Browsing covers "hijacks" playback when playing from the lib

Open apnegrao opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

I'm not sure if this is a problem or a design choice, but I figured I should let you know any way: if I have something playing from the Library (or any other source, for that matter) and then go to Coverart and click on a cover, when the playing song ends, rhythmbox starts playing the selected cover. This affects only versions of the plugin after the fix for issue #368.

Steps to reproduce: 1 - Start playing from the Library; 2 - Go to Coverart and select any cover; 3 - Click the "Next" button in the toolbar.

The reason is that the Coverart source is being set as the playing source as soon as a cover is selected (i.e., clicked on), rather than when it is selected to play (by double clicking, for example).

I'll have a look - this has been in place for quite some-time so will need careful testing etc.

Thanks for the report.

think the above commit fixes this - its on the artisticonview branch.

This needs more testing before I'm happy to close this + it hasnt been merged to master yet since I havent completed the main purpose of this branch which is to revamp the artist view.

... also I note that RBNowPlaying seems to work very well now with coverart. Happy :)
