rebuffering overlay needs work
Last modified: 2008-05-15 12:59:16 UTC
While listening to an internet radio station, it needed to rebuffer. A few things happened: 1. A full-screen pop-up was displayed. This should have been a slider. 2. It came up where I was navigating. This should have appeared only if I was in Now Playing. 3. Each update to the pop-up was unaccompanied by a go sound. These should have been silent.

This is because all server showBrieflys other than the ones I've modified create a popup on jive at present. I was given to understand this should be a centralised popup - has this changed? We need to go though the server showBriefies and decide which ones not to forward (e.g. each of the rebuffering ones) Possibly only a handful to change.
For a start, the long term, refreshing popups should probably go. This includes the rebuffering and also the firmware update. Each refresh gets a sound so it's rather nasty.
Triode, Dean asked if you might have a chance to look at this? Thanks!

I think this is already fixed (well rebuffering displays no longer reach jive).. Chris - could this be tested and specific cases that remain detailed?
Will do
Chris, any update from qa testing on this?
Ping QA: we need some verification on this.
Ross: can you take a look at this?
Steven would you mind looking at this for me?
I am not seeing the behavior described. Using a number of different high bit rate streams I managed to create a number of rebuffering situations on both a Squeezebox Classic and a Squeezebox Receiver with a Squeezebox Controller. The thing is I did not get any pop up on Squeezebox Controller at all. Dean, is that the desired behavior?
I would suggest we close this - I removed the offending case quite a while ago and as no one has complained about popups showing buffering I am reasonably convinced they have gone. Indeed the only comment I have seen recently is about lack of feedback when radio stations are connecting - which is the absence of any popups!
This bug has recently been fixed in the latest release of SqueezeCenter 7.0.1 Please try that version, if you still see the error, then reopen this bug. To download this version, please navigate to: http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html
