Google API Chrome Profile bug #206

Closed oconshien closed 4 years ago

oconshien commented 4 years ago

Thanks Simon. That fixed the one problem. Now I have another. Even though I’m signed in to Google with the correct user (the one that owns Google Music), when I click the Auto Playlists button, I get:

Sorry! Due to restrictions in Google's apis, only the user signed into this Chrome profile can use the extension.

Huh, ok. Well, glad that's working now, and let me know if it happens again!

I just came back to this extension after dropping it in 2017 after the free trial. I subscribed, but cannot use the extension because of this issue. In 2017 I was using a different computer which I no longer have access to, but I'm getting this issue. https://i.imgur.com/iPBzQ33.png image

I've allowed all permissions. I have tried creating a new profile and deleting all existing profiles, but when I go to sign into GPM using my email which the library is attached to, I just get the same issue. Will keep the subscription active in the hopes that it corrects itself like this user's experience, but will have to cancel before being charged again.

I'll respond when I get a chance. No need to send more emails.

Can you try the debugging instructions from here? Note that Chrome seems to clear the protocol of javascript urls these days -- you'll need to manually add the javascript: prefix after pasting.

oconshien commented 4 years ago

from the console: {email: "", id: ""}

from the javascript popup" {"id":" _a 21-digit id, not sure if it's sensitive_ ","email":"oconshien@gmail.com"}

clearly this is the issue, but I'm not sure how to correct it

Huh, interesting. Is sync turned on for your Chrome profile? I think that would at least force Google to auth it successfully.

oconshien commented 4 years ago

turning Sync seems to have fixed it! I probably forgot to reload the extension when I first tried changing the Sync setting. thanks

simon-weber commented 4 years ago

Great! When I have a chance I'll change that error message to suggest turning on sync.

simon-weber commented 4 years ago

Ok, 5.10.8 will have an improved error message.
