Playing Pandora through sync'd players -> HOURLY SKIP LIMIT EXCEEDED
Last modified: 2007-12-20 06:34:20 UTC
I'm running the Dec-13 nightly build. If I set my two SB3s to synch and start playing one of my Pandora stations on one of them, the both play in sync as expected. But I've observed that after several tracks play the music stops. The SB3 display says "STOPPED". If press PLAY or NEXT on the remote, I get the following message on the SB display. HOURLY SKIP LIMIT EXCEEDED. Sometimes, if I go back and re-select the same station, it will start again, but stop after one song. Other times, when I go back and re-select the same (or even any other station), it just keeps giving me the same message: HOURLY SKIP LIMIT EXCEEDED. If I use only a single SB3 to listen to a Pandora station via SC7, it behaves as expected. That is, it plays continually without stoppage. I know from experience that "HOURLY SKIP LIMIT EXCEEDED" is how Pandora responds if you get too happy with the next button. It seems as if the method for interfacing with Pandora with SC7 when using synchronization results in the equivalent of NEXT being sent to Pandora for each new track?
Fixed in change 15322.
Tested with 2007-12-18 nightly build. Problem appears corrected.
