Hi Malcolm,
Just playing with this driving a xAP audio player. To do this I
have written a xap-audio conduit for WinAMP, one that I hope will
eventually handle multiple WinAMP instances on one machine for multizone
audio. The conduit is mostly done so I'm debugging this against your xAP
audio player 'beta' which is an unusual situation to be in.
What is happening at the moment is that TelCanto is cycling through
the playlist and changing the track WinAMP is playing every 5 seconds
with a <new filepath> "play" command . I assume this is
because it is
not seeing the expected response from WinAMP via the xap-audio schema
and hence is assuming it's failed to play. This ties in with the fact
the elapsed time displayed in TelCanto always shows 00:00 but TelCanto
shows 'playing' I'm not quite sure what is different between what I
send and what you look for so here below is what I respond with (every
second), I do have different shuffle/repeat values currently and some
additional paramaters but I don't expect that's the issue. Could you
give me a little run down on how the xAP instructions/response sequence
proceeds so that I can narrow down where it is failing. ie what
paramaters you recover and act upon both from the transport and playlist
events. Also do you just drive the player with commands as one track
ends and the next starts or do you use the playlist queue at all for
your sequencing ? I believe when driving WinAMP directly you queue 1
track at all times I think...
I'm actually now going to install a second TelCanto and drive one
from the other as I may then be able to see the xAP information exchange
and delve further. This marriage of UPnP Renderer / Server and xAP will
be a fantastic prospect - really enthused here with what you're doing
with TelCanto.
