Mmmh... of course your plugin is installed but starting Juke Radio via Favorites (based on the posted .opml change), I see the following (I guess it's MAI):

Yes its MAI on your local LMS
Without the plugin MAI will return the Artist bio and the lyrics but not any album review.
With the plugin you get the artwork and album name as well as artist - title - which then lets MAI do all its stuff.

If the plugin is installed you can launch from the plugin or a favourite and still get the cover / album info

The plugin sets up a match in LMS for the underlying stream URL.
This means the plugin is called whenever something matching that URL is played - regardless of where the playing is initiated from.

Thanks for the explanation - Understood :-)

Paul I've had this running for a week now and it's great for displaying Album/Artist/Trackname in the Classic View but the Track Info Pane is not updating after the first track.
Of course this is not a problem in the Material Skin.
Am I doing something wrong?

[Paul Webster]

It is one of the quirks (assuming the problem is the lower part of the screen).
It happens with all of my plugins and I suspect it happens with some others as well.
It is the playlist … and, in theory it should really show Juke Radio since that is what was queued to the playlist.
There may well be something that I could/should do in the plugin to either set it back to the originally queued item or force it to update with the Now Playing info but I have never been able to work out how to do it.

I just checked on Radio Paradise (I had to re-install) and it's exactly the same. Think something must have changed in LMS, I'm pretty sure it worked before - but could be wrong.

Only just been alerted to this by another member so have added the URL to mysqueezebox.com on My Favourites as this then appears under Favourites for all players. So far had one of the mentioned sound glitches but otherwise no sound issues. Only been listening for about 27 minutes and the range is a bit narrow but expect this is due to this only being a test . Will leave this playing most of today while I am using my computer and if you need any detail this is the system

I will PM you about the LMS plugin as I would like to try it and can give you feedback on that after I install it. Thanks for getting this up and running and it will be interesting to listen going forward.

The current playlist is simply a random output - it will be different when we have completed the playout testing.

The significant obvious issue at present is the encoder "burp" but there is a bigger underlying issue which testers won't see - we need to re-design the API that exposes the extended metadata. It is not at all efficient.

I have had the occasional hiccup, with no interruption to sound

At approx 1140 and 1150 this am music stopped playing (into SBRadio)

Using Material Skin the time counter was still counting, I hit pause, then play, music restarted

We've not had any outage Ronnie - I have a constant stream open for monitoring the server.
