 It occurs to me that there seems to be no error handling in the LMS code

 502 errors and try again instead of just silently failing, we'd be in
 business.  Is LMS still entirely written in perl?  If so, we should be
 able to modify whichever module fetches the next track from mysb.com to
 try again when getting that error.
 
 I'll see if I can sort through the source code tonight for the specific
 module that does the get.

That would be awesome!  Yeah, seems to be much more stable now.  Was
able to stream Pandora overnight on 4 different players, and only 1 of
them stopped after a while.  I'm testing Slacker again now, and it's
been playing continuously for a couple of hours.

But I agree, this is a bit scary that LMS doesn't recover from issues
like this, as we're at the mercy of mysb.com having issues like this in
the future.

Re: [slim] Pandora Streaming problems

[jmarose]

Same issue here.  I cannot play Pandora for very long.  Sometimes a few
songs, other times almost an hour.  Rarely can I play as long as an hour
though.  I've been testing this issue for a while now, as this is a
critical issue for me.  Here's what I've gathered so far:

- The issue occurs at the end of a song.  So, when a song ends, the next
one doesn't start playing.
- The issue is independent of the player type, as it happens on Duet,
Touch, SoftSqueeze, and SqueezePlay.
- Pandora continues to stream on pandora.com and via Sonos.  In other
words, it seems to be related only to Squeezebox and Pandora.  Something
must have change on the Pandora side that doesn't play nice with how
Squeezebox uses it.
- This has been happening for at least few weeks now, although I'm not
sure exactly when it started.
- Independent of the station, as I've tried many.
- The Squeezebox players don't fail/stop at the same time.  In other
words, if I have many players playing different Pandora stations at the
same time, they all will stop playing at different times, independent of
the other.
- Tested on multiple different networks to rule out networking issue.
- I have a paid Pandora account btw.

Also, I've noticed that the skip track button doesn't work anymore (or
at least not reliably).  Sometimes it works, sometimes it's really slow
to get to the next song; sometimes I see Fetching track details... for
a while; I've also seen Unable to retrieve next track, press PLAY to
tray again.

Help!  This is a critical, critical issue!

Thanks.
