I have just upgraded from SlimServer 6.3.1 to 6.5.1 (v2007-01-15) and I am encountering strange behavior when I use URLs for some of the NPR programs such as "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered". I am invoking the URLs with the MyPicks plugin.
The normal behavior, which you see in 6.3.1 (and Windows Media Player), is to "expand" the URL into a list of URLs and then play them one after the other. Each entry in "Now Playing" displays the title of the news segment associated with the individual URL in the list. The new behavior in 6.5.1 is to create two identical tracks for each of the "expanded" URLs and to display the text string from the XML in "My Picks" for the orignal URL instead of the title for that track. For example, the following entry from my "My Picks" XML: <outline URL="http://www.npr.org/dmg/dmg.php?prgCode=ME&showDate=16-Jan-2007&segNum=&mediaPref=WM&getUnderwriting=1"; text="Morning Edition (16-Jan-2007)" type="audio" /> normally creates a list of 25 tracks. In SlimServer 6.5.1, a list of 50 tracks is created with a duplicate track for each of the expanded URLs. In addition, instead of the normal news segment title, the title: "Morning Edition (16-Jan-2007)" is displayed for each entry in the list. Other than this odd behavior, everthing else appears to be normal such as the audio and the switching between tracks. I thought this issue might be particular to my machine since nobody seems to have complained about it, but this behavior also occurs on SqueezeNetwork. Unfortunately, I don't know when the problem began on SN. It used to work properly at some time in the past. I'm running on Windows XP SP2. I'd love to see this fixed! -- Delphi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Delphi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9697 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31791 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
