Bill just confirmed there was a problem on his end, and he was working
on it.

Just found this today when my RP plugin updated.
Thanks Michael!

"Play Something Different is no longer a thing. You should implement 'skip' instead." Bill told me. v2.1.0 does it.

When you're playing lossless Radio Paradise you can now press the FWD button to skip a track you don't like. Simple as that. Have fun!

I was just trying (unsuccessfully) to get PSD as a Favorite in the WebUI when I saw this.
Not sure which I like better, this or FLAC

BTW, do you still need PSD in the WebUI My Apps and in the Contextual Menu on the SB Radio? Maybe just a message to press FWD for PSD?

[Tony T]

If you want to add it to a playlist or prefs, use the url "radioparadise://1.flac".

Not sure if this was mentioned, but there's more than 1. When I selected from My Apps I get "radioparadise://4.flac".

I'm also having the "Enable Radio Paradise HD images" issue reported a few pages back.
Clicking "Enable…" does not enable HD Images, and the option never toggles to "Disable…"
I'm running 7.9.1 on a pCP

Log (Debug) show nothing, just:

ok, I'm done with playing with the options on the updated Plug-in, time to just enjoy the new FLAC stream and now easily selected PSD

If you enable HD images from the context menu instead of the option in the App it seems to work.

Tried that on my SB Radio, still no HD Images.
(I don't use HD Images, but just thought I'd report it)

Strange. It works for me on the SB Radio and Orange Squeeze.

Please update to 1.0.6. It will hopefully fix the issue.

WWTT 1.0.6 seems to prevent local tracks being listed. There was a comment in the WWTT thread about this so I tried it and no local tracks at all were listed.

Yup, when I play tracks from my own collection, they "usually" do not appear in WWTT (v1.0.6.) I actually did see one local track appear in the WWTT display, after the track had finished playing.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll follow up in the WWTT thread.

I'm really enjoying and listening to RP more now with FLAC, and the PSD with the Next Track button is great!
(This was enough to get me off my a$$ to finally make a support payment to RP)

[Tony T]

When in PSD (and FLAC), is there a way to get back to the RP Main Stream?
(Tried Prev Track, but that just restarts the track)

In FLAC there's no such thing as a main stream, or even PSD. It's
basically a never ending playlist. If you decide to skip a track, then
well, you skip a track. But you can't skip back. Which means that as
soon as you've skipped a track, you'd be ahead of the "main stream".
Which allows you to know what listeners on the regular mp3 stream would
listen to in an hour from now :-).

> (Tried Prev Track, but that just restarts the track)

Hmm... how did you do so? I thought I had disabled Previous.
