Hmm... this is odd, as I don't bother about that tag. I simply pass the  
format string to slimserver's infoFormat() function. All the parsing is  
done in there. I guess you'd see similar issues with many other format  
that do not exist in radio streams (like eg. genre, FILE.EXT etc.).

Hello,

i have one 'problem' with the MusicInfo Plugin. When i want to display
the Year with (YEAR), i see '(0)' for songs without this information in
the tag and for radio streams. I don't see this in the standard
'Playing' Screensaver. Is there a possibility the prevent the '(0)'. I
would like to see nothing, if there is no Year information. I have
searched in the forum, but i have not found anything regarding this
'problem'.

If I change line 64 to this instead everything works

Can you add a leading whitespace character to the -right- strings, to
stop the -left- strings running into them?


I'll have a look at it next week. I'm off for the week end.


(It doesn't seem to like _PLAYTIME at all BTW)

If you just automatically formated the left display strings with a
space on the front, it wouldn't have any adverse affect on anything
else would it?  And it would ensure that the left and right strings
didn't run into each other.

Michael,

Would it be possible to add a whitespace character in front of the
bottom left / top left strings?  At the moment, if you have a long
title line on the right, it runs into the text on the left with no
break at all - which makes it a bit difficult to read.

Since you can't reproduce it maybe there is something with my setup
that is causing this. I could try to find some time to debug it later

If the screen saver is activated when I clear the playlist the messages
starts immediately, if not they will start as soon as the playlist is
activated next time. If I restart slimserver directly after this it
will restart and then as soon as the playlist is activated the error
messages starts again.

I am using the official 6.5.0 release and I am clearing the playlist by
clicking on the Clear link in the playlist window in the web interface.

Its also set as screen saver when playing, but that isn't a problem
since the playlist never will be empty when its playing something.

I can reproduce the problem by:
1. Clear the current playlist from the web  interface
2. Restart slimserver (isn't actually needed, but I did it to make sure
it wasn't caused by anything else)
3. Wait for the screen saver to activate
The result is that after step 3 I get a uninitialized message every
second.


MusicInfoSCR is set as screensaver while not playing?


I downloaded the newest version a few minutes ago and the problem is
repeatable in that version.


Same line?

Theoretically there's a check whether the playlist is empty or not. But I  
guess in some modes that check doesn't work.

The result is that after step 3 I get a uninitialized message every
second.

If I after this starts playing a song the problem dissapears and then
if I pause the song it still works correctly, but if I clear the
playlist again the error message is logged again every second.

I downloaded the newest version a few minutes ago and the problem is
repeatable in that version. I guess this is 2.99.3, the Plugin.pm
history info says 3.00 though. I have also tried to remove the
whitelist in case that caused the problem but it does not seem to make
any difference, the problem is still there with not whitelist entires.

How big a task would it be to allow both lines to scroll?

Michael's MusicInfo plugin is great, but depending on the display
option I choose, there's always an album title, track title or artist
name that's too long for the top row. If this row could also scroll it
would be the icing on an already very tasty cake for me.

Here's hoping.

I hadn't bothered using this plugin before as I was pretty happy with
the default options (or thought I was!) but installed it to make better
use of the second screen on the transporter. No problems with that -
works fine - but now I'm trying it out on the SBs as well and I have a
couple of questions. 

1) I can't get the new volume control to work - it just shows a blank
screen with "VOLUME" written at the top left. Do I need to do something
else? The font files are in the plugin directory and seem valid.
2) Is it possible to make the top line information scroll? I want to
have  but a long album title (and I have
a lot of long ones!) squashes the progress bar to nothing, and in some
cases is truncated. Would it be possible to have the album title scroll
to give the things on the right hand side a little more breathing room?

Am I missing the point?


Or me?

MusicInfoSCR lets you display many different pieces of information not  
available in the stock screensaver. This is displayed while the music is  
playing.


The "Now Playing" mode should probable rather be called "current playlist"  
mode: this is the mode where you can scroll through the playlist of queued  
(and already played) songs. Here again you can display more information  
than in the stock display.


Using the screensaver settings for the playlist mode seems redundant at  
first. But the difference is that the screensaver will always display the  
currently playing song, while in the playlist you can display other songs  
as well.


If this didn't explain what you were missing, than I am missing your point  
:-)

In fact PLAYTIME was broken for all display modes.


Of course you can't display a progress bar in huge mode - and your
code, as I've read it in past versions, recognizes that and refuses to
try.


Well spotted :-). Last night I removed that code as PLAYTIME now displays  
the time only. PLAYTIME_PROGRESS will display that bar - though this is  
really weird in large font mode. I still haven't found out what's wrong  
there.

TRACKSTATRATINGSTATIC will be converted to 10 characters.
There is no extra padding after these 10 characters. In your sample
above the padding is done inbetween the (), but I have a lot of free
space after the ) character on my display.
I'm running this with SoftSqeeze 3.0, I have not tested if it works
different on a real SqueezeBox.

I also get this when I press play, however TrackStat still seems to
work so for now you can just ignore it. If you enable debugging in the
bottom of the TrackStat settings page you will get messages like the
following every time TrackStat returns a new value for the
TRACKSTATRATINGSTATIC title format. There is no caching in the current

2006-09-28 Thread Michael Herger

In the beginning I got a lot of entries like the following in the log:
2006-09-29 05:03:17.2191 Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==)

[..]

size. I suspect that you just need to set a default value to the font
size properties at startup if they aren't already set.


Thanks for the report. Yes, I've been lazy so far, haven't updated the  
initialization of all the variables yet.



I just have a small issue with the PLAYTIME_PROGRESS setting which I am
using at the top right position. The problem is that the progressbar
seems to shrink to almost zero length if the top left text takes up to
much space.


That's not a problem, that's by design :-)


It shouldn't have to shrink to zero size because there is
empty space between the top left and top right information.


Now that's not. I just gave your plugin a try (on my SliMP3 :-)). You seem  
to be padding TRACKSTATRANTINGSTATIC (didn't find in your code, though.  
The following format:


PLAYING (X_OF_Y) (TRACKSTATRATINGSTATIC)

...results in (will have to fix the missing PLAYING)

PLAYING (1 aus 10) ( * *  )   -01:18

This is on a character display. I don't know how you do the padding, but  
this can result in the space taken up, therefore leaving nothing left for  
the progress bar.

The problem was solved by go into the settings page and set the font
sizes to some other value and then set them back to default slimserver
size. I suspect that you just need to set a default value to the font
size properties at startup if they aren't already set.

The whitelist functionallity now works great and the pause mode I had
problem with now also works correctly.

I just have a small issue with the PLAYTIME_PROGRESS setting which I am
using at the top right position. The problem is that the progressbar
seems to shrink to almost zero length if the top left text takes up to

tree pictures that shows the problem. I get noting in the log when
running with --d_plugins.

Thanks for all the feedback about MusicInfoSCR. I just uploaded version  
2.99.1 with the following changes:


- added font size option: define for every screen whether you want it in  
dual line or huge font mode, or whatever is set in SlimServer; on  
Transporter this can be different fonts for left/right screen
- added format tag whitelist; these tags will not be cached and thus  
updated at every display refresh

- improved stopped/paused behaviour in Now Playing mode

You'll find the file as always on

Have fun!

Yes - exactly as Michael says, with 6.5 you can mix fonts within a
screen component including custom font files which you have defined
yourself so you can include icons within screen components.

There's always that problem about ease vs. power: you can do anything in  
slimserver. But the plugin api just offers a sensible set of easy  
functionality.


Have a look at one of the plugins (eg. MusicMagic) to get an idea how to  
add settings to several places: use the plugin API's setupGroup for easy  
addition of one set of settings, Slim::Web::Setup::addGroup() for the  
others.

Ratings are changed by holding 0-5 down on the remote, this results in
a write operation towards the database, a call to showBriefly, a call
to Slim::Control::Request::notifyFromArray to send notification events
to CLI and other listeners and finally I also call
Slim::Music::Info::clearFormatDisplayCache() to clear the display
cache.

TrackStat implements tree title formats which makes it possible to show
the ratings on the SqueezeBox display:
TRACKSTATRATINGDYNAMIC
TRACKSTATRATINGSTATIC
TRACKSTATRATINGNUMBER

A configurable whitelist might solve the problem, a hardcoded whitelist
might be a little bit dangerous in case other plugins also implements
their own title format and want to use the functionallity.

which seems to do the trick.  IMHO, you may as well display the

I thought I'd handle it the same way the default mode does (less

Well I'd confirm this :-/. I thought it got confused by my numerous  
server restarts and reconnects during plugin development. Maybe we should  
open a bug. The only one related to Softsqueeze lockups I've found is when  
connecting to SQN:

Which I can confirm as well. This is the only reproducable way to lock it

No, this is not (yet?) possible.


I suspect that this is not going to be possible but it would be neat to
be able to have, say, the song title in a single large size line on the

one above the other.


This should (technically) be possible. As you noticed there are far too  
many options now (one reason why I had to re-arrange the setup page) if  
you're configuring a Tx or Softsqueeze. That's why I didn't investigate in  
even more possibilities. But I will anyway :-).


This morning, while cycling through the fog, I was dreaming about some  
AJAX magic where you could dynamically arrange tags on a grid...

Correct.


In screensaver mode this is

How do you change ratings? Do you add a format handler or something for  
these?


I was thinking about introducing some kind of whitelist of tags which  
should not get cached.



2. When I choose one of the "PLAYING (X_OF_Y)" modes it correctly
displays "Playing (1 of 3)", the problem is that if I press pause it
stops the song but it still says "Playing (1 of 3)".


Oh, I didn't think of this. Generally I'll have to improve display of the  
currently playing song in "Now Playing" list mode. It isn't always clear  
which song is the currently playing song. Triode's demo code did a better  
job here :-).

I am not sure if this message is related to the deadlock because I have
seen it in other situations also when it didn't deadlock.


This is normal debug output (you're running with d_plugins?) which should  
be displayed with almost any ARTIST or ALBUM tag. What other tags are you  
using in the Now Playing mode?


Thanks for the feedback!

When I pause a clip, the time switches from elapsed
to the size of the clip - or to zero if its a live stream.
I assume/hope this is a bug, not a feature.


It's a bug: PLAYTIME is replaced by SONGTIME in the Now Playing mode for  
the songs which are not currently playing. I'll have to add paused and  
stopped to the exception list (I turn off my SB when I don't want to  
listen to some music - never tested stopped/paused).



Again - thanks for his plugin.


I know I have stolen a few lines from Triode's CustomDisplay plugin, but  
still... may I consider this _my_ plugin? :-)

2006-09-27 Thread erland

I really love the new configurable Now Playing mode. I have some issues
with it though.

1. It seems to cache the information. The result is that when I change
a rating in TrackStat the titleformat containting the rating
information is not updated on the screen. In screensaver mode this is
solved in MusicInfoSCR by emptying its cache when the screensaver is
activated, but the same does not seem to work in now playing mode.

2. When I choose one of the "PLAYING (X_OF_Y)" modes it correctly
displays "Playing (1 of 3)", the problem is that if I press pause it
stops the song but it still says "Playing (1 of 3)". This might
actually be the same problem as 1 above, because after a number of
seconds when the screensaver is activated it correctly says "Paused -
Playing (1 of 3)".

3. It has locked the SoftSqueeze display/control a number of times, I
think it has always happend after a press on Play but I am not
completely sure. The last thing in the log when this happend last time
was:
2006-09-28 05:46:13.5535 MusicInfoSCR: empty artist/album?
'5WhitneyHoustonQueenoftheNight'
I am not sure if this message is related to the deadlock because I have
seen it in other situations also when it didn't deadlock. I have not
found any repeatable way to reproduce the deadlock. It has only happend
three times during 30 minutes of testing and changing settings and a
number a slimserver restarts.

Thanks again for the good work, I have to say that the "Now Playing"
mode will be a huge improvement for me.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: [Announce] MusicInfoSCR 2.99

2006-09-27 Thread Millwood

I love the integration with now playing.  I use MusicInfoSCR to get
playtime displayed in one line (huge size) mode on my SB3.  I used to
have to wait for the timeout, now I can press now playing.

But something has changed.  I display playtime, or in two line mode
playtime_progress.  When I pause a clip, the time switches from elapsed
to the size of the clip - or to zero if its a live stream.

I assume/hope this is a bug, not a feature.

Again - thanks for his plugin.
