[BUG] Now Playing infers episodes incorrectly from media players' playlists

Open BinToss opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Duplicate of #628, #677, #699


F.Y.I I'm using PotPlayer which Taiga has been having issues with lately. Namely, PotPlayer's Window Title would update to represent the currently playing file/episode, but Taiga still thinks it's playing the file passed to the player via command line arguments even after restarting Taiga.

  • PotPlayer 64-bit 210318 (1.7.21468)
    • built-in skin (custom/hidden Window Title Bar, but the Window Title is updated regardless)
  • Taiga 1.4.0-beta.2

This might just be the same issue as #628, #677 and #699.

It could also be something specific to PotPlayer, but I couldn't reproduce the issue with a fresh install (1.7.21564).

Does it happen all the time, or only with some specific files?

The issues occurs with any file recognized by Taiga under certain conditions:

  1. Taiga always behaves as intended during the first playback in a playlist. This can be any item in a playlist as long as PotPlayer hasn't attempted to open and load another file.
  2. Everything after the first played item is detected incorrectly. If an episode is detected correctly, it's probably by chance.

Also of import, Taiga's detection may update several minutes into an episode. This inference suffers from condition 2's inaccuracy. Is this refresh controlled by a timer?


This issue does seem to be identical to the issues you linked.
