Fishbone never refreshes playlist
Last modified: 2006-09-29 20:41:30 UTC
I was playing with Random Play and had the Fishbone skin loaded. The playlist is never refreshed so you never see new songs that are added to the playlist.
This is working for me. what browser are you using?
Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Ubuntu. Hmm, not sure why this is not the latest version. Let me try on some other browsers.
do you remember what music was playing at the time?
at least this should only be a problem in trunk, as the ajax playlist updates are not in 6.5 I'll try to reproduce later today. It might be that I've missed soemthing in more recent changes.
OK good, I am using trunk at the moment. I was trying a 1/1 Random Play (looking at bug 3696). It works some of the time. I think it can be reproduced this way: Play 1/1 Random Play. On the middle track (#2), skip the track using the skip button in the web UI. Web will refresh to display the 3rd track playing, but after this the playlist no longer updates.
OK, looks like it does actually refresh, but not until after the track change. After you skip track #2, it does not show the next upcoming track until track #3 starts playing.
right ok. that's important :) Odd, however, as it should still refresh when it senses the new track was added. I'll have to check the timing there.
if you still have time to test, this appears to take care of it for me. Add after playlistChecker(); in Fishbone/html/ajax.js around line 308: setTimeout( "playlistChecker()", 10*1000); When the song changes, the new track seems to get added before the full info update. skipping a song causes the update to happen immediately, and thus before the playlist change.
fixed at change 10111. might now take 10 seconds to update....but that's no longer never ;)
