"Error: Protocol incompatible. Please upgrade libpiano."

NB: If you came here from a Google search, please see http://faraone.cc/s/pandoraUbuntuBreakage , the tracker for the latest issue with Pandora. What follows is an older, similar bug.

== SRU INFORMATION ==

Pandora changed their API, so here we provide an update to support API v31. The API change rendered pianobar and pithos unusable.

This is low-impact to other apps, because pithos and pianobar have no rev-depends.

=== pithos (gtk) ===
What happens:
On login, "Pandora does not support your client version"

What should happen:
You are logged in and a station loaded.

Just received this error a few minutes ago, in the middle of streaming:

(i) Receiving new playlist... Error: Protocol incompatible. Please upgrade libpiano.

I'm using Maverick, pianobar version 2010.10.07-1ubuntu0.2.

Neither of these tasks are ‘fix released’ in Oneiric. Please ensure these bugs are fixed in the development release.

Once that's done the pianobar uploads look good. I'd like the pithos changes to be made as a proper patch rather than as an autogenerated debian-changes patch, however. Since it's a 3.0 (quilt) package that should be as easy as renaming the patch and cleaning up the DEP3 header.

If you're using Natty, can you test from the official repositories
(natty-proposed) and report your success with that?

UBUNTU 9.10 +proposed
PITHOS 0.3.9

Using instructions at http://kevinmehall.net/p/pithos/ - I tried to reinstall per bug #814672, but get the same console error:

ERROR:root:fault: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: 000.000.000.000|0|INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION|Pandora does not support your client version.

Nothing in this bug's description makes clear how to install/test a beta version.

The author needs to update the home page to this issue.

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

Support for Ubuntu 9.10 was dropped in April 2011. That version of Ubuntu is now more than two years old, please upgrade.

[JW (arch0njw)]

It's Baa-aack.

Version:
$ pithos --version
Pithos 0.3.11

Error:
$ pithos

I am getting "Pandora does not support your client version" again too. Any fix yet?

$ pithos --version

[David Robert Lewis (afrodeity)]

pianobar has issues.

protocol incompatible, please upgrade libpiano

[meow9th (y-yuan)]

For those of you who don't want to wait for a new Ubuntu package to be released every time there's a protocol update: I recommend simply building from source, available from pianobar's github (github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar). It seems that the source is updated within a few hours each time the protocol changes. The installation is really straightforward and painless, in my experience. The dependencies are very clearly stated in the INSTALL file, as well as the commands to compile.

Be aware, though, that there is another bug affecting pianobar (after the protocol update - see https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/issues/174), which has been fixed but the master branch won't be updated until this weekend, according to the developer.
