Is this Pandora only or any of the online sevices? Can't access Pandora from Switzerland right now... Also: do you see the same with 7.4

this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.

QA to reproduce. Can't access Pandora.

This is only with Pandora that i see. I tried loading and getting 7.4 working but i was unable to get the subscription validation to work.

Michael does his command look correct for creating a station?
00:04:20:06:79:41 pandora items 0 8 item_id:1_dm{0A}

I don't even understand exactly what the expected behavior is, Tom can you clarify? That command should prompt on the player UI to create a station and show some suggestions for the new station? Is there somewhere other than our CLI documentation I should be looking for the various item_id's?

Sorry for being daft, trying to reproduce and I'm a little lost.

Basically what this is doing is trying to create a station.

In that case "dm" is searched and if it doesn't have an exact match then the server returns a list of possibilities. If it matches an artist or some unique exactly then it adds the station and the server returns Your New Station and the title of the station. If you search "dmx" it returns the station of DMX radio and starts it playing i believe. 

So if you used "rolli" to try and find something like "The Rolling Stones":
00:04:20:06:79:41 pandora items 0 8 item_id:1_rolli$0a

You would get a list of artists/songs that match that term.


If you try: (The term being 6 or more characters)
00:04:20:06:79:41 pandora items 0 8 item_id:1_rolling$0a

It returns the top directory of Pandora and usually crashes out my SqueezeCenter but doesn't return the correct information.


I don't remember where i got some of my commands that i have been using as i did this a while ago. Maybe just some experimenting with the original commands?

I think you must be doing something wrong, as both SqueezePlay and iPeng use this same interface without problems.

Just to make sure, you aren't hardcoding any values when browsing these menus right?

Im not hard coding the values for the browsing but maybe i am doing it incorrectly. I don't remember seeing what i am doing now failing before but i am definitely open to changing the command for one that works. I must have missed another way to make this query (or all searches for that matter).

I have been trying to figure this out for a while and i know that i must be using the search the wrong way or something. If i do a search (by adding an "_" then the searchquery to the item_id so in this case "1_rolling" is the item id) with a string that has more than 5 characters only in this case of Creating a new Station in Pandora returns the top directory of Pandora. I had trouble finding documentation on how the searching works and i cant find where i found to do it this way. I don't have anything hard-coded except the way that it does the searches ( _searchstring ). I do the searches this way and have full control of Rhapsody and other apps. Just this one case doesn't seem to work. If there is a different way to do the searches that would be great. Maybe this way isn't something that was openly supported and depreciated? 

I'm running the latest SqueezeServer on an XP machine, 2 Squeezebox Classics and 1 Receiver are connected to the server.

When you see a type=search item, you need to provide the search query as a 'search' param. Try something like this:

item_id:1 search:rolling
