Rewrite protocol
Type: Improvement
I might have found a site where the protocol is easier to understand.
Tinysong.com
It's run by grooveshark, and it runs the request right over the client, so we can see what is necessary to not get banned, right now it seems like the missing piece to not get banned is "markSongQueueSongPlayed", i am currently rewriting the whole groove.py to be more like a library, and will add this.
I wanted to do that but I never knew exactly how to (I've never actually looked at a python module/library) so I ended up with groove.py Mind posting your code when you're done ?
Of course, i learned python like 2 weeks ago, so it might not be completely optimized. all it really is is adding self as the first param of all methods, wrapping it all in a class and prefixing self. all functioncalls and global variable calls inside of the class
Ah great. I never bothered to learn about classes. I can take care of the little optimizations/cosmetics.
I did switch to urllib2 instead of httplib, simply because i think grooveshark would be happier if we stored the phpsessid. so i used cookiejar :D
Sadly that didn't fix it. I'm going to do some comparisons in ubuntu between the script and the browser to see what's so different.
EDIT: did some tests on some proxies, and it's great, i managed to get rid of wget (in favor of my own downloader) that even supports callbacks, so you can post process updates yourself now :D
