Bugzilla – Bug 1238
removing songs from playlist with add button can be annoying
Last modified: 2008-08-18 10:54:16 UTC
when you press + to remove the song from the playlist, it bumps you back up to the currently playing song in Now Playing... it's annoying because if you want to do remove 2 songs in a row, you have to press + on the remote, then scroll all the way back down to where you were and press it again. would be much nicer to just go to the next song once you've removed the song you're on.
I know what the problem is there Command::execute calls refreshPlaylist at the end if the playlist is modified. This sets the display to the current song, after the removeTrack as properly positioned the display at the next song. working on a fix.
Created attachment 513 [details] refreash playlist with better intelligence on going to now playing there is a lot here for what seemed a simple problem. the refresh playlist function would tend to jump to the now playing song, so a bit more brain were needed in order to determine if playlist was showing now playing or browsing. showingnowplaying now stores the former value, and compares with current state. This way, watching now playing will update because the former state was showing now playing. Browsing up or down clears the former state, so a song change, add, or delete wont force a jump to the current song.
committed to 6.1 at change 3169 please test out and re-open if there is an issue.
this is way better now.
This bug was marked resolved in Slimserver 6.1, which is several versions ago. If you're still seeing this bug, please re-open it. Thanks!
