Closed myano closed 5 years ago
I know sls is not actively maintained any more, but this would be really great, as this is the only thing preventing me using my Pandora app on Android.
Any updates on this?
Pandora doesn't pass Now Playing information. In fact, there's a thread from years ago on Pandora's support forum asking them to add scrobble support. The general assumption is that they won't add support since that would make it easier for others to duplicate their algorithm.
Aww, yet they let you share your listening patterns out to Facebook. :-\
Rdio works though... I am currently working on Spotify support, but I don't know how soon it will be added since @tgwizard hasn't been around for a long while.
Maybe they feel Facebook will help conceal their algorithm. However somebody could try contacting the developers and see if they'll budge based on what @myano says and that Rdio and Spotify provide their intents openly.
I fired out an email to developer email requesting they share their intents.
Pandora respectfully declines, they have other plans to worry about, but maybe there is still hope! (at least for Android 4.3+) ... kinda unfair to < 4.3

I was able to get SoundCloud track data from the notifications it posts by using the new notifications API introduced in Android 4.3 by pulling the extras android.title for the song and android.text for the artist. This also works with Pandora as another user reported but not iHeartRadio for some reason.
I don't think I'll be adding support for Pandora via this technique, but if somebody else wants to try it, go ahead!
Also, there are unofficial Pandora apps that exist that support scrobbling, such as Pithos, https://pithos.github.io/
For android devices running 21 aka Lollipop or higher this should resolve any app issues.
@a93h With the latest preview release (v1.5.8-pre-v3) with notification access enabled, when Pandora is playing music, nothing happens. Nothing is scrobbled.
This is on a Samsung Galaxy S10E running Android 9.
Sorry I can't find Pandora for my phone? Where can I get it?

With the newest apk (sls-v1.5.8-vCode-49_v2.apk-debug.apk), Pandora seems to be working now.
Awesome!
Spoke too soon. It crashes when an ad comes on, but "Now playing" is working when an actual song is playing.
Ok perfect. I will add a search light for ads for Pandora if I can.
I have tested it, although I cannot get the commercials to crash SLS..
I would like the ability to scrobble songs from Pandora's android app. I didn't see an issue currently existing that covered this.
This is the original "issue" from the Google Code site, https://code.google.com/p/a-simple-lastfm-scrobbler/issues/detail?id=20
