Description John Scudder 2008-09-07 11:57:18 UTC

I currently am having a problem where each time a new track starts playing the playback volume drops to zero. When I tap volume up or down on the remote (or Controller) the volume jumps back to where I left it. It's as though the player has to be reminded each time that yes, I really did want to hear the sound.

The setup: SC 7.2 running on a Mac, four sync'd players (two SB2s hardwired and two Receivers on WiFi). Volume is sync'd on three of the players at the moment, and I observe the problem on one of the sync'd players -- but I also observed this when it wasn't sync'd.  I've observed this problem on both an SB2 and a Receiver.

I can currently reproduce the problem pretty easily.

John: Please turn DEBUG on the following, then attach a clean log to this bug:

control.command
player.jive
player.sync
player.ui
prefs

Lamentably I can't reproduce the bug now.  I did restart SqueezeCenter since filing the bug.  I've got the logging turned up per your request and I'll update the bug report with the log info once I manage to reproduce it.

Comment 3 John Scudder 2008-09-13 15:31:45 UTC

By the way, can you say what you mean by "a clean log"?  I assume we're just talking about the logfile -- and since it tends to grow very very large with all the debug turned up, probably just the last 10,000 lines of it or something?

Comment 4 James Richardson 2008-09-17 06:42:59 UTC

John:  By way of explanation..yes the last 10k lines or so would work :) 

Are you able to reproduce it any more? or was it a 1-2 time thing.  I tested it here, and was unable to reproduce it in either Windows or MAC environments.

Comment 5 John Scudder 2008-09-17 07:25:46 UTC

I haven't been able to reproduce it, but I haven't had time to try extensively.  For a few days, it happened very consistently.  Around that time I was tinkering pretty heavily with my SqueezeCenter configuration, so I suspect that I changed some setting that affected the problem; either that or restarting SC somehow cleared it.  

I'm hoping to have time to tinker with my SC config to see if I can reproduce the problem this weekend.
