I have Aeon MQ 8 version 2.9 and have been using AS 2.1.5. I tried an update to AS 3.2.2 but still doesn,t work for me.

Is 3.2.2 the latest update?

Yes AS 3.2.2 is the latest. Working fine for me. Make sure you are running MQ8 for Leia and getting AS from the official Kodi Addon repo.

I deleted AS and reinstalled it from Kodi repository still no luck however I can live with 2.1.5.

I have the Radio addon installed on Matrix and it works fine with AS version for matrix. (I have 2 boxes).

I can only hope someone gets Pandoki to work on Matrix.

The other addon I am worried about for Matrix is Super Favorites, works great on Aeon MQ 8. It would be hard to do without this one.

I also have Pandora slim version 0.4.2 but I can't get it to play any music at all, The screen just blanks for a moment. If I go into the cache folder in Pandora slim The songs are in there but for some reason they won't play.

I'm kind of confused as to why there are two versions.

I was totally amazed that you could watch .avi files on your television, even though they were only XViD at best.

I figured it was time to give back a little to the community. I use Pandoki a bit, probably not as much as everyone in this thread, but enough to want to fix it. I've done a bit of programming during the COVID-19 crisis and I took a crack at this plugin.

Frankly, I'm surprised it took so long for Kodi to switch to Python 3, but we're there now! Mostly, I had to just change a few functions to get the Python 2 code running in Python 3. I got stuck on the string encoding changes for a while (it broke the Blowfish encryption routine). That was the biggest change. The rest was just changing from old XBMC / Kodi functions to new ones. It still took me a few days -- I'm not a Pythoneer (yet!)

So this is working for me as far as changing stations / playback. I have not tried everything yet, and I'm thinking some of you will do that. Frankly, I want to take a break from this for a few days.

Below is the link. Check it out. Don't get too angry if something doesn't work. You can open an issue on GitHub if you want (probably best) or leave a note here if you have a problem.

Oh, the branch on my fork is "0.10.0" if you want to look around.  I haven't merged it to my master branch yet.

No, I don't have a repo for Kodi set up.  I need to do this as I have now fixed three addons for Kodi 19.  It's probably not that hard but I'm not there yet.

Rock on.

Pandoki v0.10.0 - Update for Kodi 19 Matrix

• Proxy Fixes - seemed to be a Python 2 thing going on there.  They should work now -- I tested them on my 3proxy setup here at home.
  
• SNI should not need any extra libraries to work.  Urllib3 should work with Kodi 19 on its own to verify SSL hosts without using pyopenssl et. al.
  
• Main loop was optimized.  There was a strange delay loop in there that was complicated and unnecessary.  The plugin seems (slightly) more responsive as a result.
  
• There were a a ton of extra parentheses in the conditional statements (if, while, etc) that made it harder (at least for me) to figure out the flow.  I think these were needed for Python 2.  I don't really speak Python 2 -- I picked up Python a couple of years ago and I started with version 3.  And that does not imply that I'm fluent in 3.
  

• There are a few areas in the code that are cryptic and would be problematic to debug.  I'd like to make that logic a bit clearer in case another developer has to pick up this code in the future.  It's not messy at all -- I'm not saying that -- I just think that it could be more readable.
  
• I noticed that if the plugin is paused for a while, maybe 15 or 20 minutes, that the plugin will crash after the song buffer dies.  This isn't really a big deal but it bugs me a little bit.  Basically, what happens is that the track data that has been downloaded for the next few tracks has expired, and the plugin doesn't grab any more.  I'll get this working -- I just have to expire the tracks after a certain time limit to make room for new ones.  Adding a timestamp and doing a check in the main loop should take care of it.

My version of pandoki is still being worked.  Kodi devs are having me update a number of apps to matrix, so quite busy at the moment.  I will take a look at the updates and get a new release out in the next few weeks.  Do to the divergence of two apps I will probably rename the app at this point for the matrix release.  I have been waiting for the kodi full migration to python3 for a while, since many of the libraries the original author used were written in python3.

1. Compliant with licensing agreement
   
2. Buffering fixes to keep the pandora server from disconnecting
   
3. 4X higher quality audio stream from Pandora (360K with purchased license)
   
4. Upgrades to the external pandora interface libraries from pithos
