Pandora Timeshifting App: Main Discussion Thread

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:

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?

Extreme_One · September 23, 2006

I have no idea about recompiling.

Eagerly looking forward to an expert coming along with a 7.4.* version to fix the "wrong time for last.fm scrobbling" issue ... ;)

Zoltan · September 23, 2006

Yeah, I join the queue! ;)

September 23, 2006

Zoltan
hehe great! ;)

humm... so which version are you currently using?

Im using 7.3.1 right now.. but i dont use the lastfm like alot of other

people enjoy using.. so im not caught up in alot of the problems

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.

I am using 7.3.1 with Java 1.5 on a Win2k machine

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..

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.

egon · September 25, 2006

How would I downgrade (upgrade?) to flash 8 from 9 in Firefox? My PJ won't save any of the tracks.

pandorawillbemine · September 25, 2006

Is anyone running this program off of a locked computer?.....my computers are setup in such a way that im not able to access much, so i would have to put flash 8, java, firefox all on my flash drive, anyone know how to do this, and what i have to change to get it to point to the correct place......also having problems with getting file to be recognised due to the fact that depending on where i plug in my flash drive it changes drive name ...EX. G: , E:, F:

Pm me for specifics

thanks in advance

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!

egon · 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?

Did you use the unistaller, there is a particular one, that will

remove all traces of 9.. and then you can install version 8...?

Yes I used the uninstaller at the macromedia site then installed 8. Should I use a different one?

nergal · 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?

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.....

thanks for helping the n00bs. i didn't respond because i was caught up getting other things done around here.. and it seems like the same questions are being asked over and over again. :idea: somewhere we need more information on the newer jar's and how to get these issues addressed without explaining it over and over.. my apologies for being a bit on the grumpy ars side..
