ML2 Issues on PCH

[mvallevand]

Martin, would I lose anything if I used that version of mvpmcx2? My big issue with the current playback screen is that I have a plasma and I'd rather not burn the tub of popcorn into my screen...

I'm confused I thought you had an istar that didn't support Play All? Does it show the popcorn too?

I've got one of each and got the istar first. I've got both up and working (except for the play all issue on the istar)

Check the --no-nmt-gui command line option with Net Radio and if it works let me know. I might re-release the feature during audio play. since I now can stop most of the keystrokes from going to the pch. i might release the ugly fish screensaver too if there is more interest.

Yes.

Net radio returns to the GB-PVR interface, if that's what it's supposed to do...

I imagine this will go to the GB-PVR screen saver after a while, which is perfect for a plasma...

Even the ugly fish would work, although it is ugly...

Wow!

The net radio returning to GB-PVR is great! I can play a slide show during the Net Radio playback. That's cool.

Thanks.

Martin, in this configuration, users are able to navigate around gbpvr while the netradio is playing.

So if you ran a netradio stream, which happened to take a stream from a slim server (rather than local files), could I then write a plugin to tell the slim server next track previous track and "control" the music stream that way?

Because if i can tell slimserver to change track, then I'd also obviously be able to get access to what the currenly playing track is - by asking the slim server..

You could do it, but as sub mentioned here earlier, he can provide you with the now playing information too, the bigger issue is the HDMI mixer and getting an updated mono from Syabas that didn't touch the screen would be the solution.

We may have discussed something earlier when I talked about the challenge of mixing FLAC, mp3 and wma into one internet radio stream.

Yeah personally that wouldn't affect me much, and I imagine it would become the squeezecenter's problem.

The HDMI issue, is that related to when the pch is connected to at tv via hdmi? What if a pch is connected to a tv via hdmi for video/Audio and a receiver for audio (2x RCA).

So we could have a bit of a workaround solution if the user wanted to install a squeeze server?

[dirkomatic]

I wonder how many people use the HDMI audio and don't send the audio to a receiver by some other means?

I would think that would be the majority of users.

psycik with the latest firmware I can now get notification when a playlist changes from one song to the next, backwards or forwards and at the end of the song. I might get some eye candy for non-HDMI audio users yet.
