Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicInfoScrn - Music Information Screen: why always crashing after scan?
Hi Michael, I have found a way to consistently break the MusicInfoScrn to result in the overlay-text behavior described earlier. With the player stopped and screensaver on, if I use SBS to clear the current playlist, the display will be garbled/have overlay text. I'm using the latest nightly build 7.6. -- SamS SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83514 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I did a SBS reboot, and updated to the latest nightly. Upon it coming back up, all displays looked OK. So, I guess it is truly random in nature.

Michael, I'm running the nightly from yesterday.. not the newest one available right this minute, but the previous night. Don't recall the R number as I'm not at home now. Is there anything I can do to reset the plugin? If you update your MIS plugin, maybe my SBS will grab the newest one, even though it's the same as what I manually installed?

Maybe I should unplug the Transporter and let it reboot, even though this happened when it took 85. -- SamS SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83514 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Michael, One more bug, I think. For the Transporter, I can never get anything to display in the second screen, while OFF. For example, if I select CURRTIME for both first and second displays, it only shows on the left display. When the device is ON, I can use and configure the Second (right) display like normal.

No, if the device is powered off and there's no track in the queue, SBS
formatting code will return nothing (''). The plugin now works around this
by calling some select formats directly in this particular case.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicInfoScrn - Music Information Screen: why always crashing after scan?
Michael, I believe you fixed it! I installed the updated plugin, then did a rescan. This doesn't always trigger the problem, so I did an install of the latest nightly build. I do believe this would always cause the failure. Latest nightly installed and no problems with the displays. Can you elaborate a bit more on the fix? When the error occurred, it was after a reboot/reinstall of SBS, so instead of the devices showing the MIS Power Off screensaver, they just had the "Now Playing/Nothing" display.

Michael, Yes, I use MIS in power off mode. In fact, after a scan is run, the Squeezeboxes shut down, and this is the time I see the display error. I'm running the nightly 7.6 from a few days ago, although this behavior has occured pre 7.5.

If so: I've added some new code to cover this particular case. I would be happy if you could test it before I release it. Please uninstall your currently installed version of MIS, download http://www.herger.net/_data/MusicInfoSCR-4.4.8.zip and unzip it into your SBS' Plugins folder. Background: the formatting methods in SBS only work if a track object is defined. Even simple stuff like CURRTIME. I've added a few lines to discover this case and call a few select formats (CURRTIME, LONGDATE, SHORTDATE) directly if needed. -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicInfoScrn - Music Information Screen: why always crashing after scan?
Hi, I have a problem that has been bugging me for the longest time. I really like the MusicInfoScrn plugin, as my SB3, Transporter and Boom do get a lot of use. After every scan, the MusicInfoScrn plugin always gets 'stuck' with text of Nothing/Now Playing on the VFD. This is always overlapping text, like the plugin info is on top of of the normal Squeezebox display information. The only way for me to clear this, is to turn on each player, pick a selection from My Music, and let it play for at least one second. Then I can turn off the player, and the screen-saver (time) and MusicInfoScrn functionality works as expected. I'm running 7.6, but this has happened for as long as I can recall. -- SamS SamS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9261 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83514 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
