Am I missing something?

I have seen multiple times that in the player status message LMS sets the 'size' parameter larger than the number of items it returns - often it is one larger. This causes Material to think there are more items so asks LMS for these other items and the last one is repeated.

This does not seem to affect the Default skin, but I have seen it also affect SqueezeCtrl - where it shows a blank item.

Bug-fix release, main changes:

1. Close players menu 3/4 of a second after long-press on 'Manage players' entry, to (try to) prevent item being incorectly selected.
2. If set to show technical info then also append this to track details when using 'Copy details' action.
3. Try to work-around LMS returning incorrect queue size.
4. Make 'Source' entry in now-playing a link to online service's track, if possible.
5. Correctly handle LMS's new British English language setting.

If I long press "Manage players" a player still gets checked. There is a difference where a continued long press doesn't highlight a player any more and a player does not become checked after this longer press which is the same behaviour as before. The shorter long press still results in a checked player though.

Hmm... this kind of rings a bell. Would you have a reproducible case?

The built-in web UIs don't use the same queries in some places, eg. the
Now Playing playlist.

Unfortunately no. If it was reproducible, or easily so, I would have either tried to fix or raise an issue on github.

@craig

The new “copy details” works perfectly as a means of sharing to social media. Thank you.

Thanks for the info!

All I want to do is convert from an LMS track URL to the URL to access the track on the service's website. So, for spotify LMS has "spotify://track:TRACK_ID" - Material then simply converts this to "https://open.spotify.com/track/TRACK_ID" This URL is then use when copying track details and also as a link underneath the lyrics display in Material.

Likewise, for Deezer LMS uses "deezer://TRACK_ID.EXT" and this is converted (by Material) to "https://www.deezer.com/track/TRACK_ID"

I just need the Pandora equivalent - if this is possible? Never used Pandora, so not sure if is is the same as the others or not.

As the other Paul mentioned Pandora has stations not specific tracks. I use Pandora occasionally. If you still need something, please send me a personal message of what you need and how to get it and I will try and help.

Thanks, I'll leave it as is then - seeing as Pandora is more like a radio station.
