Anybody have some clues on what needs to be corrected?
I'm having this exact same problem!
@spbogie - That last post fixed my login issue, but now I get the same error as zivagolee posted on 4/17/2011
Pandora on Boxee - docmichael - 2011-05-19

Updated Pandora Addon - smorloc - 2011-05-21
Howdy,
I'd like to share an updated Pandora addon with an implementation for the like/dislike buttons and a new "I'm tired of this song" button. In addition to being buttons, the like/dislike buttons will also reflect the state of currently playing song.
For the time being I placed a copy of the updated addon at:
http://www.morlock.net/script.xbmc.pandora.zip
Unzip the file in to your XBMC Addons directory. The crypt key files are included and the PROTOCOL_VERSION has been updated.
Regards,
Steve

Thanks for keeping this alive.
Can we use this icon for everyone:

Wow, that's one hell of a first post. Tanks

Woo-Hoo!! Yaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!! Yippeeeeee! Almost too exciting for words. I use Pandora in XBMC almost daily & was just thinking today how much I wished the thumbs worked. Watching a movie now but will check it out soon.
THANK YOU!!!
Edit: Tried it & out & love it.
Suggestions: Smaller "PANDORA" @ top. BIGGER album art. I wish there was a way to just press a single button to skip the song I am listening to with out navigating to the on-screen control & hitting select. I try to remember to leave that contol highlighted so I can just press Select to skip....but sometimes I forget. This makes it difficult to listen with the display off or dimmed.

For some reason I am unable to access that icon. The Car & Driver web site is dog slow. Do you have another URL for the logo you like?

Are you refering to the album art you see on the dialog with the thumbs up/down?

Are you using a remote or keybaord? On my remote, either stop or the >>| button takes me to the next tune...

Great job updating this! Works great
Pandora Skin - htpc guy - 2011-05-21
I have modified the contents of the media folder inside the Pandora addon. I made the changes to more closely match the Pandora Android app (with the bokah background). I also created a higher quality Pandora logo so you won't see pixilated edges.
To install this:
- Download the files from here
- unzip the folder
- Place it in ~\XBMC\addons\script.xbmc.pandora\resources\skins\Default\media
- backup your original media folder to another location on your HD if you want to go back to default

Thanks for the positive feedback.
Based on people's input, I have made several changes to my earlier version of the Pandora addon:
- I have ticked the version of the add to v1.1.1 to reflect both of my recent changes
- Changed the default audio to MP3-HiFi
- Added option to display the Artist Artwork instead of Album Artwork.
The Album Artwork is very small and looks bad when it is stretched.
- Increased the size of the artwork on the Pandora window
- Added option to select the size of (or hide) the Pandora logo during playback
- Updated the Pandora logo (to the standard one) which is displayed when music is playing.
(This might not been have a good idea. The logo with the transparent background might have looked better.)
- Updated the addon Pandora logo to a more typical one.
(Unfortunately XBMC caches addon logos so existing users will not see the change. The only way I have found to correct this is removing the reference from the database using an SQLite savvy tool.)
- Updated README
- New changelog that reflects the recent updates
You can download the new version at:

Love the changes. So glad this Addon is being updated. I like the updates Pandora logo that is displayed when music is playing ok - the previous was fine too.
One thing I just noticed - it keeps fading in and out by itself. Has that always done that?
I like HTPC Guy's skin and am using that. I would like to see that or something like it be the default.
Future suggestions:
any way to add the ability to check the last several songs played like in the IOS app?
How about artist/song info?
I am curious how others listen using this Addon. Do they leave the Pandora window up or go to the XBMC music playback display? I generally leave the Pandora window up - particularly now since I want to access the thumbs. So, for me the list of stations on the left seems obtrusive (yes, I am nitpicking here) and I wish it would go away once I have selected a station.

I am on ATV2 using a TiVo remote so I don't think I have those buttons. For video playback, I edited the Joystick.xml file to suit my needs. Maybe I need to do the same for music playback.
Do those buttons work the same for you whether you are in the Pandora screen (thumbs up/down screen) or the XBMC music playback screen (with Pandora playing)?
Yes, I meant the artwork in the Pandora screen. It's better now.

eTip Wrote:One thing I just noticed - it keeps fading in and out by itself. Has that always done that?
Yes it always has. I changed it so it doesn't do it as quickly as previous versions. Personally I don't like the fading so a I turned it down a bit...
eTip Wrote:I like HTPC Guy's skin and am using that. I would like to see that or something like it be the default.
That can be easily done. I'm guessing he won't mind.
eTip Wrote:any way to add the ability to check the last several songs played like in the IOS app?
I am not familar with the iOS application. Do you have a screen shot so I can understand what you are refering to?
eTip Wrote:How about artist/song info?
Pandora offers quite a bit in the way of additional information and I would love to give access to it. My problem is working within the current layout and my lack of graphic artist capabilties. I am not all that fond of the current layout. If I could, I would use the current window/dialog to display much more interesting info. Some ways to adjust the space could include:
- Reduce or eliminate the real estate taken up by the station list. Typically I put on a station and listen to it for hours. I don't need to see all my other stations all the time
- Make the "Pandora" graphics much smaller
- Tighten up the layout of current information, buttons and progress bar
- Add additional fields such as playlist, artist info, album info, genre, lyrics, etc
What doesn't fit in the current real estate could be moved to a secondary dialog.

50/50 beteween having the Pandora dialog up and watching the screen saver...
eTip Wrote:So, for me the list of stations on the left seems obtrusive (yes, I am nitpicking here) and I wish it would go away once I have selected a station.
I completely agree!
Can anyone work with me on a new layout? You'll work on the layout & graphics. I'll work on coding the interface and pulling/parsing the information from Pandora...

Steve
