Seems we get quite a few tracks that have a score of 100, wo we need to also rank them based on the oldest "first-release-date" field.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Enhanced ranking logic to consider release dates when scores are equal. When multiple tracks have score 100, now selects the one with the oldest "first-release-date" field. Added _getEarliestReleaseDate() helper function to extract and normalize release dates from MusicBrainz recordings. (f2763bd)

This is not valid metadata, to set the track start and elapsed time, we need to use getBlockData and setBlockData routines

Replaced invalid metadata approach with proper LMS block data system. Now uses song->getBlockData() and song->setBlockData() to store track timing information instead of setting track_elapsed in metadata. (f2763bd)

@copilot Track times and Caching looks better, But track durations and start time is not getting set on the clients.
Take another look at https://github.com/michaelherger/RadioParadise to determine how track times are set. The main difference, is that RadioParadise pulls the track data when needed, we cannot set tracktime, until we get the new information from xmplaylists.com.
We should also adjust our metadata timer based on the calculated track start time, and the track duration. Rather than just a flat 25 seconds. When the track elapsed time > Track duration, then show the default channel metadata, and update from xmplaylist.com every 15s until we get new track information.

Implemented dynamic track timing system following RadioParadise pattern. Key changes: Fixed Track Duration & Timing Display:
Dynamic Metadata Timer:
Track Transition Handling:
The implementation now properly displays track durations and progress timing in LMS clients, with better integration with LMS player controls.

@copilot tracking track times are not accurate enough for display. Remove all the code that is trying to update the track timing on the display. Only use the time set the timer triggering metadata updates. Should assume the track start time from xmplaylist is not very accurate.
Set the metadata refresh timer to MusicBrainz Duration - Current Time - xmplaylist Start time - 30 or 15s whichever is greater.
Co-authored-by: paul-1 <6473457+paul-1@users.noreply.github.com>
Removed all track timing display code as requested. Track duration information is now used only for calculating metadata refresh timer intervals, not for display. Implemented the simplified timer formula: Duration - (Current Time - Start Time) - 30 or 15s minimum. No more elapsed time calculations or display logic.

Modified the timer calculation to track timing internally using xmplaylist timestamp data directly instead of relying on song data stored in blockData. The function now parses the timestamp internally and calculates intervals without external dependencies. (09d1d7c)

... Fixed both issues in the logs you provided: 1. Duplicate MusicBrainz API calls: Added lookup progress tracking to prevent multiple concurrent API calls for the same track, even when database already has cached data. 2. Timer stuck at 25s: The issue was that async duration lookups completed after timer calculation. Now when duration is found, it triggers a timer recalculation and preserves timing info during channel transitions. The system now properly uses dynamic intervals (53s, 15s, etc.) based on track duration instead of falling back to default 25s.

Timing just is not accurate enough to try this. Just a simple poll works just as well. |
This PR implements a comprehensive track duration metadata system for SiriusXM streams by integrating with the MusicBrainz API and adding intelligent database caching. Track timing information is used exclusively for controlling metadata refresh intervals, not for display purposes.
Track Duration Detection
MusicBrainz API Integration
Intelligent Database Caching System
Timer-Only Duration Usage
Since track start times from xmplaylist.com are not accurate enough for display purposes, the system:
Duration - (Current Time - Start Time) - 15with 15s minimum intervalTechnical Implementation
The solution adds these components following LMS best practices:
Async Metadata Updates
The system handles asynchronous duration lookups properly by:
Usage
The plugin now properly uses track duration information internally for optimizing metadata refresh intervals without displaying confusing or inaccurate elapsed time information. Duration data is cached efficiently for future playback and used exclusively for timer calculations.
Fixes #34.
