Casting Issues.

[Bigmack3000 107]

I was casting an Instant Mix from my Android to a Sonos Move.  It would play one song from the list, then repeat the next song 2 or 3 times.  Play one song. Repeat the next one 2 or 3 times:

 

Separately, If i close out of the app, and then go back in, the "now playing" bar on the bottom disappears.  How do I navigate back to the playlist window again when that happens?

Logs attached.

Thanks!

Hi, is this with the Sonos plug-in or dlna?

[Bigmack3000 107]

i think dlna.  I went inside the emby app and chose to cast it to the speaker from emby.

[Bigmack3000 107]

@Lukeany ideas what's causing this?

[Luke 42080]

Are you still seeing this with the latest update to the Emby Dlna plugin?

[Bigmack3000 107]

No, still happening.  It's definitely an issue with emby updating any changes made to a playlist.  It's hard to take a screenshot of it happening, but I'll try with these:

So let's say "Come and get your Love" is playing when i make a change to the upcoming songs.  Maybe i remove "High Horse" from the list.  When that song ends, it moves to "Who'll stop the rain", which plays fine. But, when it goes "Fade Away" it looks like this:

Notice. It keeps the metadata from the previous song, plus that weird time remaining bar.  Then when "Fade Away" ends, it updates to the correct image and metadata for "Fade Away" and plays the song again.  

 

This same exact process is what happens anytime you alter the upcoming songs.

OK please let me know if the 1.2.2 update to the Emby Dlna plugin helps. Thanks.

So, it's different, but kind of worse now.  Basically it still does this part:

Except, instead of playing the song again with the correct metadata, it just stops playing.  the song ends with that type of time remaining bar, but just sits.  Then when I hit next, it repeats the last song with the correct metadata.  

You can even see in the activity log which songs it happens to because they don't have a "finished playing" update:

I've also attached logs incase there's anything in there.

@Lukejust checking if there are any more updates on this?  Casting an instant mix is essentially non-functional as is.

Can you temporarily enable both server debug logging and dlna debug logging, then repeat the problem, and then provide that server log? It will contain more info for me to review. Thanks.

@LukeI enabled both and had an instamix going as I randomly took songs off it the past hour.  The logs are attached.

OK please try this version of the dlna plugin and let me know if it helps:

Emby.Dlna.zip

How do I install this file into emby?

[Luke 42080]

just unzip to /volume1/Emby/plugins

Then restart the server.

[Bigmack3000 107]

how do I access that on a synology nas?

[Bigmack3000 107]

Ok, I think I got it installed.  But it says it looks like this is version 1.2.2? Which is the version I already had installed.  Is this a, hopefully, fixed version of 1.2.2?

Hey, I think this might have fixed it!  

The first time i attempted an instant mix, Emby closed out after the first song ended. BUT, the second time, I was able to freely delete songs, and move songs around without any issues.  I was only about to play about 10 songs, but problems normally kicked in after 4 in older versions.  I'll test it out more tomorrow, but this might be good to go!

Logs attached, incase there's anything to look at. (It's a zip file because the actual log was over 300mb.  I don't know why).

Great, thanks for confirming.
