+- Rate played songs and let pandora explain why they have been selected

+- Remote control and eventcmd interface (send tracks to last.fm, for example)
+- Proxy support for listeners outside the USA
+
+Included with this SlackBuild is a helper script called pianobarctl that
+allows the user to remotely control some pianobar functions. To use
this a FIFO must first be created by the user:
- mkfifo ~/.config/pianobar/ctl
-Please see man pianobar and pianobarctl --help for more information.
+ mkfifo ~/.config/pianobar/ctl
+
+Please see man pianobar and pianobarctl --help for more information. The
+documentation also includes a few example scripts you can use with pianobar.
NOTE:
-Around the end of last year Pandora changed their certificate, so pianobar
-will not work unless you give it the new fingerprint.
+If you are getting an error stating your TLS fingerpring is incorrect you need
+to configure pianobar so that it has the correct one.
+
+You can execute the following script to get a new TLS fingerprint:
+
+ sh /usr/doc/pianobar-$VERSION/example-scripts/tls_fingerprint.sh
-In your pianobar config file (~/.config/pianobar/config) you need to have
-the following line:
- tls_fingerprint = 13CC51AC0C31CD96C55015C76914360F7AC41A00
+Then open your pianobar configuration in your user's home directory
+(~/.config/pianobar/config) and add the following line:
-(By the way, an example config file is in /usr/doc/pianobar-$VERSION/)
+ tls_fingerprint = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-The next time Pandora updates their cert again, you can quickly find the
-value needed by executing:
- sh /usr/doc/pianobar-$VERSION/example-scripts/tls_fingerprint.sh
+If for some reason you receive an error about the TLS fingerprint again, just
+execute tls_fingerprint.sh again and ammend your user's configuration file.
