Missing display update in Podcast plugin
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:54:16 UTC
The change in rev. 3249 http://lists.slimdevices.com/archives/checkins/2005-May/005472.html causes problem of display update in Podcast plugin. When pressing right arrow when browsing the feeds, the display is stuck at the Fetching... screen after the feed is actually fetched. Inserting the removed $client->update(); in Common.pm fixes the problem for Podcast. It seems like the $client->update(); was removed because of some side-effects, but for Podcast to work correctly, a call to update is needed for some reason. A fix for Podcast without side-effects needs to be found.
It took me a while to figure out how to consistently reproduce. This happens often, but only when the time to fetch the feed exceeds the pushLeft scrolling animation. So with a faster connection its not always easy to see. Anyway, fixed (revision 3264). Glad to know others are using the podcast plugin.
This bug was marked resolved in Slimserver 6.1, which is several versions ago. If you're still seeing this bug, please re-open it. Thanks!
