When casting from Jellyfin, the last track in the album is played when selecting a song

Open jwillikers opened this issue 3 years ago • 8 comments

When casting to Jellycli, via a Jellyfin app like the web app or Android app, selecting an album or a song in an album always results in Jellycli playing the last song in the album for some reason. To play a song, I have to click the ... menu for a track and hit Play for the song to actually play.

Which Jellyfin server version are you using?

Version: 10.7.7

It'll take some time for me to fix it. Thanks for reporting this!

@tryffel No rush. Thanks so much for implementing the casting ability! I love it. I've had problems with Mopidy attempting to accomplish the same thing, but it was very unreliable and would drop-out as an available cast client. I've had Jellycli running for days and it's been available the whole time.

Okay that's good to know! I'm glad you like it! Although it clearly needs some tuning with new Jellyfin releases...

As per my issue report #36 (which I closed when I found this one) if you play the album it starts with the last track

I'm working round it for by hitting the next track button as soon as it starts playing it'll skip to the first track (where it should have started), as opposed to playing one song as described by @jwillikers

I'm using Jellyfin version 10.8.1

The work around of skipping forward to taking you to the first track doesn't really work.

The problem is that it does go to the first, I then plays all of the rest of the tracks in order, but doesn't play the last (where it started) because it thinks it already has.

May not be an issue for most pop music, but doesn't work for classical music and similar where the tracks are intended to be played in a prescribed order
