It was a stupid bug that stopped it working.
But this is essentially how you do it : - You have a protocol handler with a getMetaDataFor (which is a static method) that provides the metatdata for the url of the track that needs to play. - You have code in the non static methods that places the meta data on the current "song" for an instance of the protocol handler - If the url is currently playing the getMetaDataFor returns the metadata from the "song" that the client is currently playing - If the url is not playing (in the playlist) the method goes off and gets the metadata for the url and puts it in the cache for a day (so it doesn't need to bother the external API again) - From then on when getMetaDataFor is called for an Url that is not playing it gets it from the cache (until the next day) This it the branch with the fix in, see getMetaDataFor in there : https://github.com/expectingtofly/LMS_BBC_Sounds_Plugin/blob/2.6fixes/BBCSounds/ProtocolHandler.pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ expectingtofly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63263 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113045 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
