Bugzilla – Bug 7364
Pandora/Slacker display incorrect song info after playing for a bit
Last modified: 2008-12-15 13:01:17 UTC
Pandora does not display the proper information on the SB3 of what is playing. Dan asked me to open this bug as he had a customer with this issue. Customer stated that the information does not always match what is playing.
Reproduce with SC7 and get a plugin.pandora log.
Customer does not use SC.
I have seen this. I will see if it can be reproduced on SC 7 so I can get the logs, otherwise I will coordinate with Andy so he can follow along from his end.
ping me
I suppose I need to listen to music that I recognize in order to reproduce this.
Re-targetting SN 7.0.1 bugs to ABBA release.
The same problem is also happening on Slacker. I have a SB3 and primarily listen to Slacker or Pandora over the SqueezeNetwork. “Now Playing” is consistently one to five songs behind what is actually playing on either Slacker or Pandora. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. I updated the firmware today (3/19/08) but still having the problem.

Could someone else in QA keep an eye out for this at some point this week? For some reason I can't get to Pandora from where I am :)
The firmware version of my Squeezebox is 86. In about 50% of the cases the title shown in Pandora is not renewed at the beginning of the next song, occasionally it hangs up for two, three ore more times. This refers only to the text, not to the indication of time played or time left and not to the progress bar. Sometimes Pandora starts already showing a wrong title. At the point of change to another song sometimes the next title is correct, sometimes not. One main question is, if transmitting "thumb up/down" is combined with the song played or with the (wrong) title shown.
I can't reproduce this with SC7, but I can on Squeeze Network. I'm seeing it right now (5:04pm) my SB2 (00 04 20 05 CA C7) is showing Rats in the hallway by Rancid, which played a few minutes ago, but now it sounds more like the Ataris, definitely not still playing Rancid. Andy with this suffice?
So nobody has seen this with SC7?
Ross: Can you re-test with SC 7.0 & 7.0.1, provide a log file if you see the error happen.
I sure can try it again, James. However I should repeat I have *not* been able to reproduce with SC7.
Also OS: Vista Note: song id will slip, then correct at the end of a few songs, then eventually slip again.
(In reply to comment #15) > Also OS: Vista > Note: song id will slip, then correct at the end of a few songs, then > eventually slip again. Have you seen this on SqueezeCenter ? or only when attached to SqueezeNetwork? If you have seen this on SC, please turn on DEBUG logging for plugin.pandora OR plugin.slacker (which ever you see the error on) then attach the log file to this bug. State the ~time the error occured in the log as it will be quite long.
Pandora is accessed through SqueezeNetwork, only
The title delay started happening while listening to pandora on my sb3 after the last firmware update. Pandora is all about new music and it is a shame the titles don't update. thanks for your support! -c
Investigation seems to indicate this is related to bad network conditions. James thinks he may be able to reproduce.
I've just started using Pandora today and have seen this immediately and frequently (now playing info getting unsynched for a few songs and then resynching. I don't see this behavior with Rhapsody, which I've been using about a month. I'm using a Duet and Squeezenetwork 7.0.1, and just updated the software yesterday (4/25).
I should add that I've just tried using Pandora with Sqeezenetwork, no squeezecenter.
I made a change last night that I didn't think would affect this bug, but I can't seem to reproduce it anymore. Can you guys let me know if you're still seeing this? Chances are as soon as I post this it will happen to me though. :)
OK I was wrong, it was not happening to me because I had crossfading enabled on this player. Turning off crossfade caused the problem to come back. Getting somewhere at least...
I think I've found the root cause of this bug, and it has been fixed. This bug affected Pandora, Slacker, and Rhapsody Radio. Fix is rolling out to SN over the next hour.
Unable to replicate this issue with Andy's latest fixes. Closing this bug now. If anyone experiences the bug again, please make sure you do NOT have the Now Playing screen saver on, as that's another bug 7888
I noticed over the weekend, that this bug has come back. Rhapsody is consistently behind by 1 song, after playing for a bit. I don't have a Pandora account to test with, and my Slacker account has expired. Please investigate
Slacker is free... Argh, I really thought I had fixed this one. :(
Anyone still seeing this?
Andy - I have a SB3 and listen to both Pandora and Slacker and the problem seems to be fixed since May/June timeframe. I don't listen to Rhapsody.
Using 7.1-22170 I am again unable to reproduce this error with our without the Now Playing screen saver. Marking it fixed again until someone else has the issue.
This bug has been fixed in the latest release of SqueezeNetwork! If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
