Bugzilla – Bug 9849
Now playing stops working
Last modified: 2009-01-21 16:42:47 UTC
I think this is different from bug_9315. After a while, on my SB3, the now playing display fails in one or both of these ways: 1. No title - just blank. 2. elapsed time stops advancing. Restart of squeezecenter clears the problem. I am running MusicInfSCR, but I don't think thats the problem. The first time it happened, I changed the display setting to use now playing and the problem remained. 7.2.1 - 23736
I've turned off MusicInfoSCR. Any debug settings I should enable?
bug 9315 maybe the same. are you using the Random Play plugin? 1) what content you are streaming 2) what screen saver you have enabled on the player 3) does this happen if the controller is docked (in charger) our out (if you use a controller) 4) does this happen on SqueezeCenter ONLY, or also on SqueezeNetwork (please test on SN to see if you have the same issue) 5) please describe any steps you take to reproduce this issue so we can figure it out here
This is an SB3 issue, not a controller issue. I've seen it fail on both live internet radio and mp3 tracks from my library. Since restarting squeezecenter fixes it, I'm suspecting squeezecenter, which is why i asked if setting any debug options would be helpful. I never use squeezenetwork, don't really know how. I can't reproduce it, it just happens. I'll try to gather more facts the next time it happens - I don't expect you to be able to reproduce it yet. Settings for player are: Title format: NoDisc-Tracknum Title Now Playing Information: Elapsed Time Screensaver when playing: Now Playing Screensaver when stopped: None Screensaver when off: Date and Time Screensaver delay: 10 Play other songs on album: Play other songs in album or directory
Andy: any comments? Marc: make sure your all 3rd party plug-in's are disabled when you try to repo this issue.
*** Bug 9991 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
To update - I haven't seen this since turning MusicInfoSRC off. But my SB3 use it pretty limitted these days - mostly either an internet radio stream or synced with my duet. So I'm not sure its gone.
Micheal: this looks like a plug-in error for MusicInfoSRC
I haven' seen this in a while. I'd suggest we close it unless others are still seeing it.
Marc - please contact me in the forums if you can still reproduce this issue with the latest version of the plugin.
