"Now Playing" in fanart mode (1 Viewer)

[nicx]

hi,

i love the fanart mode of "now playing", but if I start it the screen jumps always to the "similar tracks" section. if i change to "now playing" section it switches back to the "similar tracks" with the next song in the playlist automatically.

Is it possible to change this behaviour? I want to see the "current playlist" or the "now playing" section automatically on starting the music and even on each start of the next track in the playlist.

thanks,
nicx...

been asked a few times but I would love to see this sorted too

Is this a bug in skin or a limitation of MP itself?

 

[mortstar]

This is a MediaPortal 'error'.

I think we need to bring this to the attention of the devs (I'm sure they have recognised it in the past, but never made it to mantis). I suppose this would be considered a new 'feature', though to me this is a bug.

Are you sure?? I had in my mind that this was an issue in MP but I have just tried on my dev machine (which is setup a little odd) and updating MyMusicPlayingNow.xml to change

<defaultcontrol>5103</defaultcontrol>

to

<defaultcontrol>5101</defaultcontrol>

seemed to do the trick?

Anyone at a proper MP machine who could just try this ??

I'm not using Maya as skin, but that should matter (if i understood you right)

Go into MP config (Music sections) and select 'Now Playing [always]' from the pull-down menu:

Then when you go to MyMusic inside MediaPortal, you need to press PLAY on an album or track, instead of OK, which makes it jump directly to the 'Now Playing' screen.

Should fix it. But does not.

Was included in my patch yesterday: r278 - mamp2 - Project Hosting on Google Code


Either it's maya dll or Scrobbler causing it. That's what i see i my log.

Either it's maya dll or Scrobbler causing it.

That might be it, it does appear to be working for me but I was using standard home and no Maya plugin. I had scrobbler enabled so this is pointing to it being Maya home plugin.

Off to test that...

OH wait. MyMusicPlayingNow.fanart.xml --> <defaultcontrol>5101</defaultcontrol> EDIT: Still no.

 

[jameson_uk]

Hard to test on my dev machine that does not have much music on and does not have real internet access...

But from what I could tell in a couple of mins of testing the fix itself works and is fine. The problem seems to be that once you have set the control AudioScrobbler comes along and updates the similar track and top album track details and in doing so sets focus to these controls?

By turning off lookup lookup album art, top album and similar tracks options in config this seems to work as it should??

Edit: PS I am not sure what you are saying is happening in your logs...

Oh FINALLY! This fixed it. Without dynamic lookup nothing happens. Seem like these settings set focus no matter what?


And i'm not saying anything is happening i my logs. You just want us to provide them
