Aha - your Squeezboxes are synced. And you are looking at the progess-bar of a Squeezebox that is not playing anything (because it is turned off) but still synced.
So this explains a) why the progress isn't running continously => because the playback is stopped for this particular Squeezebox b) why the progress still jumps => because the Squeezebox is synced and the server still updates the progress from time to time, anticipating that you might turn on your Squeezebox later on and expect it to show the same state as the running Squeezebox. 60 seconds is the maximum status update interval for a Squeezebox. As the Squeezebox is turned off, the server has no other events that might update the status with a faster rate. There is only the regular 60s 'keep alive' status update (which then abruptly changes the progress because of the synchronization). The only 'proper' way to handle this (avoiding the jumps for turned off and synced Squeezeboxes) is just to have a big 'this Squeezebox is turned off' banner, not rendering cover image, playlist and current state. (Like on a real Squeezebox one only sees the 'off' screensaver just with a clock - so on a real Squeezebox one would not realize as well, that the progress is kept in sync every 60 seconds behind the scenes) Unfortunately this comes at a cost: right now one can start a song even if a Squeezebox is turned off. Interesting case indeed. But I don't think that I can change that behaviour. I guess when you turn one Squeezebox off you should just switch back to your still playing Squeezebox in SqueezePad to see a running progess bar. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.x) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80553 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
