Full Version: Systray Text isn't updated on SHOUTCast streams

I love the fact that with 0.6x SHOUTCast titles are now displayed.
The title is updated when a new song is played in the titlebar/playlist/status bar, but not in the systray. Is this my fault? Or does this not work for anyone else either? This is the text I have in my "Display -> Title Formatting -> System Tray" tab of Prefs:

$if(%title%, %artist% - %title%)
Apach
try this code

CODE
$if(%artist% - %title%,%artist% - %title%,%_filename_ext%)

No it doesn't work.

It works fine whenever it's not a SHOUTCast stream, however since SHOUTCast streams are continous I am guessing that is
why the Systray Title isn't being updated.

Maybe add extra handling for this (specifically to the systray) when the stream-name changes?

I know Peter is already handling it because it updates everywhere else on the main window.

Tooltip text is only updated on song change. I assume the same goes for the balloon tooltip popping up only at the start of the stream.

Just to add another suggestion if Peter's going to look at altering the way the tooltip/balloon text comes up - I'd really like to be able to see how far through a track I am just by hovering over the FooBar systray icon - I listen to a lot of mixed MP3s, shoutcast streams etc, and I'm just too damned lazy to open up the main window to see whereabouts I am.wink.gif

On a related note, I'm going to start another thread about another potential feature that would benefit those of us that listen to very long or mixed tracks.

Cheers, and thanks for supporting such a fantastic player,
