I wonder if anyone can help me with an issue I've had for some time with
TitleSwitcher on my SB3s. I have created a format called "TOPLINE" to
rotate various track info and which is referenced in MusicInfoSCR as
"TITLESWITCHERTOPLINE" for the top line of the display. This used to
work perfectly, but recently it is hit and miss.
Around 50% of the time I see the correct info rotated as defined in my
TitleSwitcher format. The rest of the time though, I just see the
string "TITLESWITCHERTOPLINE". It's as if MusicInfoSCR has forgotten to
treat this as a special case. This isn't dependant on what is being
played. Often I will play some music with the display working
perfectly, and then later the same song selection will fail to display
the info correctly. I've also known it to be in "stopped" mode wrongly
displaying "TITLESWITCHERTOPLINE" for a period of time and then correct
itself after a number of minutes / hours with no input from me.
I'm on the latest release (7.6.1) on Windows (WHS), but this has been
flaky for a few releases / months now. The same thing happens on all my
SB3's.
For further info, my TOPLINE format is defined as:
Code:
--------------------
ALBUM:4 ,PLAYTIME / SONGTIME Track X_OF_Y ,ARTIST:4
--------------------
I turned on full logging for TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoSCR, and I
think this is shows the point it went from not working to working
Code:

Any thoughts / suggestions will be gratefully received!
