Description Philip Meyer 2005-08-31 16:39:11 UTC

I mentioned this problem with nightly build 2005-08-26, but thought it was 
likely to be the same problem as bug 2031, which is now in fixed state (since 
4110).

However, I have 4117, and this problem still exists:

Can't locate object method "path" via package "file:///M:/Music/Music%
20Downloads/Various%20Artists/Chillout%20Moods%20Vol.%201" (perhaps you forgot 
to load "file:///M:/Music/Music%20Downloads/Various%20Artists/Chillout%20Moods%
20Vol.%201"?) at /PerlApp/Slim/Player/Playlist.pm line 595.

I simply tried to play some music via the SqueezeBoxG "browse music folder".  
SlimServer dies as soon as I press play.

did you have an existing playlist loaded prior to this, or was it new music?
did you play a folder or tracks from player bmf?

Comment 2 KDF 2005-08-31 22:48:18 UTC

search of code looks like $client->currentPlaylist is saved as an object
sometimes, and a path in others:

execute 'playlistcontrol' and parseSearchTerms()
$client->currentPlaylist($obj) if $load;

execute 'play'
$client->currentPlaylist($fixpath);

solution could be (line 595 of Playlist.pm):
ref($client->currentPlaylist)?$client->currentPlaylist->path:$client->currentPlaylist;

or find a way to convert all the currentPlaylists to objects (which would break
the old methods to play a playlist by filename (command->'playlist'->'load' for eg)

There probably was a current playlist (but it wasn't playing).
I think I pressed play at folder level in BMF.

Comment 4 Philip Meyer 2005-09-01 01:31:49 UTC

Also get a similar crash when trying to play a podcast through the podcast 
plugin.

Can't locate object method "path" via 
package "http://topofthepods.mx5.org.uk/shows/TOTP20050926_Top_Ten_Phrases_That
_Americans_Say_While_Attempting_A_British_Accent.mp3" (perhaps you forgot to 
load "http://topofthepods.mx5.org.uk/shows/TOTP20050926_Top_Ten_Phrases_That_Am

committed possible fix to trunk change 4170.  please update svn or download sept
6 nightly build to confirm.

Comment 9 KDF 2005-09-06 10:43:04 UTC

With change 4170 and change 4171 from adrian, this should be fixed.  please
re-open if any issues remain.
