|
When you listen to the stream in Windows Media Player, it is supposed to refresh the album and track information as the playlist progresses. However, when the Station Identification plays, the refresh stops and stays on the "The music will return in a moment" dialog. What can we do?

I have noticed the same thing. Only workaround I have found is to navigate away from the station and reload... I hope there's a better solution.

This happens to me. too. Any idea what caused it/how to fix it? It's fairly recent bug, perhaps just a week or two old...
What happens on my Firefox browser is that I get the SST logo, it goes away... and nothing replaces it!

My firefox behaves itself. Refreshes fine. Check for updates.

This is off-topic from your question but I was wondering if you could post a screenshot of your WMP with the info window. I'm curious what it's supposed to look like. Thanks.
Anyone? |

I use Windows Media Player and all I find is :
click on "library", then on "now playing" again and there it is.
Hope that helps

This problem has already been reported in the past... It might be a regression.
The integrated browser in WMP is not very smart, you know... It doesn't handle dynamic events well

Thanks Alch, you saved me the trouble of tracking down my old post.
This is neither a new bug nor a regression. This has been happening consistently at least since I started listening via WMP about two years ago. I agree with Alch that it's probably a WMP thing. For example, the very cool google gadget made by stefan_nl refreshes wonderfully.
