CURRTIME in TitleFormat broken
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:39:24 UTC
I put CURRTIME into my TitleFormat so that I can use my SliMP3 as a clock as well as tell me what's playing. This used to work fine. When I updated to 6.2.1 (from 6.0.x), I started getting only 4:00PM as the time. I'm guessing this is midnight GMT (I'm PST). Couldn't find this by searching the bug database. Apologies if it's a dupe. SlimServer Version: 6.2.1 - 5194 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 SliMP3 Player Firmware Version: 2.3
tiode, could this be a display caching issue?
I suspect this is due to the display cache used to speed up the now playing display. This stores the format of the title and only updates it when the url being played changes. [inside standardTitle in Slim::Music::Info.pm] If you would like to display time and song info on the same time, could you consider using the plugin MusicInfoSCR [see plugins list]. From memory this should be able to display the current time in either of the overlays [right hand portions of the screen] without caching.
I can definitely look into using MusicInfoSCR. However, I want to be clear that this is not solely a caching issue. The time always displays 4:00PM for me. Whatever time is being used to compute the display time is always midnight GMT.
Mike, I think I've found the cause of this - it was trying to convert the currently playing track into a time.. I have changed 6.5 trunk from r6066 - so the next nightly for 6.5 should have this fixed. Though I think the time will possibly still be cached for the duration of the current track, so may not be totally useful?
Caching for the duration of the track is more than adequate for my needs. Glad you were able to find it!
Mike, can you confirm that this is fixed? If so, please close the bug.

Sounds like it's working to me. Please reopen if it's not. Thanks
