Bugzilla – Bug 6539
Sync via player UI breaks sometimes
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:12:53 UTC
Play around with syncing/unsyncing 2 players using the player UI. Sometimes it will fail, I've seen it fail 2 different ways: After syncing: Slim::Player::Source::readNextChunk (2328) 00:04:20:10:01:6a: No filehandle to read from, returning no chunk. On this line in Source.pm, streamformat was undef: if ($client->streamBytes() == 0 && $client->masterOrSelf->streamformat() eq 'mp3') { I also see duplicate player names listed in the "can sync with" list in the player UI.
What kind of source were you streaming when streamformat was undef?
Don't remember, actually this problem may have been caused by the bad patch in bug 6528.
I doubt that the bad patch was (or should have been responsible) as it would just have reversed the sense of the sync association (master/slave). It should still have worked.
It is not just with the player-UI. Basically, if the new slave is already playing, then these kinds of effects can happen. Change 16147 fixes these specific errors but there is still a need to agree the correct semantics in some cases.
