Not sure if this is really an issue w/ mopidy-pandora or even pydora but they’re both so slow as to be unusable.
I did suspect a network latency issue but other wireless LAN clients (Ubuntu) have no such problem.
Also seeing some noted buffer issues w/ mopidy but not sure that applies to pydora as well.
OS = Raspbian jesse-lite
Hardware = Raspberrypi B+
While in the process of troubleshooting mopidy-pandora I came to see pydora itself working very slowly.
pydora-configure
- this works but takes 4+ minutes to prompt for user input.
- It does successfully create ~/.pydora.cfg
pydora - also works but takes 4+ minutes to connect to pandora, then several minutes to play a song. Next song takes an additional while to load.
NOTE - key commands (pause /play) work instantly.
- MPDroid to Mopidy-Pandora loads stations and artwork for current playing track but is equally slow to respond taking several minutes between songs and just not functioning correctly.
More testing:
pianobar has no such problems. It works perfectly and instantly.
mopidy itself is working.
MPDroid can connect to the mpd server and play local tracks w/ out issue.
At this point other than network latency, I’ve no idea what might cause this. I can’t seem to find a log file for pydora nor a way to debug it.
