Pandora Applet URL Change

[Michael Taggart]

The current python file for Pandora has a SWF url that no longer works.

FILE: /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/pandora/pandora.py
LINE: (approx. line 19)
URL = 'https://www.pandora.com/radio/tuner_8_7_0_0_pandora.swf'

The line should be changed to:
URL = 'https://www.pandora.com/radio/tuner_8_8_0_2_pandora.swf'

That is the latest swf url as reported in the source of pandora.com. I changed this manually and the applet now works correctly.

As a feature request we could hit pandora.com and figure out the correct url by scraping the html returned from urllib.urlretrieve. Sorry, I am not too familiar with Python or I would give sample code. Maybe I'll work on it and respond back with some code later.

For what it's worth, the "parse the main page of Pandora" feature has already been implemented in trunk, and will be in the 0.4.0 release. In the meantime, our PPA should already have this feature:

http://wiki.awn-project.org/Installation:Ubuntu#PPA

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of the other feature request bug, because it's highly unlikely that the 0.3.x series will have another release to just fix the pandora URL.

Thanks Mark for pointing this out. Sorry, I should have researched this
a bit further before submitting.
