Duet remote freezing on now playing
Last modified: 2011-03-16 04:39:20 UTC
My duet remote's screen freezes on Now Playing of a song, but will continue on through the play list of playing each given song. When I pause or stop and hit play again, it plays but the screen is still stuck. When I advance to the play list I can see the songs artwork that the screen is stuck on is listed as playing in the list, but of course it is not the song playing. More for this is on http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59889 It's no connection problem. I think the controller get no information for the next song and did no update for Now Playing.

Try changing your When Playing; Screen Saver on the Controller to NONE Does this change the behavior?
Partly, it still freeze but I can select another Track and the Now Playing is refreshed. Description what happen: Select an Album -> Tracks played -> after some Tracks the Audiooutput stopped at the end of the Track and on the controller count the time from -59:59 down and add the seconds and minutes to the played tracktime, but the next Track did not start playing.
Additional: After this Hour the Controller goes from play to paused. This happens with almost every Album. Please fix this before 7.3.3 goes stable.
One additional note: if i select none as screensaver the display goes still off, same as the turn lcd off option.
QA to reproduce and comment
OK, after some hour of research. This Bug is related to Bug #10199, all Tracks where this happend are Tracks with non-ascii characters. But I think, if squeezecenter could not transcode the next song it must skip this track and continue playing the playlist and must not freeze the screensaver. btw. is it right that turn LCD off and none is the same.
Thanks for the extra effort in researching this one, I'll mark your bug as a duplicate then, you should get notified when a fix is made. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 10199 ***
