(Pandora) Saver2

[ZigZagJoe]

You'd need to set encoding to on (or the save all videos as mp3, which is the same thing) for that to happen. Alternatively, as I see you have approval mode on, prior to approving you can edit the song info in the song approval dialog and tick force encode.

To save that specific file as mp3 [again], you'll need to delete youtube.index (located in the logs folder) and the flv file from your save folder. Youtube.index is the advanced duplicate detection's cache file, each video download's "video hash" is kept in there. (you could also just delete the line which references it).

Awesome :)

It's annoying (though not your fault by any means) that Opera doesn't work with the new Grooveshark site very well, it scrolls all around and gets on my nerves!

I haven't even loaded it in Opera (it's not MY rendering error, after all), but if it's anything like what you see in Google TV, it's just a box model problem. If you know anything about user CSS or user JS (particularly in Opera), you can correct for it relatively easily. Just change the box-sizing (http://www.quirksmode.org/css/box.html) to "border-box" and it should magically render just fine.

Full log:

12/25/10 1.4.0 build 1192

Massive christmas update.

NEW: The Pandora Client now supports QuickMix! Major improvements to the genericsaver - it can now attempt to download all songs that your browser plays. This should get from some flash players on websites. Fixed forced encoding bug for youtube plugin. You will be prompted about omnisaver on first start after update, never thereafter.

Added plugin to support batanga.com (latin website). Outputs 128kbs mp3. Supports album art.

Saver2 and SProxy version bumped due to some internal changes. Also, the 100% cpu bug should be fixed now!

To select QuickMix: Select it like any other station. It will be the first entry. You can also right click the stations button and select "Listen to QuickMix".

To edit QuickMix: Right click stations and select "Modify Quickmix", or select "QuickMix" in the station management dialog (which shows up when you left click stations) and then click "Edit QMix".

--- Do you still use www.pandora.com in your browser to listen to Pandora? ---

If so, did you know Saver2 has its own Pandora client? It has no ads, no listening limits, no skip limit, allows you to seek and repeat a song at will, and more! It can go into shade mode like winamp (double click the title), and also supports transparency and custom background skins. It can use your keyboard's media keys, and set your MSN status to what you're now listening to on pandora, plus scrobble your music to Last.FM! Try it by clicking "Pandora Client" on the SProxy window!

Tried it? Don't like it? Give me feedback!

-----

Support for song identification was added, via musicDNS. This means files with inconsistant tags (such as grooveshark) can now be fixed, and sometime in the future a better duplicate system can be implemented.

However, song identification is not enabled for all songs by default, as it will peg one cpu for a varying amount of time while it inspects the file (around 2 seconds for a 4ghz i7). To enable, check "Lookup all songs via MusicDNS" on the common tab, in saver2 settings. GenericSaver will use it where tags fails.

You will be prompted on first launch after updating/clean install weither you want to use the omnisaver or not, and if you want to allow song lookups. The only possible negative to using omnisaver is that it will save duplicates of files you download voluntarily in your browser.

-------------------

CLog:

Batanga: First release.

Client: Quickmix re-enabled

Client: Quickmix modification RPC added and a form added to call it.

Client: Stations form will not attempt to modify quickmix any longer

Client: Fixed station limit being still low after logging in a normal user previously logged in as anonymous

Client: Added ability to remember last window size, under appearance tab.

Client: Default skin changed to maniac skin if present on install

Client: Slightly modified welcome screen

Client: Fixed bug in HTTP proxy w/ auth handling.

Pandora: Possibly fixed playlists being written without extensions when in turbo

Pandora: Added prompt to update when pandora updates.

Pandora: Text will be inserted into the pandora website prompting the user to update if the version is no good (only triggered after website is loaded and playing music).

Installer: Added batanga plugin

Grooveshark: Possibly fixed playlists being written without extensions when in turbo

Grooveshark: Updated ad-busting and metadata sniffing for new version. (adbusting courtesy of pegasus epsilon)

GenericSaver: Added support for hoodlumpriest.net

GenericSaver: Added support for musicshake (http://eng.musicshake.com/)

GenericSaver: Added option to use omni filters (*.mp3, *.m4a, *.mp4, *.aac, *.ogg, *.asf, *.wma) and content types of audio/*

GenericSaver: Added custom match url support

GenericSaver: Added configuration page

SProxy: Version bump to 1.4.1

[CRITICAL] SProxy: 100% cpu bug tenatively fixed

SProxy: Changed some exception messages to be more descriptive when displayed to user

SProxy: Added some additional logging

SProxy: Added some info when debuglevel >= 100, and removed streaming send log entries

SProxy: Should no longer timeout on long-poll ajax requests

SProxy: Removed host + version info from sproxy title, unneccisary and confusing

SProxy: Chrome SHOULD now reload proxies properly with reload system proxies message (this is a chrome bug - added two more calls in SP which fixes it)

SProxy: Added right click menu for sessions. Allows url copying and downloading a copy of the session (NOTE: this only uses the url, not headers or postdata - thus will probably not work for complex requests). Allows abortion of active sessions which are not tampering.

SProxy: Added option to edit /pac request to always use proxy

SProxy: Fixed CONNECT requests not being handled properly when using a HTTP proxy that requires authentication

SProxy: CORE.Prompt respects yesno prompt in UI mode and displays icons properly.

SProxy: CORE.Prompt will now only return DialogResult.OK or DialogResult.Cancel (fix for yesno forms)

SProxy: Added CORE.Started event, fired when UI is shown to user or CL interface starts.

SProxy: Added Proxy.PluginMgr.ChangePosition, takes arguments of SPlugin and index (to insert plugin at). Changes the order in which plugins mangle/sniff/etc sessions. SHOULD ONLY BE CALLED FROM SPlugin.Start! (OnStarted within saver2). Any other places WILL cause an error!

Saver2: Playlists will no longer be written with / or \ prepended to relative names. Toggling path types will cause existing playlists to be fixed.

Saver2: SongInfo.FromFile will now try all supported file types until one works or runs out of types to try - extension argument is now ignored. (same for frommp3)

Saver2: Added OnUIStart method to saverplugin. Called when UI is shown to user.

Saver2: Introduction text will be shown when running under mono now.

Saver2: Version bumped to 1.4 due to internal changes to plugin system

Saver2: A list of sessions files were saved from is now maintained, based on honor system. Used so genericsaver does not resubmit stuff. Plugins not using SimpleSaverPlugin should use Saver2.AddSrcSessionId immediatly prior to AddSong

Saver2: Added Lookup.GetFileInfo, which attempts to look up files using musicbrainz. Causes cpu spikes for varying amounts of time (set to low prio)

Saver2: Added setting to disable file lookup

Saver2: Tracknumber, if nonzero, is written to files now.

Saver2: Lowercase extension now enforced

Saver2: Song "finishing" (art lookup, identification, tagging, and song_saved event) now done in the worker thread rather than by the sproxy request thread

Saver2: Significant refactoring of internal song processing

Saver2: Song genre will now be used more intelligently in file formats

Saver2: Added prompts if unable to write to save folder

Saver2: Added check if able to write to save folder on launch

YouTube: Reworded configuration page and removed enabled checkbox which probably never "worked"

YouTube: Fixed forced encoding not working

BrowserPAC: Added omni filters, support for batanga, and provision for sproxy to edit to always use proxy

Tor: Cleared blacklist, as patch 3 months+ ago pretty much removed the need for it.

Installer: Added libofa.dll and libfftw3-3.dll

[CRITICAL] Installer: Will no longer force the irc client to be closed before updating

Mono/etc: Updated package.

Note: For full omnisaver support, your browser must be configured to use SProxy unconditionally or the "PAC: Use proxy always" checkbox in sproxy config must be checked.

This is needed for files which have an audio content type but no extension are passed.

Mono users: to use the file lookup ability of saver2/genericsaver, libofa.so must be present in a path that mono searches. Recommend symlinking in saver2 folder.

[ZigZagJoe]

Pandora has started returning urls for "audio.pandora.com", which is an invalid DNS entry. If you get HTTP streaming errors relating to this, just change stations, it should fix it. Will deploy a patch in the next day or so with that fixed.

[Chemantics]

First of all, thanks a ton for Pandora Saver!

Is anybody else having difficulty installing the new update? I was running the previous version just fine. Here's the installation output I get:

Hi ZigZagJoe,

I love your program, was shown to me by a co-worker and I've been using it every day.

as of a couple weeks ago the songs began "skipping."

The songs will play fine while the song is buffering but once it is fully downloaded it begins to skip during the playback, some songs worse than others, some only once during the entire song but some 15 or 20 times. It also shows up in the exact same place during the playback of the saved file.

I'm currently running XP 64bit at work.

I'll be in your IRC room for most of the day just up and down from computer so I may also take a bit to respond.

I can forward you one of the files if it is useful for you.

I listened to a couple songs until they skipped during playback then went to the next song and copped the logs below.

First of all, thanks a ton for Pandora Saver!

Is anybody else having difficulty installing the new update? I was running the previous version just fine. Here's the installation output I get:

Saver2 Install Started

Make sure you are running as administrator

Yeah, I am running as an administrator. The last version (built 11/24/2010) I installed worked just fine when I installed it the same way two weeks ago. I tried reinstalling that version, but, of course it didn't work since it downloads the new s2bins.zip file.

**Nevermind** I just figured it out. I am embarrased. The McAfee access protection I have was blocking it... if an other user is having this problem the rules:

Common Maximum Protection:Prevent creation of new executable files in the Program Files folder

Anti-virus Maximum Protection:Protect cached files from password and email address stealers

need to be unchecked for this installation to work.

Ive successfully configured Saver and the Pandora client running TorEndPoints to run on a Mac.

The set up

IMac I7

Mac OSX 10.6.5

Parallels 6

Running Parallels I created a virtual machine running Windows 2003 Server configured to XP workstation mode.

http://www.msfn.org/win2k3/

Running Win03 as a virtual machine I downloaded the latest Xmas version of Saver.

Installing Saver was a bit ugly as the the installer appeared to freeze and I had to force quit the installer, however Saver was successfully installed.

I then reconfigured the proxy within Saver to the following settings.

Socks5

Proxy Port 127.0.0.1

Port 5060

Works like charm..... Pandora to Canada on a Mac. A tip of my hat to ZZJ.

Probably the apparent freeze was the .net framework spooling up (first .net run on boot is quite slow) to run the initial configuration helper - as you selected tor, it would set proxies, set the installer size and hash for the update system, and some other random stuff.

Ah well, good to hear it worked.

I've had some success running saver2 under wine on my mac, but it's rather quirky - .net does not like wine. Running it with mono (which means the pandora client can't be used) works fine, though it requires a bit of set up to do.

Your right, the installer did freeze durring the .net framework section of the installer. I confirmed that tonight when I installed saver on a friends Mac. A good clean install again.

Out of curiosity what do you use for a music playback client?

[ZigZagJoe]

I use winamp for general use.

If you meant the audio backend for the pandora client, I use a modified version of NAudio, which has bindings for WaveOut and DirectSound. Waveout is the default. Mplayer output is retained for wine mode, but is not generally used.

[Ishmael]

This is incredible software! Is there any chance of seeing the source code?

[ZigZagJoe]

Not done so in its entirety, but if there is something in specific you would like to know/see, I'm open. Drop by IRC. Also, some portions are located in the dev stuff, which you can install using add/remove components on the saver2 menu. There's really not that much special about Saver2 itself - just a lot of glue logic.

Will be deploying a nonvital update with a few client skins and other small fixes shortly.

WARNING TO IRC USERS: YOU WILL BE BANNED IF YOU JOIN THE IRC CHANNEL, VIA LIVE HELP, THEN IMMEDIATELY EXIT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. If you press it by mistake, or just want to see what it does - fine. Just say hi, at the very least.

The client forces you to wait two minutes before allowing you to exit - plenty of time to say "oh hi, sorry, accidentally clicked this" or "sorry to bother you, this was an accident". If you wait out these two minutes without saying anything (or even more offensively kill the irc), you WILL be banned immediately, and without a good reason will not be unbanned until I start running out of ban slots.

I'm sorry, do you knock on someone's door then stare at him for two minutes before walking away? It's the same thing, I get beeped at when someone joins via that method. You were also prompted and warned of this and you clicked YES, so...

I like it when people come to chat with me, and I'm on most of the time. Though, if you just want to hang out, use the irc link on the start menu, it doesn't beep me :)

Thanks to all those who have dropped by IRC to show their support. Rant concluded.

also, bolded the important bits

[ZigZagJoe]

Nonvital update deployed.

Apply it if you are getting streaming errors or truncated playlists. Also contains 4 new skins and some other misc improvements.

Changelog:

1/16/10 1.4.0 build 1214 (nonvital)

Apply this update if you are getting HTTP streaming errors and/or missing letters in playlists.

Has some minor fixes/improvements for the client, playlist fix for saver2 (missing character), and fix for "double jeopardy" song lookups. Several skins added to the pandora client.

WARNING: YOU WILL BE BANNED IF YOU JOIN THE IRC CHANNEL, VIA LIVE HELP, THEN IMMEDIATELY EXIT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. If you press it by mistake, or just want to see what it does - fine. Just say hi, at the very least.

Client: More variety will be returned when searching for songs to ban/add as seeds

Client: Will now gracefully fail with stupid redirects by opendns/other portal when failing on audio.pandora urls

Client: Should now handle aborts while buffering better (fix for error caused by user switching stations somehow when should not be able to)

Client: Station change RPC will be denied while in loading state

Client: 4 Skins added from scorpion and blueoyster

Client: Repeat should function better... unknown why it started to mess up all of a sudden.

Client: "new Bitmap" added to disallowed in skins - use GetResBitmap(string) instead. Required for use when packaged properly.

Client: (NowPlaying) uses SendMessageTimeout instead of SendMessage - as msn not responding was locking the client.

Pandora/Client: Added fix for audio.pandora.com urls (add -sjl-t3-2)

Saver2: Now maintains a hash of failed lookup files - so genericsaver does not attempt the lookup of the same session twice.

Saver2: Fixed playlists being written wrong.... again. Sorry about this.

IRC: Slightly modified some internal logic

IRC: Will now attempt to show the existing window if another irc is running

IRC: Address in status bar

IRC: Reworded some messages

IRC: Client will (would) now quit with a sensible quit-message, if coldfront was not being a douchebag

IRC: Formal name added: Type 74 IRC Client

IRC: Now GPL-licensed, source available.

SProxy: If the user's PAC file is set to sproxy's pac on start, IE Proxies will be set to true, and it will be cleared on exit

SProxy: If log > 2500 lines, first 500 lines and tailing 2000 lines are uploaded

SProxy: Logs are now compressed when uploaded - will result in massively faster uploads

Installer: Fixed silly bug, maybe... (old fix)

Installer: Added GPL.txt

BrowserPAC: Added exceptions for local hosts

Make sure you are running as administrator. (also, you don't seem to be using a mac? wine does not have program files (x86))

Ah. Yeah, I have no idea what is going on here, the installer's never failed before to my knowledge. What version of wine are you using?

[EskimoRuler]

i believe its 1.3.12

[EskimoRuler]

i got the installer to get past that stag by just going through all the steps again but the installer aborts itself

its just two screenshots because i had to scroll which im sure you figured out

[ZigZagJoe]

Something seems odd, writing to \install.log. Maybe wine paths are messed up? How are you launching the installer?
