Get Pandora TLS Fingerprint
#!/bin/bash

## A simple little shell script that will return the current
## fingerprint on the SSL certificate. It's crude but works :D

This return the correct tls_fingerprint, but still getting the Login... Network error: TLS read failed.
This worked perfectly until I issued: mkfifo /home/pi/.config/pianobar/ctl That's when pianobar
quit working. Can't figure out how to reverse this problem. :(

Oh, and thanks for this script!

Thanks @r35krag0th. I'm experiencing the same problem as @pixster. Ubuntu 12.04.

Thanks so much for this! They must have just updated the server with a new TLS Fingerprint. Found it right away with this code and back up listening to Pandora on my Raspberry Pi!

@acepha, thanks for the update, I came here earlier today trying to figure out what went wrong. I'm still having trouble figuring out how/where to update the info though. I'm trying to follow along with the fixes over here: PromyLOPh/pianobar#321 but I'm still quite new to Linux. Any baby steps from here?

@Eucrates
I am still a beginner myself but I can help you out with getting back into the config file for pianobar to change the TLS Fingerprint.

cd .config
cd pianobar
sudo nano config

This should open up the config file for pianobar
Scroll down to find your current tls_fingerprint
Update with the new tls_fingerprint

CTLR + X to Save and exit
Y to Save
Enter to confirm

You can also find it by open up File Manager...then find the .config folder...inside should be a pianobar folder...inside that is the config file for pianobar. Double clicking it will open it up in Leafpad. This should allow you to edit and save.

I'm having a TLS fingerprint problem, except there is no pianobar folder inside the .config folder, so I can't change the fingerprint. Do you have any idea why this is, or how to get around it? I'm using Debian.

@bcorey Just create ~/.config/pianobar/config (cd ~/.config && mkdir pianobar && nano (or vi or whatever editor) pianobar/config) and add the "tls_fingerprint = xxxxx" line.

@r35krag0th I've Modified this to automatically change the tls_fingerprint for you: https://gist.github.com/bonelifer/9d12e13b8465c213d2d2
