S6 show player support for MIIP

@MattBrown  In this thread you said pertaining to MIIP.

Testing needed. If it's not working, we would be open to adding an API to modify show order rather than MIIP rewriting and the Show Player having to reread the LSS file.

The S6 testing we have done with MIIP has failed.     The current S4/5 method is to completely recreate the  miipshow.lss with the songs in the new order as determined on the miip server by the votes and the last time played in its database.    S5 Show player detects the change, begins shutdown,  and restarts with the first sequence.   For MIIP, this loop occurs for every sequence played. In normal operation, only the first song of the .lss is played.   If the show computer loses its internet connection, miip does not replace the .lss which allows the show to continue normal rotation to the next song until connection is restored.

 

We do need your assistance for S6 Matt.   It would be wonderful if you could provide a method to change the pointer to the next song to play.   

There is no need to reorder the entire playlist.    MIIP will always know the full sequence list because it will still create .lss one time before show hours.  During the show, it polls for votes, determines the next sequence, then it would be fantastic to instruct the player to advance to a sequence after completion of the currently playing one. 

Please PM me if you want to discuss.   Thank you for your support.

Please work with Bob to get MIIP working or incorporate it's feature. I use MIIP as part of my show and now I'm unable to, do to the S6 upgrade. I'd like to stay on S6 and not have to downgrade back to S5

A big thank you to Bob for trying to get this working. For a couple of reasons, I did not plan to move to S6 this year anyway but it would have been nice if it was an option.

Any updates to the status for S6 and Miip playing nicely together?

 

Thanks

Am also wondering about this, because I wrote my own custom service to dynamically set the .lss file.  Unfortunately, I'm using some RGBW lights in my display this year, so I can't revert to S5.
