Re: [slim] Fast forward/rewind on duet, with latest firmware and 7.1
Pretty sure WMA seeking is disabled in the UI in 7.2. WMA is such a crappy format that seeking is actually a lot more difficult that you would think. I tried to implement it once but had to give up. Hope to be able to do it at some point though. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Fast forward/rewind on duet, with latest firmware and 7.1
Andy, Thanks for this clear answer. Shouldn't it be clearly stated in some documentation then? And the functionality disabled in the UI. The current behavior is quite erratic... Also: What formats are actually supported, then? The information available is quite sketchy and conflictual. Is there a plan to support WMA seek is in the reasonably near term? -- Alain. andyg;333041 Wrote: > Seeking in WMA is not supported, sorry. -- aporret aporret's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19589 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Fast forward/rewind on duet, with latest firmware and 7.1
When the Song Position display appears, let go of the FF/RW button and use the scroll wheel to change the track position. That's how it works for me (using the vanilla 7.1 release). Considerably better than the old 2-4-8x speedup, which I could never get to work properly. I think I read the instructions either in the Release Notes for 7.1 or in something that was linked from them. I wonder how many more UI tricks I'm missing; must have a good rummage through the wiki again sometime... -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Fast forward/rewind on duet, with latest firmware and 7.1
I recently installed a duet and two servers, one running on a ReadyNAS NV+, the other on a vista PC (both show the same behavior). Brand new install of 7.1, with the controller firmware updated to the latest. I am using WMA VBR (about 130kbps) files. Whatever I do, I cannot move inside a track using fast forward/backward buttons. Moreover, there is no (real) documentation anywhere of how it is supposed to work! Some thread refer to an old way of scanning, going 2x, 4x, 8x the speed, but the latest version seems to work completely differently on the controller (you can apparently use the wheel to move inside the track). In my case, I press FF on the controller, and hold it until the "Song position" windows appears, with a slider for the current position. If I continue holding it, nothing happens. If I release the button, and press it again, the slider moves (although the track continues to play without interruption). When I release the FF button, the player would skip to the beginning of the next track. If I move again within the track (FW or RW), it will skip to the beginning of another track... And the time counter get screwed from time to time (showing negative time position, etc...). According to the FAQ #5995, seeking within a track is supported for "WMA CBR and WMA VBR"... According to the bug tracker entries, the "seek" function seems just not to work. Plenty of other people reported the same or similar issues. Which is it? Frankly, not supporting correctly such a basic functionality is quite unacceptable (any dirty cheap portable MP3 player can do that properly; no excuses!). -- aporret aporret's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19589 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
