Has this project been abandoned

@kylejohnson has this been abandoned?

[kylejohnson]

Hi - yes, for the most part, it has.

My original use-case for this project no longer exists, and additionally I no longer use Pandora.

I might Grab your code and see if I can adapt it to a Pandora / MQTT program I have to work with Home Assistant. That is if you don't mind poachers. I should keep the browser part though. I've had to resort to it when HomeAssistant burps.

I’d be interested in and open to this - I’ve become an avid home assistant user myself, and have also done some development with it.

I'm not sure if is frowned on to post this sort of reply...but my home assistant interface is a python app that watches for any change in the directory where Pianobar writes the current info. It sends that info to MQTT It also looks for a change in a in that folder and depending on the cammand sends the proper keystroke commands to the Patiobar/Pianobar cmd folder. I use the home assistant notify file which first writes a header when it begins the file the the HA service sends the command to that file.

@Doug-Wyman > I should keep the browser part though

That would be awesome. When you fork the repo could you link it here in this issue? I'd like to make a small change request about the stations menu and being able to set it to close even in desktop mode. It being open when not in use, is really annoying when trying to integrate it into myMPD interface via iframe.

Changes to the browser layout would depend on my ability to follow the code. I have taught myself to code in everything from ASM on a Z80 many different BASICS and such but I never had formal or even peer training on how to layout code. Others are the same so one coder making good sense of the nuances of another's code can have problems. Wasn't until the later 4 or 5 years did I code on a three person team. Awesome genius. I uploaded it to my git desktop and will play alone for a while. Yes, I will definitely let you know when I have something usable. I sure would like to fit my MQTT interface inside Patiobar. Oh my first playing on a computer was 1962 at NSA/JSPC. Yes I know I flaunt that a lot but my life work has been fun.

This thread has inspired me and I'm actually working on this right now myself.
The stations menu will close if the browser window is small enough - I need to change the breakpoint to make better sense of mobile vs. desktop.
Alternatively, I'm considering an alternative layout instead of the stations at the top - e.g. 2-column layout with stations on left, controls on right.

Thoughts?

[bonelifer]

I think both changes are good. Have a config file to switch between them. The two column would be good for people using only Patiobar by itself. I think in my case it would work better with the current layout but a collapsible menu. Possibly with a default breakpoint, but also an option to force it by setting it to 0.

update: the new layout maybe would be better like it is but with the stations at the bottom. Or have the Artwork on the left, with the controls on the right, stations below?

@bonelifer Let's move that discussion over to #42

@kylejohnson I love what I have read so far of your code. I will play here at home but I would much prefer if you could do the requests while I lurk in the background. If you are at all interested in my mqtt thing, I'll attach a copy in my reply. Python app on Debian/Raspbian
