I saw there is a new version of openpandora (0.6.4).
The main new feature of this version is that is can be controlled with global hotkeys.

Since i use HIP to control MP, i made a new program into hip for openpandora.

with this I can :
- Launch Pandora when mp is started with the "radio" button of my remote
- Rate songs with Channel up/down
- Pause with pause
- skip next with skip next
- close Openpandora and return to MP with back/exit

To get this work, in Hip :
- I have defined the radio button to launch OPenPandora (Mapped to MP Program - Program 1)
- I have created Openpandora in Program2
- I have told hip to launch MP AFTER Openpandora (options of program2)
- I have mapped the keys of OpenPandora including Back/Exit==> Alt F4

The only thing that miss is the ability to change the playing station, but the author of OpenPandora hasn't provided any keyboard shortcut to do that. I will post him an email to ask it.

if someone knows/find a better way to get the same or a best result, please let us know !

The author as responded me, and he likes the idea to be able to switch stations with keyboard shortcuts. so, it may come soon.

Doesn´t work with the hotkeys for me. it doesn´t work by controlling over taskbar,too.
It only skips when clicking the arrow

have you enabled Global Shortcuts in the app settings ?

stormbringer · 2006-10-12, 08:24

Yes , i´ve enabled them. It´s very strange - when working with the mouse I could make a like or dislike choise in the menu and only the arrow right skips to the next song but up and down make volume up and down!?
