The crap-tastic media player the N900 ships with will play music through the earphones and FM transmitter just fine.

Any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it?

Check your profile.

The N900 mutes all sound when in Silent mode except the built-in Nokia players.

Whoa, worked as soon as I changed it to "general" settings. Thanks, I would have never figured that out.

But then I had a new problem: pianobar was running in the background (the music started right up), even though pypianobar wasn't running. I couldn't get pypianobar to shut it off. In fact, when I started pypianobar again, I had two pandora streams playing, both on the same station but different songs.

I shut down pypianobar and the music from the first stream kept playing, so I turned the N900 off completely and turned it on again. Now pypianobar isn't working at all. The interface comes up, but the stations aren't loading and no music/cover art is showing. Should I re-install?

Thanks again for all your hard work on this...in the words of Jurassic Park, I hate this hacker crap.

Ok, now I just restarted again and it's working fine so far as I can tell. Hope this helps.

If this happens, you can open a terminal and type:

Code:

killall pianobar
And not have to reboot.

love pypianobar. But I think the UI needs to change a little. the buttons look too rigid. sometime I can not tell if I clicked or not. and the theme could be a little bit more consistent with n900. Maybe give an option to change the background. Anyway, it is a great application..

Well.. I am absolutely horrid at UI design. So, I'm open to suggestions but also will be needing full explanation of what you want to see; and any pictures/graphics needed.

When it comes to GUI I am clueless.

Only way for this to work is to use a US-based proxy and putting the settings into the ~/.config/pianobar/config file.

I currently can't recommend any proxies, as I don't need or use them.

control_proxy = <proxy>

oh crikey, way over my head I'm afraid, what a shame!

I really wish there was someone that I knew with the same phone who could help me with this stuff

thanks for your reply, and good luck with all its future development

Sorry, hopefully pandora will open it's requirements sometime.
