I managed to get it running on 12.0-RC2 Git:8e45737. I've updated the plugin and added it to my repo here. Let me know if it work for you.

Got 8tracks installed. Thanks for the update, sbchisholm!

I note that I can only play music via "Browse by Tags" and "Search by Artist." If I select "Browse Mixes" and then select a mix via "Hot this week" or "Popular this month," I get a script error. (Bummer as these are the two spots I like to look first!) Selecting a track from "Browse Mixes - Latest" works though.

Any help?

When I go to "Hot this week" and click the first mix, I get the error: "Couldnt get URL Forbidden"

This is my log:

Thanks for continuing to work on this! Can we access out own mixes without searching, like a menu item?

Thanks again!

[hasamba]

just found this addon, very nice

just hope it will make a youtube playlist instead of music playlist as the sites does so we can also watch the video.

thanks

[Laxaero]

Hey


Just wanted to give the OP a big thank you.

Works great, thanks

[Cr0ppy]

Thanks sbchisholm! I used to l love playing 8 tracks pre frodo, it seems that I can't skip from mix to mix like before, I used to start a song in a few different playlist and then 8tracks would randomly play songs from the different playlist. Any one Else Remember that?

[thebearnecessit]

so is the original addon in the first post not working?

i just tried sbchisholm's version from post number 45 in this thread and its works great: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1285028

im using xbmc 12.2 on android.

[Cr0ppy]

Hello thebearnecessit,
Yeah, I believe T0mm0 the original dev for 8tracks is MIA. the addon was broken with Frodo, but sbchisholm has updated the code!
P.S. I am getting songs to play from different playlist just as before! It seems to be working.

[rmarcare]

it works! thanks sbchisholm for all your hard work!

Is this addon still used by some people? Would people be interested in an effort on my behalf to complete it (features that require login)?

[bkanuka]

Yes, I use this and would love to see some improvements. I wish I could help, but I can't see that happening anytime soon unfortunatly

Hi,

Yes, I would appreciate yout efforts. I have a big problem, as this addon cannot be used with Yatsee remote. It leads to XBMC hang, I already contacted sbchisholm but he is busy nowadays.

Do you think you can help with solving my problem? I dig into us much as I can and found some things.

When I use keyboard to play a mix it calls the plugin in this way:

Code:

When I use the remote it works differently

Code:

You can see, that "StartScript - calling" is waiting for the script return. However the script runs in a loop to handle report, etc.
It seems like this old issue: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11353

Is it possible to solve it in the addon or this is an XBMC problem? Can you help me with this?

If I recall correctly, there were some safeguards built in with respect to spawning Python threads from JSONRPC. What version are you running?

Yes, I use this and would love to see some improvements. I wish I could help, but I can't see that happening anytime soon unfortunatly

Apart from ability to login (and see history/liked mixes etc.) what improvements are you thinking of?

edit: I just found out that the ability to login is already in the addon. Silly me.

[sakos]

If I recall correctly, there were some safeguards built in with respect to spawning Python threads from JSONRPC. What version are you running?

I have this issue with both 12.2 and 12.3 Frodo. I made a change in the addon and now it exits when the mix has been started. In this setup the XBMC is not freezing, however it is not possible to skip to next song. Always the first track of the mix is played.

[ReducedToZero]

Apart from ability to login (and see history/liked mixes etc.) what improvements are you thinking of?

If you're hunting for something to tweak, I'd like to see searches (so entering a genre manually for example) modified so that past searches are added to an editable list, akin to how they work in the YouTube plugin.

It would be a nice convenience feature and save on the typing for those of us who use a remote
