the x-headers were deprecated quite some time ago.  As such, this isn't critical
severity, nor is it even major loss of function.

Can you explain why these are require and/or result in a crash due to the value?
can you use the CLI to get the current song duration instead?

see help section of slimserver, technical information for docs on the
command-line interface.
thanks

Let's fix this thing for 6.2.1 so that Jonas can continue to support SlimServer.  

The badness of the x- header interface has already been made clear, but this is a dumb and trivial bug 
that we should fix.

ok then...
try this for line 1839 of HTTP.pm:
$headers{"x-playerduration"} = Slim::Player::Source::playingSongDuration($client);

I'll have to rely one someone else to tell me if that works right.

also, removing the use of Slim::Music::Info::total_time means there is only one
other.  I'll clear that one out with the the direct db accessor if this turns
out to be used as above.

fixed for tonight's nightly, both 6.2.1 and 6.5

Still not fixed in the nightly 6.2.1 build. Please see header dump below:

{
    Connection = "keep-alive"; 
    "Content-Length" = 49; 
    "Content-Type" = "text/plain"; 
    Date = "Wed, 02 Nov 2005 11:15:50 GMT, Wed, 02 Nov 2005 11:15:50 GMT"; 
    Refresh = "30; url=status.txt"; 
    Server = "SlimServer (6.2.1 - 4990)"; 
    "X-P0" = version; 
    "X-P1" = "?"; 
    "X-Player" = "00:d0:90:50:33:ee";

    "X-Playerrepeat" = 1; 
    "X-Playershuffle" = 1; 
    "X-Playersleep" = 0; 
    "X-Playertime" = 83; 
    "X-Playertitle" = "Electronic Performers"; 
    "X-Playertrack" = "file:///Users/salling/Music/iTunes/iTunes%20Music/Air/10%27000%20Hz%
20Legen= d/01%20Electronic%20Performers.mp3"; 
    "X-Playertracks" = 1; 
    "X-Playervolume" = 76; 
}

Sorry, my commit failed n the 6.2.1 branch.  It just worked, look for it tonight.  

Seems fixed. Thx!
