this tool. Apart from the fact, that it is not maintained, the Google Music API depends on several other Python packages, that would have been translated as well or being replaced by suitable Perl packages.
As an aside the docs could do with being updated to point to https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en in case the google account is using 2 factor auth. That caught me out and took a little while to figure out.
@elfez Are you doing/using two-factor authentication with the plugin? If so, could you please give a short discription on how you did it? You may also write some hints in issue #30.
i am using 2-factor-auth with google, all you need to do is generating a special password (app-specific) for the plugin
the link @elfez gave here is the best explanation how to do this: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en
The link @elfez sent says it all really.
Generate an app-specific password -- which is 16 random chars. Copy/paste that into the gmusic plugin config.
Again, it would be cool if the plugin supported actual two-factor authentication (you supply your "normal" password, you're prompted for a token from Google Authenticator, the app gets a token which it can use from then on) -- but it's nothing that prevents anyone from using the plugin.

OK, thanks. I will have a look and maybe try it out by myself.
Yes, this solution works properly. Log is full of:

If you are getting the following errors

You will have to switch to the development version of gmusicapi. Unfortunately, Google did some changes on the API recently. Please have a look at issue #31.
The installation process is too complicated. Possible simplifications could be
Inline
andInline::Python
package in the distribution. See the bandcamp plugin as an example._Inline
directory into the distributionThe separate installation of the gmusicapi Python package is mandatory and reasonable.
