I posted this over on the logitech forums as well... I'm having the same
problem.


I've done some traffic analysis on my LAN to try to figure out what's
going on here. The squeezebox endpoints have two conversations going
on.. one transaction that stays constant back to the LMS server, and
another connection out to Pandora. The pandora connection is not
persistent, and makes a new request for each song. The content of the
control messages back and forth between the LMS and the receiver are not
obvious. I checked the logs of the LMS, but nothing seems too terribly
out of the ordinary.

Then I checked the communication on the LMS itself. It appears that
there are constant control messages between the LMS and
mysqueezebox.com. There seems to be sync messages going on quite
frequently (between 15-30 seconds by my small sample size). But this is
also where the LMS gets the next Pandora track. It uses HTTP to get the
information from mysqueezebox, and must relay the pandora URL to the
squeezebox device on the LAN. Usually the GETs from the LMS are fine,
but I was able to correlate a problem with this response from
mysqueezebox.com:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HTTP/1.1 504 Gateway Time-out 
Server: nginx/1.2.5 
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 03:52:57 GMT 
Content-Type: text/html 
Content-Length: 182 
Connection: close 

<html> 
<head><title>504 Gateway Time-out</title></head> 
<body bgcolor="white"> 
<center><h1>504 Gateway Time-out</h1></center> 
<hr><center>nginx/1.2.5</center> 
</body> 
</html> 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had previously been under the impression that the gateway timeout
error was a local problem, which is why I've torn my network apart
trying to figure out why the squeezeboxes couldn't reach the gateway.
But it's actually a valid reply from the server saying that the
mysqeezebox.com server couldn't reach the gateway. I was not able to
reproduce the 'PANDORA_' error I routinely get while listening (Murphy's
law at work again), but I'm quite sure if I did I'd get an similar error
reporting back from the http GET from my LMS.

I'll confirm and report back. The trouble is, since it's a problem "in
the cloud", I don't know that I'll be able to do anything. It's also
extremely odd to me that some people see this much more frequent than
others. Hopefully someone from logitech can shed some light on the
issue.
