I'm experiencing something odd that seems to be associated with Radio
Now Playing.

This morning, using version 0.0.14c, I added Radio Swiss Jazz to my
current playlist, to be played next. BBC Radio 3 was currently playing,
using the BBC Sounds plugin.

As soon as RSJ was added, the times displayed by LMS (time the current
track has played so far and time remaining) changed to something
incorrect. I can't be sure, but I think what happens is that every time
the playlist changes, LMS gets the current time for whatever RSJ is
playing and displays that instead of the correct time for what's
actually playing.

One other thing, although this is very obscure: the current_title tag
contains the artist and title of what's playing on RSJ, while the artist
and title tags correctly show what LMS is playing. I see this because I
have a custom Now Playing display at several points around the house,
and it sometimes uses the current_title tag.

Later, while RSJ was playing, everything was correct. Afterward, when
other tracks were playing, incorrect times were again displayed, as long
as RSJ remained in the playlist. After ten songs had played, RSJ was
dropped and times were displayed correctly again.

I did not see any more incorrect current_title tags after RSJ played
today, but I have seen that in the past, when using earlier versions of
Radio Now Playing. I have also experienced incorrect times long after
using Radio Now Playing, when no trace of it remained in the current
playlist. On that occasion, restarting the server corrected the
problem.

I have not done additional testing to see if this happens with other
sources. So far, Radio Swiss Jazz is the only station among those that I
use regularly that seems to trigger this behavior.



LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS. Mostly virtual players,
occasionally with SB Radio, Boom or Classic.
