@Johnnygill
Cam is not in Australia.
Have you reported that the plugin doesn't work for you anywhere, with log files?

This plugin is not being maintained by the owner (@fforde), I suggest just pulling the source from here if someone is interested:

https://code.google.com/p/pandora-musicbox/

Here are my logs.
It will play one song then just stop. if you jump out of the plug-in, go right back in it will play the next song, and then stop again.
It does it on all 5 of my computers.

Thanks

Have you tried disabling cross-fade?

 

[Cam]

I assume you mean in the music setting,
Yes I changed it to 0 cross fade and the same result.
I found out that I can advance to the next song by the remote, speed up the song, but still won't advance to the next song on it's own.

Well, there is one error in the Pandora plugin log that I didn't see before:

06-Jul-2015 20:33:24 Info [ MusicBoxGUI]: Attempting to log in: camle@***
06-Jul-2015 20:33:24 Error [ MusicBoxGUI]: Unexpected error! System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at PandoraMusicBox.MediaPortalPlugin.GUI.MusicBoxGUI.UpdateGUI()

I now see from the MediaPortal log that when you attempted to enter the Pandora plugin you were shown an error:

Pandora MusicBox has encountered an unexpected error! Sorry about that, maybe retry or check for an update?

The exception in the Pandora log is the cause of what you saw.

I'm very surprised that you didn't think to mention this, because it could prove to be important. It's at least a clear sign that something is not right. Such signs should not be ignored!

I've never used the Pandora plugin but my guess is that this exception is caused either by:

• something unexpected in the Pandora plugin settings (which I can't check, because they weren't included with the log files), possibly related to the current or previous songs
  
• a compatibility issue with the skin you're using

I don't know for sure if the exception is related to the not-advancing-to-next-song thing, but I think there's a good enough chance that you ought to look into this.
