I see the Now Playing tab up and running. Did anyone make a request to see if it works?

It still sticks.
I really have no idea how to fix that. Especially if it's a PHP issue.

There are a couple of reasons for this:

1. Multiple Remote Sessions
Every new session on the server starts a new instance of the broadcasting software and a new instance of the software that synchronises the broadcasting software and the web information. These instances then fight with each other as to what is currently playing and what will be playing next. There's also the possibility that one instance may disconnect the other stream.

The likelyhood of this occuring in future should be reduced as I've sent a message to our Playlist Managers advising how to connect around this.


2. Software Issue
The software we are using to update the web information is still in beta phase, even this far down the line. It has a tendancy to stop responding on random occasions. It usually sorts itself out but it may take a track or two for that to happen.


After running the updates last night, I had left it in a working state. If it goes down again, just leave another reply below and I'll, or one of the Playlist Managers, will take a look.
Long time lurker and sometimes chief assistant. More the former.

This was never an issue before though.
Hmm, too many reasons to state any right now.

People need to make sure they login as root (or console if on Mac), someone keeps logging in as a new session.
GAME OVER, YEAH!

Why can unregistered people make requests now?

I thought Gavvie fixed that so Unregistered people couldn't request unless they go and register on the forums.

We turned unregistered requests off a little while ago. Thing is, I think they're able to make requests via URL links, and there's not really anything we can do about that.

Except perhaps take the songs they're requesting OFF the playlist and then put them back ON, thus making the URLs expire.

Course, that's if they keep requesting the same songs over and over.

Doesn't appear to be the same songs.
So... okay then.

Honestly, if I had any other ideas as to how they can do it, I'd share them. They shouldn't be able to, though XD
