Way to debug failed login to Google Music?

[cmatzenbach]

So I've been using mopidy for quite some time, with the same settings and it's always worked fine. However, when I tried to connect today it gave me the "Failed to login to Google Music as..." error. I can login through my browser using the same username/password, everything is fine with my account. I don't force a deviceid nor am I near my device limit. Is there any way to figure out what changed/what is going wrong?

Can you post the whole error (with relevant info redacted)?

Sure thing:

Not too much there, other than the login failed. Thanks for the help.

Are you using two-factor login? If you are you'll need to set up an app password and use that here.

Otherwise, I'm not sure and this (unfortunately) doesn't have much to go on.

I am not using two-factor and am unable to use the GMusic app.

I'll try enabling and using an app password.

I haven't been using two-factor (shame), but tried with deviceid =, deviceid = mac, and deviceid = <random android id>

[lacymorrow]

Upgraded to two-factor, still no luck.

Mopidy enforces "deviceid" but the login method expects device_id, and it's not translated. MAC login method seems to no longer works with 2FA. Replacing the var name fixed it for me.

git clone https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-gmusic/
cd mopidy-gmusic
sed -i 's/device_id/deviceid/g' ./mopidy_gmusic/session.py
pip install -U .

Newer versions of gmusicapi have a completely different method of logging in (supported in the mopidy-gmusic master branch). This should fix most issues with authentication people have been having. If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know!
