Spotify call them "Mott The Hoople" so I now have them both in my
Artists list. One day I might get around to fixing the tags. I have no
idea why I chose the lower case "the".

It's what I do too, I'm frequently editing tags as and when I notice
errors that affect the behaviour of my music library.

Setting a playlist or favourite album as an alarm does not play well
with synced players when one of the players is initially off.

It jumps to the last track and stops when the synced radio is turned on.

I then tried playing a random song mix normally and when the
synchronised Radio was turned on playback continued normally after a
short interruption. The interruption was even shorter than when I tried
a radio station so there is something odd happening when random mix is
used as an alarm combined with synced players.

As slartibartfast says - alarms are special.  Some interaction at the
controls can be interpreted as "alarm cancel".  As a result of
complaints of alarm users sleeping in when internet radio stream broke
down,-  interruptions from the playing side will be reattempted first
(so sometime a very quick cancel does not work as stream is reconnected

As syncing is core - you might check variations to see if result is more
acceptable.
- check does changing which player is master help
- use Group Players plugin

Re: [slim] music stops when on synced radio starts up

2020-06-19 Thread teebee


so since the alarm starts a new random song playlist it took some time
for it to start. was a bit slow to get out of bed today, but when I
turned on the second radio the music stopped and default alarm terror
started. when I checked the playlist on bathroom radio it said stop on
13 out of 13 song in playlist. so why is this happening to the playlist,
it should be going on forever? I hit the random song on bathroom radio
and both radio was playing, turned of the bathroom radio and turned it
on again and both was playing like they should.
