Hi all,
PMJI -  but I've been following this thread with some interest and have
a few comments/questions:

FYI - I successfully installed the plugin on my Linux (Mint based)
laptop. However so far I have been unable to get the plugin running
under Windows (XP). The issue (as documented earlier) is the lack of
Win32 support for the Perl Inline::Python module. This is clearly
documented by the author of the Inline::Python module - see this link -
"http://search.cpan.org/dist/Inline-Python/Python.pod";. (The docs may be
a bit old, but it appears that Windows implementation for this is low
priority and I would not hold my breath re support for this.)

@elfez - Can you clarify what exactly you were able to install and test
- afaik the Inline::Python has not been tested/does not work on Windows
- if I'm wrong on this can you please correct me. (I've checked both the
Strawberry and Active State Perl docs and cannot find anything that
suggests a successful implementation on Windows). 

I'd like to see the plugin working on either Windows or NAS boxes
(Synology/Other) - so far I've only seen it working  on Linux (don't
have a Mac myself, so cannot comment on that platform).

I believe there is a real demand for streaming Google Music to the SB
platform (I know that Sonos have been trying to get Google to open up
their api - but it appears that Google are holding back - probably for
commercial (rather than technical) reasons. One advantage we have with
Squeezebox is that the plugin architecture allows us to tweak the
platform to our needs. (When MOG goes away in Mid April I'm planning to
replace it with a Google Music subscription).

So far the plugin development done by Hechtus has been great (kudos to
him) - there is real commercial value in this effort if only Google
would only open up and support an official api.

Regards, 
Patrick
