The last release was 2 years ago. Since then a lot has changed. Why not do a new release ?

Sometimes, when I try to listen I get this error:

After some hours, it works. I use it a couple of times and then I get the same error.

I got this error today while using groove-dl. I hope that you can fix this error.

Currently, Groove-DL has no license, which means it's fully copyrighted. Have you considered adding a license (like the GPL or the BSD-type)?

On windows we do not have wget. It would be more useful to have a custom downloader so that the script can be run without OLV on windows. I know you have precompiled it but if someone wants to learn he will run the python script directly and will surely encounter an error. What do you say ? @jacktheripper51

Type: Improvement

I might have found a site where the protocol is easier to understand.

Tinysong.com

It's run by grooveshark, and it runs the request right over the client, so we can see what is necessary to not get banned, right now it seems like the missing piece to not get banned is "markSongQueueSongPlayed", i am currently rewriting the whole groove.py to be more like a library, and will add this.

Executing grrove-dl I get this error:

WHen you enter a music title to search, the music id's (1 in this case) are shifted, ie I had to enter '0' to get the 1st result

1: "Syndicate - Nero Remix" by "Skrillex & Nero" (Syndicate)
Enter the Song ID you wish to download or (q) to exit: 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./python/groove.py", line 136, in
stream = getStreamKeyFromSongIDEx(s[songid]["SongID"])
IndexError: list index out of range

The grooveshark servers return with an outdated client message, and doesn't return the result. updating the client value breaks the token.

I have i problem if i active more then one downloads at once that some downloads doesn't finish, they hang. It would be useful if one could limit (in the code) a download to only one active per download.

When i try query a song with python groove.py 'music name'. I receive a error in line 79 of groove.py:

Any help?

Best Regards

if you pass more than one word via command line without quotes just the first param is used ("python groove.py foo bar" will only search for foo
may change a few lines like this:

    print entrystring
    init()
    getToken()
    m = 0
    input = " ".join(sys.argv[1:])
    s = getResultsFromSearch(input)

cheers

I've installed this (v0.97.8 as the title says) via arch linux AUR (Version 57.b712ee9-1) and use the GUI.
Whenever I start to download multiple files with the same name + artist at the same time (select all of them, right click, download) they somehow get mixed up into the same file instead of suffixed with (#).

Otherwise nice project 👍

Distro: Arch Linux

I do:

python2 groove.py "a"

Hello!

I use Manjaro, which is based on Arch Linux, and I do not know how to install, since there are only instructions for Debian, Red Hat and derivatives on the site. I have already installed the the latest version of "wxgtk", "setuptools" and the python of course (came already installed), but still got no success when running "sudo python setup.py install" command inside the folder "ObjectListView". Could anyone help me?

Hugs!

I was definitely not expecting to see 4+ attempts to install bloatware/malware/spyware in the installer. That's a huge turnoff on an open source project like this.

Doesn't seem like the version installed via pip works, but the version at HEAD works great. Any chance we can get that updated?

The script is never able to get a stream key after the switch to getStreamKey...

It always return empty, and the program therefore exits. I can access grooveshark in browser, just not in script. (search and everything works fine, just not StreakKey

There is an issue on line 223, specifically https://github.com/jacktheripper51/groove-dl/blob/master/python/groove.py#L223

if s[songid]["ArtistName"] contains a "/", (such as the band AC/DC), then the file cannot be saved since wget will report an error "No such file or directory"

I worked around this issue by first importing re, then changing cmd to
cmd = 'wget --post-data=streamKey=%s -O "%s - %s.mp3" "http://%s/stream.php"' % (stream["streamKey"], re.sub(r'+|/+', '', s[songid]["ArtistName"]), re.sub(r'+|/+', '', s[songid]["SongName"]), stream["ip"]) #Run wget to download the song

the script doesn't work in germany since the gema (representative of music publishers) forced to shut down grooveshark here
good news: everythink works fine if you catch the cookie via proxy (like firefox plugin "grooveshark unlocker")
simply change a few lines:

# SETTINGS
PROXY = False
HOST = example.com
PORT = 1234
# ...
def init():
    if PROXY:
        conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(HOST, PORT)
        conn.set_tunnel("grooveshark.com")
        conn.connect()
    else:
        conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("grooveshark.com")
# ...

cheers
