Bugzilla – Bug 17293
Fast navigation in artist/album browsing no longer possible
Last modified: 2011-06-29 10:43:58 UTC
I am running the squeezebox server version 7.6 with the SB classic firmware 136. I have noticed that it is no longer to move quickly in the artists/albums browse lists by pressing the numeric buttons on the remote control. In previous versions it was possible to press, e.g. the numeric button 5 twice and arrive at the first artist with a name starting with K or the first album with a name starting with K. This no longer works. Trying to use this quick navigation now will bring seemingly inconsisent results. I expect this has to do with the onebrowser implementation. I hope this is not one of the functionalities that will be removed as mentioned in the 7.6 change log (http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.6/trunk/server/Changelog7.html).
I've just tried this on both a Transporter and an SB2. It tries to do something, but it's very buggy. It usually does jump to artists or albums with the desired starting letter, but that artist or album is often (or possibly always) NOT the one that's first within that letter. Also, I see some letters are skipped completely. As an example, browsing artists, if I press the WXYZ key, I get - Widespread Panic, which should be 'Rufus Wainwright' - ZZ Top, which should be 'Frank Zappa' It never pulls up anything for Y, which should be 'Yes'. I also see it sometimes pulling up 'Johnny A.', which is the first artist under 'A'. It does this for all buttons. It works correctly on the Touch (SqueezePlay).
To the original bug reporter - please change the following, or this bug may not be addressed for 7.6: Product: SB Server Component: Player UI Version: 7.6.0 Platform: All
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #32566 to the slim repo by adrian == == http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revision&revision=32566 == Bug: 17293 Description: if textkey exists use these for numberscroll in button mode interface as the list has already been sorted in this order and using the name/values of the list results in inconsitent numberscroll skipping
This is fixed. Thanks!
