Title: Different playlists over network
Post by: The Big Labinski on September 14, 2018, 05:02:20 pm

I sent a playlist from one mediacenter to another one.
On one computer the full playlist is visible - on the other one not.
Is there a way to solve this?
Two pics are attached - easier to understand - hopefully.

When you push a playlist from one MC to another it uses DLNA to send the files. DLNA supports a maximum of two files at a time so you will see the display reflect the current two files in the playlist, the one playing and the next to be played. That playlist on the machine you pushed the files to will update as they play.

WOW dear bob, that´s a very clear answer and now fully understandable for me. I thought it could be something wrong with my configuration.

What happen about the opposite: I´m playing locally a playlist with more titles in MC, on the other computer I can see under overview just the still playing titel of the other pc and not the full playlist. Is this also a normal behavior under MC?

Thanks for your competent answer in advance and take care
Stefan

Yes that is the correct behavior because it can only ask for the status of the current playing track.

If you instead used the playback MC as a library server client to a MC library server, pulling the files instead of pushing them, you would see the whole playlist.
