Bugzilla – Bug 13361
Napster always repeats the same track
Last modified: 2009-12-23 13:34:48 UTC
No matter how I have the 'repeat' setting, Napster will repeat the same track when steaming 'top 100s' (any selection) This is repeatable on all SP devices, connected to SC or SN
Created attachment 5606 [details] serial capture Here is a serial log from my affected SP device
Added CAT2 keyword, assuming this is a widespread problem playing all Napster tracks. However, if this is only happening in the _very_specific_ case below (i.e., for this specific playlist on Napster and nowhere else) then it's not a major issue (and is likely Napster's problem, not ours).
I just started seeing this, occurs on any player type. Appears to be related to the streaming code. Will post a log shortly.
Created attachment 5737 [details] player.source log Here's a log where the same track was started that had previously been playing. Note no calls into the Napster protocol handler to fetch a new track.
It looks like this is a consequence of the Internet radio retry 'fix'. The assumption is that a remote stream with unknown duration must be radio, so if it ends we just restart it. The was falling foul of the mechanism used to save a restore client playlists in M3U files. The track duration was not being saved so, after a restart and restore, the tracks had unknown duration.

This is still happening as of today, Alan, what if anything did you do to fix this issue?
I fixed the M3U playlist handler - used to save and restore client (player) playlists across a server restart - so that it would restore the track duration. That was change 28734. Can you detail the circumstances under which it is still happening?
Go to Napster ->Top 100's ->Tracks -> Play All It won't move to the next track even though the playlist appears to be constructed properly. As a side note: is there a way to remove a song from this automatically created playlist? -Sam
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #28542 to the slim repo by ayoung == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revision&revision=28542 == Fixed bug 13361: Napster always repeats the same track Fixed bug 13967: On Boom: Short podcasts (and perhaps other media types?) repeat bits. Reopen bug 11888: Player should reconnect to a remote stream if the connection ends before the known duration bug 3161: Need more aggressive auto-retry for internet radio Revert change which attempts to resume fixed-length remote streams that appear to end prematurely, and which attempts to reconnect to remote streams that appear to be radio. The algorithms for detecting whether a stream has indeed ended prematurely are not sufficiently accurate in either case.
This bug has been marked as fixed in the 7.4.0 release version of SqueezeBox Server! * SqueezeCenter: 28672 * Squeezebox 2 and 3: 130 * Transporter: 80 * Receiver: 65 * Boom: 50 * Controller: 7790 * Radio: 7790 Please see the Release Notes for all the details: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Release_Notes If you haven't already, please download and install the new version from http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/support/download-squeezebox-server.html If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
I think it's back, if this is the same bug?. Napster keeps playing the same track on Napster Radio. I can hit PAUSE + PLAY to skip to next song. But just letting Napster play it keeps repeating the same song.
SBS 7.5.0 - r29640 Touch r8256 I think it's back, if this is the same bug?. Napster keeps playing the same track on Napster Radio. I can hit PAUSE + PLAY to skip to next song. But just letting Napster play it keeps repeating the same song.
EDIT #2: this is on MySB, not SBS
