Hawaii Guy Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I know a lot of you probably don't use iTunes but this is something I just noticed...I was renaming the files from MP4 to M4A so that I could just highlight and <enter> for auto-import to iTunes. What I noticed in iTunes was the time of the song was displaying incorrectly - almost double the actual playtime, but I could live with it. BUT I didn't realize that if I either imported or dragged the actual .MP4 file into iTunes, it would show the correct playtime. Stupid me! So I guess I'm not gonna have to rename these files from here on! ZZJ - I know I've asked this before - I'm still getting the wrong album cover art placed into the MP4 files. I know you said you were caching it...I find a file album.png in the saved files directory which is the album cover that has been tagged to each MP4 from that session. SP is running now; I viewed 2 files in this current session and they contain the .PNG file. I just deleted the .PNG file, and I now looked at 2 files that were saved after the deletion and those .MP4s do not have any cover art. Does anyone know if this might be a Vista file protection problem or is it just me lol ??? And I do hope you are getting some sleep, ZZJ!

What's happening is that it is finding the already existing album art, thus not re-writing it and so it uses the old one, which is for the song you just ripped as ripped files are not being segregated. I'll make it name album arts for their specific album from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is messed up; that's about all i can tell from that. I'd recommend trying the firefox portable I'm going to release with the new version (after I finish some testing, to swat some odd bugs). The overnight stress test went good, memory use is still 16mb, with 22.5k requests handled, 25026297075 (23.3GB) bytes downloaded, and 9 hours 30 minutes running. PS ripped 194 of 11743 songs sniffed (turbo mode). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZigZagJoe Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hmm, well, i can't find anything else to test (abuse) on it so it's release time. Now up to version 1.002a for SProxy and 1.008a for PandoraSaver. Changes of note: PS: New - Song-fader window: displays songs when sniffed or ripped. Auto-launch command on start (url or browser, etc) Exemptions for data urls (bypass Tor for audio when using it for location-fooling) Improved strict duplicate checking. It is now the default. (checks for songformat.* , ie files with the same name with any extension) Hidden config options such as thumbs up downloading have been exposed in the config form. Bugfixes - Blacklist now functions correctly with turbo mode. Album art with flat directory structure Station tag not functioning properly Fix for overly-long file names not matching properly. Auto-reload now enabled for mini player Memory use improved Others which i can't recall SP: New - New & Improved connection core. (Pre-req to keep-alive implementation) Greatly improved memory use. Support for url exemptions (not exposed to user atm) Files larger than 8mb will be sent directly, so SProxy isn't allocating (sizeofresponse * 3) at times. Some bugfixes. Binaries: http://zzj.itf-inc.com/SPPS1.002a1.008a.zip Firefox Portable: http://zzj.itf-inc.com/Firefox-P-SProxy.zip Extract the firefox portable zip into where SProxy.exe is located. Overwrite SProxy.conf if you want it to automatically launch when you start SProxy. If you do not want to overwrite your config, add "FireFox-P/LaunchFirefoxPortable.exe" as the autorun command, under PS advanced options. PS is at 4143 lines and SProxy 3082 (not really a simple proxy anymore is it?) Is there a way to make it not automatically rip songs that you give a thumbs ui, since it already has the download button in the page it causes duplicates to form and ruins playlist in windows media player since it automatically scans the folder also for version 1.007 is there a way to give the user the option to disable the feature in simple proxy in which it will automatically change proxy settings in IE many applications get their connections settings from IE and it can slow them down if they have to go through the proxy and it can also stop all connections if the app crashes, in which case IE will still be using the proxy settings even though there is no proxy server running (this will also cause a connection failure to any program that gets it's connections from IE ) (Add new posts instead of editing - i just noticed this) No. Already went over this. If IE settings are not written, then flash will not use SProxy and PandoraSaver can't rip music. Hence why i have put much work into making everything work properly - so apps can go through this and encounter no problems. Although I haven't done any serious benchmarking; in comparison to sending all traffic through fiddler, SProxy is much faster under the torture test (close firefox with 50 or so tabs open: a normal load for me, and then reopen it which means it loads a shit ton at once). Rather, I didn't notice any difference between direct and through this. Also, if this crashes, it writes the settings back (though, in prior versions probably not - this one has a global exception handler which will.)

brofix Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 When ripping, shouldn't every log entry of "Got song :" be followed by a "Saving MP4 file" or a "File already exists" or a blacklist note if that comes then or some such? Or do these actions sometimes get separated by a slew of other actions that makes them quite remote from each other in the log? On checking, it looks like the "file already exists" entry simply doesn't occur as often as the file actually exists, or maybe the file was saved but not noted as such. I dunno. Nothing. >>> Looks like the real time log behaves as expected (now. Are there diffs with the saved log?...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brofix Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Can create playlists for new music download as well as per-station playlists. Are playlists overwritten when a station is played and ripped repeatedly? I will check this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZigZagJoe Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Are playlists overwritten when a station is played and ripped repeatedly? I will check this. Playlists only contain one entry for a certain song. Got song means it added it to the queue; the worker thread will take care of any pending ones every 5 sec or so.

brofix Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Playlists only contain one entry for a certain song. But the list as a whole is a file. Are the entries for songs played on a station appended to those in the already in the playlist for a station which has been previously ripped, or is the playlist replaced/overwritten/renamed/named differently?

Are the entries for songs played on a station appended to those in the already in the playlist for a station which has been previously ripped, or is the playlist replaced/overwritten/renamed/named differently? If a song is played on a station, it gets added to that station's playlist file (doesn't matter if it is in other playlists already for other stations). Songs are appended to the end of the file. (It creates a new playlist file for each station) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fripp, as I was writing this). Have the log excerpted here but won't bother you with it. Don't beg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fripp, as I was writing this). Have the log excerpted here but won't bother you with it. Don't beg. Try enabling low bandwidth mode. Also, ensure that those files ripped are the correct length and not too short. I find that it will start doing that when pandora times out or otherwise fails to load in a timely manner. It's a bit odd. For the hell of it, I ran the siege benchmark on both fiddler and sproxy. The objective was to load google as many times as it could within 1 minute. Sproxy turned in at 1/3 the memory use of fiddler, 16mb to fiddlers 54mb; (fiddler keeps responses in RAM until they are disposed of, as a result it leaks memory like a sieve. though, that only accounts for 200*6kb worth) Sproxy used about half the CPU use of fiddler, which was 100% for one core (on fiddler). Sproxy got 2765 hits to fiddler's 2346. (meanwhile, a direct connection turned in 3681 requests) All were using 25 simultaneous connections, with no keep-alive. Neither proxy failed a request. Conclusion is that Sproxy does indeed introduce some connection latency when using many connections, when used "normally" there is little visible difference between an uninhibited connection. Also, the actual download speed is not affected at all. (SProxy will note the download speed for files that take >1 second to load.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaii Guy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Just downloaded the new version. I started SProxy, then opened up IE. The log said it started to 'mangle', then I got the station names, then it froze. IE wouldn't even process a song. So had to kill the processes, closed IE, then tried IE just with the Pandora website and songs started playing like normal. Closed IE and tried loading SP again and it locked. I had to go into IE Settings to uncheck the proxy so I could use IE normally. It did the same thing with FF so I'm not sure where the problem is - got any ideas? Hey btw, when is the Vista Gadget release coming out??? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey btw, when is the Vista Gadget release coming out??? :P Try deleting SProxy.conf - i moved options around and renamed a few (I think?) and that could be causing a snafu somewhere (though, it shouldn't...) Did sproxy literally freeze as in have the os call it non-responsive? I don't have vista (and don't particularly want it for that matter), so no gadget anytime soon :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In IE, it is saying "Waiting for http://pandora.com/include/radioAdEmbedGenre.jsp? ..." and the "It's taking longer than expected..." and just sitting there. It's just sitting there. I can't even resize the PS Log screen, and I can't click on anything in SProxy, so I have to force the program closed. Was going to download the previous version but you must have pulled it.

Was going to download the previous version but you must have pulled it. you can download the old version if add -old before .zip (SPPS1.000d1.007a-old.zip or what not). What was the last line in sproxy's log? Hmmmmmm. tried the pandora gadget (i just noticed it.) It appears to send playlist data via an encrypted SSL tunnel...actually, any data of interest goes via SSL. If the main tuner implements this, it would be game over for ripping music from pandora, atleast in the short term. I know Fiddler has some way to go about doing man in the middle attacks to allow SSL data decryption, but it requires you to mess with the certificates and is a general PITA. Oops, figured it out. I had moved a block of code to the wrong spot, and so pandora was expecting long data but only getting the short file (the headers that should have been changed were already sent). Disabling turbo mode should do fix it atm, I'll upload a fixed version after i am done sorting some changes i've made. Okay, try http:// zzj.itf-inc.com/SPPS1.002b1.008a.zip (OUTDATED) Changelog, etc: Improved request recipt Improved POST handling Fix for sending headers prior to allowing tampering: this was breaking turbo mode Other bugfixes which I've forgotten. Killed the dreadful flicker in the list of requests when many are being handled at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed the dreadful flicker in the list of requests when many are being handled at once Just tried and (unfortunately) I ran into the same thing. It gets to the radio stations, then freezes up. Pandora says it's taking longer, and I can't close SProxy - I must kill the process. I can close the browsers tho (IE & FF). I also removed the .conf file as mentioned earlier. Is anyone else running into this or is it just me? And I really was kidding about the Widget!!! lol I did download the Pandora widget way back in the days of using Pandora the way it was originally built. It usually crapped out most of the time even after several installs, so I just gave up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It *should* work, but more importantly it will tell me what the problem might be (if that one loads successfully). What are the last lines in sproxy's log? (SPLog.txt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boem Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 The latest version works the smoothest here. The great thing is it can now GET http://images-sjl4.. file and append it to the folder flawlessly. Thanks again for this great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the proxy-exception for data stuff (under advanced settings) work? It makes it download audio, the flash applet, and anything non pandora directly, not through proxy, which should obsolete low-bandwidth mode. I wasn't able to properly test it as i'm living in the US, and it would not fail me (with the you are not in US etc) stuff if it hadn't worked. the option is named "only send pandora control urls through SProxy configured proxy". A bit of a mouthful. Try checking it for me when you get a moment. You'll want to reload pandora as well, for the best test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZigZagJoe Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 hmm, indeed, i have replicated this on windows 7. by replicated, i mean it happens and i haven't the faintest what would be causing it. Atleast i can try to figure it out. It seems to be related to the listview. Right when it is about to scroll, freeze. Might be related to the forced double-buffering. Yup, sure enough, without it works. I've updated the current link with one that had double buffering disabled. I guess a flickery display is better than one that does not work at all.

No ripping. I use PortableTor, PortableFirefox with no PAC file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
