Dead now playing entry (bug?)

Post by scott967 »

Got a new laptop that had a DLNA controller on it, and was doing some testing. I used the WMP on the laptop as a server, and MM4 on my desktop as a render target. I sent an mp3 file from WMP server to MM4 and it played, and I got the art in the now playing window. I noted that even after shutting down the controller on the laptop the mp3 was still available. Later after restarting the MM4 computer and then MM4 the now playing list had an entry, but the summary/title info was apparent random characters, and I hit play on MM4 and it locked up hard.

I would presume though that this is due to Pushing the file from WMP and thus not being made available any more by WMP (maybe Session issue). You could send a debug log (step 4b) to support if this does work for other clients after restart: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69
