First of all, i love Rockstar... but i have an issue regarding the sound engine.

I use the internal DirectShow Player to play music because i can route it then to the ffdshow filter. ffdshow applies a genre specific equalizer / 5.1 upmix / lfe crossover based on filename rules and encodes the music to an ac3 stream that my dolby digital receiver can decode.
This works really great and gives me nearly unlimited possibilities to automatically adjust the sound to any specific needs.

It would be really nice if Rockstar could produce an audio stream that is send to the dshow interface. It does not have to be a new stream for every single song, but anything like a permanent stream similar to internet radio stations would be sufficient.

If this isn´t possible then please do not link Rockstar music output to the configuration made for Mediaportal as a whole beacuse now i must decide if i hear dull music from the bass engine, regardless if i hear local music or rockstar, or if i do not use rockstar at all.

    Adding new services basically has two requirements

    1) Some kind of API available which suits for Rockstar (e.g. you can at least search for music)
    2) Someone willing to pay my subscriptions for these services :p

    I have just looked into Google Music All Access but it seems that there is no API to search for music like the web interface allows, you can only search your own library..

    The latest version of the Google Music Unofficial API is supposed to have support for Google Music All Access streaming according to the changelog, but the documentation seems to be a bit out of date and says it is in progress.

    It looks like a more up to date C# port is now being worked on https://github.com/taylorfinnell/GoogleMusicAPI2.NET. I wonder if that might be more useful for adding to a MP plugin than the original Python version.[DOUBLEPOST=1381460687][/DOUBLEPOST]Another interesting Google Music project based on the unofficial API http://gmusicproxy.net/. A proxy that allows any media player app access to Google Music streaming.
