I think that’s an intended feature, at least if you have set "Hide Metadata from Listeners ("Jingle Mode")" in a playlist, say, the station id playlist. It should show the jingles if this is not set.

yes, i agree, but it ahve to keep showing the song that played previously, and not one that played 1 or 3 songs ago. let me show you with a more consistent example. imagine you have playing the 1.mp3, 2.mp3, and 3.mp3. you play 1.mp3, play gingle, play 2.mp3. in the gingle before playing 3.mp3, im nowplaying it starts to show that is playing ,1.mp3 during the gingle playback, and not continue to show 2.mp3. it shows 1.mp3 during the jingle playback, and after plays and shows 3.mp3, that is correct.

Hm. Works here, or maybe I completely misunderstand you. For a try, I unset "Hide Metadata from Listeners ("Jingle Mode")" in my Station ID playlist, and waited until it hit in:

It played (and showed)

• "It’s Not Easy"
• "On The Air" (the jingle)
• "Panama-Boy"

When I set "Hide Metadata from Listeners ("Jingle Mode")" in my Station ID playlist, it only shows

• "It’s Not Easy"
• (no update while the jingle plays, "On The Air" not shown)
• "Panama-Boy"

So the latter one is like what you experience.

      exactly. sorry for my english and if i was not so clear. but i think we can understand each oter now. the problem is not inmediately after you check the box, but 1 or 2 songs after it... i remember in the first times i used azuracast i reported same bug and it was fixed, i think a year or two ago, but it came back.

[Moonbase59]

I still don’t understand—it is exactly as it should be: If I tell it to omit the jingle metadata, it does. And vice versa.

[nunotfc]

ahaa, i cant explain more... the bug is not with jingle mode... the bug is with now playing. when you are with jingle mode checked, instead of omiting the data, after the 2nd or 3rd song, sometimes, not forever, it shows a previous played song... if, for example, you play a song called "my love", and after you play a song called "lets go". with 1 jingle separating them. and you play a 3rd song called for example "good times". When the gingles that go from the "lets go" song to the "good times", instead of omiting data or continuing showing the "lets go"title, during the jingle selected to play it show s like "my love" song played other time, and, indeed, is just the jingle... i hope i can clarify more...

Ah, I think I grasp it now… Seems a possible bug indeed, probably some timing or race condition.

[Moonbase59]

Are the jingles extremely short (a few seconds only)? You could try using longer jingles for a test, and see if it still happens then. Just in case it has something to do with crossfading and Liquidsoap not being fast enough or something…

[nunotfc]

right, all my jingles are like 2 or 3 secconds. in rare cases, 1.
