Bugzilla – Bug 14648
Local playlists with remote URLs missing title
Last modified: 2010-04-08 17:25:12 UTC
I have a playlist of radiostations streamed from a vdr system. In 7.3.3. the names of the stations were correctly displayed. In 7.4.0. and 7.4.1. the titles is empty for all entries. An example of an entry of the .m3u-file: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,Antenne Brandenburg http://192.168.0.1:3000/ES/S19.2E-1-1093-28454
Andy: is this a network issue or SC issue?
Its in the playlist menu of the music collection of squeezebox server web ui. In squeezecenter 7.3.3. the same playlist was shown correctly. Several rescans did not lead to any change. A log of format/playlists shows that the file is scanned correctly, but the scanned titles do not find a way to database(?) and display. I even removed the only UTF-8 character in the file, but no change.
Since we don't store remote URLs in the database anymore, this causes a problem for local playlists that point at remote URLs. The scanner gets the title correctly but this is only stored within the scanner process and never read by the server process.
I guess that if it were added to the RemoteTrack object (by the scanner?) then it would get stored in the M3U playlist.
I think what's happening is: The local playlist gets scanned into a regular Playlist object (in the db) and the entry is scanned as a RemoteTrack. So after the scanner shuts down the RemoteTrack title info is lost. When the main server plays it, it doesn't re-scan the playlist to find the title info.
moving current p2 bugs to p3 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.
Mark, Please provide some examples of specific URLs that have this problem. I cannot reproduce it but I need to know how you get the items in to the playlist in the first place.
Hi Alan, the playlist contains several entries almost identical to the example I put in my original bug description (the example is the beginning/first entry of my list). In fact you can take just this one entry for testing (the URL looks quit strange, but it is a stream of my locally running VDR server). The playlist was created externally using a normal texteditor and then the directory which contains this playlist was announced as the playlist directory to squeezeboxserver. Then a scan of the database was started. In 7.3.3. this works without problems and all titles ("Antenne Brandenburg" in the example) were displayed correctly. In 7.4.x the title is empty. I just installed 7.4.1. and as expected it is the same behaviour. Hope this helps for reproducing the problem.
I have the same problem. Here is an example playlist: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,RNE Radio 3 http://radio3.rtve.stream.flumotion.com/rtve/radio3.mp3.m3u #EXTINF:-1,RNE Radio 5 http://radio5.rtve.stream.flumotion.com/rtve/radio5.mp3.m3u #EXTINF:-1,Cadena Digital 97.8 FM (Malaga) http://92.48.107.35:8006/ I have found that if I edit the playlist in 'My Music' -> 'Playlists' it will remember the name I give it, but it removes the rest of the comment lines from the playlist file, like this. Here I renamed 'Cadena Digital' to 'Fred.' #EXTM3U http://radio3.rtve.stream.flumotion.com/rtve/radio3.mp3.m3u http://radio5.rtve.stream.flumotion.com/rtve/radio5.mp3.m3u #EXTINF:-1,Fred http://92.48.107.35:8006/ The playlist name 'Fred' will disappear after a server restart, but the playlist file will remain unchanged. Server details are: Version: 7.4.1 - r28947 @ Tue Oct 20 07:59:38 PDT 2009 Operating system: Red Hat - EN - utf8 Platform Architecture: x86_64-linux Perl Version: 5.8.8 - x86_64-linux-thread-multi MySQL Version: 5.0.77 Could I work around this by using opml playlists until this bug is fixed?
