Hi everyone,

Sometimes, the now playing screen (and every other places where the relevant data should appear) doesn't show any information on what's playing. Everything appears as if the tag for the song was empty. Music plays smoothly nevertheless and if I jump to the next track and come back to the previous track, information are displayed properly.

I do not know if this is relevant but I'm using the Audioscrobbler plugin to scrobble what I'm listening with MePo.

I'm facing this issue for a while now, anyone has any idea on what could cause this ?

Thanks,

Seb

Here's the error log when this happens (two occurrences here)

Please provide full debug logs else I will be guessing

Hello Jameson,

Sorry, here are the full debug logs

Hello Jameson,

Sorry, here are the full debug logs

These are not full logs... your mediaportal.xml only contains

This should be much much bigger. Did you collect these logs using the option from the start menu and chose the report a bug option ?

 

[SebNYD]

Yes I did use the special option from the start menu and choose the very first option to report a bug to the MePo Team...

Odd as these logs do not show anything...

Can you try again, at the very least your logs should show MP actually opening up...

2011-02-19 11:46:59.546875 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: Main: MediaPortal v1.1.6.27484 is starting up on Windows XP ( Service Pack 3 ) [5.1.2600.196608]

 

[SebNYD]

I had the log verbosity set to Warning on the MePo configuration, I never suspected that this could have an impact over the debug mode...
Again sorry :-(

Here are what should be full logs.

What I did :
- Choose Arcade Fire => The Suburbs on the Music DB.
- Play track 1 => Song title is displayed properly.
- Skip to track 2 => No song title or track number displayed
- Skip to to track 3 => Song title is diplayed
- Back to track 2 => Song title is displayed

Thanks a lot for your time Jameson

Hello,

Is something still missing ? Can I provide any more info ?

Thanks,

Seb

 

[hwahrmann]

If i am not mistaken, this has been fixed a few weeks ago, either bei jameson_uk or by me. Can't remember anymore.

 

[SebNYD]

Hi hwahrmann,

You mean that it was a bug that will be fixed in MP 1.2 ?

I just looked in Mantis and I saw this :
0003324: No title information for Track 02 when playing CD - MediaPortal Bugtracker

But it only refers to CD playback.

Thanks,

Seb
