[OBSOLETE] Pandora Radio (Script) Music Addon
#1
This addon has not been maintained in a long time, and is broken more often than not of late. To anyone looking, I suggest giving the new Pandoki addon a try.

I want to extend a major Thank You to everyone who helped support the addon and keep it functioning over the years. If anyone wants to take over and continue maintaining this I'd suggest creating a new thread as this one is long and confusing enough already. If you do, please send me a PM and I will update this message to link to the new thread.

Thank You

Now go enjoy some music and give me feedback Big Grin

Please use a pastebin service when posting logs to reduce clutter in the thread. Thank you. (Plenty to choose from, take your pick)

P.S. Please remember that Pandora needs to pay royalties for the music they play, and it's the ads which they show on their site that allow them to do so. If you intend to use this script extensively please consider upgrading to a Pandora One account to support them and keep the music flowing. You may also wish to use a separate account for this script just in case they decide to start disabling accounts or something, don't want to loose all your stations and such.

I've taken the download down temporarily. Found some issues upon further testing.

I'm also starting to question whether I should actually release this considering the way it accesses Pandora using non-public api calls... I don't want to get sued...

I really hope to see this... it looks great, and I would love to use it in XBMC Smile
I love my Mac Mini :;):

You're using pianobar, right? Its creator publishes the source (and binaries) of pianobar, and I don't think he's had any legal issues.

Plus, I don't think using non-public API calls is illegal, is it? Look at the whole Hulu/Boxee debacle a few months ago -- I don't think Hulu ever considered legal action, only technical barriers. I'm sure if they had a legal case, they would've pursued it.

New download up Smile. I believe I've fixed the issues that were causing it to stop playing randomly (stupid mistake on my part Rolleyes)

Installation has become slightly more involved, but it affords me a bit of piece of mind. Instructions in the first post (should be fairly self-explanatory.)

Hello,

Thank you for working on this! Having some issues with the latest SVN:

Code:

Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

keller999,
As the addon branch is merged into SVN, there are going to be a number of changes potentially breaking existing scripts. This script was written for the pre-merge xbmc python bindings. Once everything is settled with the merge and new python docs released, I will adjust it accordingly.

Thanks for the info! When it's ready for SVN, I'll be happy to test there. =)

Script works great! One question, how do you exit from the script? I haven't been able to exit with the script with the remote control (I'm using an AppleTV).

@m_lopez_h,
It should currently exit with either the Back button, or with the Esc key. What button do you typically go back with?

@viking2003
Sorry about that, thought I fixed that one already. New download up.

If I run XBMC on my PC then yes...I can exit with the <esc> key or <back> button. However, when running on the AppleTV all I have is the remote control (so no access to esc or back keys). All other scripts exit with the <menu> key.

Is it possible to add <menu> keypress to exit the script?

BTW, very cool script!

Ok, try that.

I really need to come up with a better way to handle this than repacking a new zip for every change. Will probably set up a repo on github tomorrow or something.
