Just tossing this out there for people having problems with the "failed to log in" message. I noticed when typing in the password into the settings screen it would introduce random characters as it was trying to replace the characters I typed into asterisks to hide the password. Every time I tried to run the plug in it just kept failing.

Eventually fixed it by just using the on screen virtual keyboard to type the password in instead of using my actual keyboard. No random characters and was then able to use the plugin with no further issues.

This may or may not relate to your specific problem, but it had me scratching my head for a good long while till I tried that and it worked.

Good luck

If you followed HTPC_GUY's instructions on post #6 then Pandora will appear when you go to the APPS menu and hit DOWN ARROW a couple times to cycle through the sub menus. It doesn't get it's own Home Screen section if that's what you were going for, just added to the APPS sub menu is all.

"Once it is installed you can access it through the apps button in Alaska Revisited.

Adding to the home screen as a sub menu:
add script.xbmc.panora.AlaskaMod as a favorite
Go to the skin settings menu
go to Sub Menus and click "Apps (Click to open/close)"
Enable Custom Button 1
Select Script - choose Pandora [Alaska Mod]
Choose Edit Image and select the icon.png file located at the root of the script.xbmc.pandora AlaskaMod folder"

Thanks for the tip on this.

I have made another revision and now I am extremely happy with it. Check out the first post for changelog, download link, download instructions etc...

Thanks. V3 is absolutely perfect.

I cannot for the life of me get this working.

Tried manual install
Tried Install through XBMC

Tried running under Confluence
Tried running under Alaska
Tried Running under Alaska Revisited

Nothing seems to be working I keep getting a script error whenever I click on the add-on. Not only that - but I can't get it added to the home screen either. I am fairly certain I am following all the directions exactly - not confused by anything, so I don't think that is the problem.

Help?

This should be fixed now. Re-Download from the link on the first page and try again.

Sadly this is a limitation of the plugin and XBMC. Once the plugin is closed and you navigate the menus the plugin can no longer function.

Awesome work! Thank you. I love the app and love the theme. 1 issue I'm having is the new Alaska theme is showing up under my Programs icon instead of my Music icon. Any ideas what I did wrong?

htpc guy · 2011-02-24, 15:46

It shows up that way for me too. Not sure why. The cool thing is that you just have to add it as a favorite and now you can give it its own home screen button in Alaska Revisited (it doesn't have to be a sub menu anymore).

Sounds like i need to go get the Alaska theme for XBMC then! Big Grin

Please help.
I followed all the directions. I have the latest version of PC XBMC 10.1
Installed the Pandora Alaska Mod but it keeps saying," Failure to authenticate listener. Check username/password and try again" I have a purchased Pandora account. I tried using the on screen keyboard but that didn't help. Thanks for any reply's.
