The recent Pandora update
PandoraBoy’s user interface is pretty screwed up since the recent Pandora update. I’ve talked with Pandora and it’s a known problem with WebKit. You’ll see the same issues if you run Safari. Pandora is working on a fix, and when they deploy it, PandoraBoy should automatically work again.
Awesome app. I develop in Applescript and ASOC (Cocoa+Applescript) mainly and I think you’ve done a brilliant job so far.
Considering how the Pandora interface sucks and how you have created a way to interface with it, wouldn’t it be possible to create a custom player that just sends those same commands when you click it’s corresponding UI button and just hide the WebView?
That would be awesome! Just a thought…
@Chris Greninger The current way to talk to the interface is through keystroke injection. Even that has recently started to show problems. In any case, you can’t send keystrokes this way if the app is hidden. If you hit Cmd-H, you’ll notice that the keyboard shortcuts don’t work anymore.
There’s no general API to Pandora. Some things you can do through Javascript and some things you can’t. It’s mostly a Flash app.
