first song in playlist (Evanescence) starts to play (wrong cover displayed. "Pelude to War")
Attachment 212
go to "now playing"
Evanescence is playing but wrong cover displayed "Pelude to War"
Attachment 213
a few seconds later: Evanescence is still playing. no clue if that is the correct cover

Attachment 221
a few seconds later: "Kosheen" is still playing. but wrong cover displayed. "Pelude to War"
Attachment 222
next cover then Evanescence, then Kosheen, then Prelude to war and so on and so on..

MediaPortal should only display cover art of current playing song as far as i know. but here it is rotating all covers of songs that have allready been played..

seems like cache is not cleared on song change because amount of displayed cover art is increasing with each song change.

Can confirm this. Have this behavior sometimes too. Also with SVN installed. Since I didn't pay so much attention to it, I can not make such a detailled error description.

EDIT #1: MyMusic Player: Internal Music Player (BASS), Vis: Alchemy

EDIT #2: Tried to reproduce the error with SVN 10374, but couldn't. Everything is working fine...

Test2:

same procedure as before

MyMusic Player: Internal Music Player (BASS)
Vis: none

result: MediaPortal is constantly displaying cover art from first played song. never changes song cover on song changes

infinityloop · 2006-09-20, 12:52

Test3:

same procedure as before

MyMusic Player: Direct Show
Vis: "none"

result: MediaPortal is changeing cover art on song-change. feature is working as expected.

infinityloop · 2006-09-20, 13:24

Test4:

same procedure as before

MyMusic Player: internal (bass)
Vis: "none"
Vis: disabled in MyMusic initial screen and in Misc. settings for now playing

result: MediaPortal is changeing cover art on song-change. feature is working as expected.

If you enable the viz & select none or the default visulasation options, this happens exactly as described by infinityloop.

This may be related, but when I use internal with viz and load a playlist there is no album art displayed apart from the last album displayed and there is no info in the info pane on full screen viz. Plays the songs ok though!

sounds interesting.

please start a new bugreport thread with step by step description + screenshots + logs.
see my first post as example how your report should look.

Hi,
Seems to have been fixed by Bavarian in revision 10396 (fixing album thumb with visualization not updated during playlist play).
Works fine here now

Regards
Roy

I will update to 10396 and see what effect that has on my issue and report back here and in a new thread if necessary.

Bit late in the evening to be doing this just now so it'll be tomorrow.
