Title: Track Info problems in recent builds
Post by: SeaDrive on May 18, 2008, 07:10:55 am

I installed 12.0.497 the other day and just realized that my track info template do not work properly. Any track info pages that attempt to open a different page using the #TRACKINFO_OPENPAGE method only returns a white screen.

I waited until the next release (504) to see if the problem would be resolved but still no resolution. Can anyone help with this?

I've still been struggling with the trackinfo issue with no success. Now that a had a bit of time I loaded older versions of MC from back to 465. The older version work fine. It appears that the method of handling links in a trackinfo template that use TRACKINFO_OPENPAGE_ has changed recently. MC used to create a page named Generated.html and load that page in the browser. Now it appears as if the index.html file is loaded directly without the need for a generated.html file. Although the index.html pge loads fine any attempt to link to a page using the TRACKINFO_OPENPAGE_ method produces only a white screen. The problem seems to have been introduced during this change. The issue applies to any trackinfo template using this method.

Has this been confirmed and/or will it be fixed?

Thanks.

I have noticed LOTS of white screens with various track info plugins....the one I use works (PM_15) , but it's a shame to see others failing to load.

Its a shame. I just updated to 510 and the problem still exists. Every trackinfo template that hyperlinks to a new page shows a blank white screen. Still no fix or reply. Why?

In build 512 and later:
Fixed: Track Info pages that linked to other pages wouldn't work properly.

Matt,

Isn't the latest version 510 or am I looking in the wrong place?

BTW: I'm not trying to be difficult. I wrote numerous track info plugins that allow the user to browse through Lyrics, Bios, Album Info, etc in the MC browser as well as places like Songfact, LastFM, Youtube, etc in Internet Explorer to create an interactive experience while listening. Unfortunately the entire experience chashed and burned once I coudn't link to other pages in MC.

Thanks.
