Installed Pandoki, got bad username/pass or proxy.
Got the same in Pandora Slim.
Check their webpage.
Service Unavailable
Bla bla bla...

Edit:Working now.
I have great timing!

Padoki 0.5. is crashing on startup.

0.5.1 is working. Thanks. I see there is now a "quit pandoki" option on the station list.

Very nice - been using the old Pandora plugin for quite a while. Nice to see something more integrated with the XBMC player and not a standalone script.

One thing I did like about the old Pandora JSON plugin was the ability to automatically start the last played station when the addon was launched. Is this something you might want to add to your version?

Done! plugin.audio.pandoki-0.5.2.zip is up!

Added song duration to the playlist and removed the 'Quit Pandoki' (just press Stop to quit)
The bad news is you have to reenter your user/pass. The good news is you can have 3 sets of user/pass.

Does anyone have and use the 'Pandora One' option? If you turn it off does everything still work?

Pandoki 0.5.2 is crashing on startup.

Should be fixed in plugin.audio.pandoki-0.5.3.zip. Turns out Pandora will give you station art if you ask nicely. Sometimes.

The machinery is in place to do ratings so we need to decide what the stars mean. I'm thinking

• 5 - Thumbs Up on Pandora
  
• 4 - Add Song to Station Variety
  
• 3 - Default. Do nothing (maybe remove Thumbs Up)
  
• 2 - Mark song Tired (wont play for 30 days)
  
• 1 - Thumbs Down on Pandora
  
• 0 - Thumbs Down and remove from Playlist and Library
  

And add 'Save Likes to Library' to track handling option that only saves anything 4 or 5 stars.
Thoughts?

sounds cool - I hope I can recall all those options when I need them :-)
I guess I will print a little cheat sheet

regarding the save to library option - how did you think about implementing this? If I want to save every played song to library I use the library option in settings. If I'm in stream or cache mode the star-rating gives me the option to save files on demand, right?

[gominoa]

It doesnt have to be that complex. We could also just make it: (or both with a setting)

• 5,4 - Thumbs Up
  
• 3 - Default. Do nothing
  
• 0,1,2 - Thumbs Down
  

All you guys together are going to be pushing the buttons more than me alone. So I need some feedback.

regarding the save to library option - how did you think about implementing this?

I think it'll be 3 options

• Stream Only - no way to save
  
• Save Likes - same as current Cache Only but saves 4+5 star ratings
  
• Save Everything - does what it says

I like this option better, mostly because of "I'm Tired Of This". There are lots of songs that I like but Pandora sometimes over plays them to the point that I have to tell them to stop. Would really like to see this function get added. If not in ratings then maybe an extra button.

Awesome work!!!
Pandora in its rightful state, as a plugin!

cheers!

I have been trying to get this to work since last night. Using the "cache" function it will only save 30 seconds of the files (4 of them at once) then Pandora will kick me off and throw a "too many songs requested" error.

Is there any reason why it is trying to stream 4 (or more) songs at once? It also kicks the cpu usage up to over 75% per core (dual core) causing me to have to reboot my Chromebox on Pandora Slim. (Pandoki does not cause this)

It does stream fine in stream only mode

I've finally gotten a chance to try this out and it's working great. Just a little cosmetic issue. When I'm playing the music stream this is what I see-







How do I change it to this?





I'm guessing I need another addon maybe. Or is this a skin issue?

[txcanyon]

Ok, I've managed to get it to work somewhat, but one issue still:

1) With Pandora One account ticked, it does not work, gives a script error:
Error when using Pandora One account

Also when using smb:// as my Saved location, it does not put the downloaded album art in the folder

[gominoa]

Uploaded plugin.audio.pandoki-0.5.4.zip with track rating. Two modes in settings:

Simple:

• 5,4 - Thumbs Up
  
• 3 - Default. Remove previous rating or Nothing
  
• 2,1,0 - Thumbs Down
  

Expert

• 5 - Thumbs Up on Pandora
  
• 4 - Add Song to Station Variety
  
• 3 - Default. Remove previous rating or Nothing
  
• 2 - Mark song Tired (wont play for 30 days)
  
• 1,0 - Thumbs Down on Pandora
  

With Pandora One account ticked, it does not work

Should be fixed.

Also when using smb:// as my Saved location, it does not put the downloaded album art in the folder

Not sure. Got a log? Do the songs still save?

How do I change it to this? Or is this a skin issue?

I'm using the default Confluence skin. I do have it set to "Media Info" in the left menu of the playlist.
