Bugzilla – Bug 13989
on Flickr: locks up now playing screen
Last modified: 2010-05-27 15:41:38 UTC
Play a station. Got to Now Playing, select "on flickr" let slide show play for extended period without changing the station, skipping etc. The Flickr slides continue. Escape back to menu, Now PLaying display locked on old music. Change stations, skip forward, change services and old Now Playing persists. However, track info data is updated. To resolve, let's hide the on flickr feature until we can nail it solid.
Andy and I can't reproduce this... QA, please give it a try.
I tried this today, but was unable to replicate the error as stated. I do not see 'on fliker' when playing content. Matt: are you able to repo this?
"on Flickr" is not part of this release. I'll play with it but let's push it to 8.0, P2 for now.
Does it even make sense to have 'on Flickr' as an option? Flickr is just a picture service isn't it? It will never be able to search for music I'm playing. Or am I missing something? I would vote for just removing it from the context menu all together.
disagree, on Flickr is about the most fun thing in the context menu. Loads pics of the band you're listening to...
OH, I didn't know that, I thought it was just loading random pics I played with this a bit today, but was not able to replicate the error as described. However, the algorithm may need a bit of work. Playing the 'band' .38 special shows me images of a Smith and Wesson guns as well as 'band' pics
Please, stop working on this until we're done with the release. It's a cool feature and we'll add it back once we can be sure we create a good user experience and that it works reliably. Matt Weldon has other ideas on how to incorporate band info as part of now playing and screensavers. Let's give ourselves a chance to think it though. Please stay focused on P1s for Sept 28th.
The 'UI' component is being removed. This bug is being shifted to the appropriate new component.
