.XML Nowplaying shows jingle and sweepers

Hello!

I tried to fix the now playing with an XML file. I used the default template for this (Serial Template). Under 'Stream Titles', I removed all values by jingles and sweepers. The field is empty. But the file is also showing now playing when I play a jingle or sweeper.

Any idea how to fix this?

If the template is this:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<NewDataSet>
  <Settings>
    <Key>Artist</Key>
    <Value>$artist$</Value>
  </Settings>
  <Settings>
    <Key>Title</Key>
    <Value>$title$</Value>
  </Settings>
  <Settings>
    <Key>Duration</Key>
    <Value>$duration$</Value>
  </Settings>
</NewDataSet>


that's the problem, since it specifically requests the artist/title and duration for the playing track, disregarding the title you enter in the file types.

The fix is to use a template with the only value of "$autotitle$" and then in your options "file type titles" to add fields you need.
