FAQ

  • No stations show up! First, make sure you actually have some stations on your account. You'll have to go to pandora.com to add stations for now. Second, check ~/.config/pancake/config and make sure you've entered your email and password correctly

  • No album art! Double check that you have w3m installed, and that w3mimgdisplay resides in /usr/lib/w3m/. Also make sure that you are using an up-to-date terminal running in an x session. If your terminal doesn't display them, let me know.

  • No sound! Is your computer muted...

Known bugs

  • Album art doesn't display correctly in tmux
  • Occasionally crashes when a song finishes, just hit q and start it up again to fix it.
