slimserver 6.5.1 10498

adding/playing tracks with button "play" on remote does not work as expected.

Select "Menu Browse -> Artists -> Amanda Marshall" and press play
>>current playlist cleared, all songs from "Amanda Marshall" are added, first song plays

Select "Menu Browse -> Artists -> Amanda Marshall -> Tuesday's child" and press play
>>current playlist cleared, all songs from album "Tuesday's child" are added, first song of album plays

Select "Menu Browse -> Artists -> Amanda Marshall -> Tuesday's child -> 1. Believe in you" and press play
>>current playlist cleared, all songs from album "Tuesday's child" are added, selected song of album plays

In the last case, the correct behaviour should be (similar to button "add"):
clear current playlist, add selected song to playlist (not entire album!), play playlist.

This is not a bug.  It is a preference. See server settings->behavior. By default, pressing play on a song within a folder or album will play the entire folder or album from that song.  You can change this setting to only play the chosen song.  This only affects the PLAY button.
