Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not show artwork from radio stream when using playlists
It seems I found out what is causing the issue.
The original radio station that has issues with artwork/titles:
1.FM Classic Rock
Code:
http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s116726=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmvoice,hls=16=5cb2c26d64f04c89f1b4c05e6357be69
When this station is in the playlist it works/plays fine - artwork and
titles are displayed correctly.
However, when I add to the playlist
Rock Max
Code:
http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s24937=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmvoice,hls=16=2a022dd1b739b562eb0e8a962297a025=s
the artwork/titles of the currently playing (1.FM Classic Rock)
changes.
To reproduce the issue it is enough to browse to a playlist containing
this station (Rock Max).

Yes, it seems to be something related to Radiotime streams.
Regarding radios in the playlist ("unintended use"):
I really see no reason why playlist should not contain radio stations.
It is an item in the list and you can easily switch between stations in
the list.
I mainly use my own streamer based on LMS and the communication is based
on CLI.
So I send commands
Code:
playlist index -1
or
Code:
playlist index +1
to switch between stations in the playlist.
No clue how to switch to the previous/next item in some favorites folder
via CLI.
If anybody (maybe d6jg) knows how to do it, please let me know.
Thanks for help.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not show artwork from radio stream when using playlists
Well, I see no reason to change the display of the currently played station (i.e. artwork, title, artist) just because I'm browsing the playlists. I also see no reason to display different data for the same station depending from where it was started playing. I can't use folders as it is not possible to load such folder as a playlist via CLI. I really don't see a reason why not to put radio stations in a playlist so you can easily change them through the playlist with the PREV/NEXT buttons. funa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23487 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117286 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not show artwork from radio stream when using playlists
Hello, I experience a very strange and annoying issue with Logitech Media Server. Using version 8.3.1. The issue is with CLI and web interface. I'll describe it using the web interface. The problem is that LMS does not show song artwork and artist/title info as sent by the stream when the station is played from a playlist. I'm using playlists to group similar stations together. Using this radio station for testing: 1.FM Classic Rock http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s116726=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmvoice,hls=16=5cb2c26d64f04c89f1b4c05e6357be69 When the radio station is saved as a favorite and played from the favorite list the artwork, artist and the title are correctly displayed - see screenshot lms-1. Code: /imageproxy/http%3A%2F%2Fcdn-albums.tunein.com%2Fgn%2FDC79P2T6ZGg.jpg/image_500x500_p.jpg However, when the radio station is played from the playlist, instead of the current song artwork as sent by the stream, the station logo is shown: Code: https://cdn-radiotime-logos.tunein.com/s116726q.png It is even weirder as the display changes as soon as you start browsing playlists - you don't have to change anything. For example, when I navigate to the playlist where this radio is stored (e.g. *Home > Playlists > 5*) LMS changes the display of the currently played song - see screenshot lms-2. BTW the station name in the playlist is wrong - I can't change it, see not below. Of course, the same station url is stored in the Favorites and in the Playlist 5. And when I press play for this station in the playlist, the artist and the title get updated to the right data, however, the artwork remains station logo - see screenshot lms-3. Sometimes also the title and artist are not displayed properly. The title changes to "Title - Artist' format and artist shows the station name. To me this seems like a bug. As a side note there is another issue. It is impossible to edit station name in the playlist. When I click on the Edit icon the fields for name and url are displayed, however, the name is not saved. +---+ |Filename: lms-3.png| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39558| +---+ I love 'John Lennon Music' (http://johnlennonmusic.net/) funa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23487 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117286 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
