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.

Like several other users, I am also getting the current track database number "by undefined" in the track title scroll window, which makes the title scroller pretty useless. Shading is a good idea, but the transparent background in the main window makes the text VERY hard to read. I imagine that transparency is necessary to display the title scroll bar above the main window, but I wouldn't complain if you did away with the transparency altogether. I already had a Pandora account, but many users are reporting problems registering through the widget. The buttons in the main window don't immediately respond to mouseover, although the "real" Pandora interface doesn't have this problem. It seems this needs a lot of additional work before it's considered anything more than a beta.

What the hell do you include the amazon and itune affiliate information in the widget for?

I can't put the "@" too.. but is only write that in a txt or in msoffice and copy/paste..

Some buttons for instance; (close) wont get fully "collored" and in the edit radiostation i can't see some lines underneath the station name... Anyway this is a very nice widget indeed! (fiver)

I hear that you can copy the symbols from another program into the text box. Maybe that'll help you out.

Hallo
Problem: Pandora is asking for registration.
One of the data ask for is an e-mail adress.
In the widget windows on my computer (french keyboard) it's not possible to enter the "@" [at] sign (AltGr-zero) and the "." [dot].
What can I do? Thanks a lot, grisbois.

I registered just so I could say what a great widget this is. And to top it off it works better with my linux box than my Win XP box. It has a hard time getting by Zone Alarm using XP.

Very Handy. Found it easier to download from the original web site so there's no transparency.

wow! this is absolutely wonderful! i love it! thank you so much!

By bzseal, # Aug 11, 2006 4:37:46 PM

@petermcc, it happens to me also. Transparency was the same since the beginning. Now widget works without black screen, yay!

By PeterCub, # Aug 10, 2006 6:28:36 PM

i'm running the new 9.01 and the widget works but I still get the transparency problem and the black bar at the top shows "song519213 by undefined" where i guess it is meant to show the song/artist information.

is this just me or is this happening for other people too?

thanks

Hi - seems to me every other week that it won't run on the weekly builds and today not on 9.01 (though it was fine on the last weekly).

Any idea what the developers do to cause this?

I'm running Suse Linux 10.1 x64 (and the web site plays fine)
