I noticed several bugfixes regarding UPnP downloads were included in build 468. I'd never done anything with this feature, so I played around with it.
I navigated to my NAS's server, selected a small playlist, and queued it up (did not start) in Now Playing. I selected the first item in the playlist, tapped Download. Notification appeared. Even after the download was complete, notification showed a Cancel operation.
I found a folder in the UPnP download location (extSdCard/Audiotracks/Music), labelled for the artist of the SECOND item in the playlist; and inside was the FLAC and JPEG art for that track.
Then I turned off wi-fi, and started playing from the start of list.
1) The Now Playing display (and the widget) kept updating with the title of the track being sought, even tho the track was inaccessible. The artwork from the last played track persisted.
2) Neither the FIRST track (which I'd tried to download) nor the SECOND track (which actually was downloaded) actually played.
3) Timeout for each missing track was on the order of ten or fifteen seconds, but there was no way to prevent MMA from advancing across each track trying the same server, track after track -- except, to turn wifi back on, at which point the next advance found the server and started playing tracks.
On completion of the two tracks that were played after wi-fi was turned on, I looked in that download folder again. The FLAC was still there but the JPEG was not.
I guess I must have set this Audiotracks/Music folder in the options at some point, but it was not set as one of the folders to be scanned by MMA; so I added it to the library folder list. When I exited options, I saw the spinning arrow indicating a rescan. However, I don't see the track listed under Albums or Album Artists, the only two category buttons I have set up on my home screen. (See
the topic I just started for why I'm not changing the home screen.)
Starting the track from the folder (using an alternate player), it is in fact the track that the name implies (and not the track I'd selected for download).
This is running on an older Galaxy Tab 2 with JB 4.2.2.
