Searching public playlists #66

Hi,

Now that public playlists are officially supported in Google Music, any chance a playlist search option could be added to search for public playlists?

Thanks

Would this also cover the 'curated' lists like the 'Making Dinner' and 'A House Party' radio stations? I'd love to be able to play those from my Squeezeserver :)

Playlist search should be doable. It is already supported by gmusicapi. I'm planning to add this in the future.

@gdhbashton What do you exactly mean by curated lists? Are these lists public playlists or radio stations?

gdhgdhgdh commented 9 years ago

(Mm, I confused my home + work GitHub accounts) Curated lists are definitely radio stations - they just have a strange interface by which to reach them:

e.g. starting at https://play.google.com/music/listen#/now, choose a category like 'Happy Hour' or 'Focusing While You Work' and then make a selection from the sub menus.

It would be fantastic to be able to browse this structure in the same way that the existing "Radio Genres" inside the Google Music menu works.

Yes! Search and Radio already work very well, but explore/discovery is still missing in the plugin, together with Playlists, if thie could be added it would be pretty much perfect...
