Slacker - Repeat All enabled when Slacker is exited
Last modified: 2011-09-05 12:02:12 UTC
When leaving Slacker and going back to playing from the local server, the repeat state is always 'Repeat All' (repeat playlist). Seen in both the new Default skin and in the Classic skin. In the Classic skin I even set repeat to Off while in Slacker (the controls in Classic aren't modified for Slacker) and upon returning to normal play it immeditiately changes to 'All'.
Pandora, Slacker, and Rhapsody Radio use a hack where repeat is forced to 'all'. I've added a workaround where the old repeat setting is restored after you start playing something else. Should take care of this problem in most cases. Change 15428.
This bug is being closed since it was resolved for a version which is now released! Please download the new version of SqueezeCenter (formerly SlimServer) at http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html If you are still seeing this bug, please re-open it and we will consider it for a future release.
I'm still seeing this at least 1/2 the time that I play music from the library after using Slacker.
Can you get some plugin.slacker debug for when this occurs? You should see log entries like "Saving existing repeat value" and "Stopped Slacker, restoring old repeat setting".
Alan notes there won't be any of this forcing repeat mode in 7.2
Slacker still not converted to new-streaming. Until it is then this won't be fixed.
This will not get fixed until the Slacker protocol handler gets rewritten, which is most unlikely before 7.4.
No idea if this is still valid. Haven't used Slacker in years.
