[1269] SDBSongData.Path does not work with URLs

[botijo]

Hi,
I do not know since which version my UPNP client script stopped working. I have been doing some experiments and I think that MM is not playing nice with SDBSongData.Path field anymore. In order to rule out that my script was doing something nasty, I have setup following code in the script:

Code: Select all

Set NewSong = SDB.NewSongData
NewSong.Path = "http://127.0.0.1:5050/song/1"

As you can see, the whole idea is to get NewSongData and fill up the details. Then I store the NewSongData in the visible track list.

I can see the Path being set as expected in the track properties window. But if I try to play that song, I get following debug info:

Code: Select all

Please be aware that I was also using my UPNP server in the same machine, so some info could be double posted (e.g the messages with [908] are part of the server and not the client). The same issues happen with Windows Media Player, so I am sure it is not server related. Please note that my server is reporting that an HTTP request has been crafted whenever it plays, but does not report anything when the file is not being played. This points me to the direction that MM is not even trying to open the URL I have given to it.

So, I am at a loss. As this was working before (one year ago!) and it is not working now, I am reporting this as a bug. If there is any other mechanism I am not aware of and that I should try, please reply to this post.

There is also another bug related to this issue: if I try to put the actual playlist that does not play into a saved playlist, MM throws and exception. Developers, you should have gotten an automated e-mail from me when I tried that. That e-mail is related to this issue.

If needed, I can easily provide detailed log files. I was using the code that I distributed one year ago, so it should not be hard to download it if you want to have a look.

Thanks for your time.

Botijo,

I tested with following auto-script:

Code: Select all

Option Explicit

Sub OnStartUp()
    Dim mnuTest
    Set mnuTest = SDB.UI.AddMenuItem(SDB.UI.Menu_Edit, 0, 0)
    mnuTest.Caption = "Test"
    mnuTest.OnClickFunc = "Test"
    mnuTest.UseScript = Script.ScriptPath
End Sub

Sub Test(Item)
    Dim NewSong
    Set NewSong = SDB.NewSongData
    NewSong.Path = "http://spiker.wz.cz/Up%20to%20the%20stars.mp3"
    SDB.Player.PlaylistClear
    SDB.Player.PlaylistAddTrack( NewSong)
    SDB.Player.Play
End Sub

and it does work right, no problems with playling.
The URL is played despite the fact whether it is played via the script or via the 'Open URL or File...' menu item

Also tested with local UPnP URL: http://192.168.2.4:53403/content?path=A ... n+Hair.mp3
and again no problems, tested with the newest build.

Hi, Ludek,
thanks for looking into this. I now realize what the problem is. I have changed the subject replacing the root cause of the problem. Using this code:

Code: Select all

    
Set NewSong = SDB.NewSongData
NewSong.IsntInDB = True
NewSong.Path = "http://www.rtve.es/resources/TE_SATODO/podcast/mp3/1/7/1254057565571.mp3"
SDB.Player.PlaylistClear
SDB.Player.PlaylistAddTrack( NewSong)
SDB.Player.Play

It fails to play because of the IsntInDB option. Removing that line makes the item to play fine. The intention here was to not let MM store any info about the songs that are part of a server, as they might be volatile. It is curious that I was the last one updating the info in the Wiki.

I am worried about what would happen if this setting is not being set to True. It would be best if the info on the wiki was updated.

I really appreciate that you, Ludek, have been spending some time on this issue. It really gave me a boost when I was down. Sometimes, the simple things show you how things work.

Botijo,
you are right, if there is the line

Code: Select all

NewSong.IsntInBD = true

then it fails to play.

This is a regression as you indicated, I entered it as http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5997 and fixed in build 1270
that is going to be posted soon.

Thanks for fixing this in such a brief time.
