Review behavior when changing music servers
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:23:42 UTC
Testing 6865. Currently if you are connected to SB Server, but the server does _not_ have your SN credentials entered, you get an error when selecting either "My Apps" or "App Gallery" : "Problem Connecting ... A mysqueezebox.com account is required for this service. Please access Squeezebox Server Settings > mysqueezebox.com with a web browser to configure." This error should be unnecessary. My Baby is registered on SN and should be able to access most services. (I suspect this is a dupe of an existing issue, but I couldn't find a bug on this.)
What should happen in this case? Should an SC that doesn't have SN credentials use the player's credentials?
Hmm good question... 2 options: SC stores credentials from a connecting SP player, or SC just passes it through for each specific request made by that SP. Option 2 probably makes more sense to the user.
Seems like yes, SC should use the credentials entered into the player. If there are NO credentials that can be found on either the player or SC (an edge case, but it will happen if we allow the back-door non-internet setup), we should present some sort of screen saying "This feature requires an account from mysqueezebox.com," with options to create an account or log in.
So would SC take on the credentials of the first SP that used it, or would the credentials be passed-through on a per-request basis? This probably has more implications for MV than normal users.
this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.
Andy, any idea where we stand/ is anything planned on this?
A player does not actually store any credentials so this is not a trivial thing to implement.
Tempted to mark this won't fix. Dan how serious is this?
I'd say this is important. Of the questions coming in post-7.4 launch, confusion over server connections or what server do I connect to or how do I connect to mySB.com when I turn off my computer are high. This bug may not be named correctly. (it's too broad?) To this specific issue... Improving the intelligence of SC to connect to an existing account could create one of those "OOoooh" moments for our customers where "it just works". Rather than making a customer jump through the same hoop twice, or worse just being confused why it doesn't work. (Bear in mind, from the customer's perspective they have *already* created the needed account and this error may make no sense.)
Moving these bugs to P4 to make room for moving P1.5 bugs to P2
Administrative move of 7.5 bugs. All P2, P3, P4 being downgraded one level. Will then split P1s.
Moving lower-priority bugs to next target
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
