It's a bit difficult to explain but ill try

1) MCE remote has 2 buttons PLAY and OK

PLAY adds mp3 to Playlist and jumps to Playlist for me

OK just plays mp3.

in PLAYING NOW, when I play a mp3 using the OK button, the sugestions which are scrobbled are not added to the playlist ( logical because the mp3 scrobbled is not in the playlist

In PLAYING NOW, when I play a mp3 using the PLAY button, the sugestions which are scrobbled are added to the playlist.

sugestion:

when entering PLAYING NOW, add current file to playlist, to solve the problem

Maybe i dont get you right, but when PLAY ist working, why not change your remote mapping?

Hi,
I think i know what you mean & yes when hitting "Play" the song it's added to playlist & "Now Playing" it's opened & when you hit other tracks they're added to playlist as "Next" song & played as next song.

When using "OK" the song starts playing & when you go into "Now Playing" the "Next" song it's the next in the folder & not next on playlist. Then when you hit other tracks, they're added to playlist but not played (because you're playing from folder).

Dunno if this is a bug or not, because I use the play in folder allot & actually like the behaviour, but will discuss this with rtv, hopefully in not to long time.

Regards
Roy

yeah, ronilse is right. The behaviour is desired as it is.

No Playlist, lazy hitting "select" = nothing happens
Playlist but not using it = enqueue to playlist but go on with next "share" track
Using Playlist = enqueue next.

I think about adding a config option to choose between enqueue <-> add


All of you are right - the current behaviour might seem strange to people not familar with MP/ MyMusic and having the habit to just "select" items instead of pressing "play"

Maybe I should deactivate the feature completely when there's no playlist available (not even an empty one).

Yes , rtv i think there a two options

1 disable the suggestions when OK is pressed ( dont like it)
2 add the current file to the playlist and the sugested song.

So if a sugested song is chose in Playing now the playlist play kicks in. I think this behavour is more consistend. If u want to listen to 1 album dont choose a sugested song. I you do choose a scrobbled sugestion, MP changes the play to playlist play
