Pandora One, yet shows Commercial Break as song title occaisonally

[rickpage]

Second time seeing this, will update if I am more confident about how to reproduce. I have Pandora One, so I do not get commercials. But I have attached screen shot showing the song Land Down Under by the Avalanches was renamed to Commercial Advertisement by Pandora. Clicking Song Info shows the correct info by opening the Pandora song info page for that song.

The image attached attempts to show the difference.

Steps I will try later to reproduce:

1. Suspend (running Ubuntu) while Pithos is running but paused.
2. Wake up, log in, unpause pithos.
3. Pithos will stop playing, sometimes in the middle of a song. I am thinking this is related to me using Suspend, and when it stops I change the station, plays normally. (This could be already documented issue, only have searched for commercial related issues before this post.)
4. In this case I changed the station once, then changed the station almost right away to Avalanches
5. First song right away shows Commercial Advertisement

Also, I doubt this should effect anything, but the song in question is only 0:34 seconds long. Closer to a commercial than a full song.

I'm experienced with Python, not so much with Pithos code yet, but I'm open to investigating this further if anyone has hints / direction / ideas. The only plugin im using is Notify. I have the Pandora One box checked. No proxy, no explicit content filter, Audio quality High.

That would do it, currently it hardcodes a 45 second rule for ads as that was the easiest way to detect them.

Okay, that makes sense then. Would it suffice to change the check to < 45 s AND no song title present (or whatever other criteria we can count on - if any)? Where would I look for this code, what file(s)? I'll make the change and test if I know where to look.

That's the problem, it shows the title of a normal song. I think the pianobar project implemented some better ad checks but I am not sure. We handle this in pithos.py:check_if_song_is_ad().

There might be something useful in https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pandora-apidoc/blob/master/json/ads.rst

But a good 1st step would be to just disable ad checking for Pandora one accounts.

The key 'might' be adToken?
