Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

DWN, thank you for taking on this effort - we were using Grooveshark 2.0.5, and were very sad to see it fall apart after that Valve update.

Am curious about your version. Is there a way to control the volume of the playback in yours? 2.0.5 let us bring up /gs to change the volume, like yours seems to, only the console in your version doesn't save the settings.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Thanks.

Yes, a way to control the volume would be nice.

A message displaying when players join informing them of GS and its commands would also be nice.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Can't listen to any song, its say im gonna listen but i hear nothing, what is the problem?

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

You need adobe flash player for other browsers installed.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Unfortunately, I think it reloads the player with every song so the volume wouldnt be saved. I also dont think the player has a variable that can be used in the code to change volume.

I think game volume in the game controls motd volume?

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Wouldnt be hard to add, but wouldnt an advertisement work better?

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Currently this plugin does not work in CS: GO

[ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

I suppose - but disruptive to players with casual listening needs.

Peeked at your code - saw that you're essentially using the flash player widget for Facebook from GS; hence, no volume control. Is that the only option for playback? I seem to recall a general-purpose flash player that could be invoked with volume controls, connected with a karaoke plug-in; the specific one escapes me at the moment. Does the TinySong API we're calling here make it possible to feed the song URL to a different player?

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

I agree. I only uninstalled the old grooveshark plugin cause of no volume options.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

hmmm !gsstop does not work on my server any more

a bit weird

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

okay i found the problem,

hope someone knows how to fix this ^^

Blocking MOTD URL 'about:blank'; must begin with 'http://' or 'https://'

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Groove shark now send-me this error:

The other problem is when the player say !gs <some music> the ping up to 600ms+

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Ping going high is a no-brainer, your streaming an mp3, of course it will lag, and yeah the grooveshark site seems to have changed again

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

API keys (sm_tinysong_api_key) and other private convars should be marked FCVAR_PROTECTED.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Ill update that and fix the stop command.

Per Grooveshark:
"If you are running into issues with the number of requests that you need to make, please fill out the API Request form and let us know that you are on the TinySong API, your key, and the number of requests you think you need per hour."

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.4
 

Thats good news.

I have updated the plugin with the FCVAR change.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Hi there~!
Can you make it this plugin with Suopport for translations?
I want to change language to chinese...
Thanks a lot!

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Okay so apparently they updated to allow about:blank, but i still get the error in the console saying that it is not valid. so !gsstop does not work.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Good plugin!

Our server players are asking for possibility to hide chat messages (XXX is listening now XXX).
Maybe add command like !gshide or something like that

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

You could comment '//' out line #231 and then recompile. :fox:

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Yes. But some of people want to see that messages, some of them didnt.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Can we have a !gsrandom command that would pick a random song and play for us? :-)

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

+1 for this.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

is sm_gsstop not working for anyone else anymore since todays update(?)

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Cool plug-in. Thanks for fixing it. Working well here on L4D2!

It would be cool to add admin functions such as force play to all clients, eavesdrop on current listening, etc.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Yes.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

I no longer support this plugin as I am working at Valve now. If anyone would like to take it over let me know. As far as I know, it is still in working order. The stop feature may not work, but that's an easy fix.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Anyone can repair the gsstop problem? Thanks in advance.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Well that's unfortunate, hopefully someone can pick this up. Also, good luck on the whole Steam thing.

I also got this recently,

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

it's actually quite simple to fix... gsstop attempts to open the motd on about:blank, which is now a banned link since a recent update. This prevented songs from stopping. All you need to do is change the link to a different url, like http://www.blank.org. To give more specific directions....

1. Open grooveshark.sp with a file editor, such as notepad.

2. Click edit, and then find.

3. From there, type public Action:cmdGSStop in the find what bar.

4. Once you see public Action:cmdGSStop(client, args), go down 5 lines to KvSetString(setup, "msg", "about:blank");

5. Change the "about:blank" to any url you please. Make sure http:// is included, or the command won't work.

6. In your tf2 server folder, go to tf\addons\sourcemod\scripting, and drag your .sp to an application named compile. The .smx should end up in the compiled folder.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Thanks Tank Missile.

vodka00. The plugin working with the sm 1.5.2 but not with the 1.5.3 . Don't ask me why. If you want to use this plugin, you must downgrade your sourcemod back. It works for me.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

I would really like a plug-in that would just be like "SM_Play", but "SM_PlayGrooveShark" with the URL or ID to a song on GS - and use client-preferences to allow client's to opt-out of music initiated by the server (!grooveoff and !grooveon - something like that).

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Thanks, that indeed was an easy fix :]

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Well, even though gsstop is easy to fix, the rest of the plugin seems broken... Whenever I try to play a song, it says "Tank Missile is now playing by ." I would attempt to fix this myself, but anything past simple edits of .sps is beyond me.

EDIT: Right, it only works on sourcemod 1.5.2.... I don't want to have to downgrade my sourcemod just for this plugin, so someone needs to fix it...

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Erm works with SM 1.4. If you get a Now plays . its to do with the API Key

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Nope. Even though I tried several api keys, it still doesn't display the song or author in chat, and doesn't play the song. Maybe it only works in 1.4?

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Running it on 1.5.4 just fine.

Re: [ANY] Grooveshark 1.2.5
 

Whoops meant 1.5.4 :D
