Support creating instant mixes about gmusicapi HOT 9 OPEN

Off the top of my head, I think it's just a single call. I don't remember what exactly, though. Pull requests are always welcome!

from gmusicapi.

I too would love this call if you can find it! This is the one piece that im missing.

from gmusicapi.

Sure thing; I'll look into it.

from gmusicapi.

Sorry for the delay!

The call is made to services/getmixentries and looks like:

[["<newstyle session id>",1],[[["<song id>",null,1,[],[]]]]]

the response is totally gross, and seems to include song dictionary information, eg:

[[0]
,[[[["<requested song id>",["","",,,,,,,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,1,0,-1,0,0]
,1,[]
,[]
]

I've seen a lot of requests/responses that look like this recently. It seems like a trend away from user-readable json objects and towards structs; this could makes things a lot more annoying for us.

I'll probably expose this with something like api.get_related_songs(song_id) and return a list of song ids.

Thanks Simon! Your awesome! I am anxious to see the implementation! Confused however, what is "newstyle session id"? Will this be included in the doumentation somewhere?

from gmusicapi.

It pops up in most of the calls now, but doesn't seem to be required (yet).

I haven't figured out how it's generated, but it doesn't seem to come from the server.

from gmusicapi.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a quick test seemed to show that create_station creates an instant mix based on the seed track/album/artist. I just tried it without and AA subscription and it returned songs only in my library.

from gmusicapi.

Oh, cool; thanks for bringing it to my attention.

As a heads up, I don't have a lot of time this week, but I can probably dig into this over the weekend.

from gmusicapi.

Whew, this is an old issue! This will be handled by #263 when it lands.
