Beta Getting On Grooveshark?

[bompo]

I packed groove from Elias Woods into a pnd. Seems to work.
Sadly, it's only possible to link to libqjson.so.0 with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It didn't find the phonon backend with this method.
My run.sh:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./" ./groove

You have to install qt4-plugin-phonon-backend-gstreamer via opkg or manually. Maybe someone knows a way to get rid of that dependency.

sudo opkg install qt4-plugin-phonon-backend-gstreamer

or

wget http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv7a/base/qt4-plugin-phonon-backend-gstreamer_4.6.2-r18.2.5_armv7a.ipk
sudo opkg install qt4-plugin-phonon-backend-gstreamer_4.6.2-r18.2.5_armv7a.ipk

After that you can use this PND.

strange before installing the dependency , the PND seemed to run fine but could not connect, after installing dependency the pnd does not want to run at all?

edit

maybe HF5 RC2 has broken the PND somehow?

What a grave-dig !

To get a phonon backend in a PND, it's quite simple, have a look at the minitube PND :

put the lib in <PND_ROOT>/lib/qt4/plugins/phonon_backend/ and add this in your launch-script :

export QT_PLUGIN_PATH="$HOME/lib/qt4/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH"

I tried Grooveshark in the desktop version of Firefox but it didn't seem to work.

Is there any way to get Grooveshark on the Pandora?

UPDATE: And, if it's not possible to get Grooveshark's website working, is it possible to get the Maemo Groove client working?

http://maemo.org/packages/view/groove/

I tried installing the .deb through opkg, but it said that it was the wrong architecture.

the sources are here : http://maemo.org/packages/source/view/fremantle_extras-devel_free_source/groove/0.5-02/

I think this is the newest source:

Is this the same thing, or is the one on the File Archive updated?

Merged with other old thread from dev forum.

Yeah, it was already ported by Coldbird from openpandora boards the same day I asked this question. Woohoo!

The only problem for me is that the controls aren't labeled on the bottom of the screen, so they're just blank buttons that you wouldn't even know were there...maybe it can be fixed? It could just be a problem on my end I suppose.

Can you link me to the thread, please? I can't find it...

There. About the icons, I will take a look at it later today once I'm back from school... I have the problem too, I didn't even know there were buttons till you said there were.

But other than the invisible button labels, the program works fine and is more updated than the broken package from this thread.

Thanks for this! It does seem to work quite well, although I'm missing the buttons on the bottom.

Another thing I'd really like to see is the ability to scroll up & down through the searches using the d-pad, then "enter" to select, rather than using the mouse to use the scrollbar. That would be more suited to the Pandora's interface.

But again, thanks a lot for this. I'm amazed at how much obscure stuff I can find. Between this and Minitube (through which I can also find tons of obscure music), music on the Pandora seems pretty well covered.

Why pay for Spotify?
