Add support for broadcast about pygrooveshark HOT 5 CLOSED

@koehlma any comment about this one?

from pygrooveshark.

I did some reverse engineering, so I think it could be done by implementing "getBroadcast" and "getTopBroadcastsCombinedEx" API methods. The responses contain the current song as well as the position you need to seek to and the next song(s). But for now I do not have enough time to implement it although I would be really glad to see this in Mopidy.

@koehlma do you think you will have some available time soon (couple months)?

If not, can you sketch some basic steps so I can try to do it on my own?

I am not sure because I am very busy and if I do so I would like to do a complete makeover because the other parts of the API are outdated.

You need to reverse engineer the missing parts of the unofficial API and then reimplement them in Python using the Connection-class which provides some low level API abstraction. This could be done by using FireBug. As I mentioned before a problem might be that the whole API is outdated, so other parts need to be changed as well to make it work.

I forgot to mention that there is a tool to help you with reverse engineering the API. Have a look at https://github.com/koehlma/pygrooveshark/blob/develop/utils/grooveshark_analyzer.py it's a proxy which shows you the API calls.
