I noticed this as well. Other threads: http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=8104 indicate that Pandora has been having problems since at least the 1st of May. Other comments seem to allude to points that this may be a Pandora problem. That is worse in my opinion since there is nothing I know of to go about getting it resolved. Just hope for the best?
Great to have it back. Hope this will last.
Duane,
Is it possible to run other open source Linux Pandora clients in the Chumby instead of relying on the current Chumby-Pandora setup?
1. http://kevinmehall.net/p/pithos/
2. http://6xq.net/projects/pianobar/
The second one uses a command line interface (CLI)
Thanks in advance,
CF
I'm sure it's possible, but both packages would probably need some hacking to work. I'd start with the second one.
Matt ported the second one (pianobar) to run on the Chumby; see http://sourceforge.net/projects/zurk/fo … ic/5257532
What is the best way to integrate it to the Chumby GUI?

Well, the approach I'd take is to make a standard "external music source" in Flash that calls out to this tool (documentation and example on wiki) and have the built-in web server serve it as though it came from our servers, like much of the rest of the way the offline firmware works.
Thanks Duane. I found this link in the wiki: http://files.chumby.com/widgetexamples/ … lMusic.zip
Is this the right stuff to follow?
