I'm going to try to carve out some time to look at the data validation and parsing bits. Anywhere specific you'd suggest for a start or just overall it needs help in that dept.? I'll update if/when I fork and have something useful.

Eh, when i wrote the fix, i just hacked it into place. There were upgrade cases I didn't handle which caused the failures people were seeing. Really the script just needs data validation on user options and defaults if they are incorrect. If you are going to take a look at all of this, you should write the code to add stations. The backend code for stations is already there from pithos.
I had given up on this plugin until a couple weeks ago and saw that it was working again. It had been working great up until today. I played a few songs and then it would list a song, but instead of playing the song it would play ~10 seconds of silence. Skipping to the next track would do the same thing, I restarted the plugin and that temporarily fixed it, but as soon as I skipped a track it went to silent tracks. Is this happening to anyone else? BTW I am running Eden on W7.
No one can offer much help without useful information. Enable debug log (wiki)ging in XBMC, start the add-on and, when it fails, exit XBMC, locate your debug log (wiki), upload it to www.pastebin.com or www.xbmclogs.com , and post the URL link to the uploaded log here with your reply.
It isn't crashing though, it's displaying: artist/track/album along with album art. Would this still create errors to pinpoint in the debug log?
Maybe, maybe not... but certainly better odds of seeing something than not enabling debugging and uploading a log for others to see.
Any reason why xbmc community can't work with Pandora directly to maintain compatibility during updates?

Probably because Pandora won't look too kindly on an add-on that eliminates all the ads that are displayed when you access their site via a web browser? Or they don't get to partake in any revenue sharing since no one pays an enrollment or subscription fee to use XBMC and/or the Pandora add-on?

Why not keep Pandora's ads?
Then you might as well just launch a web browser from within XBMC and open it to www.pandora.com . Ads don't really fit into the GUI for the add-on and its 10-foot viewing experience.
I've been trying to get this to work for that last two days wiith no avail.... I'm not as smart asI thought I was I guess.

From your debug log, I see that you have the Pandora add-on installed, but I don't see it being launched anywhere.

Welcome to the XBMC forums.

Same suggestion: Enable debug log (wiki)ging in XBMC, launch the add-on and, when you get the error message, exit XBMC, locate your debug log (wiki), upload it to www.pastebin.com or www.xbmclogs.com , and post the URL link to the uploaded log here with your reply.

I keep getting direct x spectrum visualization not loaded? What is this exactly, do I need another plugin?
