[RELEASE] Pandora Radio (Script) Music Addon (Updated 2011-11-13 : V1.2.8)

Interesting. I wonder if the slow load time from some of the users above is related to the number of stations they have to queue up.

I only have 3 stations set in Pandora. From the time I click on the script to the time it pops up is 4.5 seconds. And when I click on a particular station, it starts almost instantly.

Interesting thought, but I only have 6 stations, so I don't think that is it.

Like Gilsil asked, does it work from the UK?

This is freakin awesome. Nice to have it built in. If I start pandora then exit it, and then try to go into it again it would lock up XBMC. I have edited the following code to make that stop happening:

1. default.py starting at line 108:

Code:

    def quit( self ):

        if self.gui != None:

            if self.playing:

               self.playing = False

               self.player.stop()

            self.gui.close()

        self.die = True

2. pandagui.py starting at line 28:

Code:

    def onAction(self, action):

        buttonCode =  action.getButtonCode()

        actionID   =  action.getId()

        if (actionID == ACTION_PREVIOUS_MENU ):

            self.panda.quit()

            self.close()

Thanx a ton for creating this... mad props....

RE: Working outside the US
I am unsure exactly what I would need to do in order to get it working in other countries.

RE: Slow load times for station list
I have not experienced this myself. The list of stations is retrieved in a single HTTP request and minimal processing done on it, so the number of stations shouldn't really make a difference.

@jurmb84 / RE: Crash when re-opening
I have a working fix for this issue and a few other changes that addresse the more underlying issue in the works. However, I am home on break through next week and unfortunately forgot to grab the files from my desktop before I left school. I remember the majority of the changes I made, so I may end up re-writing them, but otherwise it'll have to wait until the Monday after next for me to get back.

Any suggestions on debugging this? Seems others have noticed the same problem. It certainly isn't a CPU issue, mine is barely breaking a sweat while I wait. Maybe it has something to do with the certificate that gets downloaded. I'm a paying member of Pandora....not sure if that would make a difference.

I do see this in my log file

im in Australia so obviously pandora wont work for me...normally
although i have a proxy setup in America so i can use my http proxy to listen to pandora...

so.. we have the ability in xbmc to connect to a http proxy
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Network_Settings

now apparently scripts dont use the http proxy.

so to get pandora to work for those of us outside the USA who have proxy servers inside the USA.... the script needs to use the http proxy settings which have been entered and enabled in xmbc

is this possible?

Trying this on my xbox setup - throwing the following error just in the regular log:
22:05:39 M: 12255232 ERROR: CMPlayer::OpenFile : Access violation at 0x0026aee4: Reading location 0x0238c000

Flashes 'opening file 100%' a few times and then nothing happens.
