I've just installed Clementine 1.1. And could not find how can I enable Google Drive (same thing with SoundCloud). There's no options in Internet Providers nor mentions in Internet side tab.
Maybe there some commandline options or it should be compiled in special way?

I've got Kubuntu Precise amd64.

Any ideas? Thanx.

I'm pretty sure that Google Drive and Soundcloud are not the same! In as much as Google Drive doesn't currently allow Music streaming. Drive apoears to be more about file storage and office productivity.

Sorry, I didn't mean that this is same thing. I've said that SoundClould doesn't works as well as Google Drive.

Similar problem here: Only Google Drive is missing.

 I'm using Arch Linux with the official clementine package ( https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/clementine/ ).

Same here with Fedora 17 amd64. It seems the access to Google Drive is Windows only ?

Clementine needs TagLib 1.8 and sparsehash to be able to use Google Drive.
However, most Linux distribution provide an older Taglib release (1.8 was released recently).

But Taglib 1.8 has been added to Clementine's 3rd party libraries since 1.1 was released (in case the already installed version of Taglib is < 1.8, this one will be used) so, waiting for the next release, you can try to recompile it yourself using the last git code, after installing sparsehash.


About SoundCloud, it has no special dependencies so it should be visible and working: you can access it through global search or in the Internet tab.

If you don't want to recompile it yourself, you can now use the latest build: builds.clementine-player.org/
