"internal pandora error" persistent

[MACDBHAM]

After deleting a couple of stations last night It began to give me an error that said the following: "internal pandora error" and would NOT move on or explain the error. I know my account works as its on my android phone playing just fine.

Getting same error, cannot connect to service?

Not seeing anyplace or anything hinting at turning up the logs. Nothing in console. =[

I am also seeing this error. See screenshot below: I don't seem to see any related errors in the system logs.

+1 for me too. Nothing changed, but now I can't connect at all.

I was also seeing this error. I then signed into Pandora via a browser just to see if the site was up (it was). When I went back to Hermes it worked fine... strange...

[sheykh-sleky]

UPDATE: Boo... I closed out and can no longer connect either.

Well... No shit. I'm connected too. Would have been nice to get more information on connectivity issues. Ah well, back to headbanging.

[omalley]

Ok, that isn't working for me. I can log on to the website fine, but I am still getting the "Internal Pandora error".

Sorry, looks like the browser thing was a fluke. I have now been hitting the issue occasionally. Finally figured out how to get Hermes into debug mode (Hold down option key while launching: warning-finder will react to the option key as well) It writes a log file for each launch into ~/Library/Logs/Hermes.

I find that if I have the app retry connecting, occasionally it will connect without issue. When it doesn't connect, here is the message I am seeing:

Pandora.m:815 -[Pandora sendRequest:] https://tuner.pandora.com/services/json/?method=auth.userLogin&partner_id=42&auth_token=REDACTED&user_id=
HermesAppDelegate.m:328 -[HermesAppDelegate handlePandoraError:] error received {
    error = "The data couldn\U2019t be read because it isn\U2019t in the correct format.";
    request = "<PandoraRequest 0x7ffded8a3960 auth.userLogin>";
}

When it connects, the log looks like:

Pandora.m:815 -[Pandora sendRequest:] https://tuner.pandora.com/services/json/?method=auth.userLogin&partner_id=42&auth_token=REDACTED&user_id=
Pandora.m:263 __41-[Pandora doUserLogin:password:callback:]_block_invoke255 Subscriber detected, re-logging-in...

Makes me wonder if Pandora is making some API changes or if they have an auth server that is misbehaving and we are just getting load balanced to it...

As it stands, there is no maintainer, right? No one is actively working on Hermes anymore....?

EDIT: Hitting that refresh button a few times actually got me reconnected and streaming again. So yea, seems like they are changing something on their end. Does using something like this go against their policies? I don't really wanna poke the sleeping bear if I don't have to. ;D heh

[nriley]

That's correct. Please see #237. A few people have posted some patches, but someone needs to fork Hermes and start writing code, merging and testing if they want Hermes to continue. I really wish I had the ability (specifically, the time and physical capacity) to work on it any more, but I don't.

[ryanbmilbourne]

It's also worth noting that I was able to connect by deleting the pref plist for Hermes and logging out/in.

Hmm, I tried deleting the cache, the plist and the password from the keychain. Still no luck.

[gilbreen]

Just adding that I am seeing the same behavior. I thought I deleted the app and attached files and reinstalled, but got the same error. However, as sheykh-sleky added to his comment, I repeatedly hit the 'Try Again' button and then it connected to Pandora, loaded my stations and started playing one of them.

Where are the pref files stored? I use AppTrap and when I moved the app to the trash, it asked if I wanted to move the accompanying pref files to the trash and I selected 'yes'. But after I reinstalled, and was able to get it to play, I did not have to enter any Pandora info - it automatically pulled in my stations.

@winny- have you considered charging for it? I believe there's at least a small market for it. I'd pay $10 without a second thought, probably go as high as $20. Surprised that Pandora isn't doing this work themselves for native support.

[giantspeck]

I don't think money is an issue; I think it's his time.

[nobecutan]

Had the same issue. For me it had to do with timeout (probably because of a slow proxy). patch.txt

[omalley]

I have a fast connection (ping to www.pandora.com is avg 1.9 ms and max is 2.1 ms), but I get the error frequently. It turns out that for me, if I hit "retry" enough times it eventually connects successfully.

[reedloden]

Looks like somebody already submitted a PR to fix this -- #256

[jostyee]

@nriley Can you release a new binary since this PR had been merged, this bug is really confusing.

[nriley]

Will try to get to this in the next week — crazy busy next few days.

[nriley]

For anyone who is experiencing this problem, please try out https://sabi.net/temp/Hermes-1.2.7b1.zip and see if it works for you. I'll release it if it works. Also I'd like to consolidate discussion, so please see #244.

[rtremmel]

Thank you so much for fixing this error!!!
