Bugzilla – Bug 17174
Title info doesn't update correctly when multiple SBs are playing same station
Last modified: 2012-03-28 01:37:56 UTC
I have 2 squeezeboxes connected to my squeezebox server: a squeezebox 3 and a squeezebox radio. After upgrading from squeezebox server 7.5.2 to 7.5.4, I noticed te following behavior: - When one of the squeezeboxes plays a radio stream (mp3), the title info is updated just fine in the now playing screen. - When both squeezeboxes play the same stream, only the sb3 updates the the title info. The sb radio, seems to fetch title info once when play is pressed, but doesn't update the title info after that.
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
This is to do with the code for changing the title (Slim::Music::Info::setCurrentTitle()) which only effects a change if the new title is different from the one already recorded for that URL. The new title is propagated to all displays and controllers associated with players in the current sync-group (that of the player on behalf of which the title-change was invoked), so it is not a problem for synced players, and it will always update on ip3k player UIs because they refresh their display all the time, but it may not be propagated to independent SP-based players. The SP player will get the title update if the server happens to process the new metadata for that player first.
