    Pandora Timeshifting App: Main Discussion Thread

    in Pandora Timeshifting

    Posted

    @ColdFusion: Works excellently! Now I can save the files into subfolders without any problems!

    @homebrew Hacks: If you get that message, just click on "grab this track". Then it should rip it. But that happend sometimes even with the last CF version on the first file to rip, it's not an error in CF3!

    edit:

    ok, just getting UNKNOWN STATION as foldername, but that seems to be the only prob for me by now!

    pandora.jar error

    Sorry guys but you must obviously be doing something wrong!

    I'm running PJ without any problems!

    so again same old stuff:

    - use the version 7.4.0 beta CF3 (http://www.hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=53287#53287)

    - make sure you run flash 8, not 9, or use the flash switcher extension

    - use the greasemonkey-script or the trick with opening pandora.com in another tab to get rid of the "you have to update"-message (read the corresponding threads, there is not only one about this issue...)

    You CAN run PJ without major problems - I do, so why shouldn't you be able?

    @CF your version is realy great! but I am experiencing a little problem... PJ is throwing an error message when I adapt the save-path to anything than /%a - %t, saying that it can't grap the mp3 because the system can't find the path specified and displaying the path it should actually create!

    So instead of creating the folders it's just claiming it can't find the path (which of course it can't because it should create them! ;-))

    The problem even occurs then I comment out the line for the path so it uses the standard options. But as I said using /%a - %t is working fine, as it doesn't have to create any folders.

    Another thing is that it won't find the correct station and album name, as I can see in the path it throws in the error message.

    Hope you have any idea about this.

    Using your improved 7.4 with flash 8 and FF1.5.0.9, cruise-control off.

    edit: aww and another thing! The mp3s saved into the mismatches-folder are empty except the ID3 information! So they're just files with the MP3 first and then ID3 header with the information. I think that's not supposed to be correct, is it?

    Cooper, you're so great, man! :-)

    I have been waiting for a new PJ release for weeks now, as I don't understand anything about that other plugin-thing they're talking about in the forum and this Unleashed-proggi re-downloads the files which causes extra-bandwidth on the pandora-servers. Thank you so much, I will test it now!

    edit:

    oh, I just re-read that one part... So you're just re-downloading the files just as this Unleashed-thing is doing? hmmm...

    P.P.S. downloadlink not working! ;)

    Pandora Hack - Ultimate Edition

    If we'd find out how the Songs get encoded into the 8c77d06f478033d0-code-filenames, it would be possible to download a Song just by typing in artist and title! ;-)

    A greasemonkey script wouldn't be bad either, but I think it will be as complicated as Pandora's Jar when you add new songs or artists to a station or if you skip songs, because a new XML file will be created...

    So why not just working on updating Pandora's Jar? Why creating something new??

    Oh and does anybody know what happens after the 3 next files have played? Does it create a new XML file then? Didn't have time to check that out!

    edit:

    another thing... It's possible now to get the album art with the XML file, that would be a great improvement for PJ!!! ;)

    New version of Pandora?

    I would love for it to save automatically, so it would build a library of bios to go with the songs.

    library is a realy good keyword... You could even expand it to built a real library where you can click and read through... Best way would be HTML so you can realy view it on every computer! PJ could then just generate a new html page with the album art and the bio and add a link to it on the index-page!

    What do you think of that idea?

    Does anyone know the method that uses Pandora to remember?

    Dude, ive been on this forum a while (near the begining) and ive seen the n00biest n00b posts, posted by a n00b who studied n00b at the university of n00b, yet the regulars on here are 99% of the time polite and point said n00b in the correct direction.

    Yes, and sometimes you can even see nerds posting here, who studied nerdity at the nerd university of nerdern island (which is far better than the university of n00b imho!)...

    Couldn't have said it better than you, wetelectric! :-)

    New version of Pandora?

    hmmm hmmm hmmm...

    updated the html, the js and the jar... tried the different .jar files in the archive but it doesn't rip... still that message... quite strange!

    ok, dunno why, but now it saves the songs (is there still this problem with the first song not being grabbed?)

    Does it tag the album title for you?

    New version of Pandora?

    I know that COOPER doesn't want to hear about the ripping feature... but maybe someone else does! *g*

    Befor the changes on pandora.com, for me PJ worked perfectly and for many others it didn't... Now it seems that it works for many others but for me it doesn't! No files are being saved and the window throws the good old message "unable to rip MP3 unable to find file make sure you have Pandora running in a FIRFOX browser"

    strange, strange, strange...

    edit:

    did I maybe use the wrong files of the archive?! Everything is twice in there, once in the root and again in a folder named "pandora-7.4.0"...

    Uhm... You didn't check what PandorasJar actually does, did ya? ;)

    Because it actually does what you described since it exists... It grabs the plugtmp-files and the files in the plugtmp-folders and renames them (well it used to rename them, now it stopped... but the coding-skilled guys are working to fix that! ;))!

    New version of Pandora?

    Yes, exactly. It would be useful to know, how the versions that worked until the latest changes of pandora were getting the artist/title information. If they would have taken it directly out of the flash file, it would still work (except if the pandora guys changed the name of some variables or something like that)... So there must have been another way... But IS it possible to access any info within the flash file at all? 'Coz then you could just get it from there... Or as someone suggestet, let PJ follow the "backstage"-link in the background - if possible - and get the information from there... If following the link is possible, it should be no problem getting the artist/title info via the DOM!

    edit:

    Did you mention that there is another flash file embedded on the original pandora site? It's http://pandora.com/Secretary.swf

    I don't know if that exists in PJ as well... I know there's another "invisible" flash file embedded in PJ as well, but I don't know if it's also the Secretary.swf!?

    just a neat friendly question...

    DID YOU F*CKING READ THE FREAKING THREAD OR AT LEAST THE POST ABOVE YOURS?

    Thanks for your attention.

    And to be not such a prick (but I somehow needed that little sally, sorry ;)):

    No the project is not dead yet (can an open-source project die at all??), but the main coders that endowed us with the previous versions seem to have not enough time to work on...

    If you take a teensy-weensy look at the poodledy-doodledy-post above you...

    you will see this: http://www.hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t...sc&start=15

    and next time don't be too lazy. Sorry for offending you but we had that several times in the big pandora-thread, so I'm quite upset! ;)

    oh... did I mention that I tend to be choleric in some situations?

    gotta have something to do with my multiple personality disorder...
