Announce: Spicefly SugarCube (Automatic MusicIP DJ)

[audiomuze]

I've used Sugarcube for quite some time (donated for the developer's efforts), but the amount of time I'll be using it now is quite limited. Why? Because I've found that it slows down the operation of the SB server. Anyone else having that problem?

1) I'm not seeing any performance issues, even with it running on my NAS
2) Why would you be wanting to interact with the server Whilst SugarCube is being your DJ?

I'll take your word for it but I dont have any donations from a Lyster :s If you have, then you will have received login details to the Spicefly forums so send me the details and I'll look into it.

In terms of slowdown, SugarCube is inactive 99% of the time and only wakes up on track changes doing its business in approx less than 1/2 of a second and to display Coming Up next details (if turned on) so not sure how you would be seeing a slowdown on your system.

Anyhow like I said, get in touch and I'll see what can be done.

Cheers

I seem to be having a problem with SC 2.10 + SBS 7.5 (7.5.1.30503 on Windows Homeserver) + SP 7.5.0.8680
When I select 1 song to be played, it generates a second song in the playlist, which in it's turn generates a third and then the second & third song play in an "eternal" loop.

There are definately nexus points in a music library, where a track will match with a lot of other tracks, so come up frequently. I've implemented various blocking routines in the later versions so try out 2.56.

Cheers

I have upgraded to SB Server 7.5 and Sugarcube 2.10. I was just curious as to what the Track Duplicator Weighting option is and how to implement it.
So far SB S 7.5 and Sugarcube 2.10 are working out quite well for me

See the website for details, there is even a nice graphic

I've since upgraded to the latest and everythin is OK again (just checked, I'm at 2.85 now).
Thanks a lot for this useful plugin!

If this hasn't already been mentioned, a bug in SugarCube was found when using the SqueezePad iPad application, see the following posts for more information:

It seems to occur if you try to enter the SqueezePlay SugarCube Settings menu. As mentioned in the last link, the menu doesn't seem to work correctly in SqueezePlay so it's not specific to SqueezePad.

One addition: in the log erland provided there is a second bug in the menuitem "Replace Next Track":

selectedIndex => 0

Choice-Options in SqueezePlay are all 1-based.

I wasn't able to find the last 1.9 beta at this link. Is it named something unusual?

You can find it on Spicedfly's webpage and here is a direct link.

Hi Charles,

Are you aware that the Spicefly Website is down?
