I'm having the same issue, Win 10. Had it happen on multiple systems. Youtube Music works just fine though.

[MarshallOfSound]

Fixed in master, will hopefully release soon. You can download builds from CI in the meantime

[MarshallOfSound]

@jfries289 The OSX and Linux builds are on CircleCI.

[jfries289]

@Gibbel91 You can find the latest windows build to download at https://ci.appveyor.com/project/MarshallOfSound/google-play-music-desktop-player-unofficial/build/artifacts

I believe it has the fix for this in it.

[edorgeville]

Thanks @jfries289, this fixes this issue for me (Windows 10).

For lazy OS X users: https://3667-40008106-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/home/circleci/project/dist/installers/darwin/Google%20Play%20Music%20Desktop%20Player.zip
May become dead in the future, I don't know how long Circle retains artifacts.

Thanks a lot for the quick fix, btw

Thank you, It worked for me.

Thank you! Getting latest CI build fixed for me too :).

Is there any chance to get a 4.6.2 version with this fix?

[cdyax]

I can connect perfectly with the version for youtube but not for google play, it gets to say that songs load and stay there.
I'm in Spain.
version 4.6.1
Google the web of play I have no problem with my email and password
If anyone has any idea how can I fix it agradeceria.

[Darel13712]

@agc93 Nice job! It would be great if it would list a couple of last releases, not just the last one.

[agc93]

@Darel13712 If you create an issue at agc93/gpmdp-release I'll see what I can do. Ideally this app won't be needed for that long 😆

I'm having this same problem. Newbie here, can someone stats steps to fix?

[turdfergusonpdx]

Ok. For anyone who can't make that command line work -- just download https://3751-40008106-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/home/circleci/project/dist/installers/darwin/Google%20Play%20Music%20Desktop%20Player.zip
for mac.

Just make sure to NOT click on button Youtube Music (Beta) It will brick app to a browser mode on YTM page and there's no way to go back. (Or is it? I donno, help me pls)

Never mind, I downloaded this build and it's working fine now.

[jnr2820]

Hi all,
I reqested @agc93 's neat search tool be added to the README. I guess we'll wait and see if it is accepted.

Windows 10.

Well, I got a little further but now have a new issue. I installed Revo Uninstaller and did a complete uninstall and wipe of GPMD. Did a fresh install and it bring me to sign in the page, after signing I get a message from Google:

Couldn't sign you in

Why is this issue closed given that the bug still exists?

[jostrander]

Standard procedure is the close the issue when a bug fix has been merged into the code. The bug still exists in the version that was released, but does not exist in master, or future releases.

[for7raid]

@jostrander Good practice, realy, but over the month I can't listen to music, and there is no any roadmap to release next working stable version.
The current released version doesn't work at all, this is a critical issue, and a standart procedure to make a patch release 14.6.2, and only then close the issue. Customers can't use master branch, folk don't know what "master" and "brach" mean, they just want to download app and listen to music.

I tried to use CI artifacts, but is crashed too.
@MarshallOfSound Any news to this?

[MarshallOfSound]

@for7raid just gonna stop you right there, this project is open source, their are no "customers". Everyone using this project does so for free, under the license in this repo.

We're working on finding a fix for all folks and at that point we will release a new version. No one gets paid to work on this though so patience is key here if you can't figure out how CI works.

[IndefiniteBen]

@for7raid This is an open source project; everyone working on this probably does it as a hobby next to an actual job/study.

I can understand how it's annoying if you just download it to use, but you should've been aware that it's an open source project and what that means. If you want something reliable, use what is officially supported (by Google) and just use GPM in a browser. Chrome/Edge beta will even let you install a site as an app using PWA support.

[WebFactoryLtd]

@for7raid don't like it? Don't use it! As simple as that! Build a better app, fork this one find a better one ...
And no, Marshall has absolutely no responsibility towards anyone. Everything here is provided "as is".

[IndefiniteBen]

@for7raid See #3548 for the next release super ticket.

[Darel13712]

@WebFactoryLtd don't be so nasty asking people to leave the community. Nativefier or web version is a more stable way to use GPM now than GPMDP today and it's not an achievement for this community to be proud of. Don't act like there is no problem which @for7raid is referring to even if you don't like his wording.

@MarshallOfSound great you're joined the conversation. I myself don't intend to blame anyone here. Master branch stopped working for me several monthes ago. I use ci build or web version or other services. But let me rephrase what @for7raid was trying to convey here in my own words.

Repository says that current build is passing. Yet a lot of people have been experiencing this issue 3660 for a long period of time now. Current build does not work and is not usable. If it's passing then some tests are missing. Please consider adding info that this package is broken atm and there is work concerning this to readme and site. This is wrong that people have to find this thread asking the same questions of how to download ci build over and over again. It's simple respect to let people know what's going on.

[b-n]

@Darel13712 you are more than welcome to write the tests yourself and submit a pr if you so desire. The build is passing because the thing builds. Build passing doesn't have to mean it works.

But more importantly, he doesn't technically owe us anything, that's what the license says. There is no warranty, etc. If I were to raise an issue on one or your repos, but you were on holiday, then what should I expect? One unpaid man owes us 0, and I'm just grateful he contributed to start off with.

Does anyone know how to get back Chromecast button?

[pete360]

Why was this marked off topic when I provided information as to what I did to resolve the loading library issue. It was a clean uninstall and re-install. Not my fault it brought up a new issue.

Also, why is this thread closed considering the bug still exists?

[agc93]

@pete360 My best guess is its closed as the specific bug this was opened for (i.e. being stuck on the opening Loading Music Library) seems to have been fixed in current CI builds (tool for anyone without a CI build ).

I think that specific error is tracked in #3545 instead.

[hpeyerl]

Been involved in Open Source before it was called that. The only thing I ever feel that I owe my users is a working build from an official source. If I've broken the official build, then I either fix it or back out the change and re-release. Open Source is sometimes a pain in the butt but it's not hard.

[sonnymilton]

The following helped me on Fedora 31:

1. Remove GPMDP $ sudo dnf remove google-play-music-desktop-player-4.6.1.x86_64.rpm
2. Remove GPMDP config files

$ cd $HOME
$ rm -rf .config/Google\ Play\ Music\ Desktop\ Player/ 

3. Download the latest rpm x64 build from Circle CI
   • Go to https://circleci.com/vcs-authorize/
   • Sign in
   • Find here https://circleci.com/gh/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL- the latest successfully build with jobname "artifact_gather" and click it
   • Go to artifacts tab, find there the link to google-play-music-desktop-player-4.6.1.x86_64.rpm and copy it.
   • Download the build from the copied link $ wget https://3838-40008106-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/home/circleci/project/dist/installers/redhat/google-play-music-desktop-player-4.6.1.x86_64.rpm
4. Install it using $ sudo dnf install google-play-music-desktop-player-4.6.1.x86_64.rpm

[MarshallOfSound]

As I said up in the original comment that closed this issue, this issue is fixed in master and will be released once we've got a the following things:

• The user agent issue in Google Sign In may break in June 2019 #3545 figured out
• A green build
• Me having spare time to actually organize and run a release

I'm going to lock this out for now to avoid notification spam, if you want CI builds but don't know how to get them it looks like an awesome community member (sorry not sure who originally built it) has made a handy tool for fetching CI builds.
