Could someone just confirm this please?
Happens on HTPC and my test PC.

[chemelli]

on a clean install I cannot reproduce.

Thanks for testing, chemelli.
Very strange, as this happens with both my computers: HTPC (a few week old install) and other PC (old install).

So your view mode is keept you left it? Mine is using shares. Tried with other skin (B2). Same result. Going form View: Albums/artist etc. --> no playing playlist --> home --> music : vied in "shares" mode

[chemelli]

I'm on SVN 18394 using B2wide skin, and yes the view is keept as I left it.

OK.
I did a clean install + latest SVN.
Same problem

Doing exactly:
1. Starting MP
2. Entering MyMusic "Switch view" to "Artist"
3. Going to a song -> hitting "p" (play)
4. Going to "current playlist"
5. Hitting "h" (home)
6. Entering "My Music" - in Shares

Strange.

Anybody else who can reproduce?

Hi,
Can't confirm this either.
Need some more info.
In MP config Misc Settings, what is Now Playing(jump on playing) set to?
Is Share View default view?
Are all music in db?
In Music Folders, is remember last used folder selected?
How is the music lokated(navigation tree(Music -> Artist -> Album))?

Regards
Roy

Hi - thanks for testing (both of you!)

In MP config Misc Settings, what is Now Playing(jump on playing) set to?
- Current playlist (allways)

Is Share View default view?
- Eh ... I think not . How does one select default view? Nothing in wiki - or setup - about this. It starts up with "Artist" view on one computer and albumartist on another.

Are all music in db?
- Yes. Tried with only one album. Same result.

In Music Folders, is remember last used folder selected?
- No. Tried "Yes" - same result

How is the music lokated(navigation tree(Music -> Artist -> Album))?
- You mean like E:\Ny musikk\Arctic Monkeys\Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
(this is the only folder added @ test PC ATM.)
- If you mean view org.: default. tried w and wo gouping


I can't believe this ... on both machines - no matter what selections done in config.

Hi,
Tested with one album & here you need to have set AlbumArtist or Album before you start up MP

Howto:
Set Jump on playing to playlist(always).

1. Start MP
2. Entering MyMusic "Switch view" to "Artist"
3. Exit to home & close MP (had to do 1-3 before it started to happen here the first time)
4. Start MP again
5. Entering MyMusic open a arist & album
6. Goto a song -> hitting "p" (play)
7. "current playlist" shows
8. Hitting "h" (home)
9. Entering "My Music" again & shares view it's shown

So this is confirmed?
GREAT! Was going nuts, since it happened with both computers. Even after fresh install.

Thank you very much for the follow up!

Tested with one album & here you need to have set AlbumArtist or Album before you start up (MP

Not @ home no (work ), but I think Artist also makes this happen. Note sure)
