xPLRioNet - Details of next release

["Tony Tofts" <tony@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Version 3.6d of xPLRioNet will be published tomorrow evening sometime.
Fixes/Changes are as follows:

Fix for crash caused by pressing skip in quick succession

The TTS changes described in a previous post (final details of the changes
will be posted tomorrow).

Due to tts causing issues with synch/shoutcasts etc a new rio.bin will also
be published that uses double-buffering, instead of flushing the current
mp3
data.

Basically it has a buffer for the mp3 stream and a buffer for the tts
stream. As soon as sufficient tts data is available it will start playing
the tts, and then resume playing the mp3 stream with no loss of mp3 data
(so
in effect it pauses the mp3 stream).

This means synch should not be effected by tts, and shoutcast connections
will not be lost by tts usage (caused by buffer running too low).

Exstreamer and Slimp3 users should see improvements in the TTS support too.

Broadcast (i.e.  target=*) tts.basic messages will now be actioned (if
ttsenabled=y in xplrionet.xml)

xPLRioNetTTS has various improvements to support xPLRioNet and now uses the
default voice in the xpl configuration where no voice is specified.

Issues with synchronisation of the Rio's will be addressed in v3.6e,
hopefully this weekend too.

Regards
Tony
