Does anybody have the Pandora addon installed and using this app? I'm mainly want to use this app for the "addon" controls. But I don't want to buy it unless I know it works and give s me the control I need.

Home much control does it give you in the Pandora addon? Can you select different channels, stop, start, etc?

it starts the addon. then you can use the dpad (or gesture zone) to control the on screen controls

too bad. I wanted to be able to control Pandora remotely without looking at the TV screen.

Yes, the newest Nightly (Sept. 6th) changed the JSON API on XBMC's end which caused the break.

Hi,

Does anyone know What exactly is the JSON used for ?
Do you think any update from 6/9 is going to mess with the JSON or will they (xbmc devs) fix it or is it part of the xbmc dev upgrade process, in which case FSS.cc will have to fix

who ever hope it get fix soon

You can check XBMC's wiki about what they use the JSON for, but essentially, it's on XBMC Dev issue as they are upgrading it on their end, so it's something that FSS will have to tweak in Constellation.

The whole point of the nightlies is to test the bleeding edge changes that the X-Dev are putting into the builds, these changes always have the potential of 'breaking' third party things. If you're always upgrading to newer nightlies and worried about it breaking things... just don't go with the absolute latest until you've heard something on the forums in reference to breaking stuff... (ex. Stay with Sept. 5th or prior due to JSON)


some things don't work - wiemel - 2011-09-08 12:18

Dear all

i'm capable of using constellation. for instance i can search in my libray of music (don't have movies, so nog used)
Also i'm able to play the music on the remote machine (in this case a win XP laptop connected true wifi home network and as monitor i use my tv.

However if i push in the youtube tab on the button the send it to the latop, nothing happens.

also in the remote none of the buttons seem to have an effect.

i'm sure i am connected because the music library does work !


and maybe an idea. put the option in constellation that if you play a song, you have also a button somewhere that you go to the visualisations en nothing else on the screen on the computer.

Regards,

Wietse

We know about the broken nightly build support. We will support new JSON when XBMC Dev Team stops changing namespaces (so often) - otherwise it's continous development on and on...

We will wait a little bit longer with this release as we are currently working on some new (simpler) navigation flow and photo support. We would like to include it in the next release but it make take some time. Meanwhile, if you are using one of the nightlies, stay before Sep 6th.

Kind regards.

Sounds like a evenserver problem. Did you watch the setup video in the first post? Make sure you have port 9777 UDP open!

i've tried top open this port, as well as in my firewall and in the rooter.

xhrn i try on my ipad tot surf to http:// ip adres:8080 i get a page with xbmc en on the right it shows the tab movies and music.

Anyway, it still doesnt work, so youtube but also the remote control.
I'm still only able to play songs in my library (so i can sart them on my pc using onstellation on the ipad.
