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

 

[miljbee]

have you enabled Global Shortcuts in the app settings ?

 

[stormbringer]

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!?

Global hotkeys don't work for me either.
