Issue with playlists from home shares

[Mick Davis]

Hi,

I've been using Signal for years now and love it BTW

Seeing playlists on shares has always been a little iffy. Often I would have to restart Signal, or drop the share and reopen it before the share would show up in the browser.

I pretty much only use Signal in the summer to control the music while I'm sitting on the deck, so it's been at least 5 or 6 months since I used it last.

The newest version was installed today, along with an update to iTunes, and now I can't get Signal to show me the playlists on my share at all.

I'm running Signal 1.7.1.1, iTunes 11.0.2.25 on Windows XP. The machine that hosts the shared music is at the same level of iTunes also running Windows XP.

I'm accessing Signal via an Android phone and tablet with various browsers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Mick,

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look. You're right that shared library support has been a bit iffy, iTunes does not really have a good API for this. I'd hoped that the DMCP interface would provide a more reliable means of accessing shared library information, but unfortunately this requires an authentication mechanism that is private to Apple.

Thanks Matt, I appreciate it.  As I said, I love Signal, thanks for the great work!

Hi Matt,

Any idea if this is something that you'll be able to get working again?

I should be able to get it going again but it's a bit of work to implement so I can't say exactly when it will be available. I do plan to fix it though.

I've just posted Signal 1.7.4 with a fix for this. Once the shared library has been connected to in iTunes Signal should pick it up.

Fantastic Matt, thank you!  I'll give it a workout this evening.  Just in time for my memorial day party!

Have a great weekend and thank you again for an excellent little program.
