DLNA playing and Track Info
« on: Today at 07:52:36 am »

When using "Playing Now" via a DLNA device, no "Track Info" option is displayed for right-clicking. Will this be possible in the new version? This means that the excellent work of "English Tiger" cannot be used at the moment.

That would be great if we could add it in to a client.  JRemote 3 allows you to look at all the metadata fields that have data but leveraging TrackInfo data would be great!

As you are all probably aware TrackInfo Plugins are dependent on an instruction set that gets the metadata it uses/needs from the Main MC Library, once MC34 is mature enough, and I've finished my current project, I plan to talk with Matt to find out if it is possible to come up with a similar instruction set that get's the metadata from the remote library.

Dear EnglishTiger, I'm playing directly from the main library (metadata) to a DD-receiver via Lan. So I think the metadata's should be available.
Edifier are speakers connected to the HTPC via cinch; DLAN device - directly from MC via Lan.

Big Labinski, as I posted in the relevant MC 33 thread, TrackInfo Plugins are dependent on getting the metadata they use/require from the Main Library whilst Clients get their metadata from the Remote Library.

Later this year I will approach Matt to see if there is a way TrackInfo Plugins can get that metadata from the Remote Library; even though that would mean there would have to be 2 versions of the MC Ultra and MCC Ultra TrackInfo Plugins - one that gets the metadata from the main library and one that gets it from the remote library.

But don't hold your breath waiting to find out if it can be done because I'm probably going to be busy with my current project for the next couple of months.
