issue with /Sessions/{Id}/Playing/{Command}

[yaksplat 66]

When a pause command is issued, the stream is paused correctly.  However, when unpause is sent out, the track restarts.

PlayPause just seems to restart the current track.  Is it supposed to toggle the isPaused attribute?

It looks like you want: /Sessions/{Id}/Playing/Unpause

I say looks like because I haven't tried this endpoint myself.

Unpause just restarts the track

@Lukeare there API updates coming this this as well?  Seems it's currently broken.

Seems to work just fine when using the web app to control another app.

Is it Unpause or Playpause?  All I see in the log is Playpause for both pausing and unpausing.

[yaksplat 66]

Unpause restarts the audio item every single time.  

 

PlayPause does an instant restart of the audio item.  No pause, just a restart.

To what app?

[yaksplat 66]

To a raspberry pi, running theater.

Ok i tested and it seems to be working just fine. I would try the latest version of the app.

[yaksplat 66]

Running server version 4.6.0.10

Testing from the API:

Pause - pauses the song

Unpause - Restarts the song

PlayPause - Restarts the song

From the Dashboard:

Pause button - Restarts the song

Play button (when paused through the api) - Restarts the song

Seems to be working in my testing but we'll keep an eye on it.

I figured the exact steps to recreate this, and when it works or doesn't work.

Hopefully this makes sense

Can you try using the online web app instead of your local web app?

Thanks.

Running from http://app.emby.media , sending commands to a raspberry pi image running Theater 3.0.14.

The pause button does a restart of the current song. 

I see it sending the PlayPause command.
