ML2 Issues on PCH

[mvallevand]

I tested the patch and the first song is duplicated but the pls does play to the end, but ML2 doesn't start the sequence over after the media stop.

Martin, you could try this patch to queue file the same way sub does (for the first random)...

I have a fair chunk of other AddAudioFileToQueue entries i could change over to the same method, but this one is the one of the random playlist key (Ctrl-R).

Not sure what I'll do for the second random.

If I stored the first playlist and the new second playlist then passed it all back to PluginHelperFactory.PlayAudioFiles(queue)

Do you have enough control to be able to take my full playlist, and then, maybe an int with the track the user was up to? PluginHelperFactory.PlayAudioFiles(queue,currentTrack)

Ok so they'd have a stop and a restart, but only to the current track, not to the start of the whole playlist....

Ok, I could do that. Is there a queue object?? I never seen one - but I suppose once this was working I had no reason to look further.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Its only really the limitations of the PCH, and the way we're trying to work around them that causes this problem.

The class was System.Collections.Queue.

psycik/sub that solves the first two problems but it doesn't restart and I'm not sure why exactly. However this would normally have sixty random songs which won't be too bad.

Unfortunately no.

[sub]

I've got to shoot out for a bit, but I'll look into it further when I'm back.

[psycik]

But I suppose I might be able to store the current playlist, and the new one, and take off the tracks that have already been played..and then call PlayAudioFiles again.

You'd loose the ability to go back though.

[mvallevand]

You could always just raise the queue limit to 2000 or higher. For the Music Library adding 10 or 2500 didn't make much difference.

Martin

[psycik]

Well that's just it, all you'd need to do is go into the config and change you random minutes from 60 to lots more....

[mvallevand]

I appears the limit is 1000

"MusicLibrary2: Generating a random playlist of 1000 length"

But if there are fewer in the database I guess ML2 doesn't try and do repeats.
