Hi, Not sure where to post this whitebear question - so I hope I'm in the right place. I've installed whitebear and its working great....I'm using a upnp controlpoint client (my own). When playing network based music (i.e. mp3's etc..) the avtransport getpositioninfo returns all the lovely metadata info that I would want (track, artist, albumart url etc...)...but when playig streaming sources, such as Pandora or SiriusXm, most of the track metadata is missing...and yet SqueezeServer knows this info and return it via CLI/webpage etc... Is there any way to get this to work via WhiteBear> As a second question, my other use case would be to instruct a given player to Play Channel X on Pandora/SiriusXM etc... Thanks in advance. s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skavan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80632 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
