Topic: Pandora source missing from Music source list

Tried to start Pandora this morning and received an error connecting.  Restarted my Chumby and now Pandora is not in the list of sources.

Re: Pandora source missing from Music source list

I had that issue over the holiday. I waited a bit then restarted and Pandora came back.

Tar, feathers, congress. Some assembly required.

Re: Pandora source missing from Music source list

There was a brief server issue this AM, please try again.

Re: Pandora source missing from Music source list

It is back and working again.  Thank you all for the responses and information.

Re: Pandora source missing from Music source list

Ironically, this server issue was related to the partial US government shutdown - the server which handles Pandora also interfaces with external sites to get data used by widgets, including government servers such as NOAA, USCPSC and others that are run by agencies that are closed.

During the shutdown, those servers are not behaving very well, and in our case they were accepting and holding open connections without actually responding with data.  Even though we have a timeout system in place, having that many servers holding open connections resulted in *our* server running out of available connections.
