Description Ben Klaas 2008-07-01 11:34:10 UTC

On both playerUI and jiveUI, hitting play on Artist/Album/Genre items in Trackinfo does not result in the item playing.

Comment 1 Ben Klaas 2008-07-01 11:35:38 UTC

I should note, webUI IMO is in good shape here. Those items are presented as links, and the links work as desired.

Comment 3 Michael Herger 2008-07-01 12:56:28 UTC

Just to be sure I understand what's wrong here (because you can't hit Play for a track's album in the web UI): you're in a trackinfo mode and want to play eg. all albums by this track's artist by hitting PLAY on the artist item? Did this work before (never used it)?

Comment 4 Ben Klaas 2008-07-01 13:18:22 UTC

That's the way it used to work when songinfoQuery was used for local track info

Comment 5 Max Spicer 2008-07-01 13:42:58 UTC

Absolutely.  I rely on it quite often as I don't have play other tracks in album selected.

The general principle is that whenever something is displayed that could conceivably be played or added, play/add should work on that item.  That's how it's always worked.  I think I even read it in the ui guidelines somewhere.  ;-)

Playing items from player's UI

According to Andy "so ugly", but he doesn't "know if we have a choice".

Comment 7 Ben Klaas 2008-07-02 13:21:49 UTC

I just checked this issue against a current 7.1 SC and 7.1 jive, and the jiveUI works fine for this...not sure what changed or why it didn't work before, but it's fine now.

PlayerUI is still broken. Andy, I'm going to assign this one your way to review Michael's patch. Pending approval, either checkin the patch or pass this on to Michael.

Comment 8 Andy Grundman 2008-07-06 16:19:28 UTC

Patch applied as 7.1 change 21542.

Reduce number of active targets for SC
