SOLVED: After a little research I found Python for Linux default setting is UCS2.

Awesome! Glad you got it sorted.

While playing a Pandoki station, several people used the "back" key ... resulted in Pandoki restarting the last (current) station.

Thanks! I haven't been able to reproduce, but I use hotkeys to bounce around. Got a key sequence to cause it? What skin? Or a log. I wonder if its exiting and restarting.

Just made a quick and dirty fanart for pandoki...you can use it if you want.

Added. Thanks!

Is it possible to make a shortcut that will thumbs up

plugin.audio.pandoki-0.8.0.zip

I added an API to rate the currently PLAYING song. Someone could totally add these to a skin (hint hint) You can add to keymap or JSON as below:

F1 - Create and Play New Station Based on Song
F2 - Add Song to current Station Variety
F3 - Thumbs Up
F4 - Mark Song Tired and Skip (wont play for 30 days)
F5 - Thumbs Down and Skip
F6 - Clear Previous Rating

Add to userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml :

Code:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <f1>RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.audio.pandoki/?rate=branch)</f1>
      <f2>RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.audio.pandoki/?rate=seed)</f2>
      <f3>RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.audio.pandoki/?rate=up)</f3>
      <f4>RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.audio.pandoki/?rate=tired)</f4>
      <f5>RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.audio.pandoki/?rate=down)</f5>
      <f6>RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.audio.pandoki/?rate=clear)</f6>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

JSON: options for "rate" are "branch, seed, up, tired, down, clear"

Code:

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": " Addons.ExecuteAddon", "params": { "addonid":"plugin.audio.pandoki","params":{"rate":"up"} } }, "id": 1 }
