What's New

Version 2.0:  (Make sure to update both Panmote and the Panmote Companion)
  • [New] Added support for Shuffle.  You can now play shuffle genres from Panmote.  Additionally, you can manage your custom shuffle by selecting the stations that are included in the shuffle.
  • [New] Added support for Chrome in addition to Internet Explorer.  You can now specify your browser preference from the Panmote Companion Options menu (Chrome is the default preference).  Note: due to this change, you cannot connect to an existing browser running Pandora.  Instead, when you start the Panmote Companion it will automatically open Pandora in a new window in your preferred browser.  When you close the Panmote Companion, it will automatically close the browser that it had opened.
  • [New] Added "What's New" section to Panmote to keep the user up-to-date on the changes included in the latest version of Panmote and Panmote Companion.
  • [New] Added versioning between client and server to ensure they are in sync.  The user will receive a version error if either the client or server is out-of-sync.
  • [Bug] Fixed Panmote Companion login performance issues.  Login should now be much quicker.
  • [Bug] Cleaned up the Panmote Companion menu to take up less visual space.  The menu is now accessed from one main button.
  • [Bug] Fixed an issue that was causing the currently playing song not to update when switching back and forth between the same stations.
  • [Bug] Fixed an issue that was preventing some users from installing the Panmote Companion due to "a newer version of Visual C++ is already installed" error.
  • [Bug] Fixed an issue where Panmote was not able to find some servers that were running the Panmote Companion on computers with non-standard IP addresses.
  • [Bug] Fixed other miscellaneous bugs.
