Ahhh - right I'm with you now - I had misunderstood an earlier post elsewhere by yourself that I thought implied iPeng can only display 1 piece of info sent from the server due to some limitation... Not that the server was only sending 1 piece... So understand fully now. BTW - one odd little thing I've noticed (you probably have too) - that it seems to always be the last name in the artist list (as entered in the file's tag field) that gets displayed... Another work-around I thought of was just to always put the full album artist name in the artist field last in the list... as that may cause it to always display in iPeng then...? Haven't tested yet though... pippin wrote: > There's a newer one which is being used by the Squeezeboxes themselves > and gives you the additional details but it's > a) not documented and > b) comes in a completely different format > I still plan to eventually switch over to that one but it involves a > complete rewrite of all the player status handling since pretty much > everything in this changed... Understood. I know from the earlier conversation you had said it was a long-term thing to correct - and iPeng's pretty good already so was hoping to find work around to get by indefinitely until resolved... :) pippin wrote: > > > > I think you can change this in LMS right (although I haven't double > > checked for sure)?> > I'm not 100% sure whether that change would affect > > what iPeng shows, I > don't know if it affects the plain CLI status message. Right - gottcha - probably won't affect the background data being broadcast by the server. I haven't quite figured out if there is a setting for it or not, other than the advanced 'now playing' ones anyway (i.e. the ones that display extra info on now playing on the SqBx itself using the remote)... So might be a red herring anyway (i.e. may have my 'wires crossed')... pippin wrote: > Sorry, I don't understand that one. It's redundant with your first answer (i.e. only was a thought "if" the server was broadcasting the data and iPeng was simply dropping the multiple fields e.g. overwriting the same field with each subsequent artist name rather than adding them until the last one was the one left displayed)? But your answer makes it redundant (i.e. server doesn't' send the info to start with). pippin wrote: > > > > Thanks Pippin!
