(All tracks are on a NAS system.)
7.9 has a new feature which allows to play tracks which are not stored in the database, and won't be stored there either. Eg. you want to check out some stuff from a USB stick, but don't want LMS to add it to your library. Now if MusicIP returned a file path which LMS didn't know yet (for whatever reason), that track can be played through the use of the tmp:// protocol handler (I called them "Volatile tracks" :-)) without adding it to the library. One more reason might be if you did run a full wipe & rescan: previously LMS would wipe the current playlist (as the tracks are no longer available in the wiped database) and stop playback. That sucked. Therefore LMS 7.9 now converts all tracks in the current playlist to volatile tracks to allow continuation of the music while the library is re-built. Therefore yes, I would suggest you allow your plugin to treat such file similarly to regular file:// entries. FWIW: this has been in 7.9 for several months. It's not a recent change :-) Michael http://www.herger.net/slim-plugins - MusicArtistInfo, MusicInfoSCR, Smart Mix ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mherger's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104274 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
