Pandora

Is there any support for Pandora?  It would be great to be able to go into Sonos, and kick off a Pandora channel.

There is no support for Pandora, there is for Sonos.
So, yes, you can launch the Pandora media using the Sonos user interface in myServer webpages.

If you find mention of a "Pandora App" in Allonis old documentation, that reflected that there used to be a direct integration with the Pandora cloud media service that didn't require Sonos (or other) player.  That capability was killed when SiriusXM killed the Pandora API.

Pandora is a source for Sonos (accessed via the Sonos App). In the Sonos available commands, I don't see how you can pick a source. What I would like is to be able to pull a list of "my stations" and select the one I wanted. At a macro level, picking any source (to sonos) and seeing the options would be desirable.

The Sonos api does not provide a mechanism for browsing sources and then navigating them. The best the api lets you do is save a Pandora station as Sonos favorite. The Sonos api does allow for browsing their favorites. You can then launch the pandora station from there.

Someone has taken the time to reverse engineer the Sonos radio apps protocol. While it probably works it is not trivial task to integrate and then it would be subject to breaking at any time when someone at Sonos makes a change to the api.

That works! Thanks
