I am aware of how SB Players work as well as that it is basically the LMS telling the players what to play etc. But with simply having the Touch control another player, you don't get the symptoms I described because it would be another player playing and not the Touch. In my case, it is the Touch playing what the Touch selected, but the "Now Playing" screen and the playlist is not updated. atrocity wrote: > I've seen this happen off and on for years: > > 1.

This is a different problem. The symptoms are different and I am not using Dynamic Playlists and Custom Skip (have them installed though). What I'm using most of the time to select my next songs is Spicefly Sugarcube. However, now that you mention it, it might be the case that this problem occurred precisely in those situations when I last played a full album (i.e. Sugarcube had not been active). At least that was the case this morning. But I'll have to verify that when it happens again. I am running 7.7.3 and have avoided updating to 7.8. based on the principle "never change a running system", but maybe it's time to upgrade? I'm sceptical, though, because I've been on 7.7.3 for a long time and this has only started happening in recent weeks. I'd actually like to understand where exactly something is going wrong before going for the update. If this issue is not known for 7.7.3 it's unlikely (but not impossible) that it's been fixed in 7.8., so better localize it and fix it properly. I'm not familiar with the exact processes involved in playing a song from the Touch (or more precisely: in updating the "Playing now" screen). I guess a developer would be able to help localize the exact spot where something is going wrong (and what might be causing it)... *Server*: LMS 7.7.3 on a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 *Players*: Radio, Touch, Duet (Receiver & Controller), Boom, Squeezeplayer on iPad 2 *Remote control apps*: iPeng (iOS), SqueezePad (iOS), Squeezecontroller (Android) *Important plugins*: Trackstat, Spicefly Sugarcube, Lazy Search Music, Switch Player, SmartMix, Custom Browse ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chaug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102161 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
