Odd?
The metadata is a nightmare and would be simpler not to show it. The problem with on air text is that it is synced with timecode of the last packet sent from LMS. I can't tell which packet is actually being played by the player and the amount of data in player can vary accoring to BufferThreshold setting and whether there have been "slow packets". If the player has a native feedback it could have a 2-5 min buffer depending on the data rate of the AAC stream and the buffer Threshold setting. If the stream has been transcoded to Flac there can be perhaps between 30secs to 2mins. It gets worse if user pauses the stream - some short pauses are handled by LMS - when they get a bit long LMS stops the streams. After a paused stream is resumed - the timecode of the playing packet is not realtime. Furthermore the Live metadata for the stream from BBC if often no longer available if pause is too long (long is also undefined). So for 1.5.x I didn't make any changes to metadata until rebuffering solution have been settled why waste time rewriting code if the "live delay" solution didn't work for all. I think it is "good" enough for beta. Once rebuffering problem is managed I can look at tweaking metadata delays. LMS Delays display of in stream icy metadata by a calcualtion on the bit rate of the stream but you will see the same effect of metadata out of sync just not to the same extent. No problem with delays as metatdata is instream close to audio data to which it refers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
