Small simple widget to display pandora radio. shadowk added window-shading and title updating! d.i.z. added a connect button, fixed the issue on initial minimizing, and corrected the validation problems!
Updated for player version 7.200 on 7/27. Also, major thanks to Tommy O from Opera for giving hints on getting it working in the latest builds and tobs999 for the Ajax call to get the current player version!
People don't seem to be reading the comments, so I'll restate things here.
1) I cannot do anything about the transparency until Opera officially supports flash in widgets. I have been told this will happen, but no timeline.
2) This just uses the current Pandora player. I cannot make a new improved skin for the player until Pandora releases a full API. They have assured me this will happen, but no timeline.

Try turning OFF javascript on the pandora website. This did the trick for me some days ago. Can't check that right now because I'm still on Flash 8 here (@work).

Thanks. I'll download the new version once it's released. BTW, I just upgraded to build 8542 and it still doesn't work, although I don't expect it to if they've changed their Flash player code again.

arnie2 - Sorry, not sure offhand, unless it's just the player version being out of whack. I'll get that fix in this weekend and see if that gets things running for you.

Pandora updated their flash-player again.
So I quickly hacked a routine, that retrieves the current flash filename directly from pandora.

Is there a way to add a thumbs up and thumbs down button so I can rate songs without having to expand the widget? Also, is there any plan to skin it so it looks more at home on the Opera toolbar, instead of looking like some foreign app floating on top? I wish all widgets looked more like Opera was their natural home.

Actually, I had the exact same problem at work - which was very frustrating. I discovered that if you go to the Pandora site and quickly right click > block content (dont' block any content, just keep it in that mode) then you'll be able to have the player function. You will also notice that for some reason Opera keeps automatically adding it to the blocked items. I would suspect that this is also the case with the widget, since it's essentially just a webpage.
I actually downgraded my Opera version at work. And oddly enough, I do not get the behavior on any of my home machines in the same environment.

Widget starts - get the message that Pandora is loading then it goes back to black and stays that way. Any advice? Please?
But when on the website, it does the same but just fades to nothing.

pale : That's a good idea. Unfortunately, I don't think I can open a second widget window underneath another one. Technically, a transparent flash object is supposed to show what's beneath it on the page, but the widgets just show completely through for some reason. Fortunately for me, I use a wallpaper that is black in the upper-left corner (which is where I put the widget) so it's not too horrible.
tdzark : Pandora should work fine with Flash 9 in Opera - I've had it running with Flash 9 (and the Flash 8.5 dev beta) without any issues.
marroland : It is hard how some of the keys are captured in Opera. A couple options would be to 1) Copy + paste your email address into it or 2) Go to pandora.com and sign in - then it should keep you signed in when you go to the widget (I've never had to sign in except for the first time on a machine).
wd.taylor : What version of Flash are you using? If pandora.com works for you, then the widget should work - unless there's a widget issue on ME

Maybe you can answer a question for me ...
I have tried it on two different machines. On my Win 2K laptop the widget works perfectly, but on my Win/ME desktop machine, the Pandora web site works fine (even though it says it only supports Win 2K and XP), but the Pandora Widget does not. The "Pandora - Find music you'll love!" banner and the "Listen Now" button come up normally, but when you press the button, you briefly get a black box where the content is supposed to be, and then nothing. Since the Pandora Web site works fine, I am presuming that my version of Flash is adequate ... so any idea on what is going on?
Thx ... Will

Can this be fixed to work for the new flash 9 plugin? On every new computer I'm installing this widget on, I need Flash, and now only flash 9 is available, I haven't found any place to download the old flash 8. And, Pandora don't work for me in an flash 9 opera 9 environment
