I use the TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen plugins to switch display every 15 seconds between
TITLE (ARTIST) and GROUPING (COMPOSER) i.e. for example "Molto vivace (Leonard Bernstein)" and "Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven, Ludwig van)" GROUPING is a tag scanned with the CustomScan plugin in which I store the work title for classical music. For non-classical music GROUPING and COMPOSER are empty since I set the composer only for classical music. Since the TitleSwitcher plugin does only switch display if the used tags are not empty, the result is that for non-classical music the display of my squeezbox always shows TITLE (ARTIST) while the switching described above takes place only for classical music. For me that is a perfect solution that takes into account that for classical music composer, artist, work, and movement (which is stored in TITLE) should be displayed while for non-classical music only artist and track title should be displayed. This worked perfectly with SC 7.3 for all kind of music sources. In 7.4 it works only correctly for music from my local library but it does not work correctly for music from internet radios and last.fm. For example, when I hear music from last.fm the display switches between TITLE (ARTIST) and TITLE If you look into the enclosed server.log it seems that the MusicInfoScreen plugin has problems with the COMPOSER tag which is not set for the last.fm music (although there are no problems with my own non-classical music for which this tag is also not set). Same problem happens with internet radio. For example, if I hear radio station Bayern 3 the display switches between Top-40 Pop (Bayern 3 97,3) and Top-40 Pop Note that "Top-40 Pop" is always the contents of the TITLE tag and "Bayern 3 97,3" is the contents of the ARTIST tag for this radio station since the real artist names and titles are not transmitted. Of course the GROUPING and the COMPOSER tags are not set so it seems to be the same problem as with last.fm. I don't know if it is a problem with the TitleSwitcher or with the MusicInfoScreen plugin. But I know that it worked perfectly with SC 7.3 even for last.fm and internet radio. I enclose also screenshots from the settings for TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen. Erland and Michael, could you please look into this problem and check which plugin causes the problem? Thanks a lot for your efforts. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: MusicInfoScreen.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8495| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- dip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70061 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
