stomosvary Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I'm using 8.11 with no problems and loving it. Requested feature for next version: Is there a way to have the Jar detect when you are at the computer using the mouse/keys ect and NOT reload after the 30 songs or whatever it's set at IF you're actively using it and then start it's counter when you're away. So everytime you hit a key the counter resets. (It's a tease when a good song comes on and then it reloads after 2 or 3 seconds!) Also, it's been mentioned a few times but an option to organizes the songs in folder by station.... and even when in Quickmix but not a folder called Quickmix. I know I'm asking a lot but it's just because this little app is the greatest little app there is! Thanks so much to everyone helping develop this, and especially Darkone05. -Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pichet Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hi, So far Razor512 and Darkone05 are the only two persons around who seemed to have the time and skills to make some corrections but what you ask for is involving and i'm not sure anyone would want to take that dip knowing that Pandora is able to pull the plug anytime just by forcing us to use the latest Flash player version. There's just not enough yound "blood" in this forum to fulfill your request judging from what i've seen lately, sooner or later the whole contraption will fall appart so if you like having Pandora in your pocket then maybe it's time to consider simpler alternatives and one of these would be to have a safe buffer for temporary files so that we can at least tag manually (or recover a "skipped" song, if possible): as i've wrote before, i very rarely take a look at the display of my player anyway... I've suggested to have a Linux Live CD version so that what works would work for practically anyone with a computer, even that as a "bottom line" remains largely ignored to this day and despite the &ried-and-Tested modules which exist but have issues with the grab button. I fear the project will be dead by the time we reach the kind of perfection you have in mind: the gurus have left us a long time ago!

minicrewton Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Spencer, you can actually change the number of songs until the next reload. I have mine defaulted to 100, which works out just fine for me. look at the settings you'll see the option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napalm22 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Having the Jar in the taskbar getting annoying considering there is no reason to look at it. In the next update can you make it collapsible to the system tray plz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear the project will be dead by the time we reach the kind of perfection you have in mind: the gurus have left us a long time ago! I tried this. I have the liveCD setup using PCFLUXBOXOS running firefox in WINE... everything installed fine but I was receiving an odd error from the PJ webserver in my browser...

Pichet Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 If there were one ready-made/tested module for everyone we wouldn't have to mind about browser versions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzf Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I also confirm that Firefox 2. 0. 0. 11 kills the rip funtion. I'm going to revert back to the .09 Firefox version tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzf Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I reverted back to the .7 version of Firefox. The rip function now works. I know the rip function works in version .8 and .9 however I'm not sure about the .10 version of Firefox. I'll have to test.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romm Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 There is a different hack for Linux: 1. Get tinyproxy, either package or source(compite it then) and install. 2. Install FoxyProxy extension for Firefox. Configure it to use your tinyproxy for pandora. 3. Hook to the tinyproxy log. Watch for (very long) requests to audio-*. pandora. com 4. wget those requests from command line. Use '-O' switch to dump it into normal-named mp3 files. 5. Use id3 tools to rename it to properly named files. The wget should be done as soon as possible after the request shows up in the log. Maybe later I'll write a perl application that will do everything listed above, included proxying. R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pichet Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hi, I'll look what i can do with my SlackWare based Live CD, although i already see the untagged .MP3 files and their suite in the temporary directory. Well, the purpose of a Linux solution isn't to compete with Pandora's Jar but to work natively on a self-supported bootable CD which can also be used in Virtual Machine environments under Windows. I can't compile binaries but i can manipulate them and create Slax/NimbleX modules, it will be a pleasure to experiment with a solution that might become universally available to anyone with a PC, including the older machines (Pentium-II MMX 200 Mhz 128 MB RAM)... So, i'm all ears. Be assured i won't be far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romm Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 UPDATE: the songs fetched that way do not contain proper ID3 information. From all the dialog coming via proxy I am failing to catch where the song information is contained. Maybe it is in the "token" field of the GET request pandora client is passing to get the next song. There are some xmlrpc calls, but I have a hard time simulating those, nor do they seem regularly. However the album images may be fetched fine. In addition I don't see how the CACHE_00? files Firefox9/Linux is generating song information can be extracted. Flash8 is out of question since flashswitcher is available for Windows only. Maybe someone would lend a hand about the ID3 stuff? Other than that the milking proxy is ready. BTW, I noticed Pandora's Jar is having problems working with SSH Tunnel (or is the problem with FF self-upgrade to 2.0.0.11?) Thanks in advance, R.

Pichet Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I've had FlashSwitcher installed and working for a while with the Flash v8 and v9 PlugIns plus two patched versions faking each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romm Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 On my FC6/FF2 the switcher crashes the whole browser application as soon as I try to switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pichet Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I use Slax v5 or NimbleX (SlackWare), no issues were ever encountered after i edited the .XPI package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romm Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I tried to patch the XPI, but I haven't much experience with the technology, nor with JS, so all I managed to do is to show linux versions of flash to choose from. However, when I try to switch, FF crashes, probably because of different copy syntax. Can you post/send your patch? R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romm Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Moreover in Linux/UNIX flash switching should be simpler, as you only need to manage symlinks - can FF do it? Meanwhile I forcibly downgraded to Flash-7.0.73 . The flash cache now looks indeed different... :) R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pichet Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hi, Ha yes, sorry: there's no v8 under Linux but that was months ago - my last version dates back to September 29 and the one before that was August 8 so... I'll need to UpLoad my version of October 24 (FireFox v2.0.0.8 + Pandora's Jar v 8.1.1) on RapidShare, you'll get the link via a Private message here later today.

DS80990406 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Sorry if this is repetitive but the thread has gotten quite huge and I'm having trouble confirming if what I'm looking for still exists. Currently I am using Pandora's Jar - darkone_05's edition. I like it very much, however ONE thing I wish was included was automatic embedding of album art into the ID3 tag. I saw in the past that people worked on versions that included that but I haven't seen anything current. Does a current version exist that embeds the album art automatically? And if so, could somebody please direct me to the download link? Thanks in advance!! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
