I tried using your IRC channel like a good little user, but it keeps kicking me saying I am banned although I have never logged into that channel before. Shrug. I hope you check this occasionally..... Why did we lose the download button in the new version?

That's probably it. I have NewGUIEnabled = False for my own reasons. Oh well, nothing major.

Great work as always. Question on the skins though(Pandora). I read the info in the zip file you referenced, I get how to make my own and deploy it. I cannot, however, get the included skins to apply. Did I miss something in the install, maybe? There are no skin files on my machine, but the previews show when I click "Reload". Says they are in pcclient-base, but I have no such directory. Thanks!

Fast on the draw there, ZZJ. Beat me to it. :)

I can answer that one, I bet. If you are upgrading from an old version (SProxy) be sure that your internet settings are not stuck and set to use a local proxy. If that's the case, the installer is getting redirected to your local machine and there is no proxy running.

Same here. However if you go directly to Pandora.com, it takes forever to load (I gave up waiting) so I suspect that something is going on with Pandora at the moment and S2 is reading that as a protocol upgrade and throwing the error. I'd wait until Pandora will connect normally and try again

Just FYI, sent the same as the OP from the same user.

ZZJ, Is there an advanced setting to get the single "save" button back in the Pandora Client as opposed to the Song Options menu? I scanned through there, but didn't see anything that jumped out.

That makes sense as some of the text referenced an in use socket and while testing this I was able to get it to crash without changing anything on the dialog and just clicking OK. Song Fader. I never really use it, but decided on a whim to use it today. That last crash was after running for a while. It's not like it is constantly crashing. That seemed to be related to the socket issue in the first post. If I was guessing what was going on based on the referenced lines in the error, I would say that you are subclassing the Fader to control it and somehow that got confused during a callback. Probably nothing really to do with your code.

Just and FYI, the errors seem to be consistent when the Fader is used. If I don't use that (so far), everything works fine

I got the app to start back up and run for a while. Now it will crash with the following in the log: 1/7/2010 2:14:02 PM S166301: Started downloading 1/7/2010 2:14:02 PM Saver2: StreamPlayer: Data pipe ready 1/7/2010 2:14:03 PM Saver2: StreamPlayer: Pipe connected 1/7/2010 2:14:04 PM Saver2: StreamPlayer: Starting data transfer 1/7/2010 2:14:04 PM Something has went horribly wrong in SProxy.

Here's a new one... I went into Advanced Config and changed the fader setting to only fade to 75. After clicking ok there and clicking through the warnings. SProxy now won't start. I even went so far as to uninstall and reinstall with clearing the settings. Here's what is in the log: 1/7/2010 11:10:17 AM Error in bandwidth logging?! System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Proxy.Charts.TimerCallbackProc(Object n) in E:\Codin' Projects\Saver Project\SProxy\Charts.cs:line 186 When it starts the message "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permittied......" It references lines: E:\Codin' Projects\Saver Project\SProxy\Server.cs:line 119 and E:\Codin' Projects\Saver Project\SProxy\CORE.cs:line 191 Those are paths from your machine. Did launching the Advanced config dialog trigger some section of code that has hard coded paths?

Well, that seems to have fixed it. Pandora_NewGuiEnabled I'm a very curious developer so I am going to try and figure this out. I bet that even though I can flip the bits to turn on/off the border and window layering, that there is one more I am missing. And, so, the transparency is mucked up when it gets embedded. On another note, I am going to keep an eye out for you on another error I was seeing today (and only today) with version 1.2.1 built on 12/28/2009 - 8:29:46 to see if it persists here. About every third song, the client would stop and the scrolling text that shows artist and song title would be replaced with "C Error: Unexpected violation" or something like that. This may be fixed in this release, but I found it weird that it only showed up today and I have been using the above version since the 28th. Made me think that Pandora changed something in their protocol. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out.

Yep, works just fine outside the wrapper. I'll try changing the advanced setting and see what happens. I remember you saying a few posts back that you were implementing some of this in a usercontrol. I bet that is keeping the window from being set to the topmost window in the container and therefore not showing. Again, nothing gone wrong on your end, just a Windows API thing I am sure. I'll sort it out.

Hmmm, nevermind about the borders, I think the way the window is created now is the problem. How are you creating the pandora client window? As I have mentioned, I run this inside a wrapper. What it does is grab the Sproxy and Pandora windows and embeds them inside my own form. This allows me to have a dashboard of sorts with only one icon on the taskbar, control the system volume and balance and basically just control everything in one window. I am still able to grab the pandora window and embed it, but it is not visible. I thought the borderless property was causing that and then maybe the transparency. However, I am able to flip these bits and turn the border back on and kill the layering and the problem persists, so that it out. So, I am looking into what has changed on window creation. It still gets embedded, just not visible. Checking the values from GetWindowRect, they never change so I suspect that I am grabbing the wrong handle now.
