SDBApplicationEvents:OnNowPlayingModified issues [#9960]

[Gingernut63]

SDBApplicationEvents:OnNowPlayingModified is triggered by ISDBPlayer:PlaylistInsertTracks when used by android and apple apps for MM remote control . However when PlaylistAddTrack, PlaylistClear, PlaylistDelete, and PlaylistMoveTrack are used, OnNowPlayingModified is not triggered. Is this a bug or expected behaviour?

You're right, OnNowPlayingModified is only triggered in some cases. PlaylistInsertTracks causes the event to fire, whereas PlaylistAddTrack doesn't.
PlaylistClear, PlaylistDelete, PlaylistMoveTrack also do not trigger the event.

These functions are being used by remote control app developers to control MediaMonkey. MonkeySqueeze uses the OnNowPlayingModified event to monitor when changes are made to the Now Playing Window so it can update a Squeezebox system with the current playlist, Problems are now being experienced when the remote apps are being used to modify the Now Playing list. With the increase in remote apps being developed and the forthcoming MM app it would be good for 3rd party developers to use the OnNowPlayingModified event for any changes to the now playing list. There are no problems experienced when using the MM GUI.

Bump

It has been quite a few months since this was added to Mantis, will there be any action to rectify the issue?

Thank you, I had a peek at Mantis yesterday and noticed the "resolved" notification. Looking forward to trying it out.

Cheers

After preliminary testing using 4.1.0.1652 the fix is working well. At least four remote control apps are now working with full functionality with MonkeySqueeze.
Thanks again.

Glad to be at service THX for confirmation.
