Hi all,
one of the xbmcs I set up is used as an headless audio player which I remotely control via ipad's XBMC Official Remote, everything works great except an annoying thing: when I play streams from the radio plugin (or any source not always available) it can happen that those streams are unavailable at that time, this causes the alert "too many consecutive failed items", that's blocking and waiting for an input, since I cannot see what's on the screen, I selected another radio station or tried the same station more than once, but this causes the XBMC Remote to disconnect (actually the XBMC seems unresponsive via remotes), then I had to attach a keyboard and a monitor and press OK on the warning screen that finally closes giving me back the chance to remotely control the player (not always, some time I have to reboot xbmc).
I think that this behaviour has something to do with that waiting nag screen, if I could disable it from advanced settings or make it just one of those alerts that disappears after some time, I think that this won't be a problem anymore, as it is by now in Confluence it a bit too intrusive, needing an answer or risking to be locked out from the remote control.
I even tried to add the playlistretries to advancedsettings.xml, both trying the value 0 or value -1, but the nag alert appears at some point:
Here is one of the errors, I don't think it could be useful, since it's ok that after a timeout curl or the omxplayer give up trying, I think that's just too invasive the way XBMC reports this.
Thank you for the help.
