This is how I got Pandora script going on my Apple TV 2.
I used the script here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=70471&highlight=pandora
First make sure your Apple TV is jailbroken and you have XBMC and SSH installed.
ssh into the Apple TV
ssh root@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
password is alpine
cd /Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/addons
wget -O xbmc-pandora-xbmc-pandora-master.tar.gz http://gitorious.org/xbmc-pandora/xbmc-pandora/archive-tarball/master
tar -xvzf xbmc-pandora-xbmc-pandora-master.tar.gz
rm xbmc-pandora-xbmc-pandora-master.tar.gz
mv xbmc-pandora-xbmc-pandora script.xbmc.pandora
cd $_
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/raw/master/src/libpiano/crypt_key_output.h
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/raw/master/src/libpiano/crypt_key_input.h
After that, start up XBMC -> Music -> Music Addons -> Pandora
The first time you run the script, it will ask you to go to the settings page so you can enter your login information.
Hopefully that gets Pandora going for you.
works well.. you should note that each line of that script is a separate command.
I get a “script failed” error messaage when loading on my apple tv through XBMC. I did manage to enter my username and password already but it fails when the app tries to load/log in.
Jim, what version iOS are you running? This worked with a older built. I think 4.1.
I have been using nightly builds from xbmc forums and haven’t tried to install Pandora on the new nightly builds.
I am getting a script failed error, with a message like, “can’t load keys”. I am using 4.2.2 of ATV2 with latest main version of xbmc (11.0.0)
Sorry I haven’t tested this on the newest version of xbmc.
Loading Script Failed…..Error Unable to load keys…. Any ideas?
I haven’t used my Apple TV in a while every since I built my new i5 HTPC and hooked that up to my TV to run Windows MCE to record TV HD TV shows, XBMC, Boxee, etc…
How do you uninstall pandora and XBMC from your apple tv?
Has anyone found a resolution to the “cannot load keys ” error message?
I’m assuming the website that hosts the keys isn’t hosting them anymore and that’s why you might be getting the errors.
I too get this error msg “unable to load keys” on AT2 XBMC. The force key option doesn’t seem to work either. I even updated to the latest XBMC build. Has there been any solution to this? Thanks for any help.
I was getting the error “cannot load keys” when I originally followed the install instructions above. I was able to resolve this issue by simply re-booting the Apple TV. I have got in a habit of restarting Lowtide and re-booting Apple TV after every modification and it has helped on more than one occasion to get things working. Once I did this my Pandora add-on started up perfectly and I have been streaming music ever since. I am running this on ATV Software Version 4.3 without issue. I hope this simple solution will help a few of you get up and running. If someone discovers how to create a new station using the apple remote I would appreciate the info.
John,
I got the same error: “unable to load keys” after removing the script.xbmc.pandora folder from both addons and addons.data and doing a complete install per the directions above. After getting the error I noticed that the script.xbmc.pandora in the addons.data directory was empty. I quit xbmc and started it again and pandora came right up. The addons.data script.xbmc.pandora now has 3 files: key_in, key_out, and settings.xml.

This works seamlessly for me! Thanks a million! Now how the hell do i get Hulu?
this works great! how do you get hulu this way?
Worked perfectly the first time… Thank you for your hard work!
work like a charm… got the “unable to load keys” error when i ran it first time after putting in my username and password. i just exited out of xbmc completely which turns the apple tv off and on. went back into xbmc and back into pandora and it was smooth sailing. streaming as i write this. i’m running this on iOS 4.4.4
***NOTE*** each script is a separate command. so press enter after you paste each command.
putting pandora on my wife apple tv after i post this.
Worked great, but I just wanted to let you know you could use a different directory.
I used /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/addons/ and it worked perfectly after a reboot. I didn’t read the first step of your instructions and had to manually move the directory to the addon folder, so I just used the one I see the most.
Thanks!
do you know why once i put the first command in and hit enter that it would start to load but constantly freezes? it gets about between 15%-50% complete and just freezes, i’m using winscp……any suggestions?
