Release MPS, a New Tool to stream Music

[SebbiUltimate]

Hmm it still works on mine.. Are you up to date on your firmware updates? I know a few patches ago there was an update to a new python version which could make a difference.


Edit: Maybe you need to community codec pack installed? http://pandorawiki.org/Firmware#Community_Codec_Package_-_for_Pandora_OS.2C_Release_2010-05

Thanks. I ran that "Upgrade Pandora OS" and now it works.

I will be releasing a new version of MPS very soon, by the way.

I've noticed that MPS tends to die when running Album searches. Here's the error message I get:

It seems to be trying to do some kind of poor man's HTML parsing on the variable 'page' which somehow is not a string. My guess is that the HTTP (or whatever) request it was doing before to retrieve 'page' (probably around line 1330 of main.py) timed or errored out and the 'if wdata' check is not catching this particular error scenario. Possibly it is enough to wrap the code around line 749 of main.py inside an 'if page:'. But I dislike python too much to actually try it
