Google-play-music-desktop-player-unofficial-: First Time Google Play User - Signing Up Doesn't Work

[adammcarth]

Hey Sambo,

I signed up to Google Play through the desktop app, but it doesn't seem to want to let me get past that point. I'm getting a stalling message saying "Setting up Google Play Music".

A potential quick fix might be to just bring a chrome pop up window open, which then installs the extension?

[adammcarth]

:eggplant:

[jostrander]

Can we just hide the "add your music" link in initial screen?

[MarshallOfSound]

@adammcarth If you haven't already signed up to GPM can you figure out the CSS selector of that link so we can kill it?

[adammcarth]

The selector of "Install"? Ugh.

-- time passes --

<paper-button raised="" class="material-primary x-scope paper-button-1" data-id="install" role="button" tabindex="0" animated="" aria-disabled="false" elevation="1">
  Install
  <paper-ripple class="style-scope paper-button">
    <div id="background" class="style-scope paper-ripple"></div>
    <div id="waves" class="style-scope paper-ripple"></div>
  </paper-ripple>
</paper-button>

[adammcarth]

Best solution is to probably just target data-id="install".

[adammcarth]

Oh, "Add Your Music". Right.

Selector is: data-action="installChromeApp"

<a class="primary" data-action="installChromeApp">Add your music</a>

I'm stuck here, too, and I can't seem to leave this screen. If I quit the app and restart it, I am always taken to the "Add your existing music collection to Google Play" screen with the INSTALL button, and I can't navigate to any other parts of Google Play.

Thought I would pop in here to say I'm also having the issue wit the being stuck at the "Add Your Music" screen after a fresh install and account creation. Trying to upload personal music for the first time.

[jostrander]

Is there no way to continue on past this without adding music?

[MichaelArriaga]

@jostrander I was able to back out of the adding music screen by relogging. Reinstalling didn't help though.
Right now i'm syncing my own library through the browser app and going to try see how it works with the client.

[jostrander]

I see what's going on, there's no option to just continue to GPM without taking one of the three relevant paths, two of which seem to be paying for music, and the only other option is uploading your own music which is not supported by GPMDP. At first I had thought this was just something we could get away with hiding, but now I'm not sure what the plan is... @MarshallOfSound ?
