  1. Hi DarkOne,

    I browsed through a lot of FireFox .XPI extensions

    lately and found this one, it's made for RadioBlog:

    http://www.adrien-gallou.fr/?page=radioblog

    I wasn't able to make it work but it claims to be

    able to retreive titles while the temporary music

    files (in .MP3 format without an extension) are

    present in the FireFox cache directory - using an

    older version of Flash Player, of course...  Who

    knows, perhaps this might open a new perspective.

    I look forward to evaluating your next release!

    :-)

  2. Hi DarkOne,

    I've downloaded 'pandora_7.9_alpha.zip' which seems

    to be about the latest experiments made by Cooper

    this winter and i couldn't find the "tmp"/"temp"

    strings or their letter-case variants once and not

    even in what looks like source-code.  I did the

    same with an archive mentioned in this post but i

    found no joy there:  "Complete Working Install

    Package+Instructions for OS X"...  Well that's no

    Linux but i was hoping to get some clues anyway.

    Perhaps if you search for Cooper and people who

    wrote to him it will lead to an e-Mail address or

    something...  I'll take a look at Pandoras' Jar

    log file in any case, there's nothing to loose.  :-)

  3. Hi DarkOne_05,

    I did notice an "export TEMP=" string in the .sh

    Linux script, the script itself didn't work but i

    vaguely recall trying to make use of it in my Slax

    module, last month.  This animation confirmed the

    temporary directory was located at '/tmp/plugtmp':

    The music files are easy to identify because Linux

    looks at the content instead of extensions only...

    The cache is more complicated to find.  Even if the

    Flash Switcher v1.0.0 utility is for Windows .DLLs

    instead of the Linux SlackWare .so ones it's still

    reading the Flash version from the 'pluginreg.dat'

    file accurately though, it also knows exactly where

    the cache is located if i try to setup preferences,

    if i remember correctly...  It wouldn't be hard to

    recycle a part of its code should that be necessary.

    Perhaps it's time for me to search for some debug

    resource inside Pandora's Jar, a log file generated

    internally would do fine!  I'll see what comes up.

  4. Hi,

    I've put a few hours on it but the grab button still

    fails to work:  it's complaining about being "unable

    to locate artist and song information" (or "artist

    info" and "album info" if you like).  It doesn't work

    at all unless i leave JavaScript active and the .MP3

    files are nowhere to be found if i use Flash Player

    v9.0 r48 instead of v7.0 r63 (no v8 in Linux!)...  I

    think references to the temporary directory might

    be a problem but i guess i'll just sleep on it.

    :roll:

  5. Hi,

    Here's what i worked on, everything is fine in it

    until one tries to "grab" music (because directory

    structures differ):

    http://forums.hak5.org/index.php/topic,7173.0.html

    This is a Linux Live CD, no permanent installation

    needed.  One boots with it or he can use VMWare:

    http://forums.hak5.org/index.php/topic,7049.0.html

    I'm about to experiment with the v8 release but it

    won't work if there are any leftovers of some hard-

    coded file path in it.  You'll hear of me again...

    ;-)

  6. Using VMWare and enough computing resources you can also run two instances of Slax/NimbleX

    in combination with my Pandora module but the DownLoads are only manual so far, i'm afraid, not

    to mention that such an abuse would certainly put a lot of stress on the Tor network anyway!!!

  7. Hi,

    This site generates an .ISO CD image on-line which can

    include 'Firefox v2.0', 'Tor & Privoxy', 'Tork v0.10'

    and 'Torbutton'.  Just choose "Custom", select every

    single category if you wish to explore and choose later

    then finish up by picking a WallPaper - and perhaps an

    alternate KDE language if needed.  It can't be simpler:

    Custom NimbleX 2 Live CD Generator

    customnimblex2livecdgenrp3.gif

    Now here's the catch, i don't know how one is supposed

    to control TorK so that he would connect through USA

    only.  If you find out how, get the package which i've

    published here a few days ago and use '/etc/tor/torrc'

    in order to use a larger server-base than the two from

    a previous post:  we can't all suck juice from the very

    same guy, after all!  Of course, don't forget the Java

    (JRE) support when generating a Slax-based Live CD...

    :mrgreen:

  8. Hi TehEsco,

    I needed a few days to familiarize with it all but TorK's "First-Run Wizard" was quite helpful

    at the begining:  the NickNames from USA were relatively easily collected to be added to

    my '/etc/tor/torrc' configuration file and i also made an important addition:  it turns out that

    "StrictExitNodes 1" should prevent slipping out of USA...  But what a headhache i have now!

    :zombie:

    Anyway, my .mo/.lzm module works on Slax, NimbleX and BackTrack in a satisfying way as

    long as i just want to listen to Pandora and put aside a few temporary MP3 audio files but

    i'm afraid that making the "Grab this Track" button work again is too much of a challenge for

    me.  Ha, and TOR must be up-to-date (v0.1.2.16) because of a security risk, i heard...

    Good Day!  :)

  9. Hi Razor512,

    I gave the 'Pandora mediaplayer.exe' archive a try

    so here's what i noticed, even if i didn't test it

    extensively. The grab button is fixed, the Title/

    Artist directories & fields seem to work normally,

    the Album directory & field are OK when available,

    the Track #, Year and Genre Fields worked if those

    were available as well... The Comment field still

    declares "ripped by [PaNDoRas jAR] your source for

    listening pleasure" but that's cured when clearing

    the 'pandoraGrabber.js' &Comment field. Anyway, i

    checked my Flash version through this address 1st:

    http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/flash/about/

    (result is 8.0.24.0)

    Then made sure that Pandora will be happy with it:

    about:plugins

    (result is 9.0.21 d55)

    As you can imagine, it means i read the 'txt1.txt'

    file where you show how to edit 'pluginreg.dat'...

    I don't understand what 'Pandora media player.exe'

    and the link it calls are meant to do so i ignored

    them, moved my whole 'Pandora' directory elsewhere

    and put pack my own version of 'Pandora.BAT'; ha,

    and SRS Audio SandBox v1.3.x simply fits Pandora's

    Jar wonderfully! There are error warnings related

    to Last.FM but that's still a nice contribution!!!

    Did i say thanks?...

    :wink:

  10. Hi ColdFusion,

    My file is here and Slax sits at the next address:

    http://download.yousendit.com/9F1C52B435888714

    'Pandora_Flash7Fixed.mo', 4788 KiloBytes

    http://www.slax.org/download.php

    SLAX Standard Edition v5.1.8.1, 192 MegaBytes

    Insert these Java and FireFox modules in the .ISO:

    http://www.slax.org/modules.php?category=system&id=1800

    Java 2 JRE v1.5.0_09, 30.43 MegaBytes

    http://www.slax.org/modules.php?category=network&id=2096

    Mozilla FireFox v2.0.0.1, 9.44 MegaBytes

    I hope this FireFox module has Java ready, the one

    i got is in foreign language so it's no good here.

    Module insertion can't be made easier if you do it

    with a utility such as UltraISO: you just add the

    file to the /modules/ pre-existing directory if it

    must be loaded automatically or /optional/ if not.

    The Flash v9 plugin is already included on Slax so

    my Pandora module overwrites it with the older one

    and modifies the .DAT file as was explained to us.

    Of course, it's not a finished product (the launch

    KMenu links need to be revised) but i'm quite sure

    you and your readers can cope with a console line,

    search for a pair of simple scripts at the root...

    :wink:

  11. Hi,

    I created a Slax module of Pandora's Jar CF7 to be

    used under Linux (Live CD)... 'pluginreg.dat' has

    been modified to disguise flash v7.0.25.0 as flash

    v9.0 d55, "about:plugins" says it's effectively v9

    while http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ says

    it's v7.0.25.0, actually (which is correct). I've

    created a pair of KMenu links to launch the server

    then FireFox at this location: 127.0.0.1:8085 (it

    fails with localhost); the Pandora player doesn't

    complain about flash v7 and starts normally but no

    music can be grabbed because it's unable to locate

    artist and song information, as the text below the

    button says. There are .MP3 files in /tmp/plugtmp

    so i'm wondering if that's a flash version problem

    (there's no v8 available) or if it's because i got

    it dead wrong when i pointed TEMP at /tmp/plugtmp.

    :cry:
