Pandora produces an Invalid Partner Login (code 1002) error message for both partner authentication auth.partnerLogin as well as auth.userLogin related issues.

This can be confusing for users, as seen here: mopidy/mopidy-pandora#41 and here PromyLOPh/pianobar#263.

It may make it easier to troubleshoot and provide user support if some distinction was made between the two root causes for authentication. An example of how this was done in pianobar is available here: https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/blob/7235a62c183d3815a0fc3dd7e05c6a3492a23f1f/src/libpiano/response.c#L101-L108

I came across the following stack trace today:

As best I can tell, there seems to be a parameter missing in the register_ad call when the track is yielded from the iterator (either the token or the station id)?

HI, I am trying to use your library and was hoping you can give me in the right direction.
The commands rely on stdin for stopping, skipping, etc.
I create a process to start the player but can't seem to get the callbacks to work for ending the player. I can do p.terminate() but I am hoping for a cleaner implementation.

import time
from multiprocessing import Process
from pydora.player import PlayerApp
from pydora.mpg123 import Player

client = py.get_client()
stations = client.get_station_list()
p = Process(target=py.player.play_station, args=(stations[0],))
p.start()

time.sleep(10)

py.player.stop()  # this works
py.player.end_station() # doesn't work 

Thanks in advance,
Diego

Hi,
I'm currently using the APIClient class, that is your high level Pandora API client to search for something, then choose the best result from the results. After choosing the best result, I'd get, say a chosen_station, which can then use the create_station() function. It all seems to work, though I get a status of fail, with the message An unexpected error occurred, with code 0. I am sure that the resulting chosen_station is either a SongSearchResultItem or an ArtistSearchResultItem.

Any ideas what could be going wrong? I don't have any issues with using the client to get my own playlists or anything, but I'm unable to create stations from the search results.

I get the following stack trace as soon as a station is selected in the bundled player:

I've found a typo resulting in a syntax error in the source code - fix contained in PR #3

I just installed pydora and may have missed something. I'm on a Raspberry Pi 2 under Debian Jessie using Python 3.4.2.

When I try to play a station, it fails immediately with this traceback. Is this maybe related to that warning in the Python docs about not eading/writing to subprocess pipes due to race conditions or something?

When there is an HTTP proxy between mpg123 and Pandora the rewrites the mime type to something silly like application/octet-stream mpg123 will fail to load songs with a mimetype error and will cycle through an entire playlist. mpg123 has a --ignore-mime flag that should prevent this.

Dropping Python 2.x support

This is an announcement that, in 2019, this project will be dropping support for Python 2.x all the way through Python 3.4. Python 2.7 will be end-of-life on January 1, 2020 and Python 3.4 just reached end-of-life on March 16, 2019.

Because this is a backwards incompatible change Pydora will release a new major version 2.0 that supports only Python 3.5+. We will leave the 1.x series published to PyPi but no additional releases will be made. Consumers that have a hard dependency on the 1.x series and can not migrate will need to update their requirements to select the older version. For example:

pydora>=1.13,<2

Schedule

Semantic versioning has not historically been a standard in Python code-bases and many Python projects have open-ended dependency selectors (e.g. >=1). Because of this, and to avoid breaking existing consumers the Pydora project will provide 4 months of migration time before releasing 2.0 to allow consumers to update their dependency selectors.

IF YOU HAVE A HARD DEPENDENCY ON PYTHON 2 THAT YOU CAN NOT BREAK PLEASE UPDATE YOUR DEPENDENCY SELECTORS NOW!

• April 2019 - a 1.x branch will be introduced for historical tracking of the 1.x series and master will become the development branch for the python3 transition
• May 2019 - all proposed changes will be available to consumers in the master branch for testing but will not yet be released to PyPi.
• June 2019 - the 2.xseries will be pushed to PyPi as pydora-2.0.0. The 1.x series will continue to be published as well but no new releases will be made. At this point all development on the 1.x series will cease and new development will proceed on the 2.x series.

Other backwards incompatible changes

We will also be removing some deprecated legacy APIs in concert with this change. Specifically the following will be removed:

• Factory methods on BaseAPIClient - The ClientBuilder API was introduced in 2015 and is the preferred way to construct an APIClient. Constructing APIClient manually is still supported in the public API but consumers will need to adjust their imports.
• __init__.py imports - these imports were originally provided for compatibility with an older file structure and will be removed. Consumers relying on building an APIClient directly will need to modify their imports to use the correct packages instead of relying on the high-level imports.
• models breakdown - this package will be broken down to files per functional area (e.g. playlist, station, ads) and the top level __init__.py content will be moved to a differently named file. Although models are part of the public API for Pydora, most consumers should not be importing them directly so this should have limited impact. Consumers who are importing models directly will need to adjust their imports.
• py2compat - this file will be completely removed and all uses re-written to their python3 versions
• util - this file will be removed

Request for comments

If you will be affected by these changes and can not migrate or have other needs related to this migration please comment on this issue before May 2019. Other constructive comments are welcome as well.

What would you like to be added:
Easy to understand documentation and code examples

Why is this needed:
Because I and 2 pepole I asked cant understand this docs.
We can't even understand how to connect to API.

Goog docs examle PyTelegramBotApi

Some credentials have % characters in them which triggers ConfigParser's interpolation mode. Config settings should be read in raw mode instead.

The pydora player has a few python 3 syntax issues when using unicode strings with the u prefix. This is happening in python 3.2 and I haven't had a chance to test it on newer versions of 3. I would guess that this works fine in newer versions due to the re-introduced support for u prefixed unicode strings. This should be made to work with all versions of python 2.7-3.5.

When there is an issue with the underlying mpg123 player in Pydora it will continue to skip songs until the Pandora API rate limits the application. There should be better error checking around the mpg123 integration as well as some sort of internal rate limiting to try to detect errors before the Pandora API rate limiter does.

The from_config_file constructor supports automatically logging in by passing an authenticate flag. The from_settings_dict constructor should offer the same options.

Great library and pretty simple to implement. Keep up the good work!

I don't fully understand Ads. I notice in the Player, it refers to the add and play the URL, which can be something like:

https://delivery-cdn-cf.adswizz.com/pandora_newEnco/ad_[REDACTED].mp4?t=1

I don't see how just playing that URL counts as 'viewing' the ad.

Consider the following code:

from pandora.clientbuilder import SettingsDictBuilder
import subprocess
import time
from urllib.request import urlretrieve

client = SettingsDictBuilder({
    "DECRYPTION_KEY": "[REDACTED]",
    "ENCRYPTION_KEY": "[REDACTED]",
    "PARTNER_USER": "[REDACTED]",
    "PARTNER_PASSWORD": "[REDACTED]",
    "DEVICE": "[REDACTED]",
}).build()

client.login(userName, passWord)
stations = client.get_station_list()
for station in stations:
    for play in station.get_playlist():
        if play.is_ad:
            urlretrieve(play.audio_url, 'file.mp3')
            #AdItem(audio_url='https://delivery-cdn-cf.adswizz.com/pandora_newEnco/ad_[REDACTED].mp4?t=1', click_through_url='', company_name='', image_url='https://cont-1.p-cdn.us/images/public/devicead/e/l/i/t/daarv2audioprogtile_500W_500H.jpg', title='', tracking_tokens=['[REDACTED]', '[REDACTED]', '[REDACTED]', '[REDACTED]'])
        else:
           urlretrieve(play.audio_url, 'file.mp3')

        runCommand = str('cvlc --play-and-exit file.mp3').split()
        playSongProcess = subprocess.Popen(runCommand, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL, stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL, encoding="utf-8")
        while playSongProcess.poll() == None:
            time.sleep(1)  # still running 

Any insight on ads?

Also, I think Pandora times out the login. Should I client.login() periodically or how can I trap a need to login again?

I don't actually use this product, I have a question about the Unofficial Pandora API. Before you click away, it's super quick, I promise.

Alright, to the issue. I am able to get the partner login stuff fine (ex. the token, syncTime (before decode), etc). Then, I'm also able to decode the syncTime stuff aswell, getting the synccode number. But, this is where my issue comes in. I put everything together (username, pass, auth token, sync time, and putting partner_id into the url), using the method auth.userLogin, and ALWAYS; EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME, I get a 1010 error (PARTNER_NOT_AUTHORIZED). Please, PLEASE help, I really want to get this working but it's just not workin' out.

By the way, I'm using Postman to send my requests before I get into any library, so it's simple stuff.

... and I don't have Pandora One, so internal-tuner won't be working out.

Example of my failures:

The audioUrl field in pandora.py does not map correctly for all partner device types.

class PlaylistItem(PandoraModel):

    artist_name = Field('artistName')
    album_name = Field('albumName')
    song_name = Field('songName')
    song_rating = Field('songRating')
    track_gain = Field('trackGain')
    track_token = Field('trackToken')
    audio_url = Field('audioUrl')
    album_art_url = Field('albumArtUrl')
    allow_feedback = Field('allowFeedback', True)
    station_id = Field('stationId')

For example, for android-generic the actual URL is stored in a dictionary with structure:

[audioUrlMap][xQuality][audioUrl] where x is either 'low', 'medium', or 'high'.

This error can be reproduced by setting partner_device = android-generic in ~/.pydora.cfg and updating the related configuration entries for encryption etc. as per the unofficial Pandora API

I'm not sure whether it would be better to make PlayListItem partner-type aware based on some user-specified preferred bitrate in the configuration files, or if the loop in 'from_json' should just fall back to trying to retrieve the highest available stream:

https://github.com/mcrute/pydora/blob/1e8502b1eabb8e595f1f23d26e62d7763097b2a0/pandora/models/__init__.py#L51-63

How would I go about getting a station after searching for it?
I currently have the code:
search = pandora_client.search("Today's Hits", include_near_matches=True, include_genre_stations=True)
station = search[0]
station.create_station()

After creating the station; how do I select it to get a Station and get its tracks using get_playlist()?

Recently pydora stopped working, for some reason it keeps skipping tracks, I believe the tracks are not playable (python exception)j. Do you know why this might be happening? I have a premium account with pandora and all.

Here is my config:

[user]
username =
password =

[api]
username = android
api_host = tuner.pandora.com/services/json/
encryption_key = ...
decryption_key = ...
device = android-generic
password = ...
default_audio_quality = highQuality

What happened:
As of yesterday, I am getting the error:
pandora.errors.InvalidAuthToken: Invalid Auth Token

What you expected to happen:
As has worked for years, I expect it to login

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

1. on Python 3.8 (on Linux or Windows), install the pydora

2. using a new or old pandora account (not pandora one) run the following python script, adding the partner key and your username and password:

    from pandora.clientbuilder import SettingsDictBuilder
    from pandora import client
    
    userName="k******g"
    passWord="M******1"
    
    client = SettingsDictBuilder({
        "DECRYPTION_KEY": "R****B#",    
        "ENCRYPTION_KEY": "6****D",    
        "PARTNER_USER": "android", 
        "PARTNER_PASSWORD": "A******7",    
        "DEVICE": "android-generic",
    }).build()
    
    client.login(userName, passWord)
   

You should get the following error:

Anything else we need to know?:
I have tried this with the iphone partner id, with 2 known good pandora login accounts and with a new pandora login account, all the same result.

Yesterday it was working fine so, I am confused.

Environment:

• Pydora version: 2.1.0
• Python version: 3.9.0
• OS: Manjaro Linux KDE
• Shell (if applicable):
• Others: Pycharm 2020.3

When playing any station Pydora will continuously print song names out to the screen, 4 at a time, over and over. No music plays. I've only tried this on one computer: Mac running 10.12.3 and the latest version of Pydora.

The only native C dependency in the project is pycrypto which is exclusively used for Blowfish. Even so this still means that to install the code you need to have a functioning C compiler and python headers on the system which is not always the case. We should instead swap in one of the many pure python implementations of blowfish either by vendoring the file or by using a third-party version.

A StopIteration exception can occur on rare occasions when retrieving the next Pandora track.

I have VLC installed on my system but don't want to install Pydora. Instead I want to run VLC in RC mode listening on the network and allow Pydora on a remote machine to play music to this listening VLC instance.

I have a working version of this that I've been using for a few weeks now that just needs cleaned up and documented. Opening this issue to track inclusion in 1.10.0

Pydora stops playing when it runs into special characters. In this instance it's an 'é'.

Perhaps simply retrying the API call up to n times with a short delay in between as suggested in https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/2543 might be an option?

If the pydora player is left paused overnight when trying to resume playing the track the player silently fails. Navigating back to the main menu and selecting another station causes an InvalidAuthToken exception.

This isn't really an issue, but does anyone know how to become an approved pandora developer to use the official pandora API?

Thanks.

When an API host set in the config file an exception is thrown despite the fact that elsewhere this is defaulted. The config logic should fallback to the default as well if no api_host is specified.

I noticed this three times so far today. It looks like it happens at the end of a playlist.

At the moment, get_station_list() discards the checksum field when retrieving the list of stations from Pandora.

This, combined with the fact that user.getStationListChecksum has not been implemented yet means that it is not possible to cache a local copy of the station list without risking it becoming stale.

I'm not sure how to fix this and ensure backward compatibility, apart from adding the checksum to the Station model which would result in the same checksum field being duplicated for every station.

I know that the pydora API does not aim to implement every available Pandora function, but the ability to cache the station list does seem like a worthwhile optimisation to consider.

When the authentication tokens for a user expire the APIClient throws an exception. It should instead try to renew the authentication tokens if needed.

Remove the deprecated API methods and the key translation for settings dictionaries in clientbuilder.

What happened:
pydora fails to start

What you expected to happen:
the main menu

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

1. install pydora 2.0.1

2. run pydora-config and put in a known userid and password

3. run pydora

4. you should get the error below:

    $ pydora

Anything else we need to know?:

Environment: Raspbian buster

• Pydora version: 2.0.1
• Python version: 3.7.3
• OS: Linux raspberrypi 5.10.63+ #1457 Tue Sep 28 11:24:51 BST 2021 armv6l GNU/Linux
• Shell (if applicable):

The blue color used to print song titles is too dark to read in a black terminal.

Currently installing pydora from PyPI fails because py_release_tools pulls in mock which has a broken setup.cfg.
OTOH my music machine does not need the dev-dependencies. There are two (non-exclusive) ways out of this:

• Provide wheels on PyPI. I won't ever have to evaluate setup.py
• Make the dependency on py_release_tools optional by looking at sys.argv and decide based on that.

Thanks for considering.

What happened: I installed pydora and ran the pydora-configure function, but it gave me this error: Error loading config file. Unable to continue.

Environment:

• Pydora version: 2.1.0
• Python version: 3.7.8 64-bit
• OS: Windows 10 64 bit

Pandora changed the certificates for the Pandora One api_host (internal-tuner.pandora.com/services/json/) about a week ago:

ERROR    2015-11-12 12:00:40,096 [77037:PandoraBackend-8] mopidy_pandora.uri
  Error logging in to Pandora: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581)
INFO     2015-11-12 12:00:40,096 [77037:MainThread] mopidy.commands

This issue has popped up on all of the other Pandora players as well (pithos/pithos#251, PromyLOPh/pianobar#555). Various workarounds have been suggested, from ignoring certificates to reverting to using curl.

PIP reports that I have certifi (2015.4.28) installed, if that is relevant. In the interim, relying on tuner.pandora.com/services/json/ still works but obviously won't have the high-quality Pandora One stream available.

Not sure how to address this in pydora at this stage...any ideas?

See discussion

So I followed the instructions. The app ran showed it was finding songs, but for some odd reason in VLC I don't know how to get it to play.

What happened:
Starting yesterday, I appear to be getting the Invalid Auth Token.

What you expected to happen:
No Error message

Also reported here: pithos/pithos#701

I've been encountering random issues with some advertisements not registering properly (see #37 at the Mopidy-Pandora project for stack trace details).

As best as I can tell, this happens if the advertisement does not contain any add tracking tokens (maybe one in every five ads being served up), causing APIClient.register_ad(station_id, tokens) to raise a ParameterMissing exception.

CDN urls provided by the Pandora API expire after a point in time. A track should be able to report if the URL it contains is playable.

Example of how mopidy-pandora does this

When you pause a song in the pydora player and then resume it a few minutes later mplayer will play whatever is left in it's buffer and then skip to the next song. The fix for this may require implementing our own track buffering.
