Guest t3chn0b0y Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I like to run firefox portable out of my usb drive. i installed pandora.jar in my c drive. i run the .bat file and then launch firefox portable and insert the http://localhost and pandoras jar launches and starts playing music. but when i try to grab mp3 files it gives me a error that i am not using firefox. i guess my question is has anybody gotten pandoras jar to work in firefox portable and if they have please post some instructions to do so. on the root of my usb drive I have jre1.5.0_07 "java" Pandora "pandora.jar & sources" in a programs folder i have coolplayer "mp3 player" mpui "a media player for divx movies :)" portablefirefox "firefox" I copied all the plugins from my fullversion of firefox over to the protablefirefox folder. remember to add the java to the usb drive.. it helps when pluging into other machines.. now you will want to edit your pandora.bat in the pandora folder @echo off start jre1.5.0_07binjavaw -jar pandorapandora.jar 8085 start programsportablefirefoxportablefirefox.exe http://localhost:8085 If you notice i didnt give it any drive letters, that way it would work on any computer i hooked it up with.. the firefox,pandora jar, java,and plugins can now run fine from the drive independantly without any requirements on the machine.. other then the temp directory being used for the login cookie and cache for the mp3's being saved.. which end up stored on the usb once they are renamed. Might be an idea to flush the cache etc on the computer your using when timeshifting.;) i then compiled the batch file with a program called Quick batch compiler associating it with the icon in the source folder of pandora jar, this gave it a nicer appearance in the directory.. :D then i created a autorun.inf, which gives the drive the pandora jar icon when plugged in.. [autorun] open=pandorapandora.exe action=pandorapandora.exe icon=pandorapandora.exe label=Pandora_Jar shell=Pandora_Jar shellPandora_Jar=Pandora_Jar shellPandoracommand=pandora.exe shellexecute=pandorapandora.exe maybe top that off with a start.ini [SplashStart] ExecutePath=pandorapandora.exe ImageFile=pandoraskinsstart.bmp Delay=4500 DelayLaunch=50 you don't have to goto that extreme.. just make sure you copy the firefox plugin files over to the firefox on the usbdrive, and version 8 of flash is in there.. copy the java from the hard drive over from the c:program files directory.. change the information in the pandora.bat, and you might want to check your default.properties.. make sure its set to something like this mp3.archive.path=/ mp3.retry.count=10 that should create an mp3 directory on your usbdrive, on the root when timeshifting.. and if its not your machine your using don't forget to logout.. i hope that was of some help... and dont forget to shout at the devil :twisted: :twisted: rock on :twisted: :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltan Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 by the way for those looking for the "old" 7.4.1: wildandbad is online again! Get it from there and recompile with the fixes posted here. (and after you did that, upload it somewhere for me! :-P) Zoltan, you got us to 1000th message... :shock: Hmm looking over 7.4.1 there is no build.xml .. so im unable to compile it. hehe great! ;) humm... so which version are you currently using?

goodhed Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I have some weird issues while saving tracks from Pandora. It only saves the 1st track everytime I boot up my PC. Looking into the debug file, I found the following: DEBUG Thread-2 util.Mp3Processor - recent non mp3 file found: pandoras-jar-beta-patched-by-proge-1.zip - will continue to next file DEBUG Thread-2 util.Mp3Processor - file java_install_reg.log is not an mp3 DEBUG Thread-2 util.Mp3Processor - no more mp3 found in dir DEBUG Thread-2 util.Mp3Processor - sleeping for a second WARN Thread-2 properties.DefaultProperties - Unable to load tmp mp3 retry count property. DEBUG Thread-2 util.Mp3Processor - ***processing directory: Temp*** Wonder if it points to anything. Can someone please help on this.

Looking into the debug file, I found the following: Make sure your using flash 8 and not flash 9 for starters. The latest Firefox should do okay, I have jdk1.50.0_07, and jre1.5.0_07 installed for the java. and make sure you clean out your cache..

Guest t3chn0b0y Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 How am i suppose to compile 7.4.1 with ANT there is no BUILD.XML? I noticed something when playing around with 7.4.1 it appears to be putting the mp3's in a folder with my pandora name, where in the code is that at right now, things have changed quit a bit, I was going to try and get it so it would do the station name instead.

taylor928 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I have some weird issues while saving tracks from Pandora. It only saves the 1st track everytime I boot up my PC. I have the same issue. Pandora's Jar saves only one file. To save another file, I have to restart Pandor's Jar and Firefox. This happens even if I have it set to Cruise Control -- it saves the first file but no more. I have 7.3.1, the latest versions of Java and Firefox, and Flash 8, on WinXP. I've recently emptied my cache. Thanks for any advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egon Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 OK I downloaded flash 8 and downgraded to it. I'm running the most recent firefox, and it still wont rip anything. After I downgraded it created the mp3 folder finally under pandora's folder (C:pandoramp3) but the window says "unable to rip mp3 null) Whats going on here?

nergal Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I've recently installed PJ and tried letting it run overnight on one of my stations - with um.. mixed results. I managed to identify the behaviour (I think) that is causing me problems: in manual mode, I grab song A directory is created and mp3 made, named correctly etc mp3 is of the correct song I grab song b directory yada yada but when mp3 is written, it correctly writes the mp3 for song b in directory b - then replaces the mp3 for song a with the same data. So now I have directory a, containing an mp3 labelled a, which is actually song b. I also have directory b, containing mp3 b, which is actually b. When I left it on cruise overnight it seemed to do this for 5-6 songs in a row before breaking out of whatever is going on. Does anyone have any suggestions? nergal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafer Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I figured it out :shock: I guess all the coding in the 70 pages of this post got to me. Turns out I was running Macro Media 9 :evil: all along. In the future for other noobs, right mouse click on the pandora "frame". See if it comes up with: Settings... About Macromedia Flash Player 8... If not, refer to http://www.hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=983 about un-installing 9 & installing 8. I noticed that, the light bulb went on, made the change and it works! I'll shut up now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
