Dynamic mode skipping tracks?
-
I use smart playlists a lot and have noticed that with tracks being added dynamically as the playlist is played that tracks which satisfy the conditions aren't included when I expect. I normally sort by last played time in an attempt to get an album play list feature. Typically I see every other track within that album being added. I then have to manually insert the missing tracks. If I edit that smart playlist and view the tracks the order is correct and the tracks I wanted aren't missing from that list, and creating a new playlist from it, is again correct.
Having the correct order is very useful if you are listening to 'classical' albums - I listen a lot to song cycles which tell a story so having the right order is important.
Is the skipping in dynamic mode a feature - let's have some variety - or is this a bug? -
@rajm
It could be a bug, it could be that the smart playlist is not correctly loaded from the config.
What exact criteria do you use for the last played? Just the last played time? -
@jonas Yes I use the last played time (oldest first), fwiw the actual search criteria is here https://imgur.com/a/M5AbzAR (far too complicated!) as I wrote when it skips in the albums I'm thinking of all the tracks satisfy those criteria and on the next edit page are shown sequentially just when they appear on the playlist due to dynamic mode being set, some tracks get skipped.
