Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

Maybe I'll just put the title of the radio station you're playing in the title bar and make the label at the bottom 3 lines. It means shrinking the album art a bit.

I'll mess with it when I get a chance. I don't work a lot on it when I have a working version in Extras, and a working (different) version in Testing. There's no point; even if I make an update I won't want to push it up because of the lost votes. So I wait until I can promote testing to extras; then make my changes; then let the new one sit in testing for a while.

Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

Hope someone can please advise...

Got pyPianobar installed and while appears to be running OK, it shows my Pandora stations I previously created online, and the 'Play' (?) button (one on top with triangle point pointing to the right..) is showing a light blue color now, I don't hear any music nor see any album art....

What do I need to do to get to hear music and see what's playing, etc??

Also, can I play music through N900 speaker or do I need to use earphones??

Thanks!

Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

The album art is strange.. do you see a "No Image Found" graphic there?

As far as sound: The common problem I've seen is people have the silent profile enabled on their phone. The default media player trumps this, but third party sound apps (like pyPianobar) do not.

Once you get sound working: You can listen via speakers, headphone, or FM Transmitter.

All I see is a black square....

You're right! I had silent profile enabled....so, fixed that....

Meanwhile, before I posted above, I closed pyPianobar and now reopened app....put in password again and clicked done....but it's been over 5 minutes and I don't see any activity or see my stations listed as before....

I am connected to internet now via wifi as before.....

Is there something else I should to get my stations to show up and hear music....tried clicking on the 'Play' (?) button but no response to that....

???

Thanks!

Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

We'll revisit this once you are streaming and listening properly.

There is nothing you should need to do. This sounds like what happens if you have it already running and switch networks; or you're on a very slow network.

Did you change to wifi after you opened the app? Restarting the app should fix this. To be totally sure there is no rogue or zombie processes left from opening and closing - I'd recommend you try rebooting the phone; connect to your wireless; then start pyPianobar and see if it starts working.

Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

OK....thanks....



Ooops.....realized that I'd gone into offline mode...got out of that, connected to internet again, opened Pandora again, got connected and can see stations again...but still no music, triangle is light blue gray again.....

Anything else???

Thanks!

Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

There is only 3 things I can think to check with the audio. That's the Silent Profile; your volume (maybe try pressing the volume up a few times?), or the FM Transmitter is enabled.

If you're not in Silent, Volume all the way up, and FM transmitter is disabled - close pyPianobar, open a terminal, and run "pianobar" in the terminal. See if you get any errors.

Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

OK, thanks, running pianobar in terminal...overall, seems OK, but after selecting one of my stations, it says:

nothing is happening now after a few minutes...no more messages in terminal nor see new prompt line.....

Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

Press "q" then enter.

Obviously pianobar is having issues connecting to Pandora. You can browse the web, and http://www.pandora.com works in your N900 browser?

Re: [application] pyPianobar (with pianobar)
 

Ok, opened up Pandora.com in iceweasel...it's taking a while, but it's slowly loading....I see the blue progress bar and message, 'Please wait, Pandora is loading...just finished took several minutes....now, I see page loaded and I got to sign-in section...browser is reacting slowly, got signed in, now at my stations page...clicked on station, now get message:

'It's taking longer than expected to figure out the perfect song to play next.

The music should be playing soon, but if you get tired of waiting, try switching to one of your other stations.'

Tried another station, but again, everything reacting very slowly...odd because I have high speed internet connection here at work.... getting same message as above for this other station ....so, maybe it's connection issue or Pandora site issue or ???
