Buster Sideshow Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Why doesnt sl viewer 2.xx have the ability to announce songs that are playing on land? Every third party viewer out there seems to have this capibility...and its quite a nice feature.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 it can be done by script... I wasn't aware that TPVs where doing that... which ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyCreations1488303085 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I can verify that Kirstens does display song titles. That's the main reason I installed it. Not sure why LL hasn't implemented it into their viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Void Singer Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 at a guess I'd say it's because not streams make it readily available or even use the same format to do it, or even do it at all. LL probably wanted to avoid the trouble of "itz broken" accusations when it was actually a problem with the stream provider. (as you can probably tell I don't listen to many land streams, I tend to use external players) I'm curious if anyone knows if the viewers that support it are are pulling the data from the stream, or are hitting default announcement pages. if it's the former, I'd think that LL probably should incorporate that, if it's the latter I can see why they wouldn't (extra an agressive hits to the status page to be timely). the difference should be easy to tell, the first method will pop up the song names just before a new song plays(literally in between the songs), the second will have a delay that cause it to usually delay after the song starts by a little bit.

Not sure how it works, but the other viewers have it. Seems like a lot of the features that these TPV's have, have been incorporated into the sl 2.xx viewer, would be nice to see this one in there as well!

LuckyCreations1488303085 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'm not exactly sure how that all works either, but after reading what you said, I believe it would be the former. I just took a look at Kirstens, and the song title displayed just before it started playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
