Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen on squeezeboxserver 7.4
Forgive me for hijacking this thread, but I'm trying to do exactly what the OP (dip) has done, but I can't understand how to set this up. What I would like to do is display TITLE (ARTIST) then switch to CONDUCTOR (COMPOSER) or something like that. I can't get my head around what I'm supposed to set up where to get this to work. Could someone (Erland perhaps) give me some pointers on how to do this? From what I can see, in Titleswitcher setup you can switch between single formats, such as ARTIST or TITLE, rather than groups of them. TIA!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen on squeezeboxserver 7.4
Thanks for such a prompt reply Erland. I've just tried giving this a go, and the problem I'm having is that if I put in a title format such as CONDUCTOR or COMPOSER in TitleSwitcher, they get rejected with the error Invalid format. I've tested that CONDUCTOR and COMPOSER can be used by SBS by specifying them as usable formats for the UI. Is there anything I should be doing to enable Titleswitcher to recognise them?

MusicInfoSCR has code like this in the Info.pm file:
Code:
if (Slim::Music::Info::isRemoteURL($song-url)) {
# work around https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14872
$formattedString =~ s/\b(?:COMPOSER|CONDUCTOR|BAND)\b//g;
}
This will remove the COMPOSER, CONDUCTOR and BAND keywords from
$formattedString for remote tracks.
I think you will need to do something similar in Title Switcher plugin,
probably somewhere before the call to
Plugins::MusicInfoSCR::Info::getFormatString

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen on squeezeboxserver 7.4
I have just seen that on the settings page of MusicInfoScr there is an option Show playlist name for online streams. In the info it is described that online streams sometimes don't have the artist and/or the album tag set and with this option enabled the playlist name of the online stream can be displayed instead of an empty tag. I have tried this option but it makes no difference in the display output which is correct since the tag concerned in the present case is the COMPOSER tag. However, could it be that TitleSwitcher, MusicInfoScr or even a core component of Squeezebox Server displays the playlist name (whatever this is in an online stream) if the COMPOSER tag is empty? As alreday mentioned, it seems that always the name of the menu item is displayed at which the PLAY button was pressed, so it could be that this is be default the playlist name. And since in some cases the COMPOSER and the ARTIST are treated similarly (there is e.g. an option to include composer in the search for artist) there could be a cross connection which lead to the present problem. At the moment it seems that the problem is related to the TitleSwitcher plugin since it does not show up if MusicInfoScr is used without TitleSwitcher. But the replacement rule could in my opinion even be defined in the core of Squeezebox Server and there is only a wrong handling how TitleSwitcher communicates the empty COMPOSER tag to the core component. I have no idea if this makes sense but if I can give you any information which could help to track down this bug I will do. -- 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

In MIS 4.4.5 it's better but still not correct. I shortly tested it this morning. In last.fm I selected PLAY on menu item My Recommendations. The display switched then between Thriller (Michael Jackson) and Thriller (My Recommendations). The second one is obviously wrong. It seems that TITLE (ARTIST) is handled correctly and in GROUPING (COMPOSER) the GROUPING part is correctly not switched (since GROUPING is empty) but the COMPOSER part is switched although COMPOSER is also empty and somehow the string My Recommendation is displayed. For internet radio the display switched between Top 40-Pop (Bayern 3 97,3) and Top 40-Pop (Bayern 3 97,3(Top 40 Popmusik)). Again the first is correct and the second (comprising the COMPOSER part) is incorrect. The funny thing is that the additional string (Top 40 Popmusik) with the additional parantheses cannot be found in the properties of the radio station. None of the tags which can be shown by pressing RIGHT comprises this string. -- 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

It feels like a bug in MusicInfoSCR then, because it shouldn't remove COMPOSER when it's part of a bigger word. Oh, now I see what you mean. I'm sorry, yes, this might be my problem. Watch out for 4.4.5... ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen on squeezeboxserver 7.4
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
