Playing goes into Current Playlist when playlist is empty
Last modified: 2009-10-05 14:28:40 UTC
When the current playlist is empty, playing anything (tested with My Music, internet radio and Pandora) takes you to the Current Playlist screen instead of into Now Playing. When the playlist contains at least one item, it correctly brings up Now Playing.
Weldon: what is the proper behavior in these 2 cases? should it take you to Now Playing or Current Playlist?
Jim, trying to understand your use case here? If the current playlist is empty, then selecting something to "play" adds it to the playlist, right? (Therefore the current playlist will no longer be empty)? Having said that, the correct behavior is to ALWAYS take the user to the now playing screen when they play something "new". 2 NOTABLE exceptions: - the user is viewing the "current playlist" - the user is "unpausing" something that is currently paused.

(Therefore the current playlist will no longer be empty)? Correct. This should be very easy to reproduce: 1. Clear the playlist. 2. Browse My Music, play something. You're taken to the Current Playlist. 3. Browse My Music again, play something. You're taken to Now Playing.
Thanks Jim. Yup, def. a bug. Please see comment 2 for correct/desired behavior...
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #7268 to the jive repo by bklaas == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/jive?view=revision&revision=7268 == Fixed Bug: 13676 Description: have NP delay 1 second when new playerstatus hasn't returned yet and check again for playlist_tracks > 0 before punting to the playlist window
Obviously I haven't seen this change yet, but why "punt" to the Current Playlist? Now Playing should be viewable when the playlist is empty.
The window handling an empty playlist needs to be managed by SlimBrowser, not NowPlaying. That's the current playlist window, and it displays a special case when the playlist is empty.
