Grooveshark
Listen to songs in-game from Grooveshark's massive music database.


Description:
This plugin will allow you to play specific songs in game, and it will broadcast the song information in chat, which includes: the name of the song, artist, and a Song ID that other players can use to listen to the same song.




Command List:
sm_grooveshark (No Parameters) - Launch Grooveshark.com in MOTD browser for manual usage. *
sm_grooveshark <Name of Song> - Play song that best matches your query
sm_gs <Name of Song> - Alias for sm_grooveshark
sm_gsid <Song ID> - If you know the ID of the song you're looking for
sm_gsid2 <Song ID> - Play a song with the songid you get from the "share song" url.
sm_gsstop - Stop currently playing song
sm_gsplay (No Parameters) - Replay the last song you selected with sm_grooveshark
sm_gsplay <client> - Play the last song that client played.
sm_gscurrent - Displays information about the last song you selected with sm_grooveshark
gs_follow <client> - Follow another player. Any songs they play will play for you.
gs_open - Opens the motd panel without setting anything. It's a little fragile but can be used for a few things, including: debugging issues, adjusting settings, seeking.

Admin Commands:
gs_followall <client> - Forces all clients to follow the specified client.

Cvars:
sm_gs_apikey <key> - Sets the API key that you can obtain from http://tinysong.com/api.

Dependencies:

Known Issues:

• The latest version is based on the development version that isn't really finished yet. It should still all work as is, but it's not the final version of what I intended to post.
• Possible issues with L4D2. Workaround: Type !gs in chat with no parameters first, then close the motd window and you should be able to use it normally.

Other Notes:

• If you enjoy the content delivered by this plugin, you should check out Grooveshark.com when you aren't in game, to support their site (banner ads). Maybe even consider VIP for $3/mo. I personally have VIP just so I could use their awesome Android App, but there are other benefits too. (Note: I am not affiliated with the site and any money paid to Grooveshark has nothing to do with me or this plugin).
• I've only tested this plugin on TF2, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on all mods.

Wow.

I'm a VIP groovesharf since 2 years now.
Use grooveshark in STEAM games is like living a dream.

Nice work !

Confirming it works in Left 4 Dead 2.

EDIT: To make songs work, you need to type first !gs/!grooveshark and let it load fully 'till it shows "Search for music". Possible bug?

It already does do that...
!gs "Any search string here"

Not sure exactly what you mean. If you use the command with a song name you shouldn't see anything, it should just automatically start playing.

If you type the command alone without a song name (forgot to mention this in the first post) it will open http://www.grooveshark.com in the motd window. I put that in for people with accounts that want access to their playlists, or people that just want to setup a queue of songs instead of just one at a time. Though if you do that it won't display what song(s) you are listening to in chat so it isn't as social, but it is a bit more practical if you just care about the music.

I was under the impression that it plays the music to all players in the server similar to stuff I have seen and heard in GMod and CSS servers. Does it do that for any other game?

In L4D2 it only plays for that specific person. Is there a way to have it stream to all connected clients?

[Herokim]

I am telling that if I type /gs *song name + author* it shows that I am listening to it in chat, but really, I don't hear anything. I can only hear songs when I type /gs alone, so I will see the MOTD. After it loaded fully to the main website, and leave the MOTD, I can play songs and hear them actually.
Hope you understand me now.

[delirium_trigger]

And Herokim is right.

If you join the server and automatically try to play a specific song it will not play.

You must first let the GS MOTD load first before you can play any song.


and 1 more thing, no pause option or stop option?
