Yeah, I know. I did consider adding a menu to the sub-toolbar - but just looked too noisy. I could leave the items always in the menu, but disabled when not appropriate. Just not sure. I needed to free up some space for the sub-toolbar text, and this seemed the most logical way. slartibartfast wrote: > I am more concerned about the 15 to 30 second delay in displaying images > for Radio Paradise after the last update. Material uses LMS's cometd for status updates, as do most other controllers (AFAIK). These status updates have the song's metadata (artist, title, etc), playback status (state, duration, position), and the cover URL. Material uses what is called a long-poll HTTP connection. This connection stays open for 30 seconds. If a playback change happens in that 30 seconds, cometed is supposed to return the status. If nothing happens, the latest status is returned. This process is then repeated. So, it looks like one satus update had the song's meta-data, but not its correct playback state or cover URL. When the 30 seconds expired, the status at the end of this had the correct info. I have seen issues with LMS's cometd not reporting changes quickly enough. In the developers forum I reported that a queue filled with 2 second tracks can miss updates- but had no replies. I added code to poll near the start, and end, of a track to work around this. I have no idea why you seem to be consistently experiencing this. Does it *always* happen? Does it happen for all RP stations? I must admit I'm pretty new to RP, and have only used the "Interactive FLAC" stream on the Main-Mix. Does it happen to you on this stream? Does it a happen elsewhere (e.g. local playback, Spotty, non-RP streams)? If you want to see Meterial's cometd interaction, start Material using -http://SERVER:9000/material/desktop?debug=cometd- and cometed status updates will be shown in the console tab of your browser's developer tools. If you do this, do you see a player status update at the time a song changes, but the display has not updated correctly? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cpd73's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
