After Ave showed me the site to Pandora, I quickly made a desklet (5 mins or so) so that I can have it in showcase mode and still listen to it.

So here it is.. a very very very simple desklet.

Latest Scripter Beta needed ofcourse, since its a webpage.

This is an experimental feature of AveScripter. I hope it works. Still pretty new feature not totally tested.

I also have a flash version if this doesn't work for some. Let me know.

Looks good. Forgot about the PM I sent ya because I logged you out!

[dorsc]

I love it!! but how can I move it? or get to the preferences?

[pcm]

can only move if you use the little orange tab..

I'm experiencing all sorts of issues. After playing around with it a bit, AveDesk crashed with no notice, and Explorer now seems to be hanging.

I've downloaded and double-clicked the latest AveScripter beta, and I'm pretty sure it's installed properly (I saw the splash screen--how can I check the version number? The one seen in the "Add Desklets" dialog says 105...)


"An error has occurred in the script on this page. Object Expected. http://www.pandora.com/?cmd=tunemini

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?"

I press yes and nothing happens.

Now I see the Pandora orange label and then a blank white box that looks to be 642*270, the width of the desklet.

Any idea what's up?

Thanks

P.S: This worked temporarily at one point not too long ago, but when I tried it again, it stopped...

i...love...you!

Works great but only if on desktop. If moved to showcase layer it won't play. No hickups and plays better than in Firefox!

Although mine could be bug free cause of *cough*special*cough* version of AveDesk i'm using

Is there any way to skin it or use it showcase mode? PLEASE IM me if you need help with gfx Phill

[shmengie]

i love pandora! downloading now...

edit: yeah, as soon as i showcased it, it stopped playing, and then wouldn't start again until i closed and reopened.

NightCrawler:
If your getting an error running this script/page. That is a IE problem, I got it to. Even if I tried running IE alone and going to the site it wouldn't work. I had to uninstall flash and reinstall flash.

Unbeliever:

I'm also running *cough* special version, but mayber you got a different version of avedesk. Mine seems to work in showcase mode for me. I'll look into it more to see if there is anything that could cause it to stop playing if the window is "hidden".

The active X stuff is still experimental, and only seem to have issues with IE. I'm still very puzzled why it would stop when you move it to showcase. I have mine always in showcase

Mean while I'll upload a Flash version of Pandora in a few mins. This one works better BUT has 1 hick.. Pandora does a request for a webpage to select the song. So between songs you see a flicker.

This is awesome pcm, it works fine here in showcase

Really great work pcm, btw can you prevent it from playing on startup? Or is only intended for use to play "Your Stations" when AveDesk is loaded?

[pcm]

Can't prevent much... that's the shockplayer not scripter

[drudragon]

Woah that was fast lol,

ah np, thanx anyway mate

[huskerpat]

Wow, this is way cool. It would be nice if was not so large though.

[pcm]

Can't do anything on size, that's the size that they made the player, All I do is display it.

[liter o cola]

This is great!!! I've been looking for something that would let me use pandora outside of a browser since it was released.

[pcm]

Good news / Bad News.

The pandora is not working in showcase on my rebuilt system. Good cause now I can trace and see the why!

Just letting everyone know.

[shmengie]

wow, that's great...i mean horrible! i mean yippee!

[pcm]

Ok.. figured the problem. Its a Internet Browser "Feature"

The problem occurs if you switch the desklet from Desktop Icon to anything and vice versa.

To fix the problem, insert the desket as a normal window.

Either make the default a normal window, or switch it to normal then restart the avedesk. Then when its in normal window you can now set it to showcase and voila.!

The problem falls with internet explorer not liking the idea of changing the desklet's parent window (desktop icon to normal window)

How this is clear.

I wish I could think of a good fix, but this is a bit out of my control. Unless someone has a idea.

Have fun

I cannot seem to find this when I go to add a desklet. I have the latest version of AveScripter installed (not the beta version though). Do I need to install the latest beta to make this work?

[pcm]

You need the beta for all the new stuff..

Beta will become an official version in a few weeks if no more bugs are reported.

[shmengie]

lemme axe you a question, pcm...(not that i doubt you ) i don't have ie set as my default browser (it's ff). does this change anything about how you think about the showcase 'bug'?
