Pause music when computer is restarted about hermes HOT 7 CLOSED

I agree, I'm working on this. Having fun figuring out Lion APIs and such... I'll post here when I've fixed this.

Found it! Does this do what you are expecting?

It doesn't play on restart, but I'm not sure it does exactly what I'm expecting (yes, I have high expectations). With the new version, on restart, Hermes isn't playing any station. I would expect it to stay on the same station (and preferably even the same song) on restart, but it is in a paused state. Ideally, after a restart, you can just press the play/pause key and it'll be as if you never restarted.

I'm not sure how exactly the APIs work, but I'm not sure you would even need to refer to Lion APIs – just switch Hermes to a paused state when the computer is about to shut down, and then Lion should automatically restore this paused state when you restart.

Pandora's API gives a link to a song, and this link expires after an amount of time. This means that when you reboot, you're not guaranteed that the link will work.

I can see, however, that it might be possible to try its best at restoring the previous state. It could certainly save off where
you were in the song and the list of future songs/station/whatnot. On restart it would then read off all this information and try to restore state based off of that.

It's very likely this restore will fail, however, because all of the links will have expired. You can't ask Pandora for a link to a specific song, so you'd have to throw away the saved songs and continue playing song on the current station. Does that sound reasonable?

That sounds very reasonable. I'm not sure how long this link lasts, but in the current stable version of Hermes I'm fairly certain I left my computer off for around 12 hours and it resumed playing when I turned it back on. I don't know if this is because Pandora's link still hadn't expired, or the whole song was just cached and Lion restored this cache on startup.

How does this build look to you?

Works great!
