PlayMusicCL
===========
A command line client for Google Play Music.
[](https://landscape.io/github/DanNixon/PlayMusicCL/master)
*No longer maintained*
----------------------
This project is no longer actively maintained. I haven't really got the time
needed to mainthin this and have since stopped using the client for my
personal use.
Install/Configuration
---------------------
Install using `python setup.py install`, which installs the majority of
dependencies; however, you will also need the Python GTK bindings (for GST):
- Debian-based systems: `sudo apt-get install python-gst*`
- RHEL: `sudo yum install gstreamer-python* python-mock`
- OS X: `brew install pygobject3 gstreamer`
Configure by copying the example config file to your home directory: `cp
example.playmusicclrc ~/.playmusicclrc`, then edit as needed. The minimum
required settings are `google_user` and `google_device_id`. Use
`GetDeviceID.py` to get the registered device IDs associated with your account,
then use one of them (minus the leading '0x') as your `google_device_id`. If
no password is included in the config file, one will be requested when the app
starts (note that if using Google two factor authentication then you will need
to create an application specific password).
Remove the `lastfm_` entries from the config file to disable Last.fm
integration.
Usage
-----
From a terminal: `playmusiccl`
Once the app is running you will then have access to the following commands:
- ```PLAY``` - Pauses or unpauses playback
- ```PAUSE``` - Same as ```PLAY```

Google Play

- ```EXIT``` - Exits
- ```NOW``` - Shows the title and artist of the currently playing song.
- ```[return]``` - Same as ```NOW```
- ```NEXT (n)``` - Plays the nth song after the current song (n has no effect in
random play mode, n can also be negative to skip back through tracks)
- ```N``` - Plays next track
- ```PMODE [random/linear] [repeat/norepeat]``` - Specifies play options, if you
have used any other media player they should be self explanatory
- ```LIST (pn)``` - Shows a list of all artists
- ```LIST (pn) PLIST``` - Shows a lit of all user playlists
- ```LIST (pn) PLIST [playlist]``` - Shows all songs in specified user playlist

- ```CLEARQUEUE``` - Stops playback and removes all songs from the queue
- ```PAM``` - "Play Awesome Music": clears queue, queues "Thumbs Up" playlist,
sets random playback and plays
Note that ```n``` and ```pn``` are optional parameters and both default to 1,
```pn``` denotes the number of the page to display.
Commands themselves are case insensitive, however artist, album, track and
playlist names are case sensitive and must have correct spacing.
