Allow handover of players from "lost" servers
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:26:54 UTC
I've got remarks from several users that have trouble understanding the concept of having players bound to different music sources. I would like to be able to separate the Music Source from the player control. The way to do this for me would be to keep one connection for NowPlaying (to the server the current player is connected to) and one for the database itself. I would consider this only for those players and servers that are known to each other - that is the players that will be shown on a serverstatus query. See also: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=426398 This change would automatically take over a player which's server has shut down. It should only work for players that are known and which can be seen on the local network. Tis would help with three issues: - Handling "temporary" servers, e.g. on a laptop - Handling connect/disconnect to SN - avoiding "lost" players that are no longer connected to ANY server
