Description:

GrooveOff is an unofficial client for grooveshark.com. With it you can search its huge database (thanks to a public api) for artists, songs and albums and save them on disk for offline playing. It provides easy to use filters by artists and albums. I embedded also a minimal player for songs preview/listening so you may decide to keep/reject them.

The application is founded upon Qt toolkit but I did my best to let GrooveOff feel native in each desktop environment.

GROOVESHARK IS BACK!

New domain grooveshark.io

but GrooveOff needs to be fixed!

gcala

Thanks for sharing this. At the moment it seems a poor version of original service: no author, album, title fields, no album cover and, most important, no public API. Give me a bunch of days to adapt GrooveOff to the new service.

Seems that grooveshark.io is not working anymore.
Could you just adapt this?

With your GUI it would be quite usable.

When playing a song, for what is this small dumb fourfold bar graph fidgeting right from the song's list entry?

It is as annoying as a dancer ahead in the audience during a concert jumping out of rhythm – both's movement has nothing to do with perceived the music. And IMHO such a dancer belongs to the most annoying things at a concert. In both cases I'm wishing to have an option to stop'em from moving (or synchronize them to music).

Quote:for what is this small dumb fourfold bar graph fidgeting right from the song's list entry?

It is a visual helper for the current playing song. If you have a smartphone it is very likely that you find the same "dumb fourfold bar graph" in some media app; i.e.:

http://www.topapps.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Google-Play-Music1.jpg

And guess what, it doesn't follow song's rhythm...

Nowadays, I just don't take a too long look at it. But at first testing it was confusing, because the song started quietly, so I thought the newly installed program doesn't work well.

And yes, it wasn't the first time I've seen a deafly dancing icon. Thanks for the hint – if I'm ever in the situation that I don't know how to choose between smartphone models, there's another feature to look for.

Downloaded the package for Ubuntu 14.04. The first time I tried to install it, I ran into unmet dependencies. Five minutes to install LibQT4, and bada-boom, bada bing.

Install went off with out a hitch. And, GrooveOff works brilliantly.

Thanks, man.

gcala

libqt4 is obviously necessary to grooveoff but the your distro's package manager should handle it transparently.

Moreover, instead installing grooveoff manually it's possible to add a dedicated repo following instructions provided here:

Hello, gcala

Thank for this App. It's been like 3 days, GrooveOff started to give a "Segmentation Fault" in Mint17 Mate. I guess it was after an system update occured between 16-19th of September 2014. I am no geek to check and test more precisely, sorry ; but I just wanted you to know it, in case it's a bug you can fix : I love your App !

If you compiled grooveoff yourself a new compilation may help. In case you used one of the pre-built binary I just triggered a new build procedure so new binaries should be ready in few minutes. Tell me if it helps.

bluepiaf
6 years ago

You are fast! Thank you. for I am using the pre-built Ubuntu 14.04 (i386) binary. I tried your new grooveoff_0.2.0-2_i386, unfortunatly it give the same message : "Segmentation fault"...

Guide me if your want me to perform some check out.

gcala

The simplest thing that you can try is renaming/removing grooveoff configuration files to exclude a corruption in one of them. Check the following:

file: ~/.config/gcala/grooveoff.conf

folder: ~/.local/share/gcala/grooveoff

rename them to something else and start grooveoff again: anything new?

In addition, you can:
* launch grooveoff from terminal and copy&paste all the output.
* use strace command (from strace package):

strace grooveoff 2>&1 | tee >(bzip2 -c > /tmp/grooveoff.strace.bz2)

upload the file /tmp/grooveoff.strace.bz2 somewhere (dropbox, f.i.) and share the link.

Which Mint version are you using? If I'm not wrong is 32bit, right? Is it full updated?

bluepiaf
6 years ago

Well, that was it, I guess ! Renamed ~/.local/share/gcala/grooveoff (even if there was no .conf file, juste the default.xml file), and GrooveOff came back to life !

It looks like it's ok now. Many thanks !

Regarding SSL handshake trouble, uninstall grooveoff and I try to install from source package, but this is was the output at the console: found unsuitable qt version 5.0.1 from /usr/bin/qmake this code requires qt 4.x

What could it be the fix to this error message?

gcala

grooveoff compiles agains qt4 while seems that you have installed qt5. which distro are you using?

Javip

Thank you for response. My distro is Linux Mint 15 (Olivia)

gcala

install the following packages and try again:

automoc
cmake
libqt4-dev
libqjson-dev
libphonon-dev
libphononexperimental4
ca-certificates
