ZigZagJoe Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 It would be the in the source of the webpage; but, as there is no auto-mangling page in the log, it's obviously not getting written. Is low bandwidth mode enabled? That's the only reason it would not automatically make the changes, or if you are using an odd URL to access Pandora (IE. not http://www.pandora.com or http://pandora.com, and not using the miniplayer) Also, good, those logs gave me a good idea of what went wrong: the paths are too long. Copy and paste your save folder address here (C:\Documents.. or whatever.) so i can confirm it. A low of windows functions have a 255 char path length limit, a holdover from Dos-based windowses, even though NTFS support 4096. It seems that it was butting into that. What i do if i dont rip, just listen: I have a whitelist in foxyproxy for *.pandora.com* Then i have blacklisted: *.swf* *image* *audio* The result is that any blacklisted items are transfered directly and just the ones which are on the whitelist and not on blacklist will be transfered via TOR network So after an hour of listening i only load 2 megabytes on TOR works great, and it would be even greater if you find a way to make this work with sproxy :) Because it seems like TOR causes a lot of problems when ripping, i have a lot of delay and connection problems, but it still works most of the time :) Hmm. I see. The blacklist i've implemented will be able to handle that, though the SWF file will probably have to be downloaded via Tor; Sproxy does not meddle with the SSL connection used to download it. Might or might not get that to work. Still, it would be a great improvement for sure (I tried listening via tor a few times for sake of testing....it did work, but god damn if it wasn't slow to load initially) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brofix Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 RE: recording quality There are no known quality enhancements to be made to these processes.

In other words the result is as good as the stream itself or it is indiscernibly different from it? (Remember: I already admitted to being ignorant.) Yes - the data saved as mp4 files is the same data that Pandora plays. Can't get any better. However, the quality selected if you are using trancoding will affect the quality to some degree. Hmm, doesn't look like that save path is too long. Do you have a log of PS when it happened? Development note. Got Exemptions working properly: there is now the option to only send pandora control URLs through SProxy's configured proxy. This may obsolete low bandwidth mode; however that will stay for sake of compatibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSkaramanga Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi ! Thanks for your asome work! but i have a problem, about 30 percent of the mp3s have massive clipping, others have cristal clear sound is there a way to set a parameter for the mp3 encoding for normalize the mp3s and, can i remove the clipping anyhow without quality loss ? Thanks, have a goot day Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brofix Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Do you have a log of PS when it happened? No, because the log is scrapped when the failure occurs, or seems to be. I'll watch out for it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PandoraSaver->Settings->Advanced->Start logging (it will change to stop logging once pressed) Then look for log.txt in the save folder. Hi !

Thanks, have a goot day Dr. Clipping? What do you mean? Too short? or is the volume wrong? As for LAME settings; you are on your own as i have not used lame outside of a few tests. I haven't the faintest what its other options are. Misc note: Think i found the reason why tons of memory could be used but all of it was unaccounted for. Was an "optimization". Supposedly.

brofix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 No news likely. The first hiccup like this: Proxy Server Refused Connection Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. The browser is configured to use a proxy server, but the proxy refused a connection. * Is the browser's proxy configuration correct? Check the settings and try again. * Does the proxy service allow connections from this network? * Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.

ZigZagJoe Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 No news likely: Can you bring up the mini-site ( http://127.0.0.1:8888/ ) in your browser? If not, something is evidently using the same port as SProxy (however, you should get a message to that effect when you try to launch it). If you can bring it up, but not other sites, verify that you have the details in correctly. You also might check if there is a "ghost" sproxy running (that is, a hung process with no window). If it doesn't come up, check the listen port setting in SProxy config (under minimize to tray). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brofix Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 So when Sproxy fails during an unattended turbo session, it may leave behind a considerable number of unnamed mp4s in the form of temp.dat files. This seems odd since it seems to take care of naming them more or less in line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems odd since it seems to take care of naming them more or less in line. Actually, it's the pandorasaver module that is failing, not SProxy. How many temp.dat files were there, exactly? I think what might be happening is somewhere in the worker thread something hairballs and throws that error you saw, but as the tamper method did not throw the error sproxy goes happily on with pandora. But, the temp files never get processed or reaped when there is too many, hence that... Atleast i have an idea what is going wrong; Something in the worker thread is throwing an IOException, in the outermost try-catch (which re-throws errors after logging them). If you can get a log it would help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZigZagJoe Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Aha. Got it. It truncates the length of the song name (because of filesystem stuff), but it compares against the full length names (thus they do not match). and thusly thinks they do not exist and tries to rip again.

Yeah, because it is also trying to organize it, too, so it included the long name twice. I'd recommend dropping %album%\ from the organization format ("Folder structure"); not much point in putting it in a folder named for the album when the album is also in the name of the file.

My perception is that I'm getting fewer saves, but that must be due to other factors, the most common being that the file already exists.
