Support & Help Requests
#1

Guys I'm on 20.04.2 and getting a now unsigned / forbidden repo for gpmd..
I actually didn't realize I had it.. default for 20.04.2 ?

Reading package lists... Done
E: Failed to fetch https://dl.bintray.com/marshallofsound/deb/dists/trusty/InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 34.223.179.172 443]
E: The repository 'https://dl.bintray.com/marshallofsound/deb trusty InRelease' is no longer signed.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N:

What are you guys doing for workaround/replacing with? don't care? using another wrapper instead? just curious.

This repository returns 403 using web-browser too. So it seems to be discontinued.

I would recommend to launch Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) and then disable this repository.

Possible way to install newer version of gpmdp - is to download deb file from https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-/releases/tag/v4.7.1 .

I thought Google Play Music was abandoned by Google in favor of YouTube Music?
