Playlists will not played in order as stored
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:39:24 UTC
A stored playlist will not played or shown in order as the original stored playlist. It will be sorted (and played) in alphapetic sort order! Example: original stored playlist: M:\Music\7809650a_01.flac M:\Music\7809650a_02.flac M:\Music\7809650a_03.flac M:\Music\7809650a_04.flac M:\Music\7809650a_05.flac M:\Music\7809650a_06.flac M:\Music\7809650a_07.flac M:\Music\7809650a_08.flac M:\Music\7809650a_09.flac M:\Music\7809650a_10.flac M:\Music\2804d604_02.flac M:\Music\2804d604_03.flac M:\Music\2804d604_04.flac M:\Music\26042304_02.flac M:\Music\26042304_03.flac M:\Music\26042304_04.flac Playlist in SlimServer (Web Interface or Player): M:\Music\26042304_02.flac ---> it was position 14 M:\Music\26042304_03.flac M:\Music\26042304_04.flac M:\Music\2804d604_02.flac ---> it was position 11 M:\Music\2804d604_03.flac M:\Music\2804d604_04.flac M:\Music\7809650a_01.flac ---> it was position 1 M:\Music\7809650a_02.flac M:\Music\7809650a_03.flac M:\Music\7809650a_04.flac M:\Music\7809650a_05.flac M:\Music\7809650a_06.flac M:\Music\7809650a_07.flac M:\Music\7809650a_08.flac M:\Music\7809650a_09.flac M:\Music\7809650a_10.flac SlimServer Version: 6.5b1 - 8453 - Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Regards, Jens
seems to work for me. Do you have shuffle on? Are you playing from web or player UI? turning off the preset target until chris can review. severity also seem to miss criteria for critical, tho it is still major without any verified workaround
If it exists, it needs to be fixed for 6.5, but I also can't seem to reproduce. Are these iTunes playlists? Playlists created by Slimserver? Other programs?
Hi, Playlist was made with an external program (MP3Tag) and works perfect with Slimserver 6.3.x and older 6.5.x. versions (and still foobar2000). In the playlist you will only see what I have postet at the begin of this report. iTunes is complet deactivated at my system. No shuffel on, ro repeat, tried to reproduce with success on a brand new system (never Slimsever installed befor). The same problem I can reproduce on 2 another systems (using mp3 instad flac). Doesn't matter if you start the playlist from UI or direct from the Squeezbox 3. Jens
Not sure why I wasn't able to reproduce before. There seems to be a powerful force somewhere in the playlist code which organizes tracks alphabetically by filename. You can save a playlist, and it will have sorted the tracks by filename, regardless of the order listed in slimserver. This could be be design, I don't know. Also, you can then edit the (sorted) .m3u file, and reorder the tracks there. When you browse to that playlist and begin playing it, the tracks will have returned to alphabetical order (by filename). I looked at the .m3u file again just to see if I had forgotten to save my changes, but it was still in my contrived order there.
