Whitebear and confusion over STOP command
« on: March 03, 2016, 05:04:58 am »

Trying to get to grips with the whole DLNA/Whitebear/JRemote thing...

Testing by playing a playlist to a Squeezebox Boom, through Whitebear/LMS.

The tracks PLAY fine, but if I use the Boom's remote to long-pause, eg to halt playback completely, it stops the current track, but then MC/Whitebear starts playing the next track, and so on and so on.  It then becomes a battle to get the BOOM to stop at all.  There seems to be no way to stop this beyond using the JRemote app to stop playback, when sometimes it's most convenient to just grab for the Logitech remote.

Is there anyway to set this up so that all remotes are usable and MC/Whitebear can see that I'm using other remotes to start and stop playback?

Nope. (Sorry).

This is not a Whitebear thing or an MC thing; rather it is a UPnP thing.

UPnP is designed for a single Control Point. It has a state machine that can synchronize states between one Control Point and one Renderer. It is not designed to handle multiple Control Points issuing possibly conflicting commands to the same renderer.
