Pandora "stops" after each song

[polocruz]

I like the new Pandora channel, but the player "stops" after each song and the next song won't automatically play until the "play" button is pressed on the remote.

Am I missing a setting somewhere or is this normal behavior?

Thanks

No that's not normal. Do you have to hit Play after each song or does it eventually get going normally? Are you using a hardware player or Softsqueeze?

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm using the hardware player, SB-3. The display actually says "stop" after each song and won't play the next one until the remote's "play" button is pressed.

It will play the next song If I vote that I do not like the currently playing song. Also the skip to next song works normally.

I've been listening via SB3 for several hours and it plays one song after another. Do you go thru Squeeze network and link the accounts?

[polocruz]

Yes, I am playing Pandora via Squeezenetwork. I'm not sure what you mean by "linking my account." I activated my Pandora account through the Squeezenet website and the Squeeze box-3 player correctly lists my Pandora stations.

The Pandora website plays the same stations without interruption.

I'm having the exact same problem. After each song finishes, it won't start the next one unless I hit the play button. Since someone above asked earlier, I'm using a hardware player (SB3).

My Pandora playback will occasionally stop playing a song abruptly and then go into the next song when listening on the SB; it does not seem to do that when played through my computer. Not sure why it does this, nor what to do to remedy the situation.

That is currently what happens if you get disconnected from SN. Upon reconnect it will restart the station with a new track. I'm working on changing this so the original track can continue to play when reconnecting.

You may also have been listening to a mixed track that actually ended properly but appears to have cut off since it's designed to play right into the next track on that CD.

I've found the cause of the "stops after each song" bug. Make sure your repeat setting is set to "Repeat Playlist" by pressing the repeat key on your remote. I'll have a fix up soon for this, but manually changing your repeat setting should solve the problem for now.

That fixed it. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the fix!
