ML2 Issues on PCH

[psycik]

hi martin.

Is this the latest beta firmware?

So this would give a display while playing?

On other thing I've just thought of is, if i have a playlist, it's its playing on the pch, can I add a track to it? I'm picking the answer is no, since as i understand it, the playlist is sent to the pch.

The biggest advantage to being able to retain control over the ui while playling, is so that you can then browse and add more tracks (I was trying to think of another advantage rather than just album art after your "in this day and age the tv should be off" comment )

I look forward to seeing what you can do.

So am I correct in assuming that while my hdmi connected tv this wont work with, but if i had the PCH running through my receiver that both picture and sound would be working?

Yes, but it is a Release Candidate for next week.

I've been able to do this for a few months, the issue with ML2 would stay on the first song forever

That's in your control, if you want to virtualize a second queue which will be started when the first one ends I don't see this as a problem other than a one time 10 second delay. To do anything smarter would require control of the http server.

To some I guess, I have to say I only use jukebox mode.

I look forward to seeing what you can do.

And to you and sub too. Unfortunately I've nuked ML2 and I can't get ML3 to create a database but I will write on this in your later.

That is the assumption I am making I don't have HDMI, but it was HDMI audio that seemed to cause the problem.
