It comes encapsulated as "browselibrary items 0 100 menu:browselibrary item_id:x.y.z" commands. First of all, there is no documentation for the "browselibrary" command but more importantly, it could be anything from a folder to an album to a genre, it's completely opaque and only the server knows what to make out of this. Compared to that using "musicfolder 0 100 folder_id:x.y" I do know what I am asking for and there is documentation for what it returns. Now the problem is that on some systems, playing the same folder with "playlistcontrol cmd:load folder_id:x.y.z" Does result in stuttering playback (it keeps stuttering, it's not just slow at startup but on these systems it will stay unstable even when playing for half an hour or so) or even no playback at all while "browselibrary playlist play item_id:x.y.z" works just fine. But whatever "browselibrary playlist play item_id:x.y.z" does is completely opaque and I also can't use the "browselibrary" structure to e.g. show artwork because I never know what a returned item is. It's undocumented and useless as a command, it can only be used to retrieve another menu level with the same logic, all logic is hidden somewhere in the server code. > > I added two lines to give the streaming a bit more air to breathe while > > the BMF code is running.

You could completely shut down the controller App and not browse anything, it would still stutter or break off. Must be something with the current playlist handling or some lookup during playback itself. > > Tracks with cue sheets? This has been mentioned elsewhere.

I suspect the database integrity was somehow not in order because the user never did rescans. But when he opens a folder with newly added music, the new tracks show up but when he plays the folder they don't play, only the ones that had already been there before. Even when playing the newly added track through the context menu it didn't play. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 7, the Universal App for iOS 7* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101248 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
