DAILY_SKIP_LIMIT_REACHED comes up after switching stations

[Allison Nelson]

I've been using Pithos for a long time and I love it, but for the past couple of days, I have been experiencing some odd behavior. I have two favorite stations that I often switch back and forth between, and this has never been a problem for me before. However, recently after I switch stations 3 or 4 times, it gives me an error that says "DAILY_SKIP_LIMIT_REACHED - subscribe for more skips." First of all, I didn't think that switching stations counted as skips. I didn't skip any songs, only switched the station. It refuses to play any more music after this happens.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04. Any ideas?

I'm having the problem as well. It seems the new Pandora protocol may have removed Pithos' ability to circumvent the skip limit.

I confirm that the same error is happening to me. Although it seems to have happened after newly installing today and switching between a few stations.

Here's the output for pithos -v:

After the error I went to pandora.com and successfully switched stations without error.

I hope this helps.
