User/Password based auth with gmusicapi has started failing for me. When
I restarted the 'GMusicProxy' after months of uptime, it would not log
in and neither would my LMS installation.
After some hunting and research, the OAuth login method is still working
well, and I wanted to drop a note here for those like myself who are
still clinging to Google Music.
You need to upgrade the underlying 'gmusicapi' to at least 1.11.1
(that's what I used since 1.12.0 had some dependency issue on my old
systems)
Next, amend the 'Plugin.pm' 'initPlugin' function (around line 88) to
this:
# Try to login. If SSL verification fails, login() raises an
# exception. Catch it to allow the plugin to be started.
eval {
$googleapi->oauth_login($prefs->get('device_id'));
};
if ($@) {
$log->error("Not able to login to Google Play Music: $@");
}
Since we are no longer sending a username or password, we need to get an
OAuth token block. The easiest way to do this is to use a new version of
GMusicProxy from this repo: https://github.com/jeffmhubbard/gmusicproxy
Run 'GMusicProxy --oauth' - it'll generate a web URL that you paste into
your browser, authenticate with Google, and will write out a local
file.
Restart LMS and watch the logs - it will probably complain something
like
Plugins::GoogleMusic::Plugin::initPlugin (93) Not able to login to
Google Play Music: exceptions.IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
u'/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/.local/share/gmusicapi/mobileclient.cred'
at line 183
Copy the OAuth file creds file to that location, maybe mess around with
file permissions so the LMS user has access to read the file, restart
LMS again and you should be back in business. Hope that helps someone.
