If you have a Pandora account, you can control it from Home Assistant with this media player.

### {% linkable_title Installation of Pianobar %}
|
|
|
|
This media player uses the [Pianobar command-line Pandora client](https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar), which you have to install separately. This can be done on a Raspberry Pi 2/3 with Raspbian Jessie as follows . _(Note: Other platforms may have different installation processes)_
|
|
|
|
The version of pianobar that comes with Jessie has a bug, so you have to build a more recent version. The latest version depends on a recent version of libraries associated with ffmpeg, so you should make sure you go through the backport process documented in [The FFmpeg component](/components/ffmpeg/) before doing this. Install the following basic dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install git libao-dev libgcrypt11-dev libfaad-dev libmad0-dev libjson0-dev make pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And now install the backported ffmpeg-related libraries (note that if you're using an older version of ffmpeg for other things on this machine, you may encounter issues after doings this):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install libav-tools libavcodec-extra libavcodec-dev libavfilter-dev libavformat-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now clone the Pianobar repo and build pianobar:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar.git
|
|
$ cd pianobar
|
|
$ make clean && make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configure Pianobar to auto-login and start playing a station (optional, see `man pianobar`) by creating and editing the `~/.config/pianobar/config` file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
password = Password
|
|
user = you@youraccount.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Test it out by running `pianobar` in the command line. You should be able to listen to your Pandora stations.
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Configuration in Home Assistant %}
|
|
|
|
The Pandora player can be loaded by adding the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- platform: pandora
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it! Now you will find a media player. If you click it you will find all your stations listed as different sources. If you switch to one, the station will begin playing.
