I'd imagine it won't work on extenders. Am I correct? (He asked hopping he is wrong, yet knowing the answer.)

So does this work using the standard remote control functions or is this another one that requires a mouse?

Works perfectly with a remote. This is a great find! I do prefer spotify and I use the app on my receiver to send audio to multiple zones in the house... but this is still pretty cool.

Looks pretty cool - but wonder why it has love / hate instead of thumbs up / thumbs down.

I use the the browser version through Relaunch right now, and might keep doing it since the kids get a kick out of being able to thumb up/down songs and to look for the orange thumb to see if it is already.

Only reasons to switch might be so that W7 Caller ID works better while listening, and so I can do other things within MCE.

Tried this tonight.. Don't know if it's Pandora or what but it had a hard time connecting. Plugin kept giving me errors and exiting. When it did connect switching stations didn't work.. Anyone else having issues?
I have Pandora working well with relaunch at the moment as well as iHeart Radio and tunein Radio. I appreciate the work he put into the plugin as well but the UI leaves a little to be desired IMO.. Just my 2 Cents no offence to the developer intended.

For me it works flawlessly. Only downside is that I get the login screen each time I open Pandora. I wish checking the "remember me" box would make that dialog go away.

Is there anyway to get in touch with author ?

I had a heck of a time with it last night not wanting to work. I'll give it a go again tonight. Most of the problem was connection issues. Could have been net related. Yeah I noticed that launching the app requires a re-login each time as well. Would be nice if it did log you in automatically each visit instead of having to manually log in. As far as the developer goes you could try contacting Assassin PC, I think he knows the developer. http://assassinhtpcblog.com/

It does work on extenders, at least the XBox I tried it on.

Wow, didn't expect that. I finally tried it out, through my Xbox extender, and it works great.

This is pretty rough for me to consider. Constant login, channel changing doesn't work, not really clear if the thumbs up / thumbs down (love / hate) even works, and kind of a rough layout. Is this being developed still?

On a related note... Did the Relaunch method stop working for anyone else this weekend? The URL seemed fine going directly there in Chrome, but not in MCE. Had to recreated the Relaunch feature for each PC... Weird.

It is rough, I still prefer the Relaunch method for the main screen. At least it's an option for other rooms off extenders though. Dunno if still developed, haven't seen anything much new lately.

WRT the Relaunch/Chrome working, I ran it for a few hours Saturday with no issues...

It's a little buggy, doesn't exactly transition right... Sometimes you can get into a spot that's hard to get out of... But the fact that it works on the extenders makes it an awesome plugin!

"McPandora" - that's funny... McDonald's will be sending him a cease and desist letter very soon.
