WebRadio 3.4

[mvallevand]

WR3 is just an upgrade to WR3 with new skins and rewritten plugin interface code. lots of the page is relevant. Jaggy needs a change in 3.5 and once I figure out if I need a patch for Dave72 I can release 3.5. The main change is the new QAM radio and TV modes in the announcement thread.

Excellent stuff, I'll work with what we've got for now and tweak later

I am wondering how WR decides on it's album art, today I was trying http://208.110.69.125:8016/ for the first time & boy was it displaying some weird AA (refer attached image showing four of them), the other funny/odd thing was the AA would stay displaying for three or four songs after the one it first displayed for even though the artist - song had changed in the playing box??

Its not sophisticated, I take the shoutcast data and break it into two parts but I ignore info after brackets.

The actual query is stored in the logs (those things) here is the last few for me on that stream

Code:

http://images.google.ca/images?q="Beatles"+"Twist%20And%20Shout%20'63"&start=0
http://images.google.ca/images?q="Tab%20Hunter"+""&start=0
http://images.google.ca/images?q="Angels"+"Wow%20Wow%20Wee%20"&start=0
http://images.google.ca/images?q="Foundations"+"Build%20Me%20Up%20Buttercup%20'69"&start=0
http://images.google.ca/images?q="Brian%20Hyland"+"I'm%20Afraid%20To%20Go%20Home%20'63"&start=0

On this stream that google search is sometimes interrupted but the year they put at the end.

I did think of logs but thought the link to the stream was more important

I wonder why it kept display the out of date AA for the next few tracks with different artist track info? It is the first stream that I have seen that does the year that way but from what I saw it was always 'yy but setting to to ignore everything after the ' would "stuff up other streams I'm sure" (stuff up other streams I )

It is poSSible that you are using a Plugin that could be causing an error on art. In 3.5 I will do a regex search and replace the '## end value. It will generally be wrong, except for the few remakes I will miss and we can debug it then.

Martin

[Jaggy]

Yes that is poSSible, but on returning from said plugin WR is also displaying the incorrect AA?

[mvallevand]

I will makes some other changes in 3.5 to see if I can reduce the chance of stale art that might be caused by conflicts deleting the old image.

Martin,

am getting a strange result from listening to DR channels. I have 2 x digital devices with DR channels scanned and selected in device setup. Under the general tab the 'hide DVB/ATSC channels' is selected. In the channels tab there is only 1 entry/number for each of the selected DR channels. In WR config 'digital radio' is selected.

Navigating to the digital radio section in WR there are 2 x entries for each DR channel. They are not duplicates in as much as selecting either one with the same name lists the 2 x digital devices individually. i.e. in my case

entry 1 for LBC 97.3 reveals Hauppauge WinTV 88x DVB-S
entry 2 for LBC 97.3 reveals FireDTV BDA Tuner

all looks normal if I select entry 1. Buffers and plays. However if I bring up the device status from th etray icon it is in fact the FiredDTV device that NextPVR is using.

If I select entry 2 as the channel to play, this is also using the FiredDTV device.

The same happens for every entry selected for Hauppauge WinTV 88x DVB-S, NextPVR uses the FiredDTV device....

[Edit]
Update However if the FireDTV is in use for recording or LiveTV then WR will find and play a DR channel on the 2nd (Hauppauge) device!
[EndEdit]

cheers

When you select the tuner, you are actually just selecting the station list for that tuner. After selecting a station, WebRadio does't do anything fancy and it will play that station on the first available tuner. If you don't want a station or stations to use a tuner don't map them on the higher priority tuner.
