New Amplipi user here, loving it so far. Everything (Airplay/Spotify/etc.) is working beautifully other than having some issues with using Pandora. Setup the stream Id, provide un/pw, but it just shows the stream name in the webapp and doesn’t play anything.
I have a Pandora+ (not premium) account, but I’m not able to identify any restrictions associated with that that would cause the behavior I’m seeing. I saw there’s an issue for providing a more robust login setup for Pandora, but I’m wondering (hoping?) there’s an easy way to see logs from the interaction with Pandora’s API so I can try and debug it myself? I’ve SSHed into the Pi, but didn’t see anything obvious as far as logs. So:
Any thoughts on what the issue might be?
Any suggestions on where I might find logs that could help me narrow the problem?
If you are SSHd in go to ~/amplipi-dev/config/srcs/0/.config/pianobar/output to see what the pianobar Pandora client we are using is reporting. My guess is that the older API pianobar is using doesn’t see that radio station. I know we had this issue with several of Jason’s stations that were shared from another Pandora user.
Another test you can do is just run pianobar from the terminal and enter your station id with the s command.
Ah… yes, that jives with what I found in the output (though just my luck all three station I originally tried weren’t found, but seeing the output, I was able to find many that do work) - thanks for the quick reply!
(i) Login… Ok.
(i) Get stations… Ok.
/!\ Error: Autostart station not found.
Yeah the only fix we found for the missing stations was to recreate the station. I know in the future pianobar is planning on supporting the new Pandora API.
