[SOLVED] Unable to get Google music (gmusicapi) working.

[JeffD]

Hey all, new user here and I'm sure like a lot of you it only took a few minutes of using moOde to decide this is the music app for me. Big thanks to all involved!! 

I hope to get Google music streaming directly from moOde (not via bluetooth) and believe that installing/configuring gmusicapi is the way to get there. I have gmusicapi installed however am not seeing any difference on any of the moOde config screens.

As root, I installed gmusicapi with the following command (pip3 install gmusicapi), I used pip3 as gmusicapi no longer supports python2:

Code:

root@moode:~# pip3 show gmusicapi
Name: gmusicapi
Version: 12.1.1
Summary: An unofficial api for Google Play Music.
Home-page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gmusicapi/

I have a populated gmusicapi directory:

Code:

root@moode:~# ls -ld /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/gmusicapi
drwxr-sr-x 8 root staff 4096 Feb 24 19:38 /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/gmusicapi

root@moode:~# du -hs /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/gmusicapi
1.4M    /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/gmusicapi

I have rebooted the OS several times since the gmusicapi installation and still no difference in the moOde config screens. I am not seeing the reference to Google music as shown in the first screenshot in this thread: http://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=729

What am I missing or needing to do?

Below is some additional info on my install, also I have not patched the OS this was a fresh install of the most recent moOde image. I do see "Google Play music service" listed in the output of moodeutil -a but only checked it after installing so I do not know if it was there before.

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ moodeutl -a
