Exclude from Title Update

Post by hdradio »

I have set to exclude from Song Title Updates all items except Music.
But I still see advertisements titles in my stream player (xmplay).

What am I doing wrong ?

Do these advertisement tracks do derive from played Overlay entries (Overlay Player)?
If yes, this might be the reason, as currently the Overlay Player use their own settings (see the overlay scheduler entry, 'Title Updates').
If set to 'Use TrackName', this currently does ignore the general streaming settings and always updates the song titles.
So currently you must also set the overlay entry 'Title Updates' accordingly, e.g. to 'No Title Updates' for advert overlays.

However, while thinking about it; I might also change that in a future release, so that when 'Use TrackName' is selected in an overlay entry, that in this case the general streaming song title update logic will apply (like for playlist entries). This would even mean, that those overlay entries are added to the global playback history (which is also currently not the case).
