iTunesUpdate plugin not working on 7.4

[testmatch]

Hi,

This is probably one for James, but others might be able to say if the problem is with my installation. Having updated my server from OS X 10.4 to 10.5 to get around the problem of it not starting with Squeezebox Server 7.4 I have a different problem. I find that the iTunesUpdate plugin no longer works. It is fine on 7.3.4 on the same machine, but with 7.4 its entry in the Extras section of the web interface claims no song is playing (instead of giving the track details), and iTunes is not updated.

The server status details are:

Version: 7.4 - r28494 @ Fri Sep 11 04:02:38 PDT 2009
Hostname: mini.local
Server IP Address: 192.168.0.4
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30) - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: ppc
Perl Version: 5.8.8 - darwin-thread-multi-2level
MySQL Version: 5.0.22-standard
Total Players Recognized: 4

and the server log contains entries like:

Am I right that the errors about "durationseconds" mean that iTunesUpdate needs updating to work with 7.4? Or is something amiss with my installation and others have it working fine?

This is with iTunes v7.7

Thanks for any help,

John

iTunesUpdate plugin not working on 7.4

Looks like the tracks object has changed in 7.4 and the plugin needs updating.
I am not keeping up with 7.4 so can't say when that will be!

Thanks for confirming it's not my setup, James.

I'll keep an eye open for am updated version - and am happy to test if that would help. In the meantime I'm updating iTunes via a mostly manual bodge.

John

James, your plug in is one of the best things about squeezeserver. Is there any prospect of you spending some time getting it running under 7.4?

James,

To second another poster here, yours is probably one of the best plugins that makes my setup at home fantastic. I am sure there are other users who also appreciate the effort you put into this plugin.

Hopefully you will get some time to update the plugin some time in the future.

Thanks!

Hi all, thanks for your messages!

I have posted a new version of iTunesUpdate at http://www.jamescraig.co.uk/SlimServer that appears to work with 7.4 and updated the repository http://www.jamescraig.co.uk/SlimServer/repository.xml to point to this new version. It should also be backward compatible with v7.3.

James,

The plugin is working great. Thanks for the quick turn around!

Best,

Thank you very much James

I am eternally grateful. I was contemplating rolling back to 7.3.

Wonderful - many, many thanks, James.

It's the third party plugin I use the most, so it's great to have it working on 7.4 )

Excellent work! Thanks! I'd already upgraded to 7.4 and rolled back because it wasn't working! Reinstalling 7.4 now!

Terrific

James,

Nicely done. This little corner of the world is AOK again.
