Title: No Cover Art Displaying For Client Playing From Server ("There" zones)
Post by: whoareyou on October 28, 2020, 10:01:21 pm
I have couple machines used as client JRiver instances connecting to JRiver server instance (JRiver 27.0.21).

When using the client to control a "there" zone no cover art is displayed.
When the client computer plays to local player zone the cover art displays.
On the client, should not cover art display no matter which zone is playing?

(I believe that cover art used to display in JRiver 26 for all zones).

In addition to the album cover not displaying in main portion of screen.
Artist images will also not display for any "there" zone.

Also at top of screen...
The spectrum analyzers do not display. 
Artwork will display but usually only after toggling the "Left align artwork" option.


The text seems to always display correctly.
Thanks

personne n'a répondu. Espérons que la prochaine version corrigera le problème. Mon français est très pauvre
Aucune réponse officielle de JRiver sur le problème

Just to confirm, you are connecting a PC running MC acting as a Client to a PC running MC acting as a Server. So a standard Client/Server setup.

I connected my Workstation as a Client to my HTPC MC Server to test. Yes, this is broken. I think it should work as you describe.

It is possible that this fix broke the Cover Art and Lyrics display on MC when it is acting as a Controller.

27.0.13 (9/17/2020)
6. Changed: When stopped, the display window will go back to showing the logo.

Confirmed. MC27.0.12 works correctly, MC27.0.13 has the problem.


It sort of makes sense that the Spectrum Analyser doesn't display on the Client, as the files aren't being played there. It doesn't display as far back as MC27.0.1, so I'm not sure it ever did display in the Client when connected and playing to the Server. I'm not going to reinstall MC26 to check.

Clearing Playing Now for the Zone "There" doesn't result in a refresh of Playing Now either, so it looks like Playing Now hasn't been cleared until the View is refreshed. Playing Now should refresh when it is cleared.

EDIT: Lyrics aren't displayed by default, even if they are turned on. But turning them off then on results in the Lyrics being displayed on the Client. They may then disappear, but a refresh of Playing Now redisplays them. This indicates deeper problems in the Displaying Now display on the Client to me.


@JRiver, something to fix.

Yes, it is standard client / server setup. 

I also tested previous releases but the first 27 version I found to test was 27.0.13, and as you also discovered, that version had issue.
I also tested final version of 26, and that version seemed to work as expected.

BTW - Where do you find earlier version such as 27.0.12?  I went through wiki, posts, searched and found several releases back to 27.0.13, but did not see anything earlier (or I would have tested).   Bad searching?  Where did you get it?

I'm in the Beta team. I have access to all released versions.

Confirmed. MC27.0.12 works correctly, MC27.0.13 has the problem.

Thanks for finding the exact build!  It allowed us to go through SVN, find the problem, and come up with a fix.

You're a star ;D

Thanks Mat.

I maintain the Release Notes Wiki so finding these sort of changes is a little easier, for us users, with a little imaginative searching. Cool that it is fixed.  8)

Le correctif sera dans la version 27.0.31 et les versions ultérieures. Attendez une version publique contenant le correctif et installez cette version.
