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.

This widget has improved drastically over the last 6 months, and is finally useable again (the first couple versions were very usable, but then after O 9 became official, this widget was functionally useless for a long time). Disappointed that the volume slider doesn't work, only selects FULL or OFF.

It is the ONLY reason to use Opera Widgets, IMO.

I have trouble adjusting the sound within the widget. Moving the sound slider moves the widget too. It's very difficult to get the sound slider to move. Otherwise, I really like it, as I used Pandora in Firefox and I.E.

I agree with Baphijmm. Pandora does not work very well with the flash player. You get a few songs if your lucky and sometimes Pandora just does not load. I get some message to the effect that "It is taking longer than expected to figure out the right song blah blah". I've given up on Pandora. Now I do not think I have enough Ram which may be my issue. I am using a ten year old lap top. I don't know much about computers, but I did read on Pandora that so much Ram was needed. But, I think when I e-mailed them that wasn't the issue,because Pandora said that the problem is that Pandora is asking the flash player to think about to much of something or another -or something like that and they were trying to work something out with the flash player folks. I think the Ram issue comes in when the sound is choppy.

I would love this widget if Flash actually worked in Opera with any sort of consistency; unfortunately, if that were the case, it would probably just be easier to flat-out go to the site. My experience has been exactly the same as himesji's, word-for-word.

Works fine for me.. got latest Opera also.. Nice widget, love Pandora + Opera so this is good

What's the solution for the skipping that I experience in Pandora, whether using the widget or launching the page directly. I run Dapper on a Thinkpad. I have Opera's latest version, plus Flash 9. Pandora runs fine in Firefox, but skips on Opera when open or close tabs, or launch links. Sometimes it skips even without launches.

Unless the skipping can be fixed, it's better just to run Pandora in Firefox, and browse in Opera.

The widget seems very buggy - freezes, crashes, rejects log in, calls up a Flash window. Not a particularly good user experience.

Boooooo, I miss the working Opera Pandora Widget soooo much. It was fun while it lasted I guess.

By Operandme , # Jun 12, 2007 8:58:15 PM

yep, not working for me either...

By tobibeer , # Jun 5, 2007 9:31:51 PM

Latest Pandora and opera 9.21 not working for me. The widget shows loading and a black screen when I click "Listen Now". Is anybody else having the same problem? I really love the Pandora widget and it's not working anymore. HELP!

Thanks

So far 5+ stars Just got but seems to be really great.

By ernestine , # Apr 28, 2007 4:33:10 AM

5 stars! Great stuff! But I really don't like the transparent appearance, how can I change it to normal appearance as the web one?

I love this widget! Thank you very much!

This is great! Do you happen to know why this uses less RAM, virtual RAM mostly, than when you actually go to the webpage and load the player. I ask because I also had the Pandora.com panel and whenever I loaded it up it would take up massive amounts of virtual RAM, 300 MB about.

Edit: Actually after a while the RAM goes up too. Oh well.

i just down loaded this widget as this site is awesome,but all i get is black and cannot use it. What is the solution?

By TheCozz , # Jan 21, 2007 9:53:32 PM

Great widget. Pandora just wasn't working in Opera (9.02 linux) until this widget. Thanks a whole lot. gave you a 5 - everything works even has the 'Listen Now' Button.
Transparency? I can't see it.

By strongheart , # Jan 15, 2007 7:40:02 PM

muyyyyyyyyyy bueno

By gvirus , # Jan 10, 2007 5:18:17 PM

all works very fine with me, only problem, scrolling of stations do not work (blocker problem), as much as the volume slider (secondary).

Very great work by all means.
Excellent! happy new year
