Re: Grooveshark

Grooveshark uses a pretty simple way to get a list of files, and to play those files. Implementing this would not be really hard, however, Serviio will not be able to play a thing from Grooveshark.

The reason is that Serviio expects an URL which it can play at the end of executing the plugin. This URL should be complete, and Serviio does a GET request to this URL. If that fails, then it will not be able to play a thing. For Grooveshark, this GET request WILL fail, since Grooveshark uses POST requests, with a form content containing the id of the file to play. It does this in both the normal and retro version of Grooveshark. Calling the URL as a GET will return a Bad Request, which is expected.

So, for now, no dice, I'm afraid.
