francoisp 5 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I'm currently traveling and I'm accessing my Emby home server using a Google TV/Chromecast device. When listening to music I typically select a genre and then select "suffle all". For an unknown reason the songs that get selected are from *any* genre and not limited to the genre I'm in. At home I use another identical Google TV device and I haven't experienced this issue. I've been away for a few weeks so I'm wondering if there has been a recent update that broke the "suffle all" by genre functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Hi. Can you test with the web app to see if it behaves differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francoisp 5 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 (edited) It's working fine using the browser on my phone and also the andoid app. Edited February 25 by francoisp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Okay, you can either try with the current beta of the app or just wait until later this week when it is hopefully released. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14913 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Can you go into a genre and select the shuffle all command and then immediately grab the server log and post it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francoisp 5 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Can you indicate where the log is located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14913 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Sorry, I keep forgetting we removed normal requests from the log. Can you please turn on debug logging on the server and then do that again? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFBoroni 3 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Thanks for starting this topic @francoispI have the exact same issue on a Samsung TV with the Emby app installed. I love shuffling a Genre and this feature is not working. FYI, my server is a Windows 10 laptop and all my music uses the properties field to store the genre. Most of my file organization is artist/album/song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I cannot see anything wrong with the query from the app here. How are you determining that it is playing items that it shouldn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francoisp 5 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 (edited) After I select "suffle all" from within my genre, the playlist contains songs from other genre. If I perform the exact same operation using my phone app, I only see songs from the genre I'm in. Edit: Both my phone and the Google TV Chromecast are on the same wifi network.

Are you sure there is no path to these songs that would contain the genre? Like they are on a Various album with the genre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francoisp 5 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Out of curiosity, what info is returned by the server after a suffle all command? Is there a way the information can be misinterpreted by the Google TV Chromecast and not by my phone app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francoisp 5 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Just now, ebr said: Can we please see specific examples? Are you sure there is no path to these songs that would contain the genre? Like they are on a Various album with the genre? I'm not sure if this answers your question but all my songs have only one genre. In this actual case I've selected the genre "francais" and selected "suffle all". Looking at my playlist, I see songs from genres "francais", "classical", "pop" and many others. As I said I do not have this issue with my phone app. I don't understand why I have it with the Google TV Chromecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Hi. Can you try sideloading our standard android app on the same device and see how that compares? https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to quit the beta and load the standard app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francoisp 5 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 (edited) Okay, here's what I have done. I removed the app from my Google TV. Then I found out that at one point I had joined the beta program so I left it. After that I reinstalled the standard app and re-entered the server and user info. I tried the "suffle all" by genre and I got the same results i.e. the resulting playlist contains songs from a multitude of genres.

francoisp 5 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 I tried to suffle a different genre and I got a message "can't play the song" or something like that. Then the server stopped responding. I had to do a remote session to kill the emby process and restart it. Next I turned on debug and tried again with the server procesd going bonkers consuming 30% of my CPU. I don't know if this is related but I have attached the log. embyserver (1).txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm seeing the same issue as your original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking19 22 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Server 4.8.1, E4ATV 2.1.07 Select genre Country -> Shuffle All, at time 10:18:19.598 the first track that starts playing is Fiction Factory - Ghost Of Love (genre Pop). The server log shows it playing but that is not what was selected so probably not a useful log. It all works correctly with server 4.7.14. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking19 22 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I side loaded the mobile app 3.3.70 and it appears to work correctly, however it only selects one track since I can only play one minute. Select genre Country -> Shuffle, at time 11:21:47.470 the track playing is Crystal Gayle - Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue (genre Country). embyserver with mobile app.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
