I don't know if this is helpful or if I'm barking up the wrong tree but here goes:
I use the Music Information Screen (v4.3.7) screen saver which I've configured to display PLAYTIME_ALWAYS / SONGTIME in the corner of my display. I've noticed that the first time I listen to any stream, SONGTIME is displayed as 00:00. But if I stop it and restart, the correct time (the total length of the stream) is displayed - in my case 2:01:00. This is true even if I've only listened for a very short time (<1 second). The difference is that MIS is corrected after the second connection whereas the iPlayer plugin always stops at the same point if left uninterrupted. It's as though something isn't picking up the correct total stream time and defaulting to a value of 587136 at which point it stops playing even though the stream is still flowing. As I see it, there are 2 ways to fix this: 1. Change the default threshold to a much larger value so that most fixed-length streams will always play all the way through - a bit of a kludge but might be easy 2. Find a way of querying the total length of the stream the first time it is accessed or perform 2 passes - the first one to gather info and the second one to actually play the stream Hope this helps, Cheers, John -- jwedwards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jwedwards's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22801 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
