Re: Controllable Pandora Options


 

I am working today but I will put a package together tonight with everything I have done.

Thanks
John.

Can you make an image of the SD card and upload it to dropbox?

Absolutely. I would love to see what you have.

The popping sound is a problem for everyone, so "they" are working on
it and maybe in a future image release, or at least for the 3rd gen Pi.

I just saw another forum thread by a guy who was running a php
headless pandora station via a browser, which might also be ported. I
may take a stab at that this weekend, unless your work gets me past that.

let me know.

I also bought a pi with integration into my Crestron at home for
Pandora
in mind.

What I accomplished was basic/beta. I enabled telnet on my Pi and
then
created a TCP/IP Client Connection in Simpl to telnet into the unit
with Serial IO to negotiate the telnet connection and login I then
ensured that the login automatically started pianobar. It worked and
started the pianobar and outputted it to my AAE and you could user
serial sends from simpl debugger to change stations and what not. I
too had the audio pop and also got garbled sound 25% of the time
through the analog output so I turned my pi into an Xbian box instead.

I also used my Pi with an arduino and ser2tcp as a network IR server
for
my harmony to control my Crestron AAE until I got a pvid, rmc and mird
going.

They are pretty fun to play with. I still have the SD card with my
pianobar setup and just commented out the symbol in my program. I can
put together a quick package of what I got done so far if you would like.

Thanks
John

I'm working on this at the moment. There are lots of hurdles to
overcome
yet. First, most of the instructables end up with a problem at a step.
It took me almost a week of forum posting to get mine running with
help. Now that it's running, the problems are:

1. The analog output pops at the beginning and end of each song. So
you
get two loud pops at each change. You can use a usb audio output, but
I haven't tried that yet. The HDMI output does have audio on it
without the pops, but now you have to extract it, or use an hdmi input on a receiver.

2. I haven't started to try to send the data to a processor yet, but
I'm
expecting problems because I don't know linux that well. I'm hoping
that a few more forum threads will get some linux guys to help me output this.
Then, I need to get the presses in.

It's a great device, and I'm expecting a solid little thing that
will
eventually be the Pandora solution. Right now though, I don't know if
anyone else is working on it.

I'm open to collaborating.

That looks pretty cool... I'm not feeling like tinkering for this,
otherwise I'd probably have a go at it!

The Raspberry Pi is pretty sweet for the low low price of $35

The PC I had been running SqueezeServer on has gone belly-up,
rendering my SB streamer a useless hunk of plastic and metal. I don't
have any desire to replace the PC, so I'm looking for other options
for Pandora that are A) cheap, B) standalone, and C) have an API I can
take advantage of.

The WD TV Play/Live look like contenders, but I can't tell
from a
quick skim over the WD site if there's an API available. I see them
tout their i-Device remote, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Has anyone
looked further into these or any of the similar media playback boxes?

Sure as hell would love an ATC-AUDIONET option, but not for
how
much the card and a freaking CEN-TRACK cost... :(

Thanks,
