Issue with Filtering Favorite Songs by Multiple Genres

[masmith516 3]

When navigating to "Songs", I'm trying to filter my playlist by selecting my "Favorites" and choosing a few "Genre" options.  I close out filter options and select play or shuffle.  The application then hangs and does nothing.  I can't go back to re-select songs.  In some cases, I have to restart my server.

I tried looking for Android logs and the 'files' folder was empty.  And I've attached the server logs.

I'm using Emby for Android 3.3.95 and server version 4.8.7.0.  All this started happening after upgrading to 4.8.x.x.

 

Any insights with this issue would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi, when you do the same thing in the Emby web app, how does that compare?

[masmith516 3]

When I perform the same action on the app, it appears that nothing is happening.  But after 3 minutes, a playlist begins to play. I say appears that nothing is happening because there's nothing that says a process has started or that the app is in the middle of creating a playlist.  I does play, but it takes a while for the playlist to generate and begin.

I can confirm this issue the v4.8.7 and v4.9.0.22.

However, it isn't just with Favourites, it happens when filtering any of the main Music nodes (Albums, Artist, Album Artist, Songs) by genre and is the same behaviour as these threads  Shuffle All issue and Latest update broke Genre even more.

With server v4.8.7 on either the web browser or the mobile app 3 of 5 ways to shuffle/play are broken, server 4.9.0.16 improved this to 2 of 5 but there has been no improvement up to 4.9.0.22.

1: Music->Genre->Icon Context Menu->Shuffle or Play : Working

2: Music->Genre->Main Page->Shuffle or Play : Working

3: Music->Genre->Artists->Shuffle or Play : Slow playlist creation, high cpu usage during that time (fixed in 4.9.0.16+)

4: Music->Genre->Albums->Shuffle or Play : Very slow playlist creation, high cpu usage during that time (mobile app just give up)

5: Music->Genre->Songs->Shuffle or Play : Slow playlist creation, high cpu usage during that time

The speed is somewhat dependant on the number of items in the genre.

Add to the list (and are even slower than above)

6: Music->Albums->Filter->Select a Genre->Shuffle or Play : Extremely slow playlist creation, high cpu usage during that time (mobile app just give up)

7: Music->Album Artists->Filter->Select a Genre->Shuffle or Play : Extremely slow playlist creation, high cpu usage during that time (mobile app just give up)

8: Music->Artists->Filter->Select a Genre->Shuffle or Play : Slow playlist creation, high cpu usage during that time (fixed in 4.9.0.16+)

9: Music->Songs->Filter->Select a Genre->Shuffle or Play : Slow playlist creation, high cpu usage during that time

I tried #6 from the web browser, I clicked shuffle at 10:24 and over 7 minutes later it started to play.

Hi we’ll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

This behaviour has changed with the new beta but is still broken.

1: Music->Genre->Thumb Context Menu->Shuffle or Play :  (android) Playback Error, There was an error processing the request. Please try again later.

(web app) Sometimes works but the shuffled now playing list has tracks with no time and/or song title listed. When it gets to this track "Playback Error, There was an error processing the request. Please try again later." occurs and playback stops. Sometimes the error happens immediately after clicking shuffle.

2: Music->Genre->Main Page->Shuffle or Play : (android)  Playback Error, There was an error processing the request. Please try again later.

Below is the error for #7.

In the log (#7 album artists filter by genre shuffle.txt) I filtered by genre at 13:29:30, clicked shuffle at 13:30:00.

 

 

Below is the shuffled now playing list for #1 with the messed up tracks where it errors out.

In the log (#1 genre thumb context menu shuffle.txt) I used the context menu on the genre to shuffle at 13:38:00 and after playing the first track it displayed the error and quit at 13:41:25.

@Luke Is there any progress on this issue? This has been ongoing since 4.8 released and it seems I need to discover a new way to shuffle genres with each new beta. It has become very frustrating.
