...and there you have it.  User Error.  By pressing play while All
Songs is showing on the SB3 display, all songs, do indeed, play.

In my defense, this is somewhat inconsistent from a UI standpoint. When
scrolling from Music Library to Artist to Album to the first song
in the album list before pressing play does NOT simply play the first
song, but rather the whole album.

Why make the behavior different in the All Songs function?

Regardless, the feature now works as I would expect by simply pressing
play one step earlier than I had been doing in the past.

Not quite... ;)

On the SB3: Power On  Music Library  Artist  Artist Name  All
Songs

This gets me the first song only (which repeats if I have the repeat
playlist option activated).  I can scroll through the playlist and it
shows the additional songs from the chosen artist on the SB3, but will
only play the first one.

If, however, I pull up SqueezeCenter and check the playlist for the
SB3, it only shows the first song in the playlist (without any of the
additional songs.

If I populate the playlist for the SB3 in SqueezeCenter using the all
songs button, the playlist populates correctly and plays on the SB3
correctly.

The major downside to this is that I have 2 SB3s on the top floor of my
home and the PC housing my media and running SC is in the basement.

Why won't choosing the All Songs option from the SB3 populate the
playlist correctly in SC?

Is that any more clear?

What are you pressing Play on? If I press Play on the words All Songs
then I get what you expect, it queues up all the tracks and that
appears both on the SB3 in Now Playing and on SC7. If, however, I press
Play on the first track (i.e. I press right from All Songs and then
press Play) it only plays that first track. 

What I can't reproduce is the different playlists between SB3 and SC -
my only guess here is that you're confusing the list of songs shown
under All Songs and the actual Now Playing list? What do you see if you
press Now Playing after Play?

Maybe a long shot, but worth a try:

In the music library tab, there is a setting to list all songs for an
album or artist, or only limiting these.. my guess is that if you limit
it to a genre, and you happen to browse to your artists or albums based
on the genre, and the genre of the first song on the album is different
to the other songs, then this might occur...

note the number of assumptions made :)

Made the changes to no avail...

Additional observations: When choosing the All Songs from the album
list and then scrolling in the Now Playing list on the SB3, all the
songs appear to be there.  If, however, I check the player in question
in the SqueezeCenter interface, it shows only the first song from the
list in the playlist...

Why isn't SqueezeCenter loading All Songs and choosing only the first
one?

Anyone?  Help?

[slim] Selecting All Songs in the album list only plays the first song (repeatedly)...

2008-09-29 Thread Hobejam

This has been an ongoing glitch since I first purchased my SB3.  None of
the SlimServer / SqueezeCenter upgrades have fixed it, nor has reading
the manual.

What would cause only the first song to play when choosing All Songs
from the album list within any artist?  I can scroll through the list
of songs and they are all there, but when I hit play I either get the
first song repeated indefinitely (if repeating the playlist) or it plays
the first song and stops (if not repeating the playlist).

What am I doing wrong?

If you go to the Settings screen in the SC7 web interface and select the
Player tab, and then select Basic Settings from the drop down you
should see a setting near the bottom  of the page for Play other
songs... which will toggle the two choices.
