What I would suggest is that I push this version to the beta download on Github and if possible if you can test using that version, then if you still have issues I will look at the log files.
The songcast code is ready to be tried, but I was doing some work on the web pages adding a lyric page, so that is not quite ready yet so if you ignore that part for now..

I will let you know when the code is ready to be downloaded, it should only be a couple of days..

Hi,

I've just pushed a beta version to GitHub, it can be downloaded from here Beta Version

I've done a quick document that details the changes and also lists the config options used for this version Beta Doc

I have updated a few of the jar files so I would recommend that you do the following to update:

Stop mediaplayer
Delete the mediaplayer directory
Copy the new mediaplayer directory to the raspi
Edit the app.properties file
Start mediaplayer

The Songcast code should be fully working, but some of the webpages are not yet complete, so if you can test the Songcast code and let me know if you have the same problem.

Whilst testing it might be worth setting the 'log_file_level' to be 'debug' in the app.properties
log_file_level=debug

Let me know how it goes,

Pete.
